10 Fascinating Facts About WWE WrestleMania III
3. Jimmy Hart Injured Himself During The Damian Sequence
Jake Roberts and Honky Tonk Man had their work cut out for them trying to follow the Savage/Steamboat all-timer, but they managed to cobble together an enjoyable midcard bout. The presence of macabre rocker Alice Cooper in Roberts' corner added some zest to the affair, and he did indeed insinuate himself into the post-match gaga.
Roberts firmly held Jimmy Hart (Honky's manager) in place while Cooper menaced Hart with Roberts' trademark python, Damian. Turns out that Hart has a legitimate fear of snakes. When Hart frantically kicks his legs in the direction of a snake-wielding Cooper, it's very real fear powering the flailing. In the course of the torment, Hart strained his neck (Roberts held him with a full nelson grip) while trying to flee the scene.
