Jesse Ventura Signs WWE Legends Contract

WWE Hall of Famer Jesse “The Body” Ventura announced on his Substack page that he recently signed an official Legends contract with WWE.

“I thought it was time that maybe I tell everybody, indeed, hell has frozen over. Yes, hell has frozen over. I’m back in the WWE as a legend. I’ve gone through negotiations, we’ve reached agreements, and I feel very good about it,” Ventura said. “You know, I’m 73 years old now and my life has now gone full-circle. I got my first fame and fortune in the wrestling industry. I went on to do many, many other things above and beyond wrestling — or outside of wrestling — after I left it. And now maybe it’s only right that I come back to wrestling in the twilight of my life and finish off with what I always was.”

Ventura also revealed that there are “bigger and better” things coming on its way for him.

“I’ll just say this: there’s even more bigger and better stuff waiting to happen,” Ventura said. “Because I’ll finish like this — let’s remember one thing, I never did get my shot at Hogan, did I?”

Prior to his signing, Ventura made a return appearance to WWE at the July 29th WWE RAW show in Minneapolis, Minnesota and had revealed earlier this year that he was in talks with the company for a Legends deal.
