Wrestling Roundtable #24 2/1/09 Part 2 - Best/Worst Managers

The panel discusses the Best & Worst Managers. Was it wrong for the WWF to phase out traditional managers in favor of valets during the Attitude era? Can managers make a comeback in the current wrestling environment? Why can't someone who combines those two elements be more prominent? Do managers that commentate also have an advantage over those who don't? Is the stereotype that managers are mouthpieces always hold true? Names talked about include Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Jimmy Hart, James Mitchell, Gary Hart, Oscar from Men On A Mission, Sweet Sapphire, Slick, Joel Gertner, Bill Alphonso, Sunny, Sensational Sherri, Paul E. Dangerously, Brother Love, "Coach" John Tolos, Harvey Wippleman, Kimchee, Paul Bearer, General Adnan Al-Kassie, Mr. Fuji, Oliver Humperdink, Prince Nana, Larry Sweeney, Colonel Rob Parker, J.J. Dillon, Jim Cornette, Precious Paul Ellering, "Oklahoma" Ed Ferrara, "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase, Captain Lou Albano & more. Hosted by Eric Santamaria

If it wasn't for sable their would still be ugly woman beasts like moolah or may young. sure they were one of the greatest women wrestlers of all time, but they wasn't much to look at. If it wasn't for Sable their would be no Trish Stratus or Lita, and luna vachon would still be a premier diva

[WrestlingRoundtable]

Who would actually list Mae Young as one of the greatest women wrestlers of all time, first of all, and second, I could've lived a happier life without sitting through Trish & Lita fucking up half the match and people praising it as the standard for women's wrestling, heh. I'll take Luna over any of them any day, heh. Besides, Madusa was around long before Sable was, was a hell of a lot better wrestler, and wasn't bad looking either, so give me Alundra Blayze too, heh.

Pacman jones was pretty bad celebrity in wrestling, He had the charisma of my arse while shitting. He didn't even do one move i don't think but heck TNA are clearly retarded.

I miss the managers. I would love to see managers make a come back. They add a business sense to the sport.

@mikey101689 What about the girls pre Sable but post moolah? Alundra, Sunny, etc. Alundra Blaze is a great women wrestler and she was fucking hot. Wendy Richter too.

[Lfdjake91]

Best managers: Bobby Heenan, Jim Cornette, JJ Dillion, Capt. Lou Albano, Gary Hart.

Worst managers: Slick, Mr. Fuji, Bill Alfonzo,

Wrestling needs to bring back managers.

SLICK IS A JIVE SOUL BRO!

[jerzeefranky3475]

idk about any of u...but...i thought skandor akbar was VERY underrated...but...i think the thing that lessens his impact was/is his staying in the texas/southern territories 4 most of his career...if he were in wwf/nwa-wwe/wcw...hed prolly be top 5 easily...of maybe highter in so if hes in it already...

[WTS1377]

I think cornette should be #2. he's a hilarious hillbilly.

[kanedasrifle]

Johnny Polo!



[nateiow]

[The80srox]

@MRobert21 I thought Heyman with Brock was great. It was the real last manager/wrestler combo with an old school feel to it

[The80srox]
