Most Underrated Non-Wrestler

[indymadman]

I've been spending some of my time off (I get three weeks off!) checking out some old tapes (yes... VHS tapes... I used to be an avid tape trader) that I haven't even viewed before...

What I've noticed while watching some of the 87-88 NWA and mid-80's WCCW is that Gary Hart was an amazing pro-wrestling manager! He wasn't as funny or entertaining as Heenan, but as a manager, he was awesome. He got his guys over, acted professional, and really looked the part.

If there was a list of most underrated non-wrestler's... he'd be one of the top on my list for sure.

I don't think Slick gets even a fraction of the love he deserves. There were periods where he gave Heenan a serious run for his money in terms of being the top WWF manager. And the guy was almost never NOT entertaining.

Same here.

I also think Jimmy Hart doesn't get mentioned enough. In addition to being a great manager, him and Jim Johnston pretty much blow anyone out of the water when it comes to who had the most influence on wrestling music.

Yeah, sadly, I don't think all of Jimmy's contributions to the industry will be realized until after he is gone. He has truely given his life to the industry.

Not saying hes the best by no means but as far as underrated is concerned I think its Michael Cole...ive never had an issue with his commentating and I believe that he is a consumate professional...
