A partial list of some very good managers from over the years…

Paul Bearer-Undertaker, Kane
Paul Heyman/Dangerously-Brock Lesnar and many others….
Paul Ellering-Road Warriors
Jim Cornette-Midnight Express
Homer O’Dell-Rip Hawk and Swede Hanson
Gary Hart-The Great Kabuki and many others
Baby Doll-Tully Blachard
DDP started out as a manager working with Vinny Vegas(Kevin Nash) and the Dimond Studd(Scott Hall)
Sir Oliver Humperdink was an interesting manager with his House of Humperdink and his persona as ‘Big Daddy Dink’….

*****A key manager/consultant today that I find very interesting in his work on TV, Truth Martini from the HOT(House of Truth)*****

Short list and there have been many others out there over the years….

The ‘Paul Bearer’ from the old Shock Theaterd was Dick Bennick who also hosted the ‘Dialing for Dollars’ movie each morning on WGHP TV 8….

Bennick also spent some time on radio at WTOB in Winston-Salem and at WCOG in Greensboro….

I might have some more info on him, if so, I will bring it up…..

Paul Bearer from WWE, aka Willaim Moody, was really something too in his days in WCCW in Texas….Percy Pringle III was quite some character……

One of the few managers that truly added interest to the programming.

RIP (que the Undertaker “dong”).

I remember on “Shock Theatre” there was also a character that went by the name Dr. Paul Bear.

Not sure about this past Monday night, but there are talks now to get him into this year’s WWE Hall of Fame inductions set for Wrestlemania weekend…

At one time his weight had gone up to 525 pounds….He did some recent ROH interviews and one of those was with Jim Cornette…

One of the best managers ever and if for nothing else, his voice, his look and his body language….

Andy, wasn’t he just on Raw Monday night? That’s a shame.
