Jesse Ventura - Why Matches vs Hulk Hogan Were Scrapped | Becoming Wrestling's 1st Heel Announcer 

So, he gave respect when he got it back, and, he gave respect when he didn't get it back?

Jesse doesn't dislike Vince though, he himself said this. Him taking Vince to court wasn't personal it was business.

@@DrowningSorrows1 Precisely. Jesse only wishes to be paid what he's owed for services rendered and those VHS tapes on which he appeared were making considerable money at the time.

Telling it like it is.

BlackRock 1 Hands down the best combo ever. Jesse was perfect with Gorilla.

I loved Jessie on the Mike, but I put Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby The Brain Heenan together as a team on the same label as Jessie and Gorilla, maybe slightly better even.

Sorry, I meant level, not label

It' s still real to me damn it!😂😂

@JoJoe MC "That's right Mcmahon!"

aaronrus vince won't as he has to pay jesse royalties

I can’t see Jessie just sitting there with Vince constantly in his ear like they do with the current color commentary team. Cole is a better company man than Jessie.

cant STAND cole! screw xpac heat...michael cole heat is real! what a loser!

Jesse Ventura hates Vince McMahon

It just wouldnt be the same...

I love reading about his stories from when he was in the Navy. Respect sir! Oohyah

spanky rodriguez bang on.

I used to like Gorilla Monsoon too

@@THECARS7879 He was the best!!

Yea he was good along with Vince McMahon, Gorilla Monsoon along with Bobby Heenan. Jerry the King and Jim Ross were good too

@Karl M Cole was never good. Which is why the rock always bullied him, booker T and many others vomited on him, and Vince always gave him the crappy jobs. He earned respect for staying after all that abuse, but unfortunately getting respect doesn't make you good at what you do.

Jesse, Heenan, & Eric Bischoff were the best heel commentators.

A better broad caster than wrestler .. he looked good but pretty stiff

@@bobbyhulll8737 True, not a great wrester but he used psychology to antagonize, get people to hate him, was animated in his approach and drew crowds. Was fun in those days!

Oh, it was a brilliant move to put Ventura on commentary. The man was absolutely Hilarious 🤣

The Body and Gorilla Moonson were a great broadcasting duo for the WWF at the time. Jessie was also great with Vince McMahon on Saturday Nights Main Event. Always told it like it is

They stopped it because Jesse was just terrible in the ring in singles matches. Anyone who saw Hogan vs. Jesse Ventura in the AWA knows just how bad it would have been. Jesse was much, much better as a broadcaster than doing matches as a wrestler.

Hit like! He ain't got time to bleed!

Put Jesse back on the mic Vince

Since today's product is really bad, I don't know if I would watch it even if Jesse came back as a broadcaster.

He's been on record saying he would if the money was right, but yeah, it's just never gonna be what it once was. There's an old saying "You can't recreate greatness". Vince wanted to be the last man standing and he got his wish since there is no competition anymore, but look what it did to the industry? Competition and other promotions is what makes any industry thrive properly. All Vince and Co ever wanted to do was to bury everything else that they could. Well, now look at it. It's practically unwatchable. I mean, really, it's basically there at this point for vestigial purposes. But hey, at least we can relive it all with all the stuff that is online today :)

@@soulstormyweather I love when Ventura said "if the decimal point is in the right spot" or some shit like that.

The problem is they dont have enough good wrestlers

Jesse Ventura don't need the money

"even Andre"

Win if you can lose if you must but always cheat lol

Jesse wasn't the first heel commentator, but with all due respect to Piper Jesse was the one who made it a staple in the business. He revolutionized the role, so to speak.

Knowing Vince, that's probably what Ventura was told. GCW was great, but it wasn't being watched by the likes of Vince or Jesse.

True, one of the old WWE DVD's showed piper commentating as a heel. Vince believes he invented everything that happens in wrestling.....errrr "Sports Entertainment".

Owen, yeah but I don't think Jesse would dig today's commentary, esp. with the BS rules.

WWE is fucking trash.

I agree and I don't think his age would be a problem. As long as he did his research and was up with the product I think you can hear in this shoot Jesse still has a tone of personality.

Bored Now, yep, plus, the guy knows what he's talkin' about, unlike a stupid bitch named Nancy Grace.

WWEkids has no personality.

He would have, but NY "had" to be a babyface territory in that era.

He only served one term because he didn't do well as a governor in Minnesota.

Hes gonna run

Jason Voorhees who's the Brian???

I think he mispelled Brain. Bobby would've loved that gaff.

Cornette was just loud, no.

Mad tv?

Totally agree. McMahon was really underrated as the straight man.

McMahon and perfect had a hilarious time commentating a match involving a jobber named Sonny Trout- all the fishing jokes ever got thrown into that match.

“Gorilla I’m starting to believe that, Puke-amania is running out....”

"The Luster!". Lol that one was my favorite

Agree. Loved to hate Jesse as he was ALWAYS for the heel. Hilarious!

Jesse and the brain were the 2 best heels by far. Piper, Savage, Hennig and Lawler weren't as entertaining.

Jesse ain’t got time to bleed 🩸 😂

Jesse Ventura & Gorilla Monsoon-- Dream team in the commentary box.

Jesse was great! He told like it like it is.

That's what Warrior probably thought too, since he believed a lot of bullshit.

@@DrowningSorrows1 Ha ha, you so funny.

@@DrowningSorrows1 Warrior was onto the truth, sounds like you believe the bullshit you are fed....)

Ventura was the top heel in WWF until Randy Savage showed up in 85. They tagged together a few times before Jesse retired for good in April of 1986
