Jimmy Hart is still part of the WWE family after decades in the wrestling business.
The WWE Hall of Famer appeared on 3News while promoting Wrestling Under the Stars in Avon, Ohio. During the interview, Hart revealed that he remains active with WWE and will be involved in promoting SummerSlam.
Hart also used the appearance to show off his first WWE Funko Pop. He joked that he forgot to bring the actual figure and his trademark megaphone to the studio, but he made sure the collectible was still represented on his jacket.
“You know, I have a new WWE Funko Pop that just came out, but I didn’t bring it either. I should have brought the megaphone and the Funko Pop. But you know what I did? I put it on the back of my jacket. Look at this. Can you believe this? A little self-promotion, right? WWE—it’s my first one. We’ll have those there tonight too.”
The conversation then turned to Hart’s current WWE status. The Mouth of the South said things are going well and confirmed that he is still doing work with the company.
“Everything’s been going great. I’m still doing stuff with WWE. I’ll be promoting SummerSlam this year a couple of weeks from now. It’s going to be bigger than ever, of course, with all of our superstars on it.”
Hart has built his career around promotion, energy, and making events feel bigger. Even now, he is still traveling, hyping shows, and staying connected to the fans.
“I’m still doing it. I feel like P.T. Barnum and Bailey. I’m still out pushing it, man. I’m still out rocking and rolling.”
Hart’s WWE history goes back to the 1980s. He managed several major names, including Hulk Hogan, The Hart Foundation, The Honky Tonk Man, Greg Valentine, and The Nasty Boys.
He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005. Since then, he has continued to appear at events, support promotional efforts, and represent the company in different ways.
Jimmy Hart may not be at ringside every week with his megaphone, but he is still doing what he does best. With SummerSlam coming up, WWE still has one of its most recognizable voices helping spread the word.
