Jimmy Valiant's Career Highlights and Partnerships: Jimmy Valiant, known as "The Boogie Woogie Man," recounted his wrestling career, including his early days with the Valiant Brothers alongside John L. Sullivan, managed by Bobby Heenan. Their notable run began in the 1970s in the WWA territory before moving to WWWF (now WWE), where they achieved significant success, including winning the tag team titles.
Valiant Brothers' Impact and Success: The Valiant Brothers were highly influential in professional wrestling, particularly in the WWWF, where they held the tag team titles for over 15 months. Their feud with notable teams and wrestlers like Tony Garea, Dean Ho, and Bruno Sammartino brought them main event status in major venues like Madison Square Garden.
Transition and Further Career Developments: Jimmy Valiant discussed the transition from WWWF to other wrestling territories, including Georgia Championship Wrestling and later, Roy Shire’s promotion in San Francisco. His evolution into "The Boogie Woogie Man" character came after teaming up with Greg Valentine and later reinventing himself in Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling under the guidance of Ole Anderson.
In-ring Challenges and Memorable Matches: Valiant highlighted key matches, such as their bouts against Bruno Sammartino and Chief Jay Strongbow, and the eventual loss of the tag titles to Dominic DeNucci and Victor Rivera. He also recounted his experience wrestling as "Charlie Brown" from "Outta Town" at the first Starrcade event in 1983, where he won the Mid-Atlantic TV title against The Great Kabuki.
Legacy and Ongoing Contributions: Jimmy Valiant has left a lasting legacy in wrestling, including his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. He continues to contribute to the wrestling community through his Boogie's Wrestling Camp and Hall of Fame Museum, offering free access to the public and sharing his extensive career and experiences through his autobiography and public appearances.
