WWE Hall of Famer Jesse “The Body” Ventura revealed in an interview on WABC 77 that he is currently in negotiations with WWE over a Legends deal.
Ventura told host Frank Morano that his lawyer has the WWE Legends contract in hand and they’re reviewing it, although he admitted he doesn’t fully know what his role would be at this point.
“I can only say that that’s happened because of the change of direction in the company,” Ventura said. Ventura was highly critical of Vince McMahon in the past and has not appeared on any WWE television whatsoever since 2009.
“You know, I’m an old guy now and you’ve got to have the legends. And hell, if you go back to WrestleMania I, there ain’t too many of us alive anymore,” Ventura said, mentioning Roddy Piper, Paul Ordnorff, Andre The Giant, John Studd, and Junkyard Dog who have since departed.
“The door is, you know, we’re talking right now about me having some,” Ventura continued. “I’m getting older. I mean, I’m in my 70s now. And I guess I’d just like to open up the door at the end in the wrestling career and see what’s still left there.”
Ventura did say that he’s not going to go back as an announcer for sure as he doesn’t know who wrestles there anymore.
