Recap Of Jimmy Valiant Interview
Posted: Apr 15th 2010 By: CMBurnham
Valiant talked about coming out of retirement for one more match on May 10th in Shawsville, Virginia where he runs his wrestling camp. Valiant's last match was 2005.
Valiant will be teaming with Ivan Koloff for the first time ever.
They are billing it "6 DECADES IN THE MAKING" as it will mark Valiant having wrestled in SIX different decades.
Would Valiant and Koloff be the only wrestlers ever to do so ?
And has Koloff even wrestled in all previous 5 decades ?
I then asked Valiant's thoughts on a few general topics and finished with a personal thought of my own.
I asked Valiant if he had been the first to use theme music consistently. I have always believed Valiant to be the first to come out with theme music with any consistency. Valiant replied he had seen Gorgeous George use theme music but only a couple times so Valiant decided to use it all the time and said he was the first to do so in that way.
Valiant said if he were at the top today, he would not use any entrance music because everyone uses it now.
Overall, nothing ground breaking or surprising and I wasn't trying to make a name for myself by trying to get him to shoot on anyone.
Just thought it would be fun to get some basic thoughts about pro wresting from one of the greats. And it was !
