Vince McMahon gave Jimmy Hart the megaphone in WWE

Jimmy Hart also revealed that it was none other than Vince McMahon himself who presented him with the megaphone in WWE. But while the megaphone was McMahon's idea, it was Hart's idea to paint it.

"Vince is the one that got me the megaphone," Jimmy Hart said. "I was carrying a cane when I was in Memphis and I went to New York, one day Vince came in and says, 'This is gonna be your new gimmick.' It wasn’t painted, of course. I said, 'Can I paint it?' He goes, 'Do whatever you want to with it.' So, that really was a great part of my career, the megaphone."
