 After a failed comeback bid, Ventura hosted his own talk segment on the WWF's "Superstars of Wrestling" called "The Body Shop", in much the same heel style as "Piper's Pit", though the setting was a mock gym (when Ventura was unavailable, "The Body Shop" was often hosted by Don Muraco).He began to do color commentary on television for "All-Star Wrestling", replacing Angelo Mosca, and later "Superstars of Wrestling", initially alongside Vince McMahon and the semi-retired Sammartino, and then just with McMahon after Sammartino's departure from the WWF in early 1988.Ventura most notably co-hosted "Saturday Night's Main Event" with McMahon, the first six WrestleManias (five of which were alongside Gorilla Monsoon), and most of the WWF's pay-per-views at the time with Monsoon, with the lone exception for Ventura being the first SummerSlam, in which he served as the guest referee during the main event.
