Thunderfoot and the rest of those unknown wrestlers were nothing but walking punching bags. Their jobs were strictly to make guys like Jimmy Valiant look good.
funny when he is walking to the ring, the black girl gives him a go to hell look at 1:29 as he is shaking fans hands. guess she was a pez whatley fan.
Handsome was made to wrestle in the South. Those fans are the best and understand the relationship between a wrestler and the fans. The NWA was the best wrestling ever when it was with Crockett. The fans in the WWF could not understand Handsome the way the southern fans did.
Boogie Woogie was the shit back in the day. He didn't have the move set of a Kurt Angle or Bret Hart, but what he lacked in technique, he more than made up for in charisma. Fun as hell to watch a man that knows how to kick ass and enjoys doing it so much. All beginning wrestlers should be required to study a Jimmy Valiant promo.

hated the guy... looks like he smells bad... REALLY bad. Thank goodness he's handsome and a great athlete! Where can I find a clip of Pistol Pez beating the poop out of him? Thanks.
OH man I too remember Pistol Pez beating him up after he called him the best black athlete I never seen anybody go from a good guy to a heal in one sec lol. Need to find that one
Ha. I have met Jimmy Valiant and I can assure you he does not smell. But with that beard and overall appearance he had back then, I can see your point.
Great footage! I love this guy. Does anyone have the footage where the Barbarian injures his throat with an axe handle? That really upset me when I was a kid.
This is a very catchy tune and makes you want to get up and tap those toes. lol1 i have this song btw, full and complete CD Quality. it is NOT available to the public. only people with connections can get it.
The best part about Jimmy Valiant was that he'd come into the ring dance around over to his opponent, and then eye-rake them as his opening move, which I find to be absolutely hilarious.
I mean who the hell opens a match up with an eye-rake?
I used to love that. He had manay of those classic, sat morning minute and a half matches too. Throw the guy into the ropes drop him with a hit to the head pickhim up repeat finsh with the elbow drop then go give tony "shivat-O" a kiss.
@xAces11Highx Dude, that is the absolute funniest comment I've ever heard!!! I can't stop laughin, and replayed that entrance like 50 times!!! "....eye rake as an opening move",,lmao

It was such a kind & generous gesture that Jimmy dedicated that thumb to the throat to Tony Shiavone.
Maybe next time it'll be a body slam or a kick to the head.
