SHOW SUMMARY: This the Jan. 19, 1992 episode of the Pro Wrestling Focus radio show hosted by Wade Keller on KFAN radio in St. Paul-Minneapolis, Minn. Wade Keller interviews Jesse “The Body” Ventura in his first in-depth insider interview revealing a ton of information about behind-the-scenes happenings in the AWA and the WWF, the reasons and chronology he lost his sense of loyalty to Verne Gagne and the AWA, Vince McMahon putting Ventura’s family needs first, how he almost didn’t become a color commentator and what non-wrestling job led to his WWF TV gig that changed commentary on matches, what he thought of working Bruno Sammartino (i.e. “Replay Bruno”), why he got into wrestling originally, his thoughts on Bruno’s bitterness about the changes in the industry, whether at the time he planned to ever come out of retirement, and much more. A fascinating, live interview with Ventura revealing information he never had before.
