WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Hart recently spoke with Wrestling Inc’s Managing Editor Nick Hausman on if a wrestler can get a job with any pro wrestling promotion, then that wrestler must do everything he/she can to make it work and bust their a** for that promotion.
Jimmy Hart said:
“If you can get a job with any company and that’s what you really want to do, go for it — but look, be on time, be dependable. Whatever contract you sign, don’t come back 3 weeks later – 3 months later and go, ‘Can I do this?’ Let whoever runs the company come to you and say, ‘Look, you know, you’ve really busted your you-know-what for us, we really love you and we’re going to re-do your contract and give you a raise.’ Because if they’re the ones that say it, then they really mean it and are going to put you on a rocket ship to make it work.”
Jimmy Hart also talked about how he respected and always said the right things in any company that he has ever worked for.
Jimmy Hart said:
“Whoever I’ve worked for, no matter who, whether it was Memphis Wrestling or WCW or WWF or back to WWE again — I’m like a pimple on prom night, it’s hard to get rid of me — I’ve always tried to be colorful, respect the company, dress appropriate for it, and always say the right things, but I’ve been blessed.”
Hart was inducted into three different Hall of Fames, the Memphis Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2017, the World Class Wrestling Association Hall of Fame in 2006 and the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.
