Jesse Ventura opens up about signing with WWE
Jesse Ventura has had an intriguing relationship with WWE. He successfully sued Vince McMahon for unpaid royalties. Despite the differences in the past, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2004.
Earlier this year, Ventura inked a Legends deal with the global juggernaut. In a video shared on Substack, the veteran said he felt great about signing with the company. He pointed out how his life had gone full circle, and he was back to where it all began.
"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]
