Summary
Jesse Ventura stopped by 316 Gimmick Street, and this is part 1 of an incredibly interesting conversation that starts with dogs and whales, and segues into some amazing pro-wrestling stories! Jesse talks about his first-ever gimmick and first match, explains how he became "Jesse The Body Ventura," why he jumped to WCW, his love of Superstar Billy Graham, and the real reason you've never seen him (and probably never will) as a special guest at Wrestlemania! He also shares the story of his color commentary start, and explains the heat behind the controversy he created during a match with Koco B. Ware.
