My favorite was on SNME. Mean Gene was interviewing Jake Roberts, and
Damien. Gene was scared, and his mic was shaking uncontrollbly.
Jesse then said to McMahon afterwards, "I don't know if Mean Gene was
holding a microphone, or a vibrater!". Hhahahahah. Come back Jesse!

One of my favorites is at WM6 with Monsoon just after a match between
Tito Santana and the Barbarian began. I like it so much that I made it
the message on my answering machine.

Bell Rings

Jesse : You know, if Chico would've been smart, he would've sent the
Barbarian some of that food of his. (3-4 second pause) He could've
counted on a countout then.

Monsoon : Stop
Jesse : Two minutes into the match (Monsoon : Stop!) Barbarian would
have to head out (Jesse can barely keep from cracking up).

Monsoon : that's it! That's it!

Jesse : Chico's revenge, right Gorilla???

What about Jesse's credo of life:

"Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat!"

My favorite Jesse line came from, I beleive, WCW Saturday night or Main Event
when the Nasty Boys managed by Missy Hyatt went up against a mid-level
team. Tony Schavanie (sp?) made some comment referring to the Nasties as a
"couple of big ones". Then, as the camera pans to Missy, Jesse said "speaking
of big ones, there's Missy". Silence broken only by faint laughter. Finally
still laughing, Tony said something like "Jesse, your too much" to which Jesse
responded sternly "LET'S GET BACK TO THE ACTION SCHAVANIE".

Funniest thing I have heard in my many years of watching wrestling.

You know alot of people credit Jesse with that saying, but it
was actually Ken Patera who said it first. I believe it was on

To be really technical, Dick the Bruiser was the first a long time
before Jesse and Ken.

A similar one was:

I really love to hear Jesse talk his talk, but that "win if you can.."
line was said by Ken Patera at least a dozen years ago. Someone mentioned
Fred Blassie also using this line. Heck, maybe it goes back to the carney
days of the sport.In article

Tons o' fun.

Only one problem with this. It didn't come from Jesse "The Body. " The
quote came from former Olympic Strongman Ken Patera. Jesse got it from
him. That's not the only thing claimed for Jesse. He copied the tie-dyed
shirts & style from Superstar Billy Graham.
Case Closed.

Actually, that quote was used by Buddy Rogers in the early 60's (pre-Bruno S).

My personal favorite of Jesse's is one I just heard while watching a tape
of SuperBrawl II and Beach Blast 92 (can't remember for sure which one it
was from, but I think it was SBII)

(Madusa is on screen, looking fine as usual)

"You can tell Madusa's been to the gym - her chest is bigger than ever!"

ROTFL...

The one I hear last night from Starrcade 93 beats this, IMHO.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Jesse "The Body" didn't come up with
that statement first. Jesse copied it from former Olympic Strongman
Ken Patera, just as he copied wearing the tye dyed t shirts from
Superstar Billy Graham. Look it up. In the immortal words of Sgt. Joe
Friday,...."Just The Facts".
