Lord Alfred Hayes Heel Promo: King James Valiant

I grew up on the WWF and only knew Alfred Hayes as the clown sidekick of Vince McMahon on TNT or the sometimes heel leaning announcer at house shows. Found a tape in my basement of odds and ends from 1980 and 81 with this nice obnoxious heel promo from Hayes introducing the King James Valiant. Short but interesting and ultra rare stuff.

i love how the promotions worked together back then. It was all about developing talent and one hand washed the other.

Hayes wrestled in the Central States area (KC), he teamed with Roger-Nature Boy Kirby in the early 70's. He was a hoot and a great heal.

@MarcZERO1980 shut the fuck up. Do you realize how stupid you sound? Just shut the fuck up and watch the video you lil disrespectful piece of shit, and don't even think about replying back.

Hayes is the master of the interview, especially late 70s; we need more video of him as a heel.

Man, how I hated Lord Alfred Hayes when I was a kid. Looking back, love him so much. I had forgotten about the King James period--brilliant!

As an aside, I always buy Edge shaving gel, simply because Lord Alfred in his WWF days shilled for it. ("The first defense against razor irritation!")
