Hi Jim, You are right. I did forget about good old Hillbilly Jim and Mr. USA Tony Atlas. As for Jesse the Body by the 1980's he was primarily a commintator rather than a wrestler. In fact, the only time I recall seeing Jesse actually wrestle was at the ritchfield Coliseum against Hulk Hogan.
At the time if you remember correctly everytime Hogan would get into the ring against an aponent Jesse, as the onscreen heel commintator, would always have something bad to say about Hogan. Eventually, this bad mouthing lead Jesse to make a comment about if he could get to wrestle Hogan he'd kick his butt and he'd be the heavy weight champion instead of Hogan. This story eventually lead Hogan to accepting Jesse's challenge and throughout the summer of 1986 there was this sort of fude between Hogan and Jesse which the Hulkster won of course. So, yeah, I guess I could add him to the roster although he wasn't very active throughout the 1980's as a wrestler do to, what I understand, some injuries sustained in Vietnam and his doctors put him on medical leave so the WWF got him a job as ring commintator. As for the managers even though I didn't list them they'll all be there. Not just Jimmy Hart, Bobby Henan, but I plan to make a comprehensive list of them. Including the adorable Cindi Lopper who managed Wendi Richter during the WWF's Rock and Wrestling marketing campaign. Now, that's definitely a blast from the past. I don't know if many people remember this but around 85, 86, and 87 the WWF had its own Saturday morning cartoon called Hulk Hogan's Rock and Wrestling. It was a stupid cartoon, but I loved it as a kid. Basically, it had all the lead faces of the WWF like Hulk Hogan, Wendi Richter, Junkyard Dog, Superfly Jimmy Snuka, etc formed up as a super secret super hero team. Aposing them were some of the top heels like the Iron Sheik, Nicolai Volkoff, the Fabulous Moolah, lead by Roddy Piper as they try to make crooked deals and do whatever bad guys do. The shows usually ended with the faces whipping the heels butts inside the square ring. Very strange cartoon, but it apparently sold WWF tickets as I was someone who was initially introduced to wrestling through the cartoon, action figures, and then began watching WWF Prime Time wrestling because I wanted to see the real people instead of just their cartoon personas.
