Jimmy Hart Details Who He’d Want To Work With If He Returned to WWE

In an interview with ComicBook.com, Jimmy Hart spoke about a possible return to WWE and who he would like to work with if he did come back. Hart last appeared on WWE TV last year, coming to the ring with Hulk Hogan. Here are highlights:

On a possible return to WWE: “If I had a choice, if Triple H came to me and said, ‘Jimmy, we got, Paul Ellering just came back, we want to bring you back for a while.’ I said, ‘Okay, great. I’m in.’ I would take Austin Theory, I love him. I think he’s got a lot of possibilities. Pretty Deadly, the tag team Pretty Deadly. I’d love to be with those guys. And so I think the ladies, Piper Niven, I’d like to be with Piper. I’m telling you right now, she’s got the look, she’s got the size. She could do so many great things in the ring, and I think she’s that close to being maybe a World Champion, but she’d be great. I’d like to be by her side. Because I had the glamour girls at one time, remember Judy, Lonnie Kahn, and Judy Martin.”

On using the megaphone: “We won so many matches with the megaphones. Now I’m not saying I had anything to do with it. Some of the wrestlers were clumsy and fell into it, knocked themselves out, and we got the pin in the end, but like I said, you have a chance to throw it in and do stuff with it, probably take it away from me and use it yourself, but I’m excited.”

On how the megaphone became part of his act: “The megaphone has been such a big part of my career. When I was in Memphis with Andy Kaufman and Lawler and everybody, I used to have a cane down there. I used to use it at ring, but when I went to New York, Mr. Fuji had the cane. So I couldn’t do that against Mr. Fuji, you know where that would’ve wound up. So what happened is I have the megaphone and I was able to paint it, make it, if I had the Heart foundation, it was pink and black. If it was with Hulk, I had red and yellow. And of course with the Jimmy Hart stuff, I just made it generic with the mouth of the south on it and all the hearts and stuff. But it’s been a major part of my career. It really has.”
