Jimmy Hart Wants To Manage WWE's Pretty Deadly
Jimmy Hart to manage Pretty Deadly? The Mouth of the South is keen
After several years of apathy, WWE is leaning into having managers accompany main roster talents once more, with the likes of Maxxine Dupri and Paul Heyman ever present on WWE broadcasts.
Heyman aside, WWE have had a love/hate affair with the role of managers for many years, but a face from the glory days of pro-wrestling management has his eyes on a current main roster act, with Jimmy Hart revealing to ESPN that he'd like to represent Pretty Deadly:
“Oh my God, there’s a new team that just came in with them (WWE). One of the kids got his shoulder hurt. He was formerly with NXT, and I wish I could think of their name. Deadly something right now — yeah, Pretty Deadly. I like those kids. You know why? Because they kind of remind me of my era. They talk big, they get knocked around but they’re colourful and they’re not real, real, big giant guys. I like them. I think they can really draw some big money. If I had the chance to do it again, that’s who I’d like to be with.
“Absolutely (the way they dress is a throwback) and that’s what I like about them. I remember when I was on tour with Dick Clark, people would always ask me, ‘Jimmy, you looked so colourful when you were in WWE.’ The reason why is because Dick Clark sat down with me and the Beach Boys and everybody else on our first tour and he said, ‘Look, remember this, we’re here in front of an audience. Give them their money’s worth. If you dress like the audience, one day you’re gonna wind up sitting in the audience.’ Meaning, be colourful, give the people their money’s worth. Don’t come dressed how they are,” said Hart.
Hart is no stranger to managing tag teams, with the ‘Mouth of the South’ formerly cornering the likes of The Hart Foundation and the Nasty Boys in WWE.
