It's nice to see to see some part of WWE acknowledging that managers existed before Blassie, Albano, Wizard, and Skaaland.

This list is a real mix of "need to know" and "hey, this guy existed."

[Stu]

Bill Alfonso doesn't belong here.

Neither did Gary Hart.

[2 Cold Scorkum]

Wow, former Chief Justice Clarence Mason

[Todd Pettengill]

I don't think Coach was a need to know manager. He blew a whistle & was terrible on the stick.

As Urn said,

[TGM]

Out of the 5 of those I've seen, there's a reason they're over looked.

[JTG Fan]

Should have included Matt Striker, in what was his best role.

[The Heenan Family]

I think the reason why they included the Coach was just to point out that it was John Tolos. So really you just needed to know that John Tolos worked for WWE in 1991.

But Clarence Mason and the Jackyl aren't exactly hidden treasures.

I didn't need to know about John Tolos in 1991 & I still don't need to know about him now!

[I've got some bad news...]

Armando Alejandro Estrada would be a good candidate for the list.

You mean made the grave mistake of getting over?

[Joshie el Gato Rey]

Sinister Minister...where are you...

[mizerable]

Zoogz Rift would not be pleased if he was still alive.

[turkeysandwich]

Really? Frenchy Martin? He might have been the most useless manager I can remember, at least one that was around as long as he was. He wasn't really a mouthpiece for Dino Bravo and all he ever did was stand there with a flag.

I liked The Jackyl aka Cyrus a lot. One of the more memorable/weird Attitude Era moments was him doing that speech behind that podium that was descending from the ceiling during a Truth Commission match. Not that I remember a word he said, but it was a cool visual and an overall unsettling feeling.

if this is their definition of "overlooked" then The Baron was robbed

Well it's overlooked managers, they overlooked him so much they forgot they were paying him.
