WWE announced on Monday that Hillbilly Jim is the next wrestler set to enter their Hall of Fame during WrestleMania 34 weekend in New Orleans.

The story was first reported by Bleacher Report, who also interviewed the 80's wrestling star to get his initial reaction to the news.

"I didn't have that on my mind whatsoever," Jim told BR's Ryan Dilbert. "For a moment or two, I was knocked back on my heels. Basically, I was speechless. It was a whole lot for me to digest quickly."
