In a recent interview on Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw, Jacques Rougeau, the Mountie, and former WWE star, expressed his admiration for Jimmy Hart.
Rougeau hailed the WWE Hall of Famer as the greatest manager in the entire history of professional wrestling.
“It’s one thing being a nice guy, but there’s more to Jimmy Hart than being a nice guy. Having Jimmy Hart as my manager was one of the conditions I had when coming back as The Mountie. You have great managers throughout the business, but the best manager in the wrestling business for me was always Jimmy Hart.
He performed two of the most iconic songs for us. Jimmy Hart was one of the only managers that I know that would grab the mic and always put his man over and never took credit for himself. He was always ‘let me tell you something about my man, baby’. He always put his men right in the front spotlight. Jimmy Hart would go and spend money on his jackets, and he would have the image of his talent on the jackets.
In the 10 years that I worked with him, every time I had a personal appearance, Jimmy was always on time and professional. Jimmy didn’t drink, didn’t smoke. Jimmy would come to you when you’re going on a show and see you’re nervous and say ‘Listen Jacques don’t worry about this, you’ve got this baby’. He was like a coach and a mentor. He was the most generous person I have never met. He is the best manager of all time… Jimmy Hart.”
