Jesse Ventura opens up about inking a deal with WWE
Despite his fair share of controversies with the global juggernaut, Jesse Ventura got a Hall of Fame induction in 2004.
Earlier this year, he signed a Legends deal with the wrestling promotion. Ventura posted a video on Substack, expressing his happiness regarding the same. He mentioned his life had come full circle with his return to the wrestling world.
"Hell has frozen over. I'm back in the WWE as a legend. I've gone through negotiation. We've reached an agreement. I feel very good about it. I'm 73 years old now, and my life has now gone full circle. I got my first fame and fortune in the wrestling industry. I went on to do many many other things above and beyond wrestling and outside of wrestling. Now, maybe it's only right that I come back to wrestling in the twilight of my life and finish off what I always was. A pro wrestler," Ventura said. [From 00:13 to 00:59]
