Jimmy Hart was born in Jackson, Mississippi. He was brought into wrestling by [[Jerry Lawler|Jerry "the King" Lawler]], who knew of Hart because both had attended Memphis Treadwell High School. Having been asked to sing back-up with Lawler, Hart later became Lawler's manager. After splitting from Lawler, Hart created a stable known as the [[The First Family (professional wrestling)|First Family of Wrestling]] to attack Lawler, which among others included [[Hulk Hogan]], [[King Kong Bundy]], [[Rick Rude|"Ravishing" Rick Rude]], [[Lanny Poffo|"Leaping" Lanny Poffo]], [[Jim Neidhart|Jim "the Anvil" Neidhart]], [[Ox Baker]], [[Kamala (wrestler)|Kamala]], [[Randy Savage|"Macho Man" Randy Savage]], [[Eddie Gilbert (wrestler)|"Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert]], [[The Iron Sheik]] and [[Kevin Sullivan (wrestler)|Kevin Sullivan]].

In 1982, Hart earned national headlines doing a program with comedian and television star [[Andy Kaufman]]. Hart, Lawler and Kaufman would continue this feud for over a year. Around this time, Hart became known as "the Wimp", a nickname given to him by Lawler and chanted by fans, and was the subject of the song "Wimpbusters," which was sung by Lawler to the tune of "[[Ghostbusters (song)|Ghostbusters]]" by [[Ray Parker Jr.]]; a music video was also made featuring Lawler, announcer [[Lance Russell]], and wrestlers such as [[Randy Savage]], [[Jimmy Valiant]], [[Dutch Mantel]], [[Tommy Rich]], and [[Rufus R. Jones]], along with footage of Lawler beating Hart and his "First Family". In 1981 through 1984, Hart led [[Austin Idol]], Masao Ito, and Gilbert to NWA/AWA International titles.
