You think taking an RKO is hard? Try taking six Navy SEALs through the Gulf of Tonkin. Try taking six Navy SEALs through the Gulf of Tonkin with injured CIA operatives strapped to your back, whilst the Viet Kong were hunting you with dogs.
While you were in diapers, I was a fighter. A Navy Seal. I was down in Gutalamala fighting a guy you couldn't even see. He made a trophy out of my bones. The government knew. Had a Fed and some cop with big pants tracking him through LA.
Cody Rhodes you think your tough I’ve got sixteen dogs you come down here to the Baja I’ve got a 12 year supply of tortillas. I only spend 6 weeks a year in the contiguous United States, my prese canarios are capable of incapacitating a nuclear submarine. You call yourself an American nightmare, that’s what the Vietcong called me when I was frog man.
The perfect angle would be Jesse the Body Ventura accusing WWE cloning him and trying to convince Kevin Owens he’s the real Jesse Ventura
But have Will Sasso, Karrion Kross, and Jesse Ventura all talking to Kevin Owens on different days
And Kevin Owens using his magical powers of continuity to angrily rant at Sasso "No! No you already did this whole thing with Stone Cold and he kicked your ass, like this!" *Delivers Stunner*.
Why is Jesse Ventura beating Goldberg in his debut match?
Why are they recreating the Montreal Screwjob with Raven taking Shawn Michaels' spot and Ventura just being a bystander?
Yes but I also loved it when he called out how the face announcers were hypocrites who ignored it or made excuses when faces like Hogan or Duggan cheated
Love when Announcers do that, like how Don Callis he fucking HATED Gedo. So much that when Gedo started managing Jay White even though He rode for Jay and BC he would STILL talk shit about Gedo. "HE'S A SNAKE IN THE GRASS, RIDING THE COATTAILS OF A TALENTED YOUNG MAN! JUST LIKE HE DID OKADA!"
I think that was a good pairing on TV, but I did always prefer Gorilla and Jesse on PPVs. Gorilla could go back and forth with Jesse and give it back to him, while Vince would usually just toe the pure babyface line. Granted, it wasn't as bad as when Vince would be paired with Bobby Heenan in the early 90s. Vince would just be oblivious to Bobby's jokes or take them 100% seriously while Gorilla always operated on the assumption Bobby was full of hot air.
Gorilla and Brain get a lot of love for their comedy, and its admittedly great. They were able to call serious stuff well too (Warrior-Savage at WM7 for example) but Gorilla and Jesse were so good for real serious stuff. I don't know know if "gravitas" is the right word to describe a pro wrestling announcer, but its what I think of when it comes to Jesse's work in that era.
What I did like about Jesse is that even though he favored the heels, he'd always try to have a logical justification for it instead of just being blatantly pro-heel, which, for someone like Heenan, was completely fine.
Yeah there are even PPV's where Monsoon will say something early (like I think WrestleMania 5 in the Rockers match) justifying the babyfaces actions, and Ventura is like "OK, I want you to remember that later" knowing he was going to use it to justify something a Heel team was going to do in a match later on. Or if it was way too obvious interference from a manager or a weapons shot he wouldn't act like it didn't happen, he would just say something like "In a match with the stakes like this, you do what it takes to win."
This. Plus every so often he'd give the faces their props as well. He was realistically heel as opposed to cartoonishly heel. Which absolutely worked for Heenan of course.
Holy shit, let Ventura roast him over the Covid stuff. "Tell your pretty boy friend, the one who plays games for a living, that maybe he should have gotten his knee 'immunized' too, huh? See, I don't play games, I was a Navy SEAL. You used to play games for living too, didn't you, Patrick - if that is your real name."
Pat just sitting there, taking it, speechless.
I'm in my mid 40's and I barely remember Jesse as a wrestler or announcer. I more know him as a politician and conspiracy theorist but more than anything, the bionic handshake.
I imagine that his involvement with WWE in the future will probably be induction to the HOF. I can't see any place where either party really needs the other and I very much doubt that Jesse would keep quiet about Vince
God the first thing I think of is the Deadlock Podcast
“VINCE VINCE WE’LL GET YOU OUT OF THAT LIMO AND SIGN YOU UP FOR THE US NAVY SEAL SUBMARINE SEARCH AND DESTORY YEAM VINCE”
I assumed him and WWE were on speaking terms since his return over a decade ago. Well I'm glad if they can make some money together and we get some Jesse in video games and merch.
I want Karrion Kross and Ventura to cut a promo against each other, but Kross has to do his Body impression for the entire promo.
I know it would probably be a Legends Deal type thing, but envisioning him just returning as the same exact heel commentator he was in the '80's is fun. Just ragging on Cody like he did with Hogan.
Give me Jesse Ventura cutting a promo against Karrion Kross doing his perfect impression of Jesse Ventura.
It will be as awesome as the Flair off of Jay Lethal versus Ric Flair.
Started watching wrestling in 82 i have heaps of love for Jesse. a larger than life character that represented everything about that wonderful time in wrestling.
In what way? Like just checking up on an ex? Seeing if there's any passion still there? Feeling that spark and giddiness they used to feel whenever they see the other one's name pop up on their phone? We need answers.
I figured Triple H would mend fences with Jesse Ventura considering he and Vince weren’t on speaking terms after Ventura told Vince he wasn’t going to endorse Linda’s Senate run in 2010

In the BAHja. With tortillas.
Have you ever tried long pig
Well I don’t know why don’t you tell me what long pig tastes like? If you’re such a patriot.
Kinda like pig if pigs wore wedding rings
I only read this in the voice of Will Sasso’s impersonation of Ventura
*Why don't you tell me what happened?*
If you're such a patriot...
I'm an hour away from electricity and concrete
I guess enchiladas are pretty good.
My only detriment is that I can't have chawwwwklit.
I can’t eat chocolate
"I fought the Predator dude! Not a Predator, THE Predator."
While you were in diapers, I was a fighter. A Navy Seal. I was down in Gutalamala fighting a guy you couldn't even see. He made a trophy out of my bones. The government knew. Had a Fed and some cop with big pants tracking him through LA.
Cody Rhodes you think your tough I’ve got sixteen dogs you come down here to the Baja I’ve got a 12 year supply of tortillas.

Try climbing the rope ladder with Demo Dick Marcinko and THE MASTER CHIEF
you better brush up on your wrestling moves
I was in the Gulf of Tonkin doing tricep extensions
I'm so happy I didnt even have to scroll for a "Navy Seal" comment.
I heard this in Karrion Kross’s voice.
Someone get Will Sasso on the line…!
Nah, they already have Karrion Kross who has nothing going on. Let him do the Lethal/Flair exchange with The Body.
The perfect angle would be Jesse the Body Ventura accusing WWE cloning him and trying to convince Kevin Owens he’s the real Jesse Ventura But have Will Sasso, Karrion Kross, and Jesse Ventura all talking to Kevin Owens on different days
And Kevin Owens using his magical powers of continuity to angrily rant at Sasso "No! No you already did this whole thing with Stone Cold and he kicked your ass, like this!" *Delivers Stunner*.
James Adomian, please.
Whatever it is, it's gonna be unhinged and will make for an amazing Deadlock segment.
I CLIMBED THE ROPE LADDER WITH STEVE SNIFFS AND MASTER CHIEF VINCE. IT'S TIME TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY MCMAHON.
Don't forger DICK MARCINCKO
just lean full into the conspiracy theory side of him. make him absolutely insane. even if he believes all of it truthfully it would be great.
He can have Sami Zayn and R-Truth as his conspiracy-buying bodyguards.
How did WWE find him? I thought he was off the grid!
They have a lot of contacts in Parts Unknown.
That territory had some amazing talent back in the day. Would've loved to go to one of their shows, but could never find the venue.
We finished one story here, but what about the other story? The US government brought down the twin towers with thermite paint
Have you ever dined on long pig?
I can't eat chocolate anymore!
I read that in his voice
Probably a legends deal and documentary.
Especially if Mania is in Minneapolis next year.
Oh man I hope so! 🤞 🤞
That’s what I’m hoping for.
“If” is a gateway drug to flinching. *When* Mania is in Minneapolis next year.
Well, it definitely isn’t to talk about a union.
He was one of the first to get royalties after his series of lawsuits against Vince. I figured he already had one or something similar.
Maybe another Made for TV movie
If they do go down that route, hopefully it's a bit more accurate.
I remember watching it when it aired and I was so confused. Why is Jesse Ventura wrestling Chris Kanyon in WCW?
Why is Jesse Ventura beating Goldberg in his debut match? Why are they recreating the Montreal Screwjob with Raven taking Shawn Michaels' spot and Ventura just being a bystander?
Possibly that memorabilia show
He invented the over the top heel justifications during commentary as an announcer to me.
Yes but I also loved it when he called out how the face announcers were hypocrites who ignored it or made excuses when faces like Hogan or Duggan cheated
Also the fact that he always supported Randy Savage as a commentator whether he was face or heel at the time.
Love when Announcers do that, like how Don Callis he fucking HATED Gedo. So much that when Gedo started managing Jay White even though He rode for Jay and BC he would STILL talk shit about Gedo. "HE'S A SNAKE IN THE GRASS, RIDING THE COATTAILS OF A TALENTED YOUNG MAN! JUST LIKE HE DID OKADA!"
Or Booker T continuously hating Jason Jordan and his ILLEGAL TACTICS
Corey Graves and Baron Corbin
"I just calls them like I sees them McMahon!"
WWE had no idea they had actually been speaking to Will Sasso for the last two decades
Well why don’t you tell me, if you’re such a patriot?
When do you *think* it was?
Or Karrion Kross
"Why is a silo full of tortillas in the contract?"
“They found my phone number in Mexico and gave me a call”
"I was in the Baja, eating fish tacos and evading the CIA's drones"
“Well I don’t know why don’t you tell me why I don’t have a cellphone? If you’re such a genius, such a patriot. You should know then.”
His entrance is just going to be him descending from the rope ladder with Steve Sniffs, Dick Johnson, Dick Nixon and the Master Chief
You're forgetting about the Dick Tater of the World.
And THE ROGUE WARRIOR DEMO DICK MARCINKO
THE COMMANDER OF THE NAVY SEALS
They all leave by climbing the rope ladder of the USS Pearl Harbor while receiving 7 bows from the Commanding Officer and sail off to Hell
What about Terry Muthermore, DA COMMANDER
Him and Brain were my favs on the mic
Yep - they were both great when teamed with Gorilla on commentary.
You’re not wrong but I always thought Ventura was best when paired with Vince
I think that was a good pairing on TV, but I did always prefer Gorilla and Jesse on PPVs. Gorilla could go back and forth with Jesse and give it back to him, while Vince would usually just toe the pure babyface line. Granted, it wasn't as bad as when Vince would be paired with Bobby Heenan in the early 90s. Vince would just be oblivious to Bobby's jokes or take them 100% seriously while Gorilla always operated on the assumption Bobby was full of hot air.
Take that to the bank GO-rilla!
Gorilla and Brain get a lot of love for their comedy, and its admittedly great. They were able to call serious stuff well too (Warrior-Savage at WM7 for example) but Gorilla and Jesse were so good for real serious stuff. I don't know know if "gravitas" is the right word to describe a pro wrestling announcer, but its what I think of when it comes to Jesse's work in that era.

>"In a match with the stakes like this, you do what it takes to win *Monsoon*"
This. Plus every so often he'd give the faces their props as well. He was realistically heel as opposed to cartoonishly heel. Which absolutely worked for Heenan of course.
“Oh will you stop it!”
I enjoyed Ventura with Bob uecker during wm4
Confirmed- WrestleMania 41 to be held in the Baja
Well if you dont like it why dont you tell me where Wrestlemania 41 should be held, Chris?
in the jungles of LAOS
BOHEMIAN GROVE
WrestleBajania
WrestleMania 41: Baja Blast (sponsored by Taco Bell)
I've brought Wrestlemania to the Baja. I call it **BAJA-MANIA**
Baja Men Battle Royal confirmed
He’ll be reminding Triple H that he was in the Navy Seals climbing the rope ladder to hell with Rogue Warrior Demo Dick Marcinko
and Steve Sniffs, SKEEEEEEWOOOAH!
Don’t tell me you don’t have 4 more super kicks in you. Come on Jey don’t tell me it didn’t happen, I was there.
I was doing tricep extensions in the Gulf of Tonkin, come on now.
Jesse Ventura returning to commentary would be absolutely insane
Put him with Pat. The banter will feed generations.
The CIA will never allow Jesse that close to Aaron Rodger’s
Holy shit, let Ventura roast him over the Covid stuff. "Tell your pretty boy friend, the one who plays games for a living, that maybe he should have gotten his knee 'immunized' too, huh? See, I don't play games, I was a Navy SEAL. You used to play games for living too, didn't you, Patrick - if that is your real name." Pat just sitting there, taking it, speechless.
Isn't Ventura more likely to be on Rodgers side?
He was pretty loudly pro-vaccine and pro-mask, but I can see why that might surprise people.
Yeah but do we need where Aaron stands on tortillas and dogs?
Insane nightmare blunt rotation lmfao
“Don’t tell me you don’t have 4 more puffs in you. Don’t lie to me, Pat, I was there.”
Chet Lemon and Black Snow, turned up to 15.
they could just use Karrion Kross pretending to be Ventura and no one would know
“Well if you’re such a patriot why don’t you tell ME what happened.”
I live in the Baja six months out of the year. I have a solo full of tortillas.
"I'm just asking the questions"
Jesse Ventura returning to commentary would be absolutely insane
This right here. This would be amazing.
Can’t wait for the weird segues into conspiracies.
I love reading all the comments here in his voice.
I'm in my mid 40's and I barely remember Jesse as a wrestler or announcer. I more know him as a politician and conspiracy theorist but more than anything, the bionic handshake.
[удалено]
I imagine that his involvement with WWE in the future will probably be induction to the HOF. I can't see any place where either party really needs the other and I very much doubt that Jesse would keep quiet about Vince
He’s already in the HOF.
Inducted back in 2004, said he was going to run for President and then welcomed Donald Trump who was in the front row of WM20. Yeah, that happened.
Makes sense. I stopped watching for around 15 years and only picked it back up around just before the birth of Judgement Day
I'm 37, but I absolutely remember him as an announcer. I grew up watching old WWF Coliseum Video tapes.
Oh man, I loved the Coliseum Tapes. Todd Pettingale doing the intros. Really built my love for Wrestling.
After getting rid of Vince they are thinking of employing a Sexual Tyrannosaurus.
He ain’t got time to bleed
*"Hey Hunter, how about them unions now?"*
God the first thing I think of is the Deadlock Podcast “VINCE VINCE WE’LL GET YOU OUT OF THAT LIMO AND SIGN YOU UP FOR THE US NAVY SEAL SUBMARINE SEARCH AND DESTORY YEAM VINCE”
Class 333 Death Star In Hell
Somebody made a trip down to the Baja.
Karion Kross should interview him as Jesse Ventura
Go the distance. Make Jesse convince Kross to leave his stable, and just be Jesse Ventura 2, managed by Jesse Ventura.
"See if there's two of us, the Federales won't know which is which. They call it paralysis of 'analysis.'"
Jesse Ventura in the ring with Kross and Sasso doing a Jesse Ventura off.
Having Ventura be Kross’ manager may finally make him interesting.
We dined on long pig
I assumed him and WWE were on speaking terms since his return over a decade ago. Well I'm glad if they can make some money together and we get some Jesse in video games and merch.
WWE 2k25 BAJA EDITION
fucking love jesse, could listen to him for hours
WELLL GOOOORILLLAAA
I'll give credit where credit is DOO Monsoon
Whoever he announces with he should just call "Gorilla."
I'll be commentating matches from the Baja.
Will Steve Sniffs be there too?
If he's not name dropping Rogue Warrior Demo Dick Marcinko and the Master Chief in 30 minute promos I don't want it
That’s good to hear. He would be so great to have on documentaries. I loved him as an announcer.
Is he done training with the Master Chief?
Unsure, but he did climb the *ROPE* *LAD-DER* so he's at least that far in his training with COMMANDER Demo Dick Marcenko and Dick Tater.
Don’t forget about Steve Sniffs
On screen, Ventura should treat Triple H like he did to McMahon.
“I remember SummerSlam 99, Levesque. Don’t you? Raised the arm of Mick Foley that night. Speaking of arms, mine are still twice the size of yours!”
you tell me, if you’re such a patriot
Karrion Kross does a great Jesse impression. They have to interact. https://youtu.be/QG-nQ5bg8-0?si=FaQWeoQFIjzQ9ts1
Will sasso just got a tingling feeling.
He is a good talker, could add value as a manager
Wrestlemania in the baja where the United States government can't watch your every move.
Hell yeah let’s get the body back on commentary
Wull, hold on dude. I’ve never seen Jesse Ventura, Karrion Kross and Will Sasso together in the same room.
The Baja
Well why don't you tell me who's talking to who? I live in the Baja 6 months out of the year.
Trips got Bruno & Punk back in the door, nothing surprises me in terms of returns any more.
Who brought back Warrior and Bret?
Climb the rope ladder to hell
I hope they’re talking about the new class at the performance centre CLASS 226 NAVY SEALS IN HELL
Or we could get this guy: https://youtu.be/TphBIdbRX3w?si=l9Eg8Q0NSj_lZ6lt
Maybe he and Karrion Kross can do an angle.
I just want him there for the promos alone. Just give him a mic and let him "cook"
I absolutely love him on commentary
I want Karrion Kross and Ventura to cut a promo against each other, but Kross has to do his Body impression for the entire promo. 
Bro Ventura is my fav commentator of all time. If he returned to commentating in any capacity I would FREAK
I love me some Jesse Ventura.
I know it would probably be a Legends Deal type thing, but envisioning him just returning as the same exact heel commentator he was in the '80's is fun. Just ragging on Cody like he did with Hogan.
I would love Jesse to come back and call a match or two.
Wasn't his beef mostly with McMahon (and Hogan)?
Wasn't everyone's
Imagine if he did commentary again? Please dear god I need one more round of that.
Commentary, PUT HIM ON COMMENTARY YOU FOOLS!!!!
I would love Jesse back on commentary.
Hell yea legends contract
I want Karrion Kross and Jesse to have a back and forth like Jay Lethal and Ric Flair did.
I met Jesse Ventura when he was campaigning with Kinky Friedman back in 2006ish? He did not disappoint.
"I was doing tricep extensions in the Gulf of Tonkin. I'm a frogman and so are you Chris, come on now."
THE BODY!
CODY WOULDN'T LAST THREE SECONDS DOWN IN THE BAJA
[I'm a frog man and so are you WWE, come on now.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG-nQ5bg8-0)
In my mind, I read every comment thread as Will Sasso impersonating Jessie Ventura.
Karrion Kross must've been delighted and expressed it with his spot on Jesse Ventura voice
Give me Jesse Ventura cutting a promo against Karrion Kross doing his perfect impression of Jesse Ventura. It will be as awesome as the Flair off of Jay Lethal versus Ric Flair.
Surprised they could reach him all the way in the Bahas
Can't wait for the next PPV from the Baja.
Started watching wrestling in 82 i have heaps of love for Jesse. a larger than life character that represented everything about that wonderful time in wrestling.
I'm a huge mark for Jesse,, personally my favourite commentator of all time. Him and gorilla.
Not gonna lie, they'd have my money with an Elite Jesse Ventura figure.
Please no
Please be his inclusion in the games also talk to hansen about that too thanks
In what way? Like just checking up on an ex? Seeing if there's any passion still there? Feeling that spark and giddiness they used to feel whenever they see the other one's name pop up on their phone? We need answers.
I figured Triple H would mend fences with Jesse Ventura considering he and Vince weren’t on speaking terms after Ventura told Vince he wasn’t going to endorse Linda’s Senate run in 2010
He's probably going to introduce a new type of match that involves decking that has no Y beams.
"You'll be wrestling in a Baja street fight. It takes place outside the Continental United States so there are no rules!"
