Jesse "The Body" Ventura vs. "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas-Part 1/3

It began with Tony Atlas being interrupted during an interview. Ventura--led by his manager "Classy" Fred Blassie--began insulting Atlas' physique. This led to a "pose down" in the ring, with the winner being determined by fan applause. When Ventura lost, he challenged Atlas to an "Arm Wrestling" match.
After their infamous "arm wrestling" match gone bad (yes, this was BEFORE the Putski/Ventura brawl), "Mr. USA" Tony Atlas got a shot at the future governor of Minnesota, Jesse "The Body" Ventura. You don't think this is the end of their fued, do you? Of course not! This was the match that led to their famous CAGE MATCH blow off a month later at the Philadelphia Spectrum! From 1982 in Phiadelphia, here is part one of this classic angle--ending in the steel cage!

No wonder the u s of a is in trouble,most of you think this shit is real,at least you got mma,that saved your ass.

[JIMMYLINE]

you mean this isn't real? Wow. I feel like the kid on Christmas morning who just learned that Santa Claus was only make believe...thanks for ruining this more me.....

AWA wrestling at its best !

[JIMMYLINE]

LOL! I appreciate and admire your comment. However, this was actually 1982 WWF, not AWA. But, Jesse's AWA stint both BEFORE and AFTER this WWF run was just as good.

Brilliant move by Ventura, he lured Atlas outside of the ring, slammed his head on the table, and got back in the ring before they were both counted out.

What a great strategist!

Ventura has a great full nelson even that bum dum Atlas couldn't break it.

@NWpowerhouse85 i love annoying americans.

[NWpowerhouse85]

@ghengisnghe No.

It didn't make sense.

You made a comment about it being fake, acting like the viewers don't know this, when in fact it's common knowledge.

I called you out on it, and your response is about non-productive global jobs lmao. No sense whatsoever.

However, I will tell you something that makes sense; talking to you is irritating my cerebral region, because not only are you dumb, you can't spell for shit. Moron.

[ghengisnghe]

@NWpowerhouse85 I beg to differ,it made lots of sense,while you americans believe that the u.s.a is the centre of the world,and you all go to work in non productive (global) jobs which pays you toy money so come the weekend you all can go watch big men tell each other "ok i'll lift you" (I've seen these wrestlers talk to each other) that is fine,i'm on the other side of the big round ball we live on and we have our shit together,hope you get laid off,arsewipe......rotfalmao.

[NWpowerhouse85]

@ghengisnghe That made no sense, however, it gives significant insight into why you looked it up in the first place----you're a douchebag lmao, later big boy ;)

[ghengisnghe]

@NWpowerhouse85 Take a chill pill power house,awww didums are you a patriotic american,you all are sinking quicker than one of my turds,how can your so called experts on the economy fuck up sooooo badly,then instead of the government removing the incompetant bankers they just give them 700 billion of toy money and say "ok boys next time be a little bit more careful" Gee i'm not so the ignorant fool.

[TheTerryE]

LOL. Ventura couldn't hold Atlas in a full nelson if his life depended on it.

[NWpowerhouse85]

@ghengisnghe There aren't ANY viewers older than 6 who think that this is real. That comment therefore makes you quite the ignorant fool.

This does beg the question though, of why you felt the need to actively search out a wrestling video just so you could post a comment. Someone has some mental issues, and too much time on their hands..

[oldschool6804]

yes it is real they hit each other very hard some of the personalities are not manufactured you're misinformed!
