we know about heyman guys
it wouldn't be too hard to think up some heenan guys
i could easily come up with some slick brothers
and fuji guys would just be silly!
so who are some wippleman guys? i'm thinking the number one wippleman guy is giant gonzales, but maybe sid due to card status

I think of Sid first and foremost, maybe in part since I think he was the one who got him hired in the first place.
Umm, probably not Brickhouse Brown, if you remember that story.

Sid.
It fits the Brock/Heyman mold.

Jerry Lawler is a Harvey Whippleman Guy. (They do get along.)

Being a Harvey Wippleman Guy was a kiss of death. Outside of Sid and arguably Giant Gonzales, all his other charges were midcard scrubs at best.

I never got why a bunch of jobbers would need a manager. Well Dunn? What the hell was their gimmick anyway? Failed Chippendales dancers from the South?

Didn't wippleman appear right after peewee got arrested? Maybe they were gonna hire peewee herman as their next big manager and wippleman was a last minute replacement

He was the quintessential pencil necked geek. The fact that his real name is Bruno is hilarious, because it always looked like a stiff breeze would break him in half

Definitely Sid.
Then I think of Warlord, although I'm not sure he even managed Warlord?
EDIT: Yup, he did:

I never got why a bunch of jobbers would need a manager. To make them appear to be much more than jobbers. Managers were not just a mouthpiece for guys who couldn't cut a promo, but they also created an association that gave certain wrestlers more legitimacy. A gang of jobbers can (theoretically) do damage versus just one. Thing is, Wippleman never really had a "family" of wrestlers for the majority of his time there. Busick, Warlord, Sid, Kamala, Giant Gonzalez...they weren't a family, they were a concurrent string of guys he managed. One after another, Wippleman managed a guy, then went away, Wippleman managed another guy, they went away..... By the time he got a family, it was Adam Bomb & Kwang (for a few months until Bomb turned face and they used Kwang as an excuse) and then Kwang & Well Dunn. Kwang & Well Dunn. Yeah. |

But why would the jobbers, like Well Dunn, be given a manager, only to have them receive no push in the process? Makes no sense.
Also, Big Bully Busick was a JTTS but had a manager. I still don't understand this. Same with Kwang.
