[@newtuber9535]

That was real from Jesse Ventura. That's what I liked and like about The Body that he'll shoot on anyone at any time. Macho Man was the best of all time in professional wrestling and Jesse The Body Ventura was one of the greatest personalities of all time!

Miss Elizabeth is so sweet, I just love her interactions with Macho Man. Their interplay is great and really rounds out Macho Man and adds so much to the fun and personality of the proceedings. He was really lucky to have her.

Everyone in the locker room got lucky to have her too, it seems

[@acemassey3618]

Interplay, seem like a battered wife talking to her abuser lol one time you can hold the belt, wait I change my mind, get outta here! I dunno, guess back then it was more accepted, just seems sketchy to put that on TV and it changed on wwf in later years.

I lived in the metro Detroit area and Maple Leaf Wrestling was broadcast on Canadian TV right across the river in Windsor. I watched this as well as Lutte International Wrestling owned by Dino Bravo and Superstars of Wrestling run by George Cannon out of Montreal as well. Never saw Stampede in my area unfortunately.

those two made a good duo.. yeah, those were the good days of wrestling.. wrestlers had interesting and amusing charactors.. much more circus like you know.. comic book like.. the way i see it, wrestling started off boring with just straight up wrestlers, then you had the good guys and bad guys, then this era where charactors went extreme, you know, you might have barbers and african tribesmen wrestling and stuff, thats fun.. then later on, it got boring again, with everyone wanting to be badboys and kool hipsters and crap.. so that middle era was the best

If Jesse had been in his prime, this tag team could have had a good run, but The Body was on his way out ( of the squared circle).

[@Dylan_Nash]

Randy "Macho Man" Savage held the Intercontinental Championship like he cherished it more than his lady. The "Magnificent" (Don) Muraco, on the other hand, dragged it like it was an anchor attached to his arm; a burden to his very existence. Both worked to strengthen the character, but only one made the title feel even more important than the WWF Championship that was "occupied" by Hulk Hogan.

[@johnjohnson-pd3qs]

lol I loved that interview. just proves Jesse dont care who he interupts. Jesse is not scared of nobody. i member watching jesse against Andre the Giant. most peope are scared of the sight of Andre but not jesse he just went over there before the bell and started attacking Andre. lol i wasnt expecting that at all. ventura was 1 guy that would make me laugh in his interviews. sorry macho man yoyr not stealing the spot light this time.
