10 Much Loved WWE Superstars Who Ended Up Despised

8. Jesse Ventura

Jesse 'The Body' Ventura wrestled for the WWF throughout the 1980's, but is perhaps best remembered as the colour commentator for so many iconic matches of that era. He was the voice of a generation. Even though he often sided with the heels, he was still much loved. He was like the grumpy uncle who fans couldn't help but to enjoy. But nowadays, he is reviled. For one, he went into politics as the governor of Minnesota. Nobody likes a politician. He also made some critical comments about his former profession. But even worse, he questioned if 9/11 was for real. And even worse than that, he sued the American hero Chris Kyle for $1.8 million. Kyle was the basis of the 'American Sniper' film. Supposedly, Kyle decked Ventura in a bar, over comments Ventura had made about marines. But Ventura denied this and launched a lawsuit over Kyle's claims. Sadly, Kyle was shot by a madman in 2013. Meaning that Ventura has basically took over a million dollars from a widow and her children.
