To make it as a WWE Hall of Famer means a pro wrestler has led a legendary career. Unfortunately, this usually means that the athlete is at the end of their in-ring career. Wrestlers often start new ventures once they hang up their boots, and a certain grappler has done that in a major way but has now stepped into a new arena for a special reason.
Jesse 'The Body' Ventura officially retired from the ring in 1986, and his post-wrestling life has included political runs as Mayor of Brooklyn Park, MN, and as Governor of Minnesota, among other ventures. With Vince McMahon no longer running the company, the 2004 Hall of Famer is back on good terms with his former employer, and he's signed a Legends contract as well.
The Body and Theresa Larson Masters (Terry) have been married for just over 49 years. Ventura was known for shouting out to his wife, son, and daughter while on WWE commentary. Jesse partnered with Retro Bakery in March to launch Jesse Ventura Farms, his own brand of hemp-derived cannabis edibles. A longtime advocate of legalizing marijuana, the 73-year-old told The NY Post that he launched the new business for one reason: his wife's sickness.

"The reason being is this: My wife was stricken with seizures. Cannabis is the only thing that stopped them," Jesse Ventura said.

Ventura credited cannabis with saving his family's life, adding that it's now time for him to return the substance to the world through Jesse Ventura Farms. The father-of-two testified in favor of Minnesota's Adult-use Cannabis Bill last year and was with Governor Tim Walz when it was signed.
