The Internet's been around since 1969. You could get music, videos and even games by FTP in the 1980's. It's not the net that changed to make things possible, but the encoding (JPEG and MPEG came in the late 1980's and early 1990's)
Jesse was right up there with Rick Flair in terms of promo skills. I always leaned more towards the heels. They all had way more interesting personalities and mic skills.
Especially, when it's way-by-far the strongest part of the body! It's called barrel-on-stilts in the weight-lifting community. A person with good leg condition should be able to throw the weight of a fully-grown male grizzly bear clean into the air -- the bear himself, if that's the weight.
0:03 - 0:04 Corna (Sign of the Horns)... You see it all the time in the Entertainment industry... 90% of the time, it's with the left hand (which has a specific meaning as opposed to the right hand).
I Saw Him Wrestle in AWA 80 to 83 As He Was Famous For So Many Great Interviews Esp Saying Its ,Mr V To You You Are Going To See Alot Of Me Weather You Like It Or Not
Mean Gene is a legend...... Some people criticising Jesse's effort he has 100x more character than today's wrestling stars! (my comments have nothing to do with politics or 9/11)
Yeah, I love the promo where Jesse says to "the Incredible Chump" Hogan -- "You couldn't even beat Sylvester Stallone in the movie Rocky! I would've squashed that peanut in 30 seconds!" LOL
@Pjaynes781 Jesse has so much support from the research I've found I really hope he considers it. Our country is in desperate need of someone like Jesse or Ron Paul!
@aallhopeisgone09 He retired as a wrestler in 1984 for health reasons, had a failed comeback in 1985 and then did commentary from 1985 - 1990 when Vince used his image on a videogame without his permission. Predator came out in 1987 so he was still commentating at the time the film was made.
That taco salesman thing would never fly today. He's Hilarious. Would have loved to see him show up at one of his legit appearances as The Body. A Gubernatorial debate would have been perfect. Could have brought Mean Gene along and had him ask the questions.
Jesse is Awesome. I would totally vote for him if he runs for president. I love what he says about Tito Santana, and I quote, "Tito, Chico, whats the difference with a taco salesmen from Tijuana?" AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
@4browsing I never said it would be easy. It's still the military and I have loads of respect for him for that. And he was a fantastic wrestler. Although, he DID claim to see combat. He said "You've never hunted, until you've hunted men"
@suicidechickenshit He was never a Navy SEAL. He was a Member of the Navy's Underwater Demolitions Team. That merged with the SEALs in 1983, after his military service was over. He never even saw Combat.
Ventura definitely did not lack, in the promo skills dept. Creative must have had quite a time with those wrestlers, whose pathetic promo skills could easily be eclipsed, by that of a child. I hear that's why they began pairing them with 'managers' to fill-in, in that respect. But there were those who were still able to do a promo well, without uttering a single word--Steele was such a one. I recall watching some promo blooper he was in, wherein they broke character, because of some mistake. Up to that point, Steele was doing his trademark unintelligible noises, then suddenly laughed, and said something sarcastic to the announcer, in perfectly enunciated, educated English. It was quite unexpected. I also saw the guy who played Vader, giving a straight interview. He also was quite educated in speech, saying that before he got into pro wrestling, he was an accountant.
But added his own personality and own way to talk to create a character very different than Graham. Same for Hogan, he emulated Graham but was able to create his own legend thanks to his communication skills and his incredible charisma/personality. The only guy who blatantly stole everything Graham has done was that cheap hillbilly ripoff Austin Idol.
What bugs me is that someone called 'the body' does not have a good physique at all. Best physiques in wrestling : Rick Rude Lex Lugar Ultimate Warrior
+toad g He was a navy seal... a legit badass. And why are you bringing up MMA on a wrestling video and getting all butthurt. It's not that serious son... take a chill pill.
I seriously support the idea of Jesse for the President. Bush was fucking hilarious without a connection between his brain and mouth. Obama s jus too boring n monotonic like the Cleveland show. Jesse is exactly the guy we need.
![Former Governor Jesse Ventura’s Minnesota senate testimony in support of legalizing cannabis [FULL]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/D2YzC76Ojq8/mqdefault.jpg)
i hated jesse as a kid, but now as an adult...i realized what a real life badazz he is, navy seal, governor and all.
Aand Jesse was just so damb entertaining. Funny as hell
I liked Superstar Billy Graham, even with his bad-ass attitude. Ventura was basing his act on Superstar's, including adopting the name "Body".
LMFAO - this is great "...Chico, Tito...What's the difference with a taco salesman from Tijuana?..."
Uh he said my name
That line is epic as fuck 🤣
"internet....intercontinental..."
Jesse was ahead of his time!
My all time favorite wrestler!..nobody could talk with The Body!
Also my favorite Governor/Politician! hahaha
Opal's Glamarama, Pine Valley, CA.....any All My Children fans still alive???
My favorite wrestler he was the best at making promos nobody was in the same league with the body.
Jesse always had good mic skills, and he was one of the best "cheats" ever, what great entertainment and athletic prowess!
Jesse Was, Is and Will be the Best....superb show man.....
Opal's Glamarama. Opal Gardner, Pine Valley. That is a character and the location where All My Children occurs. It's a tv 📺 soap opera.
Man i love this. Back wwf was great and funny.
I love Jessie Ventura. He's a great smack talker and is funny too. He is a great patriot too.
Jesse was way ahead of his time
Opals Glamorama - Opal Gardner-Pine Valley....ALL MY CHILDREN reference. Am I right? Yes I am
Jesse could cut a brilliant promo!
Chico Santana and Chump Hogan-lol! I always found it funny when he called Ivan Putski -Padooski and Pat Patterson - ‘Jack’ Patterson as well
"The Chump will Run. The Chump will Hide."
1:17 Internet!?!?! in 1984!!! The body must of had a time machine!!!!!!
Illuminati confirmed!

Jesse was right up there with Rick Flair in terms of promo skills. I always leaned more towards the heels. They all had way more interesting personalities and mic skills.
I love how he makes a reference to All My Children (Opal Gardner) here...
Taco salesman from Tijuana! LMFAO!!!
Gene almost lost it when Jesse started in on Tito Santana!! 😂😂
Great interview with Jesse!When I started
watching he was an announcer ONLY.Cool to
see footage PRIOR to his announcing days!
What a legend. He made what the WWE is today.
I love that he doesn't have any hair anymore xD
He didn't have any hair there either. He only pulled his hat a fraction of the way up and didn't show any of the baldness he had back then.
Even without hair Jesse has strong personality, everybody likes him women or man let's be serious...
+Dragos Tudoran women want him. men want to be him
He was losing his hair when he was 26.
My dad always called him Jesse "Half a Body" Ventura, because he was all upper body and no legs. Remember kids: Never skip leg day!
Especially, when it's way-by-far the strongest part of the body! It's called barrel-on-stilts in the weight-lifting community. A person with good leg condition should be able to throw the weight of a fully-grown male grizzly bear clean into the air -- the bear himself, if that's the weight.
He always pulled his trunks up to hide his beer gut as well.
This guy is my idol..!
Jesse was Awesome!
Charismatic and great talker Jesse Ventura is!
Opal pine garden. Classic
0:03 - 0:04 Corna (Sign of the Horns)... You see it all the time in the Entertainment industry... 90% of the time, it's with the left hand (which has a specific meaning as opposed to the right hand).
I Saw Him Wrestle in AWA 80 to 83 As He Was Famous For So Many Great Interviews Esp Saying Its ,Mr V To You You Are Going To See Alot Of Me Weather You Like It Or Not
AMAZING
The announcers were lucky to have that close a view of his biceps flexing!
I don't agree with him politically these days, but I still love watching these old clips of him!lol
Mean Gene is a legend...... Some people criticising Jesse's effort he has 100x more character than today's wrestling stars!
(my comments have nothing to do with politics or 9/11)
1:18 lmfao!!!!
So politically incorrect. I love it!!!!
dam 1984... hes my babe xmichone fav guy nowadays for his tv show
Yeah, I love the promo where Jesse says to "the Incredible Chump" Hogan -- "You couldn't even beat Sylvester Stallone in the movie Rocky! I would've squashed that peanut in 30 seconds!" LOL
Ventura retired due to blood clots in his lungs, I'd like to see you wrestle through that...
@Pjaynes781 Jesse has so much support from the research I've found I really hope he considers it. Our country is in desperate need of someone like Jesse or Ron Paul!
Always loved his rants about Ivan Putski aka "Ivan Paduski" LOL
Oh geez, the guy was about to say International Champion.
Mean Gene was so cool. Note how he looks discretely at his pants at 0:54.
@aallhopeisgone09 He retired as a wrestler in 1984 for health reasons, had a failed comeback in 1985 and then did commentary from 1985 - 1990 when Vince used his image on a videogame without his permission. Predator came out in 1987 so he was still commentating at the time the film was made.
opals glamarama huh???
Gotta go there.
It's a reference to a hair salon on All My Children.
It's a salon in All My Children. Jesse was ahead of his time..
my boss started calling me this at work im like ....FML lol im not that buff
I'm Australian . Jessy for pres 2016
a godamn sexual tyrannosaurus
That taco salesman thing would never fly today. He's Hilarious. Would have loved to see him show up at one of his legit appearances as The Body. A Gubernatorial debate would have been perfect. Could have brought Mean Gene along and had him ask the questions.
This is where Steiner got his gimmick
Very funny. Ahead of his time.
Jesse is Awesome. I would totally vote for him if he runs for president. I love what he says about Tito Santana, and I quote, "Tito, Chico, whats the difference with a taco salesmen from Tijuana?" AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
Mean Gene was the greatest.
@4browsing
I never said it would be easy. It's still the military and I have loads of respect for him for that. And he was a fantastic wrestler. Although, he DID claim to see combat. He said "You've never hunted, until you've hunted men"
@suicidechickenshit
He was never a Navy SEAL. He was a Member of the Navy's Underwater Demolitions Team. That merged with the SEALs in 1983, after his military service was over. He never even saw Combat.
This man was a governor.
Ventura definitely did not lack, in the promo skills dept. Creative must have had quite a time with those wrestlers, whose pathetic promo skills could easily be eclipsed, by that of a child. I hear that's why they began pairing them with 'managers' to fill-in, in that respect.

It obviously goes without saying, that Ventura's comments, regarding Santana's Mexican heritage, would never have made it to air, today.
this guy is genius
whats the difference with a taco salesman from tijuana
hahaha I laughed. great stuff!!
@goingallout Yes it is an All My Children reference
@AnimalLover1977 Internet got commercial in the early 90s and by the late 90s almost everyone in the western world had an internet connection =P
Waiting for y
ou presldanrr
Lol I miss the 80s!
Damn, his arm really is bigger than Mean Gene's head...
Yeah that was hilarious, i saw that last week. lol all the way
Why do I have a feeling Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan modeled their Characters a bit after Jesse Ventura.
@suicidechickenshit he was never a seal, he was in UDT which wasn't absorbed by the seals until 1983. Seals status is not retroactive.
VENTURA/ND TYSON 2016
Wow how do people not see the obvious rehearsed entertainment and advertising wrestling provides?
uhm, did Jesse create the internet? Or did Al Gore steal his idea?
He completely ripped off Superstar Billy Graham's persona.
But added his own personality and own way to talk to create a character very different than Graham. Same for Hogan, he emulated Graham but was able to create his own legend thanks to his communication skills and his incredible charisma/personality. The only guy who blatantly stole everything Graham has done was that cheap hillbilly ripoff Austin Idol.
well actually if you knew your stuff you would know that they both took from superstar billy graham.
Throw your hat in the ring
The greatest heal announer. There goes Ivan Puduski Putski Jess Puduski right!
he lives in mexico
Wow, internet. Maybe Jesse the body Ventura invented it, unlike Al Gore.
LMFAO Taco salesman from Tijuana!!! HAHA!!!!!!
I also love jessie calling him Chico.
And knowing Opal back in the day she probably would have done Jesse's hair like that. LOL
was he still in the wwf when he starred in predator?
Jesse doesn't really want nothing much to do with pro wrestling anymore.
LOL bigger then your head
jesse ventura is SUCH a badass
@suicidechickenshit u forgot movie star too
He says internet
He called Tito Santana "Chico", which is Spanish for "boy". If that's not racist, I don't know what is.
Jesse "The Cool" Ventura lol
lol @ "bigger than your head" when he flex his muscles in front of mean gene's face
is it just me or does scott steiner kind of act like ventura in character
And You Mean Gene tell the truth!
1:14 Was he about to say internet champion?
I wounder if bruts beefcake got his ideas from jese ventura
i was six
Macho man might of taken some tips from Jesse's stylist
that's when rasslin was cool!
What bugs me is that someone called 'the body' does not have a good physique at all.
Best physiques in wrestling :
Rick Rude
Lex Lugar
Ultimate Warrior
+toad g Ventura could have whipped all the guys you mentioned.
MovieGuy666 No, he could not.
Plus, we are talking about physiques, not real fights, where a MMA guy would destroy any WWE actor.
Get a clue.
+toad g He was a navy seal... a legit badass. And why are you bringing up MMA on a wrestling video and getting all butthurt. It's not that serious son... take a chill pill.
MovieGuy666 He does not have a good body, and was not voted as such.
did when be was young watch awa promos
im confused is this the same jesse ventura that became a conspiranoic theorist later?
Jesse the doughboy here lol
oooh look at that!
lol
Thermite paint
I seriously support the idea of Jesse for the President. Bush was fucking hilarious without a connection between his brain and mouth. Obama s jus too boring n monotonic like the Cleveland show. Jesse is exactly the guy we need.
@suicidechickenshit
i think Jesse Ventura president!
