Jimmy Hart Will Induct Hillbilly Jim Into the WWE Hall of Fame

WWE announced that Jimmy Hart will induct Hillbilly Jim into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. The ceremony will take place on Friday, April 6.

Hillbilly Jim arrived on the scene in WWE in late 1984 as the protégé of Hulk Hogan, which made him a prime target for Hart and his collection of evildoers. The man from Mudlick, Ky., did battle with the likes of The Honky Tonk Man, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine and Earthquake, all as “The Mouth of The South” lurked at ringside, ready to help his charges gain victory by any means necessary.

But after the two men stepped away from the ring, they grew to become close friends. Hart and Hillbilly Jim even lived under the same roof on the hit WWE Network reality show “Legends House.”

Previously announced:

– Molly Holly will induct Ivory
– Edge & Christian will induct the Dudley Boyz
– Paul Heyman will induct Goldberg
– The Road Dogg will induct Jeff Jarrett
