Pro Wrestling

Born James George Janos, on July 15, 1951, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After finishing from high school in 1969, James Janos got in the U.S. Navy as well as was accepted into the elite Navy SEALs program. In 1970, Janos completed the SEALs training program and also was sent out to Vietnam.

Janos returned to Minneapolis in 1975 and also signed up in a neighborhood college, but he quit after one year. Throughout that year, he increased his weight training program and started to function seriously on his already large-- 6'4," over 200 pound-physique. A wrestling promoter identified Janos as well as provided him a job wrestling in the Central States division (at that time specialist wrestling in the United States was arranged strictly into regions). His phase character was the California surfer-type Jesse "the Body" Ventura--"bad guy" in large sunglasses and brilliant pink leggings.

Throughout Ventura's 10 years on the pro wrestling circuit, he was part of the American Wrestling Association as well as the World Wrestling Federation. Ventura reduced back on his wrestling routine, then quit entirely in 1986 when doctors uncovered he had a lung embolism.

Foray into Politics

In 1990, Ventura ended up being upset by exactly what he perceived to be an inefficient local government in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, where he was coping with his partner, Terry, and also two children, Tyrel and Jade. At Terry's urging, Ventura chose to run for mayor as an independent prospect. That November he surprised skeptics as well as scored a dismayed victory over the 18-year incumbent, coming to be mayor of Brooklyn Park. Conflict with the Democratic and Republican council participants stopped Ventura from achieving much considerable regulation, the community's crime price dropped and also citizen passion in neighborhood government expanded during his four-year term.

Ventura decided not to look for reelection and as an alternative continued his career as a commentator, this time for the WWF's rival, World Championship Wrestling. In very early 1994 he filed a claim against the WWF for $2 million, claiming they were cheating him out of videocassette royalties-- he won the instance and also was granted greater than $810,000.

He as well as his family moved from Brooklyn Park to Maple Grove, Minnesota, and Ventura started holding a number of radio talk shows.

In late 1997, Ventura decided to compete governor of Minnesota as a Reform Party candidate. His unusual platform-- pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and also pro-gun-- and somewhat unorthodox background triggered several viewers to completely reject Ventura as a major prospect. His promises to reduce tax obligations and enhance education interested Minnesota citizens, nonetheless, as well as his performances in the gubernatorial debates showcased his realistic style and also plain-spoken, "Everyman" politics.

On November 3, 1998, Jesse "The Body" Ventura was elected guv of Minnesota. As CBS news anchorman Dan Rather put it on election evening: "The people of Washington might not be more surprised if Fidel Castro came loping across the midwestern prairie on the back of a hippopotamus." As the first Reform Party prospect ever before chosen to state or government workplace, Ventura was the celebration's highest-ranking participant, as well as some fans wished he might become its next presidential candidate. In February 2000, nevertheless, let down with both the event's management and Reform presidential enthusiastic Pat Buchanan, Ventura announced he was leaving the Reform Party.

In a June 2002 meeting on Minnesota Public Radio, Ventura revealed that he would certainly not look for re-election.

Throughout Ventura's ten years on the pro wrestling circuit, he was component of the American Wrestling Association as well as the World Wrestling Federation. In 1990, Ventura ended up being disturbed by just what he regarded to be an inefficient regional federal government in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, where he was living with his partner, Terry, and 2 youngsters, Tyrel and Jade.
