Jimmy Hart talks about his longevity.
Jimmy Hart has been in the wrestling for quite a long time, and is considered by many to be one of the most iconic managers in wrestling history. Despite being in his 80's, Hart remains a part of the wrestling industry, and has been appearing at WWE events as recently as this year.
While speaking to Justin Barrasso in a new interview, Jimmy Hart was asked about celebrating his 81st birthday earlier this year and still having a presence in wrestling.
"I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, so maybe that’s the key for me. I told CM Punk–we’re alike in that regard. I’m blessed. Everything is beautiful. I’m so grateful to still be doing something with the company whenever they call me. And the reason all this is possible is because of the wrestling fans–I never, ever forget that."
At WrestleMania 41, CM Punk's WrestleMania entrance featured a callback to an early WWE promo where he highlighted his straight edge lifestyle. You can read more about that here.
