Most underrated managers?

[Deleted]

I always loved Theodore R. Long as a manager. Then again I was always a Rodney Mack mark. I was too young to remember him as Doom’s manager but I thought his Thuggin & Buggin stable could have been quality. You had Mack, Jazz, Mark Henry and I THINK D-Lo joined.... Then of course, “The Reflection of Perfection” Mark Jindrak. That guy should have been massive.

He was a good GM but he was a better heel manager in my book.

Other candidates... Armando Estrada. Umaga was never the same after they broke him away from him. And the less said about his in-ring career the better.

Larry Sweeney could have honesty been the next Bobby Heenan if he hadn’t tragically committed suicide. I believe he would have eventually made it to WWE.

Not WWE but James Mitchell.

Armando Estrada

I always thought Col. Robert Parker was a good manager.

[Allie Kitsune]

I don't know why, but I marked out for Harvey Whippleman.

[Stone Coke Miami Watson 🥃]

Oliver Humperdink & Sheik Adnan....two of my all-time favorites who aren't brought up as often as (other) managers who've appeared in the WWF

[sunnytaker]

I was a fan of the Grand Wizard, he didn't interfere in matches as much as his fellow heel managers but had a unique look to him.

gary hart was another one most people forget about, but I don't recall if he ever got to the wwe.

Almost happened a couple of times, but things fell through before he actually started the gig. Once in the late 70s/early 80s and once in the early-to-mid 90s.

Estrada and Umaga was the perfect combination of sleazeball manager and killing machine.

I really really liked the Jindrak/Long pairing and was disappointed it didn't last long. Masters came in and did basically the same gimmick later without a manager but I liked Jindrak better.

Titus would be an awesome full-time manager and I wish they had stuck with that as the Titus Worldwide plan. Him managing Apollo and Tozawa was just starting to get somewhere when they pulled the plug.

[Hickster]

Skandor Akbar is one of my all time favorites.

[H-Virus]

I feel like The Jackal could have really gone places if he had stuck around longer and not been saddled with one of the worst stables of all time to represent.

Ricardo Rodriguez as the original Ascension manager and for ADR.

Whatever Dutch Mantel’s name was before he got with ADR.

Paul Ellering- No idea why he needed a ventriloquist dummy & gets kicked away from his teams.

Ellering added so much to AoP, even just standing there not saying or doing anything.

Sharmell massively helped Booker's heel act and made him a World Champion in WWE imo.

Paul Ellering by far. AoP got about 75% less intimidating when they lost him from their act. He was just so menacing, and he made them seem legit by association. Now they come out with Drake Maverick and just look like geeks.

Yeah... I like Drake Maverick and it was hilarious when he randomly appeared with them the first time, but it hasn't been a good fit.

Zeb Coulter. Should have never put him with Del Rio and kept him with Swagger.

They should have just squashed him after the first match for the lolz.

They could have done a cool storyline where Maverick desperately tries to manage someone and they all kick his ass after the match.... until he gets EC3. That was a quality pairing IMO.
