Ventura is an unbelievable story teller, could listen to him for hours

Anyone else able to sit and listen to Jesse all day? This guy does fantastic interviews.

Jesse's voice is meant to tell stories.

Jimmy Snuka did my card show in the East Bay Area in the '70s and was signed to do only a 2 hour appearance. It went so well and Jimmy had so much fun that he stayed the whole 8 hours and signed 100s of free autographs, took all kinds of pictures, and taught all the kids how to get in and out holds. Simply the best ever.

When Jesse talks everyone listens because his interviews are interesting.

Jesse really does have a great voice for naration. His color commentary was a hoot! He and Mean Gene really did have a chemistry between them, they played off of each other perfectly and both were hilarious.

always liked listening to him talk..bout anything

Jesse is just awesome Miss him in wrestling

Ventura is the best talker in wrestling. You could listen to his stories all day.

Jimmy Snuka did my card school in the 70s and was a super guy. He was hired for autographs for half a day and he was so popular he stayed all day and even help put the tables and chairs away. SUPER GUY

After watching the "Jesse Ventura" TV persona for years, it's refreshing to see a rare vision of the real Jesse Ventura. One of the great ones. Loved him as the wrestler and our governor.

This is my fav Jesse interview. Back to YOU, McMahon

I love watching these wrestlers reminiscing about the days when they were kings! I remember as a kid watching AWA and being glued to the tv every Saturday morning! Lol. Fun times when I had no cares in the world! ☮️🖖🏽

I moved into the greater Portland TV market in 1983 and remember flipping through late night TV and seeing Portland wrestling. Lots of the greats wrestled there.

My grandmother was a teacher at a special needs school in Anoka, MN. When I was about 10 years old there was a family emergency and I was dropped off with my grandmother at her school. I was playing with this little girl name Jade, out of nowhere I heard the unmistakable voice of Jesse Ventura. I had no idea Jade was his daughter. I had so many signed cards (bdays, xmas, etc) quite the collection, then I joined the Air Force and when I got back from being overseas I learned my mom sold my entire collection, including my signed copy of Predator which Jesse got several cast members to sign it for me.

My twin brother and I grew up listening to the hilarious banter between Jesse Ventura and either Vince McMahon or Gorilla Monsoon on all of the wrestling broadcasts. The man had excellent mic skills. I rarely took notice of him while he was an active wrestler, but I'm sure that he was very entertaining and flamboyant to say the least. Thanks for all of the classic ring memories Big Jess! ✌️😎🤓🎂🎉🎊🙏

I had a smile on My face the whole time I was watching this. I grew up watching Jesse "The Body" Ventura wrestle. Jesse is an all around great guy and an amazing storyteller. He is definately one of the greats! They dont make em like that anymore.

I have never ever EVER heard Jesse stutter, have dead air or revert or retract what he says.. Right on the money

In the 90's I could stop by Village Inn, for coffee and pie, and see Superfly there eating sometimes, wearing his leopard prints, from head to toe. He was always very nice and friendly.

Jesse "The Body" Ventura is a living legend!

Man I’ve seen all these Jesse interviews!!! He is a real STAND UP MAN!!!!!

My one cousin was working out in a local gym. He saw Jesse and Tony Atlas spotting for each other. They were supposed to wrestle each other in the main event that night. My cousin said why would you be spotting each other than have to fight tonight? Jesse said that Tony was the only person he knew there that was pushing the same weight as he was. He's the only one I can trust. He trust me just as much.

When I first started watching pro wrestling.....about 7 or 8 years old, Jesse The Body was a GREAT heel color commentator.

Jesse is so articulate. I remember Jesse Ventura & Adrian Adonis being a tag team in the AWA and they wore flashy attire.

Jesse refusing to be a jobber is great! He really was one guy who spoke his mind, and nobody could control him.

To this day 1 of my most vivid memories of wrestling was Snuka leaping from the top of the cage. Amazing ....paving the way for what we have seen since.

I was at the Nascar Cafe in the Sahara years ago and he was there. Was very personable and charismatic .... great time hanging with him

The Gov' !!!! As a Proud Minnesotan !!!! Jesse is a Great Guy, he NEVER pulled any punches in politics or radio or rasselin'.....

Jesse is quite the character. I never saw much of his wrestling but he sure was an entertaining heel commentator!

Hands down my favorite wrestling announcer of all time. 1998 Summer Slam match between Rude and the Warrior was just awesome. Jesse made that match so exciting to listen to. Tony was with him.

its incredible for wrestlers who had their heads knocked so many times, they can remember things years ago. i cannot remember what i did last week and i am only 58

I saw Snuka, Andre, hogan, Rick martel, Ricky steamboat and billy graham in Auckland NZ in 85...small arena..it was amazing

These Ventura interviews are taking me back.

Big chief wahoo McDaniel , hacksaw jim dougan, big boss man, scrap iron bill ford, rugged ronnie garvin, dusty rhodes, on and on. Good memories of watching wrestling on Saturday mornings as a kid. The nwa days of the 4 horsemen, sting, stiener bros, road warriors.... just makes it hard to watch wrestling nowadays

Love these Jesse clips, thanks guys!

I enjoy Jesse Ventura. His voice and mannerisms are just like my uncle Gary’s. He and “Mean Gene” announcing on Saturday nights. Fun times…when wrestling was just starting to get exciting.

Superfly Jimmy Snuka. Wicked wrestler. First time I saw him was one late night on ITV in 1988. That time ITV was the only 24hr channel in the UK and they used to show *"Superstars of Wrestling"* & *"Wrestling Challenge,"* all brand new at the time. It was through those shows I knew about "Mean" Gene Ockerlund.

Jesse is a bit full of himself but I enjoy his stories very much. He was a great entertainer.

Snuka is one of my favorite wrestlers back in the 80s i remember he got pilot driver outside on the concrete floor 3 times

Man you can tell he loved the business.

Always love hearing Jesse's stories. I could listen to this guy for hours 😂

Remember seeing Jimmy Snuka, Dutch Savage, Apache “Bull” Ramos, The Youngbloods, and many others at Seattle in the seventies. He was truly a king of the ropes and get out of any submission hold. Awesome good ol’ days.

Jesse the Body from the golden age of wrestling

Jesse's fun to listen to even with that skullet he's rocking

Jesse always seem like a straight shooter and shrewd operator

Jesse can speak very well. Jesse Keep talking , keep telling us stories

Ventura and Monsoon were unmatched as narrators !!!!!

a man you love to have as a friend ...you gotta love jesse

Love these classic stories.

I remember the old Portland Sports Arena. Great memories watching the matches live.

Jesse & Vince doing double heel commentary on tv was the shit too. Man those guys had on air chemistry.

Retro gaming hippie approves! As a fellow veteran I have admired jesse Ventura. As a kid I loved watching him wrestle. Great to hear the Portland wrestling connection having grown up in rural Oregon I lived 80’ Portland wrestling!

Love these interviews. Greg”the hammer” does tons of this stuff. He another good shoot interview. Both of these guys have fantastic mic skills.

Jimmy Super Fly Snuka a true Legend!! Always one of my favorites growing up in the 80's watching WWF.

Love to hear Jessie talk about the old days in wrestling, I'd never vote for him but that's s different subject...

I did stand up comedy for a while, Snuka was a guest one night. I got to hang out with him after the show for a few hours and it was a blast. Ventura would be wild, this guy is next level.

I couldn't believe my eyes the first time i saw Snuka do his super splash live at the cow palace, he body slammed his opponent in one corner then climbed up the ropes in the far opposite corner, at this point I'm thinking what the hell, he jumps across the entire ring to land on the other guy it was unreal.

Thanks for posting. I love Jesse Ventura stuff.

Jesse Ventura is a great storyteller.

I met a guy that sounds just Like him and even talks like him,real smart too,knows alot, explains what he did and what he accomplished and so on just the same as him.

Ventura was a colorful character, who knew he was limited in the ring. His pairing with Adonis worked, because it fused a personality with an excellent worker.

I love Jesse's voice... so cool.

Jimmy sounds like a giving guy unlike Hogan, HBK & other top guys. Outside of what he did in his private life, Snuka seems like a great guy and would be proud to know that Tamina is a champion RIGHT NOW.

a lot of pro wrestlers have great minds and verbal skills. It's interesting as hell to listen to them home fryin' it like this...

Who would’ve thought that a man who became rich & famous in a “fake fighting sport” (I say that respectfully) would turn out to be one of the most honest men to ever hold elected office & speak so much truth to power & the ppl. Ventura is an American hero.

I could listen to Jesse all day long… This wrestling star says it, the way it is…. A legend!!!!

jesse is awesome..i remember summer slam 88 or 89 in nj he and mcmahon went live on ppv, a few rows behind me was a very loud guy started yelling "jesse jesse jesse" i started with him so for that moment there was only two of us then within one second later the entire arena was chanting it. he was so over as a commentator.

I grew up watching Big Time Wrestling out of Portland. Jesse first came in and teamed up with Playboy Buddy Rose and he went by the Brain Surgeon, and he never spoke. They funded with Dutch Savage and Jimmy Snuka. Both Jesse and Snuka were built and it was the contest of who had the better full Nelson’s. Good stuff, I remember Piper coming in at 17, Apache Bull Ramos, Johnny Eagles, and ref Sandy Bar.

I was there. In the NW. He had one hold. The one they give to all the wrestlers who can't work. The full nelson

Jesse and Mean Gene could have hosted their own sports news and information network with the talents they both had.

Always found it facinating when they call it the 'business'.

I always liked how he pronounces Snuka. "Snooka."

always enjoy hearing Jesse speak

Always loved Snuka, broke my heart to see The Crippler piledriving him outside the ring.

Yes the late 70s early 80s I lived in Portland Oregon we look forward to I believe it was Sunday night. All the wrestling stars were there the beginning it was awesome.

Haha. My comment is as I have now read of so many others. What a great story teller, incredibly interesting and captivating man. I too could listen to him for hours 🙂🙂

Ventura was hilarious as a heel WWE commentator back in the day. Bobby Heenan was a very close second.

I LOVE listening to Jesse, the man is smart and can talk. The body was no wrestler by any stretch, BUT on the mic he was pure GOLD! Vince was smart for bringing Jesse in as a commentator once Jesse's wrestling career died down.

Jesse, snuka piperall were in portland , i was lucky to watch them weekly..

I remember when those 2 were wrestling in Portland, Oregon. It was awesome

Btw, if you grew up with wrestlIng and a little brother, if you don’t have memories of pile driving him into your mom’s table and getting punished, you haven’t lived. 😂😂😂

The wrestling Jesse is talking about was from Portland and called big time wrestling it was also taped delayed and shown in Washington. Jesse was the Kansas city butcher boy when wrestled in Portland and Seattle and was later tagged teamed with a wrestler called Apache bull Ramos who wrestled jimi snuka playboy bubby rose Dutch savage Ricky steamboat jay young blood .

that's the best type of pro wrestling stories, Titles going back and forth.

the whole show changed when jesse left in '90

Jesse and Mean Gene the best pairing ever.

I remember Portland Wrestling in the 70's! Snuka, Bull Ramos, Dutch Savage, Ventura.

Been looking for some Ventura shoots

When Wrestling was Wrestling & there were many independent markets Jesse. much like many of the 70s/80s Characters was one of the BEST

I remember Jessie singing, “oh Leatherneck on blended knee, can kiss the ass of the UDT!!” on WFAN in NYC way back.

You never need to ask Jesse to repeat what he said.

Anybody here who watched these guys on Big Time Wrestling?💪

Good storytelling! Could listen to Jesse go on for hours about The Biz. EX: Didn't know that about "Mean Gene" coming from The Body as well as the "The Hot Air Machine." 😄

Along with Booker and Heenan, Ventura were my favorite announcers.

Great stuff

Had a bad mushroom trip while watch a jesse ventura interview once, he is so great but his voice litterally terrifies me now.

Watched both of them work for Don Owen for years in Portland and Seattle as a kid.

Of all the interviews of jesse I watched this one is the most recent

Ventura should still be working for one of the major wrestling development agencies. His experience and knowledge of the wrestling business is impressive. A lot of young guys could really benefit off his wrestling I.Q.
