Jesse Ventura talks potential WWE return.

Ventura went on to have a successful career in politics and acting but returned to WWE in 1999 and has made sporadic appearances over the last 25 years.
Speaking on The Vanguard, Ventura revealed that he's in talks with WWE now that there is a new direction with Vince McMahon resigning after allegations in a lawsuit of sexual assault.
"I will tell you this, now that wrestling has chosen this new direction, shall we call it. Jesse Ventura is in talks with them. It required them going in this new direction. I hope you get what I'm saying about the new direction. The direction the company is now going was good enough for Jesse Ventura and the WWE to begin talking again," he said.
It is unknown if or when Ventura will return to WWE.
He has not been on WWE television since 2009.
