Set your TiVo, The Body's back.

Minnesota's only professional wrestling governor, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, is returning to the ring on Monday as the host of WWE's "Monday Night Raw" on the USA Network.

Ventura has been promoting his upcoming show on TruTV called "Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura," which is scheduled to air on Dec. 2.

It's unclear if Ventura will actually be doing any wrestling during his one-night stint as host. The network announced on Monday that he will be "arranging matches, dictating stipulations and managing the entire Raw roster of WWE Superstars and Divas for the evening."

The Baltimore Sun's Kevin Eck writes that Ventura has had a rocky history with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, but they "have shown in the past that they won't hesitate to do business together if it's mutually advantageous."

Ventura recently spoke to Wrestling Daily about his decision to leave professional wrestling (factoid: "My true goal now is to become as good a surfer as I was a wrestler").

Other recent hosts of "Monday Night Raw" include Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Snoop Dogg and Al Sharpton. Monday's edition of the program is a three-hour Thanksgiving special, filmed at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pa. It starts at 7 p.m. CT.

And while I'm in the archives, here's another photo of "The Body" circa 1980.
