Because a can of "Whoop Ass" needs to be opened on many people in Washington!

 

Jesse “The Body” Ventura

The most well-known wrestler turned politician is the “Sexual Tyrannosaurus” himself Jesse Ventura. Jesse’s lived the life of 10 men, rivaling that of the fictional Forrest Gump. During the Vietnam War he was a Navy Seal, then afterwards he embarked on a successful career in pro wrestling, as both a larger-than-life wrestler and color commentator. His in-ring success helped propel him into the role of action movie star in movies like Predator and The Running Man. After all that, Jesse decided to open the most dangerous chapter of his life by entering into politics.

The Minnesota native first became Mayor of Brooklyn Park, MN in 1990, after defeating the 25-year incumbent mayor. In 1998, the brash, outspoken and confident Ventura sent out bigger shock waves through Washington and the media world by running for Governor of Minnesota and winning! Running as a third party candidate under the then Reform Party, Ventura beat out Republicans and Democrats with a strong grass roots campaign that utilized that “new” piece of technology at the time: the internet.

Since his time as Governor, the smart and controversial Ventura has become a popular author with several political books under his belt and a talking news head, sharing his political views and criticisms of the established “corrupt” parties.
