10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (April 20)
8. The WWF's Jamison Was UB40's Merch Manager
Older fans will recall the nerdy antics of Jamison on Prime Time Wrestling and the short-lived Bobby Heenan Show in the 1980s. The character, played by actor John DiGiacomo, was one Vince McMahon spotted at a comedy club, and he even went on to manage The Bushwhackers for a spell.
Oh, and Jamison was once the merchandise manager for English reggae outfit UB40.
There was a lot to learn from Jamison's appearance on Sean Mooney's Prime Time podcast. He would occasionally smoke weed with Sherri Martel, his in-character performance upon meeting Heenan confused "The Brain" and Jamison drove sales for UB40 amidst their most commercially successful period in 1988.
On the heels of the hit song "Red, Red Wine", Jamison would help package the band's material and help sell it to the public. At the same time, he was sporadically appearing on WWF television as the awkward geek with the glasses and curly hair.
