A country boy from Mudlick, Kentucky, Hillbilly Jim was one of the most recognizable stars of the 1980s.

A Superstar adored by fans old and young, Jim's rise as a face was definitely helped by being trained by the Immortal Hulk Hogan, years before the Hulkster would abandon the red and yellow for nWo black and white in 1996.

A fun-loving star, Jim was just as popular when he returned at WrestleMania X-Seven in 2001, impressing both the fans in the Astrodome and those watching around the world with the great shape he had maintained.

The closest Jim ever got to turning heel came years later when he managed the Godwinns during the New Generation era.

Though a heel turn was speculated on, the company never followed through, as Jim left the duo before anything could escalate.
