10 Things You Didn’t Know About Jim Neidhart

2. Once Blew Off Jimmy Page's Request For An Autograph

Jimmy Page rose to fame as lead guitarist for Led Zeppelin. Y'know, one of music's most famous names and a towering rock juggernaut who pioneered elements of heavy metal and expertly fused them with bits of blues and folk during their heyday. Jimmy's distinctive look also makes him hard to forget.

Try telling Jim Neidhart that in the late-'80s.

Before a match in the WWF, Neidhart told RF Video he completely blanked one of rock music's biggest heroes because he didn't know who he was. There's something amazing about a rattled Page wondering why the tank-like wrestler he was requesting an autograph from for his son was palming him off and ignoring his pleas.

Neidhart was busy preparing for his match, and so he brushed off Page's autograph book and said he'd maybe catch him later. When Jim returned through the curtain afterwards, some of the wrestlers told him they couldn't believe he'd sent the rock God packing.

Poor Jimmy was left dazed and confused.
