i agree,all the great managers had the knack of making people believe that a certain talent was something special face or heel,
bob backland as an example..and manager had the talent to make you want to a see a heel get beat up and right now,no current talent has the gift of gab like we had in the Attitude Era
where the wrestler evolved into their own spokesperson (i mean it’s a natural progression)to problem now is every talent thinks that they have to the gift of gab….and a lot of them DON’T…and Managment in wrestling are not seeing that…and they need to do something about it…

Amen, Brother. As an old school fan myself, I grew up watching greats like Scandar Akbar, Percy Pringle, Paul Jones, and one of the funniest of all time, Jim Coronett (hope I spelled that right). In those days, people took wrestling deadly serious. And on more than one occasion, came across the police barracade to inflict justice on the corrupt manager when he cheated. I miss that kind of passion.

“What do you think i’m going to go out with the rest of you Ham and Eggers” That was Bobby Hennan at his best. I had the good fourtune of watching Bobby here in Chicago. He was working with Bob Luce. The Crusher used to call him the Weasel. His quit wit is something that the fans had never seen. In the early 70’s he slapped Pepper Gomez acrossed the face and called him a dumb Mexican….I was on the on the floor in stiches!!! It was a interview before there upcomming match at the Chicago Amplitheater. With that stunt they sold out the Arena. Gomez won the Mexican Strap Match. But Booby put on a great show. Booby, Ric Flair, Roddy Pipper, Randy Savage, Hulkster, and Jesse Ventura all benifited big payday’s with Booby in the picture. I miss him.

Wrestling is not how it use to be. I’m trying to enjoy wrestling shows now days. Well I enjoy watching TNA but not so much of the WWE. Mangers should be brought back to the WWE and they just need to do something different with there product. It’s just the samething week after week.

I was thinking about the old wwf managers just the other day. It would be great if wwe went back to the old manager ways in some way. Managers with a few stars (Creating new stables, and pushing much needed new talent)together again would be great tv just like back in the day.
