You want Jesse back? Talk about it in here, but also tell WWE at the Fan Feedback section. They need to hear from you!

While I maintain that Jerry Lawler could be the old-school Heel we know and love, if he weren't being given orders by Vince McMahon to be Jerry Lawler "The Analyst" ... and Lawler could easily become the hated Heel he once was ..... I have to say that it is time to give Raw another facelift (besides a new theme song and hopefully new entrance setup) .... and bring in probably the Second greatest Color Commentator of all time, Jesse "The Body" Ventura.
For those that never saw Jesse "The Body" Ventura in his prime, you missed out on a real treat. He was truly the second greatest Color Commentator in WWE history. For those that started watching in the Attitude Era or New Generation Era, and stick up for the King ... he was good, just not as good as Jesse Ventura, though. Ventura, I dare say, was only behind the legendary Bobby "The Brain" Heenan in terms of quality of Heel commentary.
WWE is bringing in Jesse as a Guest GM next Monday, which will be a real treat. However, why bring him in for solely a one-time-gig? This man is ultra talented like none other.
He was one of the original Tweeners ... although typically leaned Heavily to the Heel side. But he often took up for great Faces like Randy Savage. However he heavily despised Hulk Hogan.
He would often take up for the Heels questionably tactics, however when a Face would try the same thing, he would be all up in arms over it.
At the same time, "The Body" truly "Told it Like it Was" when broadcasting.
Ventura filed a lawsuit against McMahon and won over royalty disputes for videos sold which featured him on commentary. So, where as there were some bad feelings, Vince has had Jesse back several times since, and it appears that the two sides have made amends. That's why I really think this is Vince's opportunity to bring in Ventura, who is actually better than Jerry Lawler was in his prime, to be the brand new Raw Color Commentator.
Through Ventura's loud mouth on the mic, he had a gift for getting talent over with the audience. And talent like that is needed these days.
My guess is that we will in the very least, see Ventura at some point on the mic this Monday, as he usually does so anytime he appears with WWE these days. So that will be great to see/hear.
But Vince should seriously consider making an offer to Jesse Ventura for this position. Ventura was doing nothing but surfing in Mexico, until an opportunity came up for him to host a new Conspiracy Theory show, which he'll be promoting on Monday. I just don't see why he couldn't be able to do both. And if his Conspiracy Theory show doesn't work out, then he can fall back on his WWE job as a Color Commentator, if that would ever come to pass.
With that being said, should Jesse "The Body" Ventura take over for Jerry Lawler as Raw Color Commentator? Why or Why not?
