Jimmy Valiant was one of the funniest, charismatic wrestlers that ever stepped foot in the squared circle. I never tire watching him from entrance to finish. One of the greats from the golden era right there!

@rockytheyorky It is indeed.

If you ever wondered 4 twiglets tied together with a cheap blonde wig looks like...Wonder no more.

I met Jimmy this week in Vegas, and he's all class. He is one of the most down to earth, nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. He's 69 years old and still going.

1. I love how Jimmy sells Tommy's moves like he's having an epileptic fit.
2. "Handsome" Jimmy Valiant was no more in 1988, he was "Boogie Woogie Man" now.
3. I love how a referee "calls" a no-contest. Both referees got clobbered by the competitors.
Man, I love these Indy organizations from the 80's. They just had that gritty look to them in contrast to today's glossy HD affairs.

Lawler admitted in a shoot interview that Valiant at one time was such a big draw for Memphis that him and Jerry Jarrett bought Valiant a house to get him to stay

@okrabay At a time the AWA did well (selling out arenas) in the Mid West US. And Canada. They would draw 10000 or better in Chicago, Minniapolis, Then they did the High school spot shows that would draw 2 to 3 thousand. They did very well till WWF/WWE raided talent... Then they stunk up the joint....
No one sells like Jimmy Valiant, and I think that might be a good thing. His "electrocuted by every move" leg shaking kills me.

"Boogie Woogie" was the ultimate showman! Couldn't wrestle worth a lick, but always managed to work the crowd into an absolute frenzy!
