James Morris, 65, better known as “Hillbilly Jim” to the WWE community, will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame next month. Morris is originally from Scottsville, but has been living in Bowling Green since he started high school. Morris would come to WKU to train for many years before he got his start in the wrestling world. “Western has a soft spot in my heart because I think back on that journey and all these things that happened in my life, a big part of it was being able to go to WKU for all those years and train with those guys and hang out” Morris said.
