As we reported just awhile ago, 80’S WWE legend Hillbilly Jim was announced today as the latest indcutee in the WWE Hall of Fame as a part of this year’s Wrestlemania week festivities in New Orleans. The response to the news today has been quite positive, with fans and wrestling stars acknowledging the rugged bearded competitor from Mudlick, Kentucky.

WWE Cheif Operating Officer Triple H, Smackdown’s Natalya, and WWE Network host Peter Rosenberg all posted their support for the news today.

For younger fans who are reasonably asking ‘Well, what made Hillbilly Jim special?’. Here is a flashback to WWE’s ‘Tuesday Night Titans’ show from 1985 that shows off this veteran’s infectious charisma and endearing character.
