Jesse "The Body" Ventura vs Ivan Putski - Arm Wrestling

[caopicks]

nowwithmorekick - Have you ever really armwrestled, not just a bar thing? I've heard bones snap like a twig in the winter and have seen guys carry their arms off the table with their bones twisted apart. The bigger your hand, the better advantage, that and speed. Put your arm where your mouth is.

[camvantasco]

This was incredible. Jesses knew how to work an arena, baby!

[spiderfan4444]

big wrestling fan back in the day. both these guys were enormously entertaining

[Lotsoffun111]

I a real arm wrestling comp. i actually think Jesse would win, mostly cause he us alot taller, so his arm would have more leverage, and he may look alot smaller then the other guy, but thats mostly because hes alot shorter...

[nowwithmorekick]

Arm wrestling is fake.

[nawzy202]

@nowwithmorekick This armwrestling is fake

[scottysmo88]

MIND CONTROL

[Mogh]

7:15 : And so ends the 2012 presidential debate between Jesee Ventura and Barack Obama.

[chico280]

Haha I remeber this shit!

[IsolationInstigation]

Lol, I love how they always get some stick of a man to be the referee, just to make everyone look even bigger by comparison.

[Konstiin]

@IsolationInstigation Yeah, I agree. Although it works in reverse, too. I don't think he's as much of a 'stick' as he looks.

[IsolationInstigation]

@Konstiin Well, it's relative really, he's probly just average.

[brsfan66]

I can see why he became governor.Jesse for president 2012.Wall St. Arab agression,Pride and sometimes being deciteful can actually turn things around.

[lancedeemanning]

lol @ the girl @ 2:28

[lulu8332]

this is what he is gonna do to the globalist bankster`s when ha get a hold of one of them...

[LindroosJonas]

I srsly dont get this american "bold and the beautiful for men" crap... Who watches this kind of shit? I'm a fan of Jesse for other reasons but this is just terrible.

[xierotron]

putski looks like hes on steriods, id say ventura is 100% natural seen as hes a vietnam vet n doesnt look overdone

[gamewizard]

@xierotron

Putski was a professional body builder for many years in addition to being a wrestler. He's spent a lot more time in the gym than Ventura, that's why he looks more ripped.

[leroyrs]

Ha Ha - great show.

[MrOneTalent]

This is so OLD lol...

[slimydick23]

Look at those titties at 2:28

[matt2fresh84]

jesse would have been wwe champion had his carrer not been cut short due to injury i firmly believe it. he would have been right up there with hogan and slaughter

[dss103]

Wow, Ivan Puduski is some kind of gentleman -_-

[lucky44124]

damn I saw this live... wow funny how great youtube is, you can look up childhood memories and boom they are usually there

[DavidFullam]

No idea why, but Ivan Putski was a wrestler I really hated.

[indodesi]

JESSE RULES!!

[laronmaron98]

I can remember watching "The Polish Hammer" with my dad. He was a hoot to watch...and there was certainly nothing fake about his physique.

[AVPionut44USCM]

THAT WAS FAKE!!!

[signofsatan]

Putski sounds like a muscle group. I think its in the jaw.

[maliksali]

this was wrestling entertainment, not the BS we see now.

[YoureGoingDownFed]

LOL @ Ref: "What are you doing?" Ventura: "No!!!"

the only thing that's real about this is that it's real friggin awesome

[TheNYCDreams]

Wish I lived during that era; wouldn't have to buy any clothing. Could have worn a damn burlap bag and fit in with that crowd.

[BaronTurco]

This is not St Louis in 1984 as I worked there in 1984 and these guys did not. They only used great workers there and never did stupid gimmicks, unless this was from wwf, and neither of these guys could be classified as even average workers. Two bozos.

[Polarcupcheck]

LMAO when he grabbed the table.

[JENDALL714]

I remember seeing this when it first aired on Saturday morning way back when! Putski was awesome, I always liked him, he always reminded me of those ex military guys from WW2 and Korea that you would see in the 1970's that were still in good shape around 50 or 60 years old that would walk around in powder blue leisure suits!

[PolishHammer1000]

Polish Power yeah!!

[DroppinKnowledge69]

ivan putski is JACKED son!

[DroppinKnowledge69]

@ffresh1 "comment removed" even tho i already saw it. your such a pussy its unreal

[ffresh1]

@DroppinKnowledge69 -Go fuck yourself-asswipe...

[ffresh1]

@DroppinKnowledge69 --are you gay--faggott.. Only real men should be allowed on here, and you are not...

[DroppinKnowledge69]

@ffresh1 haha nice one

[fraink7]

poor guy was already going bald.Jesse thought there was a conspiracy against him-he kept pulling away.Oh,he cheated!

[millicentbistander]

The flex off is amazing.

[JP5466]

Jesse rules!

[BigBadassR]

These guys were great performers. I thought an armwrestling match with these two might be boring, it wasnt, it was hilarious. The good ol' days!

[simos901]

by reading some comments i got the impression that there are actually ppl who believe this whole thing is not staged. have to admit thats scary,lol

[SYCZ]

joe(ivan putski) is a close family friend.... he would kick venturas ass in real life... THE SPIRIT OF KRAKOW, THE POWER OF POLAND!

[tank3ful]

Jesse The Body Ventura was some entertainer!

[hawaiidispenser]

What showmanship... I love the way they had the crowd in the palm of their hands, telling a simple story of good vs evil. This time evil won.. lol But good will be back!

[peterj10880]

I have to agree Puduski did have a good build on him but come on look at him compared to Jessie. This was not an honest arm wrestling match of course all pro wrestling is not honest non the less come on Puduski defeat Jessie it was good guy defeats bad guy over the top thing, bull shit.

[magbast9]

Winner Ventura

[jvwelder28]

hilarious

[lewiske]

Kiel Auditorium, St. Louis.

[SteakHouseSteak]

THIS IS TOTAL BULL SHIT! IVAN PUDUSKI WAS OBVIOUSLY CHEATING! NO WAY THAT LITTLE CHUMP COULD TAKE JESSE ON ANY OTHER WAY! THE BODY DID THE CORRECT THING AND TOOK MATTERS INTO HIS OWN HANDS WHEN THAT IDIOT REFEREE COULDN'T DO HIS FUCKING JOB! THE ONLY THING THAT REF WAS GOOD FOR WAS CLEANING THE BODIES SUN GLASSES! TO BAD THAT REF DIDN'T GET THE CHAIR TREATMENT ALSO!

[TheAdrian1120]

Polish Power 4 ever ;D

[toy200sx]

POLISH Power.

The good ol' days of wrestling

[toy200sx]

POLISH Power.

[summerof1994]

Pefect Example of why I usually root for the bad guys, the good guys have such phony shticks the bad guys are so real and down to earth cause they dont give a fuck what the fans think....gotta respect that lol

[PaulEFine]

Classic Jesse as I remember him.

[bennyhillpervert]

I'm gonna bust you down Paduski...LOL!!!

[stefy71]

@bennyhillpervert PA-DOO-SKI!!!



[bennyhillpervert]

I'm gonna bust you down Paduski...LOL!!!

[hoagiesupreme]

Holy shit Jesse used to way 270 pounds....

[StoneyMcJuicyBuds]

Ivan Puduski LOL

[john17972]

Grabbing the table really wouldn't help you much.

[youngwerter87pg]

PUAHAHAHHAHAA FAKENESS AHAHAHA

[uplaterandy]

jeez that Putaski's a little, little dude

[Saintofkillers85]

damn i miss the 80's...

[Rustyshackleford08]

GO JESSE!

[Iriatv]

This stuff will make you a god damned sexual Tyrannosaurus, just like me

[acidglow]

Funny

[6capthowdy9]

Hundreds of whistleblowers have come forward and testified about 9/11 being an inside job, yet you have never heard of any of these people nor anything they have to say because the truth has been blacked out by the media and completely censored. Try doing a search for Sibel Edmonds, Michael Springman, Raymond McGovern, Anthony Shaffer, Kevin McPadden, I could name MANY more. Over 43 former US Counter-Terrorism experts believe there's more to the attacks than what we are told!



[amyalewine]

The crowd is much different than the crowds today. I am amazed that the older people bought into this nonsense twenty or more years ago. I am amazed that anyone older than 12 would still believe any of this is real.

[bdavis]

Guy yells "FAGOT" a couple times clearly at 1:44 <<< sure they would not air this on tv today

[breezeman199]

I like how Mcmahon says at 7:30 "right on the back of the head" when you can clearly see he is hitting him on the back, not the head, at all.

[Thecam64]

We should have made Ivan Putski governor. Am I right MN???

Thumbs up!

[BarekHalfhand]

priceless...

[mabood1212]

I totally remember this watching as a kid. I was outraged at Jesse's lack of sportsmanship.

[kpagan1970]

I remember watching this when it first was aired on TV, great stuff!

[Fania54]

I remember seeing this live when it first aired. It was vintage Jesse Ventura, and I loved it.

What Jesse did was perfectly fair, he didn't do anything wrong. That's how heels roll. Right?

[jesuschristisking01]

HE COULD NOT  EVEN ARMWRESTLE WITH OUT CHEATIN IM GLAD VENTURA GOT SOME MATURITY SINSE THEN

[jesuschristisking01]

HE COULD NOT EVEN ARMWRESTLE WITH OUT CHEATIN

[cinna71]

awesome putski

[wohodude100]

Jesse owned that round, even though he lost he still won

[rainxxxx]

this has been done before (after this time) when van hammer arm wrestled vinne vegas (diesel) same thing happned, yeah "the body" is not the name i would have chosen for jessie, although it had a good ring to it, pitty he did not live up to it (physique wise)

[weedfan]

4:37 classic!

[NWpowerhouse85]

How the fuck did he get the nickname "The Body", I can think of a dozen guys right off of the top of my head from that era(including Putski) who would've been far more suited to the name, Jesse looks like a beer swilling steroid abuser..

[ritter89]

@NWpowerhouse85 Yeah, I never understood that, either. I used to watch this shit when I was a kid and could never understand the whole "body" reference. He looked flabby, almost overweight and would wear those unitards and body suits that empathized his massive love handles. The body tag just didn't fit, imo. Back then, I actually thought it was an inside joke or a reference to something other than his body

[NWpowerhouse85]

@ritter89 Exactly!

I mean, compared to an average regular person, of course he's not "overweight", but look at Putski's definition by comparison.

And, Jesse was a big, tough customer no doubt, I simply question the moniker that he tagged himself with, had it been something like Jesse the "Badass" Ventura(or something else cheesy like that lol), he'd have gotten no complaint from me..

[Newbpwng]

fake shit

[ColtOneColt]

this is so much crap.....fucking fake

[jpwjr1199]

@ColtOneColt did you just figure this out?

[SolidMike84]

@ColtOneColt

And the intelligence level on some people seems pretty fake as well

Movies are real

[fran9860]

I WOULD ARM WRESTLE IVAN; BUT ONLY IF I COULD GET HIS NOSE FIRST.

IF HIS NOSE WAS COLD AND WET, I WOULD WRESTLE., IF HIS NOSE WAS WARM AND DRY, I WOULD DECLINE:)~!

[fran9860]

the best part of jesse ventura ran down his mother's leg after she was raped!

[AgnieszkaNar]

Ivan Putski był niesamowity ( musiał skoro był Polakiem ;) ) !

[Pokerislife7]

wow this was comedy

[furfledurfle]

At 1:44 a guy in the crowd calls Jesse a faggot twice on the mic.

[Marcosino007]

3:55 "No kurwa mać jebany bęcwale dawaj nie pierdol. "

[chileanmchoman]

Jesse Ventura is a sore loser in my personal opinion. He's not the kinda man he makes out 2 be.He can't take it and the only way he knows how 2 win is by taking short cut. This guy has no cajones what so ever.

[wohodude100]

@chileanmchoman its all an act you dumbass

[darkoanton5]

It's mayhem McMahon!

[MrJohnnyrace]

Ivan Puduski cheated !!!! Jessie The Body is our next V.P. with Ron Paul as President.

[xxTellTheTruthxx]

@MrJohnnyrace Might as well, our Govt. is a joke anyway.

[beastking55]

@MrJohnnyrace jessie the body was a joke back then and hes a joke now

[MrJohnnyrace]

@beastking55 He used to be a Navy Seal.  He is strong, or was.

[ffryan]

@MrJohnnyrace He actually was UDT, a unit that was merged with the SEAL Teams about 15 years after Ventura served.

[MrJohnnyrace]

@ffryan My thanks to him for serving.

[bitchslap666]

Great theater, right there...

[Ziomeczek360]

Today John Cena, yesterday Ivan Putski

[keeperofthecheese]

hahaha those tiny taps with the chair

[sparhawk1975]

lol

[t3rr3nc388]

I was at that show!!! psyche im playing...dont you hate when people do that on youtube...noone cares

[RoccoCombat]

I wonder if he would have become govenor if the voters had seen this?

[t3rr3nc388]

@RoccoCombat sports entertainment, dumbass

[RoccoCombat]

@t3rr3nc388 dude, chill out. i was joking.

[t3rr3nc388]

@RoccoCombat apologies...not far fetched for me to think you were serious given some of the humanoids on youtube

[williwo]

Notice how dark the arena was back then...

[macdaddy912]

bunch of slack jawed faggots around here....

[kennbry345]

@macdaddy912 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CLASSIC!!!!

[ffresh1]

@macdaddy912 --Well dickwad-you must be gay if you looking at these videos. Go eat your wifes stinky pussy..

[diveplane]

BRILL JESSE WAS GREAT

[sciencemunk]

Jesse Ventura for President

[stilleavy]

putski had the worst finishing move of all time.

[etphonehome2915]

ha ha ha this is funny like hell

[MaskedCitizen]

Ivan Putski The original Big Poppa Pump

[makintosz1992]

ivan putski the best ever wrestler there is there was and ever will be

[t3rr3nc388]

@makintosz1992 Haha Polish power, baby!

[rkevo55]

Yep...and to think, 14 years later, the man who pulled Ivan Putski over a table and hit him with a chair rather than concede defeat would soon become the Governor of the great state of Minnesota.

[TWqme]

funny stuff !!!!!!!!

[phenomenalmale1]

thats what putski gets for cheating lol

[radiAJs]

Polska górą ... 4all american's friend's Polisch Power :D

[lazarus921]

This is fucking retarded. Fucking actors but the worse thing is those monkeys watching and cheering.

[nept1974]

Ha ha ha.

[redbuick]

Dam ivan was diesel back then. even when he got older he was still in great shape and ripped. sorry jesse, ivan had ya beat on that night in power and physique. Maybe 5 years earlier in the awa he would have matched up in in physique.

[pmfnr]

So freakin' awesome! Of all the wrestling I watched as a kid, this is one of the things I remember most! And it is still as ridiculously entertaining as I remembered it!!!

One of the best things about wrestling is that it taught me the beauty of extending my arms with two thumbs down and booing something while I shake my hands. There are so many moments in life that call for this gesture.

[mrrusss]

@pmfnr

LMFAO.  Shouting "faggot" in anger is also very useful.

[Lava1964]

Putski was clearly cheating. Jesse was totally justified taking matters into his own hands and abusing the referee.

[veeseee128]

Ivan putski was benching aroung 725lbs at this time. They didit call him the polish hammer for nuthin.

[drquads]

@veeseee128 Funny, in 1984 the world record for bench press was 666 lbs set by Ted Arcidi. Ken Lane was the first to nail over 700 in a powerlifting contest.

[RevDarkehorse]

They sure are milking this for all it's worth. Lol.

[dirnrebel]

Wrestling is so predictable. LOLOL

[Poonard]

LOL! wrestling is so fuckin funny.

[Nazzafied]

I LOVED IT!!! I seen it back in the day and loved it then too. Its a shame that wrestling today doesnt have such colorful villains as "The Body" anymore...

[DontTaseMeBro77]

never saw that coming

[capitalismforever]

This is great! The reason why old school wrestling, like this, was so much more entertaining than today's wrestling is simple. In the old days we knew it was fake. But, even though we knew that, they always left us wondering what was going to happen next. Today, its so obvious that we all know what's going to happen next. They don't leave you wondering in today's wrestling. They have no timing today. Wrestling is crap today.

[CilVine]

@capitalismforever I agree with you, but you also forgot that the element of reality in this those days was a major pull. A lot of people spent a lot of time wondering whether it was real or not. Nowadays you don't have to wonder at all, the acting is worse than a no-cost C-movie and everything is so scripted you can see wwe wrestlers even struggling with their lines.

[capitalismforever]

@CilVine Everyone of an average sound mind has always known wrestling was an act of entertainment. I agree with the rest you said.

[volture666]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh yes thats when wrestling was wrestling the good ole days yeeeeesssss!!!!

[BiscuitsMcGillicuddy]

Why are you fucking dipshits talking about politics instead of the video itself? Ventura was not a politician in 1984. YOU FUCKING MORONS.

[PunKclassic]

END OF FILE ... why!?

[sciencemunk]

gangster

[countconner]

If I lived in Minnesota, this video is exactly why I would have voted for him. He fights for what he believes in!

[sstylianou]

This is too damn hilarious enjoyed every moment of it.

[Love4SK]

the polish hammer, gotta be the worst finishing move of all time.

[rememberingthedream]

top notch.. love the crowd

[greggOK1]

2:01...haha And who's "the Body" now?!

[HarPlayer]

I love this old stuff classic when the body say's he going to bust Putski down is classic and the pose down is Asome

[redtail72]

lol hes doing his conspiracy therioes, and i say he just wrestle the government

[PlayaDontHate24]

hell put the government in a chokehold...while a stone cold stunner them

[Derby14]

You could plainly see from the video how Putuski was trying to cheat...blatantly grabbing the table. And it took Jesse da body to straighten him out.

[ELUnoOner]

OMG! When Ivan got up to taunt Jessy I lost it! Good clip, I miss the good ole days. The new wrestling is still good, But that whole nostalgic feel all the way!

[THEOUTLAW78]

lmfao the body had him beat anyway he did not need to prove it so he wanted to show him he could out wrestle him as well. ivan got what he deserved anyway standing up on the body taunting him when he was ready to arm wrestle . lmfao luv the guv

[witecracker2]

wow who was that beast at the end??? LOL

What a guy,

[ramusling]

what a pathetic theater this is............

[oldschool6804]

it isn't theater jesse and ivan really hate each other that was real!

[wp4866]

ya gotta luv the guv

[Zela1990]

jeeeeeee

uuuuuu

jeeeeee

uuuuuu

jee

xD LOL haha

[ulik12345]

Ace Ventura haha

[BlistardPussy]

Just listen to that crowd..!

[suicidechickenshit]

My favorite former governor, wrestler and Navy Seal, demolitions expert, Jesse Ventura thinks 9/11 was an inside job. What do you think?

[drudogg84]

yup it sure was

[JoshLucas5]

That he is wrong.

[AlienScientist]

9/11 was absolutely an inside job... Marvin Bush was head of security at the World Trade Center before his position was taken over by John O'Neil (the FBI's foremost expert on Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden who quit his position because he was blocked from investigating the terrorists who were training at a CIA flight school in Venice FL) John O'Neil died on 9/11 his 2nd day on the job... Coincidence or Conspiracy?

[lilticklez]

@AlienScientist bulll shitttt

[AlienScientist]

@lilticklez,

Hundreds of whistleblowers have come forward and testified about 9/11 being an inside job, yet you have never heard of any of these people nor anything they have to say because the truth has been blacked out by the media and completely censored.

[callmetoro]

@lilticklez egg-xactly. alienscientist is a conspiracy theorist who sticks too disproven information and just can't face facts

@AlienScientist
