Born in Windermere, England, he was a sidekick to Vince McMahon on Tuesday Night Titans, a WWF-style talk show from 1984 to 1986. Hayes became familiar to WWF viewers as a light-spoken Englishman with an uproarious laugh. On TNT, Hayes usually was the victim of several slapsticks; including getting a face-full of powder, slopped with pumpkin-innards by Captain Lou Albano, nearly bitten by one of Hillbilly Jim's goats, and slapped in the face by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. He would later become the introductory announcer on Prime Time Wrestling, on which he would give rousing and complimentary introductions to the face hosts and slightly less flattering but coolly worded intros to Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. He was once "taken hostage" from the show by Sgt Slaughter and his "Iraqi" allies. Windermere is a town in Cumbria, England, lying about one kilometre away from the lake of the same name. ...

Hayes appeared at WrestleMania in 1985 where he was kissed by The Fabulous Moolah. At WrestleMania 2, he served as commentator alongside Jesse "The Body" Ventura and Elvira for the Los Angeles portion of the event. For the Coliseum Video release of WrestleMania III, Hayes briefly appeared alongside Gorilla Monsoon in hype for the event. As the WWF's video library began to expand, Hayes became a mainstay in many of the releases; such as "Etiquette With Lord Alfred Hayes", a short segment on the WWF World Tour 1991 tape, where he attempted to teach table manners to Sensational Sherri and The Brooklyn Brawler. He later appeared on the video releases of WrestleMania VII, WrestleMania VIII and Royal Rumble 1993. He also appeared on some early episodes of Monday Night RAW. As a commentator, Hayes maintained his reserved mannerisms; though not specifically a heel, he would be quicker to give praise to heelish characters, though disapproving of underhanded methods (in one match, after being told by Gorilla Monsoon that the Hart Foundation had "broken every rule in the book," he replied with a conceding "yes, they've done that.") He would quietly absorb criticism and insults from heel commentators such as Heenan and the Honky Tonk man.
