The Jimmy Hart horse promo - One of the biggest money promos in wrestling history

[@AldenRDavis]

"Jerry Lawler is no good to me anymore. He can't make me anymore money, baby!" - Jimmy Hart

[@InTheKnow2011]

Jimmy Hart out here looking like Tony Orlando.

[@bacardilvr]

It’s like a star was born on this very day. Before this.. Jimmy was like all of Lawler’s other managers, he never talked. Hart should get waaaaay more credit for keeping Memphis interesting while Lawler was out with the broken leg. Then when Lawler came back, the Hart-Lawler feud was epic!

[@stevemtc1]

It kept me watching

[@reynaldoreyes9927]

Sunday,feb.3,1980 The day Jerry Lawler broke his leg 🦵

[@mrchopsticks3]

[@zt1053]

It makes you wonder if Jerry Lawler Jimmy hart feud for five years would have never happened if Lawler hadn’t broken his leg in real life

[@dirkdiggler6483]

The beginning of the mouth of the south

[@joeoliveira1843]

I am trying to emulate the hair of one Jimmy Hart. Once I perfect the style, oh boy! I'm gonna hit the karaoke scene!

[@robertbell6230]

Gold. Thanks for this upload.

[@kingsports1113]

I bet if Jimmy Hart didn't leave Memphis wrestling he would had reunited C with jerry Lawler by 1987

[@leonbarfield4012]

Iranian Assassin is Jack Kruger, and he's from Indiana.

[@dougcollier259]

[@southernohio3541]

[@brianspence8456]

Man Iranian assassin whooped david oswald good

[@kingsports1113]

shane stone jerry Jarrett told him to say it

[@brianspence8456]

Man Iranian assassin whooped david oswald good are there any more matches between them

[@alaskanh.o.g.4lyf948]

And the King broke Harts jaw back stage for this interview

[@sese6227]

No tf he didn't 🤣 It was well after the King recovered, his leg break took about 11 months to heal. Lawler hit Hart ,& still swears it was an accident, anyways. It definitely didn't happen backstage, Lawler wasn't even there.

[@KClouisville]

@@sese6227 He swears it was an accident but suspiciously did something similar to Paul Heyman when he reneged on taking a scaffold bump. Lawler was a helluva wrestling personality and knew the business well....but it's funny he's only a tough guy when it's managers he knew he could bully.

[@DocFarnoff]

Looking forward to more of your great clips! Should I know who The Iranian Assassin is?

[@OaktownABQ]

Doc, it looks like Jack Kruger, who was a TV jobber in the WWF in the '80s. He also got a big push when he did this Iranian gimmick in the Pacific Northwest.

[@funkyflashman]

OaktownABQ It was Kruger.

[@DocFarnoff]

Thanks guys. I don't remember him but he seems to have had some limited success. I love these Memphis clips. I couldn't see this stuff in New England as a young man.

[@brianspence8456]

[@brianspence8456]

Nightmare Fuel man the Iranian assassin whooped Oswald good

[@sese6227]

Y'all act like Jerry went look for him or something 🤣🤣 Lawler still swears it was an accident, to this day.

[@jordand5616]

PCSTU when are you going to put up one of your GRIZEAT collection of clips that tell a story of what a Program used to look like??

[@graefe827]

So was Lawler's broken leg a work or a shoot AND was this interview a work or a shoot? Didn't Lawler know Hart would say what he said?

[@ldkusa71]

Jerry "The King" Lawler really did break his leg while playing a football game at a barbecue party. Which royally ticked off the Memphis Wrestling President due to Jerry being the Heavyweight Champion at the time.

[@kingsports1113]

graefe827 Jerry Jarret was pissoff so he had to keep CV the company going with the king

[@Bestline7]

And Jimmy Hart got his jaw broken for this

[@sese6227]

Lawler still denies it tho

[@doctor721100]

I loved when the Iranian Assassin was beaten by Hulk Hogan in MSG. Hulk was crowned WWF champ that day!!!

[@waynethompson6667]

This is pretty terrible. The Assassin was terrible. David Oswald ' s selling sucked.

[@Desertson67]

Boring.
