I wouldn't say she was the best of all time but Stacy Keibler amused me greatly when she managed Test. Dubbing his fans the Testicles? Hilarious.

I'd think Sunny should be getting mentioned if Elizabeth is. While a big part of her success can surely be attributed to doing sexy photo shoots in mainstream publications like WWF magazine in the pre-internet days, I'd say she worked harder than Elizabeth and made a bigger impact on the sport (no disrespect whatsoever intended toward Elizabeth). I respectfully disagree. Just the fact that Liz worked with her husband (who then got to work with HULK HOGAN) during wrestling's biggest boom period ensures that she would have made a bigger impact on wrestling than any other female performer. Liz and Randy certainly attained much more mainstream appeal than Sunny. She was just a prop though, with the exception of the time she tore her dress off during Mega-powers vs. Mega-bucks. She was like "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan's 2x4. Sunny worked at ringside and did promos and stuff.

A manager is supposed to help get the workers over. Elizabeth did that really well for Randy. Sunny actually got herself over more than the people she managed.

I'm going to go with Liz. If what Miss Elizabeth did was so easy, if she was just a prop, why have none of the valets that have passed through wrestling since ever been able to recreate the on screen bond that she and Savage seemed to have, or the aura of innocence and class she had through her WWF run? She added so much to Savage's character and made him seem like a real person unlike the cartoon characters that filled the company around him, that he would become without her. At her peak, she was someone who could turn others face by association, it worked for Savage, it worked for the Undertaker too, could you imagine anyone turning face saving Paul Bearer from a chairshot?
There have been a lot of valets in wrestling, a lot of real life relationships played out in front of the cameras, but only one Savage and Elizabeth.

I'd like to give a shout out to Reverend Slick. He was good at being a face manager for Kamala. It's a shame it didn't last longer. It at least made more sense than Jimmy Hart turning face at the time.

Liz was my first celebrity crush, so maybe I look at her with some sense of nostalgia. EDIT: for what she was, I do think Liz was good at being Liz.
