Jimmy Hart Dealing With Stolen Megaphone After WrestleCade Appearance

Wrestling icon Jimmy Hart has spent decades building his brand around loud jackets, louder energy, and of course, the loudest accessory of all – his trademark megaphone. But this weekend at WrestleCade in Winston-Salem, that famous prop suddenly went missing.

WrestleCade officials announced on Sunday that Hart’s megaphone was stolen sometime during his Saturday appearance at the convention. While the WWE Hall of Famer isn’t interested in pressing charges, he does want the item returned — no questions asked.

However, Hart’s patience isn’t unlimited. Event organizers noted that if the megaphone isn’t brought back or if the culprit doesn’t contact WrestleCade by Tuesday, the situation will officially become a police matter. The Benton Convention Center, which hosted the event, is equipped with high-definition security cameras and is already preparing to hand footage over to authorities.

The theft ended up becoming the most talked-about moment of the entire weekend, which is saying something considering WrestleCade featured a few surprises of its own — including Jushin Thunder Liger briefly coming out of retirement to squash Joey Janela during the SuperShow.

For now, Hart and WrestleCade are simply hoping the megaphone finds its way home. After all, the “Mouth of the South” just isn’t the same without it.

“Hillbilly Jim often found himself standing across the ring from nefarious Superstars managed by Jimmy Hart, but in the years since their heyday, the relationship between the two men changed. Their new dynamic will be on display when Hart inducts Hillbilly Jim into the WWE Hall of Fame during the 2018 Induction Ceremony, streaming live on WWE NetworkFriday, April 6, at 8 ET/5 PT.Hillbilly Jim arrived on the scene in WWE in late 1984 as the protégé of Hulk Hogan, which made him a prime target for Hart and his collection of evildoers. The man from Mudlick, Ky., did battle with the likes of The Honky Tonk Man, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine and Earthquake, all as “The Mouth of The South” lurked at ringside, ready to help his charges gain victory by any means necessary.

But after the two men stepped away from the ring, they grew to become close friends. Hart and Hillbilly Jim even lived under the same roof on the hit WWE Network reality show “Legends House.”
