I don't think the interviewer was being inappropriate. Jesse just bristled a bit because he happens to very protective, maybe even too defensive, of his wife too.
@_Pauper_ Jake, being a nut case, has more to do with his family circumstances. He was just trying to drown all the demons his father created. It's a hard world to live in when just hearing your own real name brings all that trauma to the surface.
@@jonblazeinc. When Macho and Hogan became the MegaPowers I always had that thought Macho felt keep your enemies closer. Hogan did things with Elizabeth like picking her up on his shoulder and carrying her around the ring. Hulk Hogan was an opportunist!
I would wager that there is much more to that whole story. Like ..maybe skinny lil Liz liked the nose candy, just like her master. And Randy didn't want her trading for favors. I know people don't like to think past the fairy tales.. But people are people and that's how real life works.
@@meshach2806 The source of that rumor is Jerry Lawler who is basically a liar and a pedophile. Elizabeth never had anything negative to say about Savage or his treatment of her during their marriage (or her other husband Carl Lubesky). The truth is that after her second divorce she was in a relationship with wrestler Lex Luger and he had the cops called on him by her for striking her in their shared home. So as far as we know, her first two marriages, including the one to Savage were fine.
There were several times the place was going nuts and you could tell the dome rumbled even on TV. The opening match when Can-Ams won. The whole Piper match the place was going crazy. The 6 man tag when Danny davis was getting blasted. Macho man steamboat the arena came unglued. Of course the Hogan slam. It was a great Wrestlemania.

WWF 80s wrestlers..The best..RIP Junk Yard Dog, Andre the Giant, Rowdy Roddy Piper,, Macho Man Randy Savage, Mean Jean Okerland, Lou Albano..the only ones with a cartoon & it was great..sorry for any misspelled names
I was a kid living in the Bloomington, Minnesota back in the early 1980’s and I LOVED watching these guys wrestle! I met the Iron Sheik when I was 12 years old shopping in a grocery store with my mom. Saw him and knew exactly who he was. Went up and introduced myself to him and shook his hand and talked to him and he was very nice to me. It’s very cliche, but he told me to stay in school and told me I was a nice young man. Made my whole day! 😂
Good list but the mid to Late 90s and early 2000 was the best time in wrestling. By far made the Most money. Most popular. And most Legends by far. 80s second best decade but doesn’t come close to attitude era
My wife was a photo journalist in Minnesota. Her favorite experience was interviewing Jesse. He treated her with respect. They were on his bus from one stop to another.
@@jamesmcalpin2227 I’m not even a wrestling fan, but I am appreciative of Jesse Ventura. The man is incredibly intelligent and creative. He’s said a lot of stuff that’s really out there, but like most “conspiracy theories” there’s some validity to them. Some of them will have to wait and see; others have come to have legitimacy. I could listen to the man for hours as well.
Monsoon and Bobby Heenan were a great combo as well. Bobby “ Do you know it takes Hacksaw Jim Dugan an hour and half to watch 60 minutes”? Monsoon “ Will you stop it “!!!
When Jesse was doing commentary he would go crazy over things that weren’t even happening. He would see Hulk wave to a fan and say “ Did you see that!? Hulk Hogan just threw a hammer at a fan! How disrespectful is that man going to sink!” He would way over exaggerate everything and he was the best at it that ever lived. Pure entertainment at its best!
What are you talking about? Macho Man does get the credit he deserves. He's a name that everyone knows and people say amazing things about him as a wrestler and performer all the time.
I respect him especially for getting out of the ring when he did. Too many keep going when they physically can't and it destroys them, but Jesse is still going strong after all these years
Thanks Jesse for the interview was good seeing you man thank you for entertaining us all those years in wrestling and being the governor and all that too bad we didn't have more governors like you
Jess is class act dude, always liked this guy . Respect this man .He's a American Patriot. Love real old school Americans, so wise and classy .USA proud # 1 .
Jesse is a very respectable and straightforward person! Much respect for him! He not going to share anything that he may have known out of respect for others! 😊😊😊
Was Patterson gay he was the only guy backstage that didn't do sunny apart from Bret Hart he didn't have any sunny days Shawn Michaels did though and I bet Vince probably did her
Savage would have loved that compliment from Jesse, because he really did put a lot in to planning that match to nake it as perfect as he could with steamboat, they talked about it on his biography how much notes he had written about every move and step through out the match
I have no problem with the way Macho Man was treating Mrs. Elizabeth. Bc he loved her, he knew this life would take a toll on their marriage. That's why Randy Savage brought Mrs. Elizabeth with him on the road. He wanted to make sure other wrestlers wouldn't touch her. This was a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
An embodiment of a true entertainer & athlete. What a performer and interviewee. What a protector. Mucho missed, but NEVER, EVER forgotten. Randy & Elizabeth will be with us whenever we want them in our life.
Hope you're not in a relationship with a Scorpio. They're over protective to where they're controlling. Why was he over protective? Was he doing dirt himself and forcing his guilt on her? No one should be over protective. It gets to the point where it's basically controlling and suffocating. It's no wonder she wanted out.
@@younglove3362oh yes, because when you're born determines your personality. Not your parents, your upbringing or your DNA. It's definitely the date you were born. 😂🤣😂🤡🌎
I got a nice picture of Macho Man and Elizabeth walking to the ring at The Hartford Civic Center some time in the mid 80s. My mom and her friend surprised me and her friends 2 sons with that trip. Thanks Mom.❤
Between Steamboat/Flair and Steamboat/Savage I think we can see a common denominator. It's a pity in a way that Steamboat was never a heel as it would have opened up a lot more opportunities for him to compete against extraordinary wrestlers.
It was not him in any way. He was good at what he was. All big time wrestlers don't need to change face. Flair never did it. Sing never did it. The Ultimate Warrior never did it, LOD never did it, Dusty never did it and neither did perfect.
And we had the opportunity to go to this event way back when but sitting in the upper concourse at the Silverdome would be like watching it from the moon. Looking back I wished we had gone anyway. Who knew.
Agteed. That match was incredible! Steamboat said as they were both lying the ring...Randy said, "Dragon..we got em'!" Steamboat said that Randy wrote that entire match and it stole the show.
She went on to cheat on her second husband with Lex, so Randy's concern was well founded. I don't get mate guarding though, if she's not trustworthy then dump her.
@@nibsvkhExactly, Randy was known to be very paranoid, as well as having anger and control issues. The years of him treating her like his property eventually got to its breaking point. The constant cocaine and steroid use did not do him any favors.
It's a double edge sword. Everyone wants a protective person (even men). But when it gets to the point of being possessive, then you're scaring the person away. Feminism is alive and well. Women will do what they do and you can't stop them. And taking measures equals control, which will only make the matters worse and doing it faster.
One of my absolute favorite wrestlers. I actually watched that match that Jesse is talking about between Macho man and Ricky the Dragon Steamboat. It WAS a legendary match!
I have to agree with Jesse Ventura here. Even to this day that match was Dynamite. It's my favourite Matt and it made me and instant Macho Man and Ricky the Dragon Steamboat fan. Macho made me love wrestling as a kid, where everybody's allowed Hulk Hogan. I was sitting there dressing up as Macho King. Or Macho Man for Halloween
Love Jesse. Best commentator team he and Vince. I grew up watching him wrestle in the AWA. I lived in MN. The St. Paul civic center every Christmas my dad got me tickets. Jesse and Ken Patera with Heenan as their manager was the best time in pro wrestling for me. They use to call me jeffy the body.
I wasn't able to vote for him cuz I wasn't old enough yet. But I was attending the hs he graduated at the time he won the election. The school was definitely 👌 proud. Thanks to Jesse you can conceal carry and the light rail.
She's an adult. She makes her own decisions. He's not her handler. Y'all really need to stop trying to control women. They're going to do what they do. And the laws allow them to do so.

I absolutely love Jesse. Hes always made wrestling worth watching with commentary. Hes a great dude. I love watching will sasso do his voice its soo funny
As a Minnesotan I can tell you Jesse Ventura was not a particularly distinguished governor, didn't accomplish much and was hypersensitive about criticism by the media and the citizenry.
@@shadowbear66 well he's still got to be better than what we have now they won't even legalized marijuana here even though 52 percent said yes on the last election that's majority rule and Greg Abbott shot it down. and at least one of every five people here smokes , so it all comes down to one dictator say no even though the people are saying yes.
People want to say macho Man was too possessive but look what happened as soon as Liz got away from him. She jumped on lex Luger and got into the nose candy, then rest in peace.
@@younglove3362 no because you can see what happened after she left. She became a druggie and ended up the way she did. Had she left sooner It would have happened sooner. Macho admitted his biggest mistake was getting her into the business. DDP said macho told him to navigate your wife involved in the business. He said I had a wife I got her in the business now I have no wife.
She didn't go from Savage to Luger. There were 4-5 years that she was away from wrestling. She had married an attorney from Florida and converted to Judaism. Savage asked Bischoff to give her a job. I don't care what anyone says. Randy and Elizabeth still loved each other. He smothered her, and a person can only take so much.
Ricky Steamboat is one of the most overlooked wrestlers at least of my lifetime. I started watching wrestling around 84 and I was probably 11. He hit a move on somebody and it was clean and smooth. Same for him taking guy's move. Maybe if he did better promos...
@@osurpless I remember NWA/WCW putting the belt on him for a little while. I was so happy for him. I saw him press Flair over his head and I vividly remember feeling like Damn, I didn't know he had that in his bag 😁👍🏼💯

The interviewer was trying to get juicy gossip and Jesse Ventura was like nope not happening.
I don't think the interviewer was being inappropriate. Jesse just bristled a bit because he happens to very protective, maybe even too defensive, of his wife too.
Jesse was always Tell it like it is type of guy! He truly had Macho Madness!
I agree! He was looking for dirt
To this day, it’s a pretty common question interviewers ask wrestlers.
Ventura looks to me like he's not spilling the beans.
"Why not it's his wife" LOL I love how Jesse is so straight, honest, and correct.
Absolutely man and Jesse knew how some of those guys really were. Macho Man also knew and recognized other wrestlers were not his real friends.
Yeah. It's got moving parts but all men would agree that a husband's first thought is about himself but the very next thought is about his wife
Oh the "Body" ain't never play no games! He was as real as they come.
The antithesis of what you'll get with the vast majority of politicians.
Why was She his wife ?
where did they meet and what was Either of their motives .. Sex ? ..Money? fame ?

Jesse was very respectful, concise and thoughtful of his former fellow performers. He said what needed to be said, and nothing more..
He just didn't like or get along with Hulk Hogan
He was very protective because he knew how the boys were in back

I didn't say it was right but he knew other wrestlers were up to no good. He didn't want her to end up a ring rat@@younglove3362
So well put Jesse! Respect.
🗣️RIP IN PEACE , TO BOTH OF THEM . BUT , RANDY SH🟢ULD ' VE BEEN THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPI👑N MORE THAN 2 TIMES . RICKY , SH🟢ULD ' VE BEEN THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPI👑N AT LEAST ONCE .>🎤
I really like the way he talks. Clear and straight. A great storyteller.
He looks like Hulk Hogan after Kevin Sullivan shaved his mustache
Macho Man! The Best! We love you, Sir! ❤️
Big respect
Good man
I absolutely love Jesse. Hes always made wrestling worth watching with commentary. Hes a great dude. I love watching will sasso do his voice its soo funny
Awesome, a lot can be learned. Just mind your own business and worry about yourself 👍
Macho Mam & Miss Elizabeth Will Always Be The Best Couple Of All Times RIP 🪦 🪦🌹🌹
I'm a Texan and I wish we had a governor like Jesse Ventura
As a Minnesotan I can tell you Jesse Ventura was not a particularly distinguished governor, didn't accomplish much and was hypersensitive about criticism by the media and the citizenry.
@@shadowbear66 well he's still got to be better than what we have now they won't even legalized marijuana here even though 52 percent said yes on the last election that's majority rule and Greg Abbott shot it down. and at least one of every five people here smokes , so it all comes down to one dictator say no even though the people are saying yes.
This is why I love Jesse Ventura ! More people should think the way he does
If everyone would take this simple but powerful view of themselves and others we would be so much better as a Nation and society.
He lived by me in KY. Cool fella
jesse ventura..bloody legend..nuff said.
I am very proud to say that my cousin Edward graduated from the same BUDS class 58 with the Governor. So cool. 🤠👍
In the Baja
😂
Its my all time favorite as a lil one growing up 80s Luvd Ricky and Macho
People want to say macho Man was too possessive but look what happened as soon as Liz got away from him. She jumped on lex Luger and got into the nose candy, then rest in peace.
Okay, and that could be countered with she might have stayed if he wasn't so possessive.......
@@younglove3362 no because you can see what happened after she left. She became a druggie and ended up the way she did. Had she left sooner It would have happened sooner. Macho admitted his biggest mistake was getting her into the business. DDP said macho told him to navigate your wife involved in the business. He said I had a wife I got her in the business now I have no wife.
She didn't go from Savage to Luger. There were 4-5 years that she was away from wrestling. She had married an attorney from Florida and converted to Judaism. Savage asked Bischoff to give her a job. I don't care what anyone says. Randy and Elizabeth still loved each other. He smothered her, and a person can only take so much.
@@greenthumbmary5970 but then she went to Luger and became a POS druggie
Ricky Steamboat is one of the most overlooked wrestlers at least of my lifetime. I started watching wrestling around 84 and I was probably 11. He hit a move on somebody and it was clean and smooth. Same for him taking guy's move. Maybe if he did better promos...
His matches against Ric Flair were also legendary.
@@osurpless I remember NWA/WCW putting the belt on him for a little while. I was so happy for him. I saw him press Flair over his head and I vividly remember feeling like Damn, I didn't know he had that in his bag 😁👍🏼💯
I take it Elizabeth became a out of control crack / meth head after her and randy broke up ?
