Lord Alfred Hayes

  •  
Best known as the comedic foil on WWF broadcasts in the 80’s and early 90’s, Lord Alfred Hayes was actually an accomplished wrestler who carved out a solid career for himself in his native England.  Hayes would travel to the United States and won himself a handful of regional championships and would later become a brilliant heel manager.

When his in ring career came to a close he joined the WWF where he provided comic relief for Vince McMahon and company.  Hayes was not only there for his comedic skills, his air of dignity that he brought to telecasts helped raise the belief that you were watching something considered as lowbrow as wrestling.  To any 80’s wrestling fan he is remembered just as well as some of the in ring performers they saw.
