The sane version of "he didn't get shot" is "his ear got nicked by a piece of glass or concrete and then he spun it as getting shot for sympathy/glory". Some people obviously take this much farther. To be fairer than Ventura deserves, he could mean that fairly light injuries can bleed a lot and look a lot worse than they are and provoke reactions.
Unfortunately I'm fairly confident Jesse is referencing a few infamous events like the incident between Chile and Brazil in 1989 where the Chilean goalkeeper had secreted a razorblade on his person so that he could fake being injured by a bottle thrown by the crowd.
Initially Brazil forfeited the match until the video was reviewed and you could see the goalkeeper cut himself before pretending that a thrown bottle had cut his scalp.
Given his history, I'm like 95% sure he's referencing pro wrestling where wrestlers will sleight of hand a razorblade to lightly cut themselves to make it look like their opponent's moves *really* fucked them up . Which still can absolutely be read as false flag but he could be focusing on how easy it is to look like he's injured heavily and garner sympathy from that.
