This is… weird to say the least. Before becoming Hillbilly Jim in the WWF, journeyman wrestler Jim Morris was the one and only Harley Davidson in the Memphis territory. Harley had a tag team partner who bore a resemblence to The American Dream Dusty Rhodes, and his name was Dirty Rhodes! Anyway here’s a video of the two.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

Somebody in Memphis listened to the “Footloose” soundtrack WAY too often. They also used “Let’s Hear It For The Boy” for another tag team they were trying to get over later on (look up “Funniest Wrestling Beefcake Video Ever”). Didn’t Jerry Jarrett or Lawler own other albums?! If they did, I’d be scared to know what they were. Maybe Boy Tony would be a clue?
dirty rhodes and harley davidson was a shot at harley race and dusty rohdes. lol classic memphis
@JKTube I’ve also heard that Randy Savage who was main eventing with Lawler in Memphis, was living in a one bedroom apartment with just a matress. Of course that all changed when he went to the WWF.
@DeepSouthWrestling1: That’s nothing. There’s a Bruiser Brody video on here that uses the John Parr song “Naughty Naughty.” :rolls eyes:
@landinmycourt: Yes, Lawler in Memphis drew very well for years, for one thing because pro wrestling was about the only pro “sport” there was in Tennessee for a long time, but obviously Lawler took most of the money. Jacqueline, who made her name there in the 1990s as Miss Texas, said on the “Come Get Some: The Women of the WWF” VHS release from 1999 that she was “starving” in Memphis.
@mguerra310 Read the description. Harley was Hillbilly Jim aka Jim Morris, no relation whatsoever to Nash
Is Harley Davidson Kevin Nash’s/Diesel dad? They kinda have the same resemblance, they enter the ring the same way by steping over the top rope and the big boot is the same as well…
I remember seeing Dirty Rhodes competing briefly in Stampede Wrestling in the late-’80s as Roger Rhodes. Still using the same Dusty-esque gimmick even then.
vince gave him the hillbilly jim gimmick to get him over with the fans. his memphis gimmick would have bombed up north. jim did the right thing and become a huge star.
@CadillacL randy colley was the original smash
This is an example of how humorously inept Jarrett could be sometimes… you got a tough Dusty-esque cowboy and a giant biker, so what song to you play for their video?? Why, a sugary-sweet pop song from a dance movie, of course!!! It’s a wonder someone in the organization had the sense to put a rockin’ song with the Fabs… I love that Memphis came off as unhip in situations like this…
@landinmycourt : I dunno… a lot more wrestlers who took Vince’s money are dead now as opposed to former Memphis performers…
Hillbilly Jim…I mean Harley Davidson. If Vince would have allow Jim to keep this gimmick…it would have been so cool. But know all we have is memories of Uncle Elmer’s wedding…smh…
0:47 he farted and is breezing it away.
@jimwyser
He was an Assassin too. With Randy Colley.
Dirty Rhodes name is roger smith and he is a good friend of mine. He also teamed up and was known as fire as in fire and flame.

Damn Hillbilly Jim could have been a flat out AWESOME, a “WWF Friendly” Bruiser Brody.
He would have been 50% Brody 50% Road Warriors 10% Stone Cold for a total of 110% BAD ASS.
i cant argue with that
But I’d take vinces money over Memphis money ANYDAY!!!
Wow, They should of used Harly and Dirty in wwf. This is awesome
