Managers in Wrestling!

I have always been a fan of managers in wrestling. From the likes of Bobby Heenan, Sensational Sherri, Mr Fuji, Jimmy Hart, and many more, these figures helped groom wrestlers into superstars. On Superstars, Michael P.S. Hayes was great with his promo reasoning why managers are needed. He stated that these young wrestlers need guidance. Without a manager, some of the wrestlers during the 80s and 90s may not have had their careers elevated to such heights. Some wrestlers include Yokozuna, Haku, and the One Man Gang. Managers, in my opinion, should always have a place in wrestling. Growing up, I hated Bobby Heenan and Colonel Parker, every time I turned around they were interfering with someones match, and just when I felt one of my favorite wrestlers would become champion, there it was a cheap shot. Today, you do not see that. Vickie Guerrero is perhaps the best in the business today. Then again, she is the only serious one right? With Hayes managing Tyson Kidd, I can really see his career elevating almost immediately. Remember when Paul Heyman introduced Brock Lesnar. You knew he was a big deal.

During the late 80s and early 90s, managers such as Sensational Sherri played just as much of a role as Bobby Heenan and James E. Cornette. As wrestling went more into Sports Entertainment, female managers became more of a distraction. Women such as Debra, Sable, and Trish Stratus purpose was to distract the opponent and allow their superstar to get the victory. There was less guidance to championships. However, they still had their place. Wrestling without managers is just as crazy as a wrestling company without a championship.

Bringing in managers back in the WWE will help superstars such as John Morrison and D.H. Smith who each had great tag team careers have great singles careers. Neither are really strong on the microphone, but perhaps with a great manager, they could rise to be a great Intercontinental or United States Champion. One man who I would love to see have a manager is Ted DiBiase Jr. I think if his dad becomes his manager, he could lead him to gold, even the one title he never officially held, the WWE Championship. Even someone like Chris Masters who has the build of champion is put with a manager who perhaps is a former champion could be elevated in a manner of months.
