I remember PIper, Orton and Jesse Ventura in a six man tag match vs Hillbilly Jim, Uncle Elmer and Cousin Luke. I love how Piper called Uncle Elmer Humphrey the Humpback.
Pro wrestling was so much fun to watch in the 1980's because every wrestler and commentator in the WWF in those days had a personality. It didn't matter if the guy was a hero or a heal it was entertaining TV.
Roddy looks more like a Bavarian German than a Scotsman in this vid LOL! If he thought he was gonna be dressing like a hillbilly, he should have done some research first!
He had a single, not a hit single. McMahon made a whole album during the "Rock-n-Wrestling" fad. Mostly just wrestlers just "talking" lyrics but some could sing.

my name is big ass .... but peeple call me bastard! Big jim actually is manager at krogers in downtown louisville. He dont take kind to aliens , cause he thinks dey "took err jobs".
Hillbilly Jim wasn't much of a wrestler, but he definitely had charisma and he was over with the crowd. Proof of that was that the rest of the hillbillies they brought in, like Uncle Elmer and Cousin Luke, all flopped. Hillbilly Jim was definitely a star in his time and I think he deserves to be in the WWE hall of fame.
I remember the buildup for this. Jim was on for like 4-5 weeks just sitting ringside. Nice slow buildup. In later years wrestling was geared to a much shorter attention-span.
Too bad he turned the offer down--Piper might have made something of him.
hillbilly jim is a good man, he lives up tha holler from me..yeppp, he ain't no fighter though..ed snead slipshucked his wife and jim didn't do nothin...yeppp..
I loved how Piper was trying to get Hillbilly Jim to join the darkside he almost suceeded until Hulk Hogan came out and made Hillbilly an offer he couldn't refuse.
1984-2006 best era in WWF-WWE

1:53 Hillbilly Jim admits to being a backyarder!
Damn, I'd pay to see him jumping off a trampoline onto some lighttubes while Uncle Elmer held the camcorder and screamed "OH MY GOD!"

Hillbilly Jim had to sing because he couldn't wrestle for beans. Piper is a star and Jim is nothing but a loser. lol.
