Ventura returns to ring, scoffs at naysayers
ST, PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Gov. Jesse Ventura defended his return to professional wrestling Tuesday, insisting he's entitled to a life outside politics.
"If I were a nightclub singer in Caesars Palace, would you ask the same question?" he asked.
Whether he will wrestle or referee is a secret for now. The sold-out event is scheduled for the Target Center in Minneapolis.
Ventura bristled when asked whether his renewed ties to the World Wrestling Federation threatened the dignity of the governor's office.
Malone's agent, Dwight Manley bought the court — baskets and all where Jordan hit his final shot for an undisclosed price. The plan is to have the floor broken up into segments and auctioned off by the man who handled the auction of Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The floor where Karl Malone dominated the paint, and Michael Jordan made history when he bid farewell is up for grabs. Part of it anyway.
The governor, who wrestled professionally as Jesse "The Body" Ventura until retiring in 1986, scheduled a news conference Wednesday with the World Wrestling Federation. He plans to participate Aug. 22 in the WWF's $29.95 pay-per-view "SummerSlam" event.
Jordan may deliver more than 'Mailman'
Even though it was the Utah Jazz home court, it was the scene of what has been called Jordan's defining moment: when the greatest player ever stab-stepped right, buckled Bryan Russell's knees, and elevated to drill a 1.7-footer with a typical Jordan flourish.
The shot clinched his sixth NBA. Six months later, he hung up his Air Jordans for good.
