This week we lost Luscious Johnny Valiant. Underated without a doubt.
He was rough and tough, and when the mic was on, he could throw insults and one liners rapid fire!
So add Handsome Jimmy and Bobby Heenan, across from Dick The Bruiser and The Crusher,or Bruno,or Sailor Art Thomas, wow!
New York City Daddy! Yes,NYC but Sacramento, Chicago,Indianapolis loved to hate The Valiant Brothers. Theey were dirty, cheated,and got loud, and they filled the seats with fans.
Gentleman Jerry worked Canada, also was Santa Claus at the Mall during Christmas. Jimmy is still active and appears at CAC Cauliflower Alley Club.
I stay in touch with Jimmy, a longtime friend who is a Hall of Famer,no,not WWE, but Chicago Wrestling Hall of Fame. Promoter Bob Luce directed it in the SE Corner of the Chicago International Amphitheatre 42nd and Halsted Streets.
At CPW we remember!
