Hillbilly Jim

By Scott Keith on 19 August 2019

Were there any plans whatsoever for Hillbilly Jim when he came to the WWF? After being introduced and teaming up with Hogan, he kinda floated around, had his WM III match with Bundy and the midgets, got injured and disappeared. You would think with Vince's love for all things hillbillies he would have done something with him. Yet he is one of the most remembered 80s WWF wrestlers. Is there some feud or match I'm forgetting about?

Not really. But then Hillbilly was the kind of perfect midcard babyface that they could market to kids and beat a million times without him ever losing his heat, so they didn't need to have big plans for him. It's too bad that the broken leg really messed up his career so badly, though, because he could have milked that gimmick for decades like the Bushwackers.
