Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura in Negotiation for a WWE Legends Deal “We don’t know right now fully. They want to bring me back under their Legends deal. If you go back to WrestleMania 1, there aren’t too many of us alive anymore. It is true. Look, Roddy’s gone, Orndorff’s gone, Andre’s gone, John Studd’s gone. … Junkyard Dog’s gone. You have more gone. It goes on and on.” “I’m getting older. I’m in my 70s now. I just want to open up the door at the end of the wrestling career and see what’s still left there. And it ain’t like I’m going to go back on the mic because, I’ll be honest with you, I don’t even know who wrestles there anymore.” wabcradio.com/episode/gov-jesse-ventura-05-09-24 |

I would absolutely vote for him in the Coliseum Collection too! But, like Albano, as a first time in the line, I’d guess they would want to reach a wider audience at retail and get him in the Legends line first. I could see him getting the Ali/ Mr. T treatment, getting figs in all of their lines in short order!

We'd need him as a wrestler AND announcer. Also a predator Ventura would move the needle as far as a SDCC exclusive.

Really no desire for CC Jesse unless they take some creative liberties and make it commentator. Pretty sure the LJN tights are based off this  |

They could easily do him in commentary attire in the Legends line and wrestling attire in the CC line. Releasing him in the CC line first would be wise, since you could pair him with a non-anchor talent (Bob Orton, Hillbilly Jim, Tito Santana, Bruno Sammartino).

It’s awesome that we should hopefully soon get a Jesse figure. I always wanted a Saturday Nights Main Event 2 pack with McMahon. Obviously that will never happen now, but a 2 pack with Gorilla would be awesome as well!

We are still *at least* a year away, of course, between finalizing a potential deal, designing and producing figures. I suppose they could rush out figures into the Main Event line in a little less time, possibly.

Weirdly, I don't expect we would see as much antagonism from a Ventura rush as we've experienced from those other two names. |

Gimme wrestler Jesse & Commentator Jesse and I would be a very happy man. I would prefer both in Legends waves but Id take them anyway I could....He's a massive omission from ANY line IMHO. See could they pack him with one of the vintage belts he held...that'd be magic.

I may be able to retire my custom of him (Jakks Ventura head with Mattel Superstar Graham body). I would like a commentary version of him, too, though.
