The Body should inspire everyone just to tell it like it is.

Win if you can. Lose if you must, but always cheat.

Stopped listening to Ventura when he started talking about Illuminati.

There are conspiracies and than there is just delusion.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura is fantastic television.

And he was in one of the most awesome X-Files episodes in history! So he is a god.

What I love about a guy like Jesse is he made his mark on wrestling under his terms, but didn't out stay his welcome, but has been pretty successful outside of the biz too. Love that he beat Vince in court too.

 

[Chris]

Hardly agree with Ventura on anything politically, but agreed with most of his commentary so would have preferred that he stayed in wrestling myself, but I'll agree he has made a mark outside of it.
