The idea of the giant Plowboy Frazier knocking himself out made me laugh harder than anything. That big country voice “hey neighbor” whack!! Out like a light lol
Heenan and slick made me laugh to much to hate them. Heenan and gorilla monsoon were the best pairing of all of wrestling. They were so entertaining together.
@@obtuse186 such that its weird af to see his eyes and him speaking like a fuckin geek still..but with a different dynamic im so programmed on Jimmy Hart being his WWF Persona that I cant picture or imagine him being any other way right before bed lol
During the late 70's the Soviet hockey team was touring North America playing the U.S. and Canadian W.H.A. teams. While In San Diego to play the Mariners they skated off the ice threatening to cancel the game due to the chicken. At that time he was sponsored by local radio station KGB and had KGB written in large letters on the front of his chicken suit. He started jumping up and down directly behind the goalie and the Russians thought their Secret Police were being ridiculed. Everything had to be explained to them in order for the game to begin. It was hilarious!
The San Diego Chicken attended the very first San Diego ComiCon, and won the coatume contest. He had to forfeit his prize money when it was discovered he was the actual Chicken.
I always liked Jimmy Hart. He often seemed too nice a guy for this business. As always, thank you, Jim, for preserving and honouring wrestling history. I will certainly try to look up some of Jimmy's work in Memphis. That handicap match sounds like the funniest shit in the world.
For Cornett to say this about Hart, considering the greatness of Cornett in said roll is amazing. Honestly, this interview shows how great Cornett really is. 💜 And I’m a middle aged lady that thinks all this is greatness. Why did we ever need soap operas? This was so much better.
I remember the San Diego Chicken thing. I saw that on tv. I used to go to Louisville Gardens on Tuesday nights and watch the shows, when I was like 5 years old.
Jimmy Hart in WWF was funny. Jimmy Hart in WWF was funny and sadistic. That was the difference. For example, the time when Jimmy mentioned that one of Gibson's parents was deaf so Jimmy was "joking" on a promo about breaking Ricky's fingers so he couldn't do sign language. WHAT THE HELL! Who even thinks like that? That Jimmy did not go north. That Jimmy had the greatest five year heel run for a manager I've ever seen. For those who defend Paul Jones as a manager saying look what he had to work with....look what flotsam and jetsam Jimmy was working with and getting over in 1980. He saved Memphis when Lawler broke his leg.
OMG I wish there was a tape of that match in Blytheville. Handicap match Coco B Ware Vs Jim Cornette & Jimmy Hart (Who, less than a week earlier, lost a match in Memphis where the loser had to wear a San Diego chicken suit for an entire week)
Henry Burris just that the cartoonish Jimmy Hart worked better in the cartoonish WWF. That’s a lot like “baby face” Hogan. Works great in WWF but was insulting to a lot of old school NWA/WCW fans. I love the Undertaker but I don’t think the zombie version of Undertaker wouldn’t work as well in WCW but is perfect for WWF.
Jimmy mentioned that Bischoff purposely cut his legs out from under him, making him dress in black, taking away his megaphone and not letting him talk. Basically Bischoff wanted to kiss Hogan's ass and he tried to get rid of Hogan's closest ally Jimmy.
Seriously, if nobody sees a TV series outta this material you're nuts. JC, you need to go BIG. All those networks out there now looking for content and this is pure gold. With all the material you have seems like a perfect marriage to me.
I’ve thought that a show about the Memphis days similar to the GLOW Netflix show would be entertaining as hell with the outlandish real shit that took place.
"I rolled Jimmy off of me and I am coughing feathers like I've been blowing big bird" LMFAO!!!!!!! OMFG I almost died.
I'd love to see this match!
I am sure one has to burrow through a lot of feathers to find Big bird’s member
@@NoirFan01
Just ask Snufelupugous
I'm coughing feathers like I been blowing big bird. Cornette is a riot.
Blytheville isn’t that bad now they have two toilets in that locker room now
The idea of the giant Plowboy Frazier knocking himself out made me laugh harder than anything. That big country voice “hey neighbor” whack!! Out like a light lol
"Neighbor, I don't think I can work tonight."
It may have been the "Butter Milk" run, but I loved you guys being there... Thanks!
Plowboy hitting his head and laying unconscious to the entrance of the locker room is fucking hilarious.
Jimmy looked like the sleaziest Miami Vice villain ever when he was young.
😂 Easily!
everybody said jimmy hart is nicest guy you could ever meet.
Its true ive met him
He is
Really nice guy. Never acts above anybody.
The horse promo on Lawler was one of the best of all time
ua-cam.com/video/FTmFzNeApbI/v-deo.html
And he wrote the nWo Wolfpac Theme too ! Just a genuine genius
*BEYOND Genius*
I love listening to this video anytime that I want to hear a good Jimmy Hart story.
Jimmy, Corny, Heenan and Capt. Lou were my favorite/most hated heel managers. Gotta throw an honorable mention in there to Slick as well and Mr. Fuji.
Heenan and slick made me laugh to much to hate them. Heenan and gorilla monsoon were the best pairing of all of wrestling. They were so entertaining together.
How about Freddie Blassie?
Heenan and Cornette and Hart were my favorite
@@damiencross7334 You could tell that Bobby and Slick loved working together. Their characters were much more alike than you realize.
jimmy hart, garry hart, jj dillon, bobby heenan, and corny were my all time favorite managers. they were superb.
What about Classy Freddie Blassie?
@@quincee3376 i think i missed most of his work. i caught him at the end of his career for a year or so ... before he retired.
@@endrsgm ok . No problem. I liked Heenan and Hart.
@@quincee3376 mouth of the south jimmy hart or gary hart? because you know ... .BOTH of them would have to be in any top 10. lol.
@@endrsgm oh shit i totally forgot about Gary Hart may he RIP. Loved him too.
Hart was soooo good in Memphis. WWF turned him into a cartoon.
Stopped mid video after reading comment to watch a Memphis promo
To be fair to Jimmy he makes for one hell of a cartoon, and still shone in the Fed.
@@obtuse186 such that its weird af to see his eyes and him speaking like a fuckin geek still..but with a different dynamic im so programmed on Jimmy Hart being his WWF Persona that I cant picture or imagine him being any other way right before bed lol
Wwf did that to a lot of people
San Diego chicken was HUGE in the 80s...for some reason.
someparts lol, yeah your right. That stupid chicken was everywhere in the early and mid 80's and I could never understand why.
During the late 70's the Soviet hockey team was touring North America playing the U.S. and Canadian W.H.A. teams. While In San Diego to play the Mariners they skated off the ice threatening to cancel the game due to the chicken.

Blowing big bird? That's funny as hell.
Jimmy Hart was the greatest manager in wrestling but if you did not see channel 5 on Saturday mornings you can never understand how great he was
It was a wonderful time for me and my brother, practicing our wrestling moves every Saturday morning.
OMG... Plowboy Frazier from Philadelphia, MS!
Also played the character Uncle Elmer! Lol
I always liked Jimmy Hart. He often seemed too nice a guy for this business.
As always, thank you, Jim, for preserving and honouring wrestling history. I will certainly try to look up some of Jimmy's work in Memphis.
That handicap match sounds like the funniest shit in the world.
Is that what they meant by “Memphis Mayhem”?
For Cornett to say this about Hart, considering the greatness of Cornett in said roll is amazing. Honestly, this interview shows how great Cornett really is. 💜
And I’m a middle aged lady that thinks all this is greatness. Why did we ever need soap operas? This was so much better.
"Corny, would you wipe my tail feathers."?
I always like Hart as much as Heenan in the mid 80s.
I remember when he was still the KGB chicken, a local radio mascot working Padre games. He really blew up... seven grand!?! Wow.
I remember the San Diego Chicken thing. I saw that on tv. I used to go to Louisville Gardens on Tuesday nights and watch the shows, when I was like 5 years old.
Hart was managing Heel Lawler most of 1979 as well as his big 80-85 run
This is the funniest friggn corny story ever!!! Lmfao !!!
Jimmy was apart a classic wrestling tour that visited troops in Iraq when I was over there, he is a really stand up guy.
this may be one of the greatest stories
And they call Koko the Birdman...
He wrote some of the most over song entrances of the 80's and was always enjoyable.
I was there Monday mid south colloseum
Did Jim look like he had just blown Big Bird?
Jimmy Hart saved my life more than once.

Handicap match
Coco B Ware
Vs
Jim Cornette
&
Jimmy Hart
(Who, less than a week earlier, lost a match in Memphis where the loser had to wear a San Diego chicken suit for an entire week)
I love Jimmy Hart and I loved WCW but Jimmy in WCW didn’t work.
Why do you say that?
Henry Burris just that the cartoonish Jimmy Hart worked better in the cartoonish WWF. That’s a lot like “baby face” Hogan. Works great in WWF but was insulting to a lot of old school NWA/WCW fans.

I get what you saying

WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

The Mouth of the South...we loved to hate him
WOW! Cornette saying nice things about somebody? Just kidding, people love Jimmy Hart 😁
Thought that was Barry Gibb in the pic.
Fucking funny as hell!!!
I don't know Coco wasn't up there laughing his ass off
Gary Hart is the best manager who ever lived. Bar none.
Slick
Ok Jimmy lay off Blytheville that’s my hometown. Jimmy Hart was a star in Memphis
IMHO, the best managers of all time are Bobby Heenan, Jimmy Hart, J J Dillon and Jim Cornette. Honorable Mention to Playboy Gary Hart.
LMAO! 🤣😂
You had to be their to understand Jimmy Hart.
Pooh Poooooh!!!!
Memphis was so bushleague
Jimmy is Memphis fool
