Definitely. I was a contra mark. I rooted for the bad guys almost all of the time. But I couldn't help liking this enjoyable tune from one of the WWF's most prominent babyfaces.
I always remembered how the announcers would lose it when he would do that sorta cartwheel. I'd love to see their (80s announcers) responses to todays insane moves.
I was there live that night! The main event was Piper vs Orndorf in a steel cage. That was also the same night that King Kong Bundy injured Hulk Hogan's ribs on Saturday Night's Main Event which started the run up to Wrestlemania 2.
Some of the words aren't entirely coherent. But after 35 years, I've decided that a "bassique" is probably bass-prepared over a barbecue grill. I'm still not clear on what happens if you go messing with a country boy. WHAT will you be biting?
Hillbilly Jim for the Super Bowl Halftime Show!
As long as he sings this number and not that ridiculous love song that he sang on the album following the first one.
OK admit it folks you miss the glory days of wwf
Tom, I’m gonna call you, Tom
Well Tom...
I do.
I miss the fuck out of them days, Tom

Congratulations to the new inductee into the WWE Hall Of Fame, Hillbilly Jim.
Anybody who doesn't tap their foot to this has no soul
Hillbilly jim should do this when he gets inducted in the hall of fame.
The cartwheel for sure
@@heythereitslouis8623 he earned it and deserves it
Wrestling was worth watching back then
Yes! Back then the WWF knew how to entertain fans even until the Stone Cold/ The Rock error but now🙄 you can forget it...
And to this very day: if you listen closely you can still hear him giving his hall of fame speech. Lol!
Ha! I miss these days.
Haha yeah so do I.
I'm wondering if the Wyatt family was inspired by hillbilly Jim and his family uncle Elmer.
That guy's not even playing a fiddle...Brutal.
🤣🤣😂😂😂
The Whole thing is pre recorded.

Wrestling With Wregret brought me here

Lmao there isn’t a working amplifier or a live mic on that entire stage
Playback Rules!!!!
The Slammy Awards are that old?
Hillbilly Jim: the original Milli Vanilli.
Why bother plugging in the microphone?
VinceMcMahon is the god of wrestling :-)
He is better as perfect, he is absolutely PERFECT in business
I want to hear Roman singing it
Hey why isn't HILLBILLY JIM IN YHE HALL OF FAME ONE OF THE BEST MIDCARD WRASTLERS OF ALL TIME HIM AND HONKEY TONK

Lob some cow shit on you.
Hill Billy Jim plus the undertaker equals bray Wyatt
James Thurston lol
That was painful
you can clearly see it's lip synch!
Rip hill Billy jim
Where was uncle Elmer
Jim never got the push he should have! Awesome guy built like a Greek god. He gimmick was legit as well. Missed opportunity
The female guitar player was Cyndi Lauper.
This, girls in cars and hulksters song
Dont messin with a zohan
How long did it take to write the lyrics
pulling a Milli Vanilli
playback
Fun fact that’s cyndi lauper playing guitar
That guy is not playing a fiddle! It's an electric guitar played with a bow. Are there any instruments actually being played up there? 😆lol
Didn't Mat Hughes used to come to the octagon to this song?
I never heard him use this as his walk out song. I always heard him come out to A Country Boy Can Survive by Hank Williams Jr.
@@Principaledpragmatist I come from New York. The way I see it those two songs are identical.
Brocks new theme
Yee hah!
Was anyone actually in the audience?
Lip Sync Battle!
Vince machon Jr the god of wrestling
Rrrr
Sounds like he's Lip-Synching.
I don't hear any live voice.
Lipsync wonder if he fluttered
lmao....
It's just playback
Now, I'm no professional. But, I don't think he was actually singing.
look for the theme itself it sounds exactly like this if he was singing it would sound abit different but sounds exactly the same
Benjo and violin sounds but somehow neither being played. Your using a bow on a guitar.
dont think hes really singing here but they did a bunch of vignettes of him playing and singing and he obviously could.
XD
I'm starting to think that wrestling might be fake
well he's a wrestler not a singer so you can't really expect him to sing or even do worth a shit at lip syncing. all for fun
Have you ever watch Tuesday night Titans he's a real singer
+Real Game Master this was also the entrance theme for the Godwin's 10 years later
+christopher coleman cause hillbilly managed them
***** yes he did until 1997 when they dumped him got rid of that theme
AEW will never
hillbilly missed his calling. lol great face wrestling ummm no but amazing singer
This is Wrestlecrap in its purest form.
Lip Syncing Like No Body's Business...Someonr go wake up The Road Dog Jesse James
Too bad McMahon hates this song.
Wtf
That fool was pretty yoked
