#3 WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura: Politician

Jesse 'The Body' Ventura never won a championship in WWE but attained great success as a commentator. Even as a commentator, Ventura continued his villainous wrestling persona.

After leaving WWE, Ventura tried his luck in acting, but he achieved greater success in the political world. He became the Governor of Minnesota in 1998.

Since leaving office, he has remained active in politics and has consistently entertained the idea of running for the President of the United States.
