    So The Body took his biggest pay day. And used it to created a Charity organization along with a Scholarship fund for an inner city school. I researched this, it’s true. WHY does no one ever talk about that? That proves without a shadow of a doubt that The Body is an amazing human being who deserves respect.

    I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Ventura in a bar in Baja México. We were watching a live band on the beach. We talked about his early wrestling days and he said the most pain he had ever been in, the most torture, was down in the “Dungeon”, getting trained by the infamous Stu Hart in Calgary, AB, Canada. He said he had been through a lot in his life, but that place was the worst, but he said it with so much respect for Stu as he learned so much from him. He is such an interesting human. He is what the USA needs right now.

SO I just did a quick google search on Ventura/ Stu Hart/ Dungeon and there it was.... Jesse Ventura was the first to mention the infamous Stu Hart "Dungeon "publicly when he was a broadcaster for WWE. Why is this so hard for you to believe? Why wouldn't he be friends with the Hart family, he literally wrestled with Bret. By the way, I NEVER mentioned Stampede.

Sharkey then called Bob Geigel down in KC and got him booked on some shows back in the spring of 1975. I'm not saying that Ventura never visited Stu's dungeon or got some wrestling pointers from him. I've just never heard that before. Usually if you get trained by the owner of a promotion, you would more than likely wrestle for said owner for a few months before moving on to another territory. Even though you never mentioned Stampede, I'm quite certain Ventura never wrestled for Stu at any point in his career.

    Just like yesterday I remember how big WWF was. Mr. T, Cyndi Launer having Lou Albany in her video, and so many people would wait for the Sat night manias.

      @Sam Pizna seriously, that’s not a joke! And it taught us patience. No instant gratification.

    I salute this man, that is phenomenal!!!
    I was never a fan of Jesse as a Wrestler but best believe I am out of that ring.

      I loved seeing how proud he was saying that at the very end. You could tell that was a genuine smile he had when thinking about helping young kids at his former high school.
