Career

Gary Hart (born Gary Williams) started out as a wrestler in 1960 in the Illinois and Wisconsin territories. In the late 1960's, he became a manager called "Playboy" Gary Hart.

He stayed primarily in the Texas territories and he really made a name for himself in World Class Championship Wrestling in the 1980's. He managed Nord the Barbarian, Abdullah the Butcher, Al Perez and Jeep Swenson under the stable name of "New Age Management" while there. They always feuded with the Von Erich family and the other top faces.

In 1984, Hart managed Gentleman Chris Adams, who turned heel and engaged in a major feud with Kevin and Kerry Von Erich. This feud sent Adams to the top of the wrestling world and eventually won the NWA American (later World Class title) in 1985. Away from the ring, Hart and Adams became good friends and eventual business partners.

In 1987, Hart went to the NWA's Jim Crockett Promotions where he continued to manage Al Perez but added Larry Zbysko. In 1989, he managed a group called J-Tex Corporation that included Terry Funk, Dick Slater, Buzz Sawyer, Kendo Nagasaki and The Great Muta. They feuded with Ric Flair and Sting until they disbanded in early 1990.

Hart went back to Texas and managed until 1999, when he retired. He made a surprise return in Major League Wrestling in 2004 to manage Lo Ki and Homicide, but the promotion folded and he retired again. During the 1990s, following the demise of the Global Wrestling Federation, Hart and Adams were involved in many Texas-based wrestling promotions, including an ill-fated attempt to revive World Class (billed as World Class II: The Next Generation) at the Dallas Sportatorium.

He has a son named Chad Hart that wrestles now.
