One of the most animated personas in the history of professional wrestling, The Body had a tremendous career, during one of the most pivotal times in wrestling's history. Following his in-ring career, Jesse worked his way back in front of the TV cameras, starting with the segment known as "The Body Shop." However, things really kicked off when Ventura was paired with one of the all-time greats, Gorilla Monsoon.
Ventura and Monsoon created a very unique, yet highly effective on-screen tandem. This proved to be one of the most entertaining duos ever assembled when speaking of wrestling commentary teams.
Jesse has had a very interesting life in politics, since leaving wrestling. Despite no longer being directly connected to the industry, his legacy remains intact.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
