If Jesse didn't have to retire, how do you think his wrestling career would've turned out in the WWF. Would we have seen a WM headlined by Ventura and Hogan, a short tile reign, a tag team with Randy Savage? What do you think?

i thinka fued with Hogan. From what i hear they couldnt stand each other. But come on, Ventura was an amzing announcer and i would much prefer him there than anyone else (aside from Monsoon)

IIRC, the night he got sick he was supposed to wrestle Hogan at MSG. Big John Studd took his place. Ventura probably would've had the same type of career as his contemporaries at the time, such as Orton Jr. and Muraco. It may have been a blessing in disguise, since he went on to commentating, acting, and politics. He may have just ended up a 50 year old doing indies for all we know if not for getting sick.
He did do a fun 6 man tag with Piper and Orton vs. Hillbilly Jim, Uncle Elmer and Cousin (Luke or Junior) after his retirement on an early Saturday Night's Main Event.
