The Valiant Brothers (“Luscious” Johnny & “Handsome” Jimmy)

We always found this induction a little curious.  Not because we think that they don’t belong in the Hall, but we think they may have been better off to be inducted separately as they certainly had a longer career apart than together.  Collectively, they captured the WWF World Tag Team Title in 1974 and would win other belts nationally.  Individually, Johnny Valiant would become a successful manager in the WWF; While Jimmy Valiant would adopt the “Boogie Woogie Man” name and become a popular mid card face in the NWA.  Regardless of our opinion on the matter, The Valiant Brothers made history as the first tag team inducted.
