Does anybody know what Jesse "The Body" Ventura is doing nowadays. IMHO he
was the best color commentator ever- or at least the best I ever saw or
heard.

So where is he, huh?

Jesse is currently has his own radio show in the Twin Cities. He was the
Mayor of Bloomington MN for a while before that.

I agree! He was the best color commentator I've SEEN: good wrestling
knowledge and a WITTY sense of humour! He and Shiavonne were GREAT on
PPV's (though the GREATEST combo would be JIM ROSS and JESSE THE BODY!

Jesse "the Body" Ventura was on a episode of the X-Files a few weeks ago.
I forget what the name of the episode was, but he was one of the "Men in Black".
He was *very* funny in the episode...well, to me anyways...the other "MiB" was...
Alex Tribeck.
Dunno what else he's done though...I have that episode on tape I think...hmmm...I'll check.

Not anymore. Due to the same reasons he's left wrestling feds,
(he wants more money, he doesn't prepare well. he has a rather
large ego) Jesse got the boot from his show.

Hey, Eric. Wanna wrap up the last good wrestling announcer?

Jesse Ventura is alive and well in Brooklyn Park Minnesota where he
retired as mayor a year and a half ago

He has a morning radio talk show on a local NBC affiliate KSTP.

And he's as gregarious as ever....

I miss him too. He had a certain attitude that none of the current
crop of talking heads come close to. I read here a while back that he
has a radio talk show somewhere in some mid-sized town. Wish he'd come
back if only for the odd show to show the others how it's done. He had
a great voice too!!!

Jesse Ventura was the host of a morning drive radio talk show in
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. However, he was fired about 1 or 2
months ago, because he apparently wasn't pulling in enough listeners.

Recently, Ventura had a role on an episode of "The X-Files". The
episode, entitled "Jose Chungs 'From Outer Space' ", featured Jesse
Ventura as one of The Men In Black, mysterious fellows who try to
dispel rumors of UFO sightings. The highlight of the episode is when
Jesse gives a backbreaker to an overweight computer geek/conspiracy
buff! Highly recommended.
