2.0 out of 5 stars Little More than a Quickie Money Grab by the WWF, January 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: WWF: Jesse "The Body" Ventura [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Very Disappointing. The animosity between Jesse and the WWF is well-known, so I guess it was too much to expect a tape that celebrated Jesse's exploits in the ring. But what we get is a video that focuses very little on his wrestling career (the fabled East-West Connection tag-team of Jesse and Adrian Adonis that I remember quite well from my youth gets a grand total of less than a minute of air time). The tape focuses a lot on his announcing exploits, and while these clips were generally amusing, they became redundant. The tape is pretty much ruined with way too much time being spent on interviews of Gorilla Monsoon and Classy Freddie Blassie talking about Jesse. Blassie comes off as a bitter old man, and the interview time was pretty much worthless as I thought the tape would have been better served by inserting more wrestling action and using a voice-over detailing Jesse's career to provide the narrative. All in all, Jesse is great, the tape is not. Save your money and go rent "Predator" if you need a Jesse fix.

3.0 out of 5 stars Jesse "the mind" Ventura, January 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: WWF: Jesse "The Body" Ventura [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is a great documentation of Jesse's exciting wrestling career. It includes many highlights of his matches as well as comments from his peers. The video is excellent for the hardcore wrestling fan.
