Unless they're fighting underwater, a mountain-style champ can wipe their ASS with a Navy Seal OR a bodybuilder! They can wrestle bears, wolves, knock down trees, you name it!
Funny how when you're a untalented, trashtalking, egotistical roid monkey from Minnesota, you suddenly develop "blood clots" in your lungs after arriving to the pinnacle of your career, then make a name for yourself by spiting the most over wrestler in history out of personal jealousy and go on to become a governor, and still never make a fraction of what your nemesis made. I'm sure Gorilla Monsoon's laughing at his sorry ass from wrestling heaven even now. Great job, Navy SEALS!
@postalmeter Oh boy. K, first of all: Jesse did take steroids. "Spiting", in other words to spite someone, is not "spitting" on someone genius. And in case you haven't figured out who Ventura spited more than anybody, I'll let you in on it: he wears red and yellow and drops his leg on his opponents. And that particular wrestler made more money in one month than Jesse did for playing Blaine, Captain Freedom, and who could forget his Oscar-worthy role as a security guard in Batman Forever.
Jesse spited Hogan because Hogan was a FINK AND WHORE who SOLD OUTJesse and other wrestlers to keep them from organizing and forming a Union; he basically shilled them out to Vince like a fucking JUDAS.
So you defend traitors and whores, your PARENTS must be both.
@postalmeter Wow. The legendary "wrestlers' union" story. No actually my parents were hard workers and could actually put two sentences together without putting themselves over at the same time. Jesse Ventura is a worthless piece of shit who left his home state in worse shape than it was before he was "elected". At least Arnold had some legit competition in the California race. But hey, they're two peas in a pod. Agent Orange my ass. He could shoot an action movie but not wrestle 2 minutes. Sure
What some of you don't realize is that Roddy Piper created many hatred to himself in real life from WWF; eventhough, this is only staged entertainment (Uncle Elmer, Big Jim and Cousin Jr. were also in on this), people were threatening to kill Roddy in real life...
Myself included, but, being a man of God, I never have the nerve to do such thing!
That would've been awesome if Cowboy Bob Orton had shown up at his Hall of Fame induction with his "broken" arm :) That poor man must have some weak arm bones :p
His name was Larry Kean. He was a journeyman wrestler in the territory days and worked as a Moondog in Memphis in the early 1990's. He died a couple of years ago
Roddy Piper's promo's were like Ric Flair's "broomstick rule" that states that Ric could carry a broomstick to a 3+star match.
The Hillbillies were the very antithisis of being over. Roddy and Jesse took them, grabbed them, and dragged them kicking and screaming and MADE them over.
When Jesse came down into the Pit that was one of the classic moments of WWF history. He really put his money where his mouth was. One of the most colourful commentators ever. I was there at this event when it went down...the fans erupted when Jesse made his way down.
lol, That was my favorite part too @ Jesse taking off the headset and heading down to the ring. There will NEVER be another Jesse Ventura. I miss the goodol days of wrestling. DAMN I wish it would return.
lanny lived around the town i live in. he was a really good dood. i use to go over to his house when i was young and watch wrestling videos with him haha. him and my dad use to party a little bit
cousin junior was here in neigboring really small town signing autographs at at pizza joint just a few years ago. i didnt even know he was in there. i just happened to stop in for food and he started up a conversation with me. really nice guy. he was sitting there with a stack or pictures ready to go for autographs and nobody was in the place. pretty depressing.
yea, Jr was on his way to wrestlemania or some other big ppv and he told the limo driver to take him to get some cocaine,,, and well he never made it back, thats straight from cousing juniors mouth,,,
Junior was very much in demand in the Indies, however, and he got to use the song "Country Boy" as his entrance-theme.
The problem was that they never, to my knowledge, promoted them on on the fact that hilbillies are known for being very good wrestlers who use special "mountain-style" wrestling moves unseen almost anywhere else.
Hillbilly Jim, for example, simply said that he did some wrestling "around the house," not that he was a local champion like the Beverly Hillbillies etc.
This lead up to a tag team match up. They had a helluva a match on Saturday Night's Main event. It was Piper, the Body, and Ace against Hillbilly, Uncle Elmer, and Cousin Luke.
This was the episode/morning I officially started my wrestling craze as a kid.

No shit, he really mastered the "Monkey Island" art of combat-- i.e. it's not what you DO in fights that counts, but what you SAY to PWN them!
Like against Hogan: "I might have to rip that walrus-mustache right off his face!"
Or Shawn Michaels: "You think you're replacing ME? I didn't need to wear CROTCHLESS LEATHER PANTIES!"
Piper had a PWN-shop!

Er, Jesse NEVER had a steroid-body. Jese was never much of a wrestler, and he made MUCH more than Monsoon in movies like Predator and Running Man etc.
Likewise, you don't join the Navy Seals to get RICH, you do it to SERVE YOUR COUNTRY ASSHOLE!
As for spitting, that was the charcter BLAINE in "Predator," he did NOT chew tobacco or spit otherwise-- that was TERRY FUNK's gimmick!
As for bloodclots, ever heard of AGENT ORANGE and other chemicals, dumbass? Like in VIETNAM?

Almost immediately after this match ended Elmer shouted to Cousin Junior to come over and stomp on Jesse's hat which was fairly amusing to see.
