J.C Dykes

Jimmy "J.C" Dykes was a foppish manager better known for his work in Tennessee and in Texas, most notably where he managed the two Infernos.  Usually dressed in a tuxedo, he was a smirking, arrogant villain who never failed to provoke the anger of the fans. Sadly, he did not get much play in Arizona, barring a brief stint where Rod Fenton brought him into Tucson along with his masked pair.  The result was instant heat. People hated Dykes just by the way he strutted down the aisle. Why he was not sued more often is anyone's guess as he was certainly "over" with the people.

Dykes eventually retired to Cleveland, Tennessee, where incredibly, he took to preaching the gospel.as a minister. A fatal heart attack ended thing for him many years ago, but his legacy lives on.

Few fans realize Dykes accidentally saved the life of Din Green when he asked him to ride back to Nashville with him because he did not want to make the late night drive alone. Green agreed. Had he not done so, he would have been riding in the car with Frank Hester, Pepe Lopez and Sam Bass...which crashed and burned, killing all three men within. .

Though his Arizona run was far too brief, Dykes did much in a lengthy career to insure he would be remembered as one of wrestling's outstanding heel managers.
