My aunt wanted to pound him during his years in Memphis,she moved to join our family in California,just in time for us to catch the WWF live together,and guess who was there but ol' Chicken Lips himself.Thank God she left her loaded purse at home🎉.😂
One of my brothers asked jimmy for his autograph jimmy didn't have one and actually went back to his car gave my brother an embossed autograph wow what a great guy
Wrestlemania 3 this man should have been the highest paid performer in pro wrestling that night! Thanks Mouth of the south for your years of believable sports entertainment!
So, the man took ridiculous bumps in the Piper Adonis match then was out there for his champs and DD vs. The bulldogs and Tito then gets a python thrown on him by Jake and Alice, absolutely the unsung hero of Wrestmania 3 the ppv that put Wwf on the map.
I've always referred to Jimmy Hart as the unofficial MVP of Wrestlemania 3... He was so involved through-out the show, taking so many memorable bumps, the guy definitely earned the money he made for that show
As a 7 year old kid, the first wrestling I was exposed to was Manias 8 & 9, my older cousins that I looked up to rented them one summer when we were staying over and I was immediately awestruck. But one of my favorite angles at that age was the finish to the Hogan/Beefcake vs Money Inc. tag match where the ref got knocked out and Jimmy Hart rips off his jacket, flips it inside out to a referee black/white stripe and made the 3 count. I was 7 and obviously now it's ridiculous but then it was utterly amazing to me. But even as a 7 y/o I was sooo disappointed that Bret Hart got screwed and had to let Hogan come in and win the belt. Regardless, those are still my favorite Manias to this day. Such good memories, such amazing characters.
One of the most versatile performer WWF ever had. From being a top notch manager to producing some of the most iconic themes ever, to his knowledge and promoted his guys and the company everywhere he went and gave it his all the whole way.
Man, I would let Jimmy tell me bedtime stories every night. I hate long interviews but this man is a legend. He deserves his own A&E WWE LEGENDS biography. And it should be a 2 part episode. He knows where all the bodies are buried and everything in between. Love Jimmy Hart!
Jimmy knows the shit we want to hear! This is what wrestling interviews and podcasts should be. Not wrestlers talking about the current shit or current events and their opinions on politics. I wish a lot of these guys just understood the more old stories, the better.
Jimmy I feel your pain on waiting by the phone for that heart dropping call. When my sister finally retired I felt like the world had been lifted off my shoulders, she and her 2 beautiful girls are all the family I really have. May you receive your sons flag when he RETIRES as well my man.
I grew up at just the right time and in the right area, because every Saturday morning I'd watch Memphis Wrestling (thanks to WAVE-TV in Louisville, KY) and watch Jimmy Hart make Jerry Lawler's life miserable. Jimmy may be the most talented man who ever worked in wrestling.
This guy is amazing. So much knowledge - of course I love him advocating for health insurance but I also liked his point about the heel making a percentage of the babyface's merch sales when the heel is entrenched in a major program with said babyface, putting him over and making him look good. Probably would be a very unpopular thing but stuff like this is intriguing to consider. These types of guys need to be involved in the business today, in any capacity, but particularly as agents or bookers or even consultants helping wherever possible.
6:30 at the hotel I work at😊 last year in Winston-Salem North Carolina. He was great, he took pictures with everybody,easy to get along with, makes me wonder why I used to hate him so much when I was growing up😂😂 just let you know he was a great HEEL😂😂😂
Just a fantastic interview with the Mouth of South Jimmy Hart. I think Jimmy turns 80 in January and I want to wish him a early Happy Birthday. Number 80 is a monumental birthday. I've never seen a video or listen to the Gentry's music that I know of. Does anyone know where I can find it? I will check UA-cam later. Jimmy is one of the good guys in wrestling. I'm glad he's out living almost everybody in that dangerous profession. Did his son survive that terrible war in Iraq? I hope so.
I used to hate Jimmy growing up, just shows how good he was, didn't know about his music career until later on, seeing Jimmy when he was young doing the video, he looks like he's one of the bee gees
If Vince would have let Jimmy Hart be the Memphis Jimmy Hart… he would have needed security 24/7 and made Vince a LOT more money. Vince’s (and our) loss.
I wasn’t a fan . His best work was in Memphis as the weasely punk out to get revenge on the Hero , Jerry Lawler . But the schtick got old with me in WWE . He never had that kind of heat again . Nothing personal . Always seemed like a respectful guy outside of his gimmick .
he was so good at his job if I could have caught that man outside of the studio or the ring I would have beat the s*** out of him. I loved to hate that man. That was how good he was.
I wanted to fight this man for the first 3 yrs of his WWF days. It just shows his greatness and dedication to his profession. We love you Jimmy ❤
My aunt wanted to pound him during his years in Memphis,she moved to join our family in California,just in time for us to catch the WWF live together,and guess who was there but ol' Chicken Lips himself.Thank God she left her loaded purse at home🎉.😂
Let it go. He can't hurt you anymore.
partied with jimmy at his old bar in daytona many times . Hes great ppl irl
One of my brothers asked jimmy for his autograph jimmy didn't have one and actually went back to his car gave my brother an embossed autograph wow what a great guy
Jimmy Hart is awesome. It goes to show you that what really sells is charisma. Jimmy has it heart and soul. Way to go Jimmy!
Jimmy Hart is awesome
He managed more wrestlers than Jim Cornette. Jimmy has an excellent memory.
This man doesn’t age!!
Thanks for a great interview. He seems like a great guy
The greatest manager of all time. Love him
One of the absolute nicest guy I’ve met in pro wrestling. A true gentleman.
met him at hogan signing 100 percent class act

He did a lot of entrance music too. Super smart dude.
in 2023 Jimmy Hart has been in the wrestling business for 43 years
the mouth of the south , what a legend . Sending love and admiration your way from Canada and thanks for helping entertain us !
Out of all the wrestling interviews I've seen, this is probably the best
Jimmy looks great ! Such a fantastic guy and a real pro.
I was in a band that covered Keep on Dancing.
It always did well with the crowd
Jimmy is a living Legend. 🙏 Jimmy IS show business.

How can Jimmy not talk about the Themes for The Mountie and Fabulous Rougeaus? Two classics. His best work.
I cannot believe that he’s 80 years old!!!!
If you're going by this video he was 59 here, this was recorded in 2003.
One of the most versatile performer WWF ever had. From being a top notch manager to producing some of the most iconic themes ever, to his knowledge and promoted his guys and the company everywhere he went and gave it his all the whole way.
What a great talker and a great guy. I was watching in Blytheville Arkansas when he came in. What a Heat magnet. Very talented manager.
He is a cool guy. I met Jimmy at a fan event. He signed and handed me the megaphone for a picture
Very entertaining interview!
My favorite WWE manager.
When you bust a 10 second fart in someones face, it stops being "an accident" after the first half second.
Man, I would let Jimmy tell me bedtime stories every night. I hate long interviews but this man is a legend. He deserves his own A&E WWE LEGENDS biography. And it should be a 2 part episode. He knows where all the bodies are buried and everything in between. Love Jimmy Hart!

Shame about the opening intro, Mouth of the house lol, but Jimmy is a great story teller, very detailed and gives a great insight.

It’s an interview baby. Get him Honky! Let’s do it brother! I miss a Jimmy Hart.
Funny hearing how Honky punked Macho to his face

I love how Jimmy checked the studio audience. "Yall laugh, I don't blame you." Genius!!!
A class act, a class man, a true gentleman
Him and Jim cornette should be history shows.
Just a fantastic interview with the Mouth of South Jimmy Hart. I think Jimmy turns 80 in January and I want to wish him a early Happy Birthday. Number 80 is a monumental birthday.

*@rsb512:Check out The Gentrys self titled album on Sun records when Jimmy was the lead singer(It's on UA-cam) great 70s Rock and Roll!!*
One of the foundations of the wrestling business.The man has seen it all,done it all..RESPECT
Jimmy Hart was the manager I liked the most in 85/86
I met him very nice man at the mall doing autograph sessions.
It's a crazy business with lots of different and sometimes extreme personalities yet not a soul has ever uttered a bad word about Jimmy Hart.
Jimmy could've done this interview by himself. He's one hell of a talker Cornett a good second
My memories of him started with the Hart foundation and Honky Tonk man. He seemed like such a backstabbing Weisel.. so he did his job!
I've heard probably 150 different shoot interviews and not a single person has ever even came close to burying Jimmy Hart
You show me a man who Trask talks Jimmy Hart and I'll show you a liar
Honkytonk man did,when he discussed his time going to wcw
I love Jimmy Hart baby
Man the story behind how he went to WWF...
What a dream! 🇺🇸👍🙏
Jimmy Hart Baby!!!!!!!! Try almost 50 yrs now in wrestling!!!!!!
Jimmy is a legend
25 years? Is this an old interview cus Jimmy's been in wrestling for 40 years
43 years
This is Circa 2003.
Seen Jimmy in Corinth Mississippi a couple of times.
He seemed so happy and energetic that it was hard to accept him as a heel
1978 the Mouth of the South hit the ring!!!!! Memphis wrestling
Jimmy Hart seems like a nice guy
Come on baby!
he starting in the early 80
What year was this interview shot ?
Jimmy is the second best ever!
#living #legend
Jimmy Hart also makes appearances on Ben Mallah UA-cam channel.
Great heel heat
Year?
It's like he remind you of a Disney villain
Good look again jimmy wow ❤❤❤😂
If had it you can Have it, it's yours
Jimmy Hart is 79 for goodness sake. He's taking the same anti-aging cream as R-Truth. He looks phenomenal.
No one "accidentally" farts for ten seconds lol
I used to hate Jimmy growing up, just shows how good he was, didn't know about his music career until later on, seeing Jimmy when he was young doing the video, he looks like he's one of the bee gees
25 years ?
I would have guessed like 40 years
102:30 for literally the best story ever.
You have to remember...these people are actors. It's not who they really are.
If Vince would have let Jimmy Hart be the Memphis Jimmy Hart… he would have needed security 24/7 and made Vince a LOT more money. Vince’s (and our) loss.
Anyone know when this was shot?
Wow what a legend, he looks so young too!
Big error though. Greg Valentine didn't fight Tito Santana at Wrestlemania I. He fought the Junkyard Dog.
I know i sure hated when they lost "Butthole Billy", so Jimmy was right!
a shame the world never got to see his face run
Which year was this interview taken in?
Mouth of the house
Have u got rf shoot with roddy piper
1:02:00 funny randy and liz story
I wasn’t a fan . His best work was in Memphis as the weasely punk out to get revenge on the Hero , Jerry Lawler . But the schtick got old with me in WWE . He never had that kind of heat again . Nothing personal . Always seemed like a respectful guy outside of his gimmick .
25yrs now? How old is this interview?
im guessing early 2000s
Mack man
I knew Jimmy was great because I desperately wanted to see him get his azz kicked as a kid! 😂
he was so good at his job if I could have caught that man outside of the studio or the ring I would have beat the s*** out of him. I loved to hate that man. That was how good he was.
Why he say fuck me for babeh?
Memphis wrestling u were hated jimmy hart
Jimmy gave his wrestlers weed. I know that for a fact.
the microphone picking up mouth and throat noises make this unwatchable
