Jesse "The Body" Ventura is considering throwing his hat into the ring for president of the United States.

The WWE Hall of Famer and former Minnesota governor told TMZ Sports he's being "pressured" by the Green Party to make a presidential run in 2020.

"The Greens have showed some interest," Ventura said. "I haven't made a decision yet 'cause it's a long time off. But if I do do it ... (Donald) Trump will not have a chance. Because for one, Trump knows wrestling. He participated in two WrestleManias. He knows he can never out-talk a wrestler, and he knows I am the greatest talker wrestling's ever had.

"So, if I go for it, he's history and he knows it."

Trump was elected into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013 as part of the celebrity division.
