9. J.J. Dillon
8. "Classy" Freddie Blassie
7. Mr. Fuji
6. "Captain" Lou Albano
5. Miss Elizabeth
4. Jimmy Hart
3. Paul Heyman (aka Paul E. Dangerously)
2. Paul Bearer (aka Percy Pringle)
1. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

You know it's a deep, tough list when Jim Cornette couldn't crack the top 10.

Roman Reigns's impression on Paul Bearer was amazing.

Not much to complain with that list. Fuji is the only one I would say could probably be taken off, with Cornette deserving a spot. Good list overall, though.

I dunno, if I was going to replace someone, it might be Dillon, but admittedly, I didn't really ever get into him, so it's possible I am being unfair.

I'd have given the Honorable Mention to Sunny over Vickie and put Heyman at 2. Great list though.

Good List, can't really argue with anyone chosen.
Cornette would probably be up there but I'm not sure who I'd take off to get him on there.

I didn't watch the video, but does Dillon mostly get credit for his work with the Four Horsemen?
Also, it would've been interesting for DDP to get an honorable mention just to remind people he began his career as a manager.

Jim Cornette should have been either number 2 or 3. He's not on the list.
I don't think Paul Bearer was the second best manager, though this is a very WWE-centric list. WWE picks the ten managers. The 'fan vote' is just based on WWE.com voting, where they vote for their top pick. Paul should be on the list, but not number two.
I would have Jimmy Hart ahead of Paul Bearer, but mostly for Jimmy's work in Memphis. I think Paul Bearer is really more of a second-tier manager.
I might have put 'Playboy' Gary Hart on the list as well.

Heyman should be #2 and Cornette should at the top half of this list.

Cornette seems to get overlooked alot by WWE. Is he still with TNA or something?
I'd say Bearer is too high but it's a strong list as always with the managers. Never really seen much of Dillon's work so he's the only odd one out to me but I don't discredit it by any means
The correct two females made it, not sure about the Vickie shout out. Deffo in honour of her departure but there was better managers she had longer GM roles than manger spots

I'd definitely have Cornette in there, even on his WWF run alone with the likes of Yokozuna, Owen Hart and Davey Boy Smith. Heenan is perfect for #1, though I'd have Heyman at #2 above Bearer.

I really like this list. Paul Bearer seems high, but if you think about it, he was monumental in getting Undertaker and Kane over. His talking kept the mystic alive on them. Add the fact his other two guys were Vader and Mankind, that is pretty good. As much as I love Heyman, I will always think of him as the ECW owner and not a manager. If anything, I would have moved Jimmy Hart to 2nd. When I think of managers, it is him and Heenan that come right to mind.
I would not have had Cornette on my list at all. He would be around 11-15 with Sunny and others.

You know it's a deep, tough list when Jim Cornette couldn't crack the top 10. And you wouldn't be completely offended by it. I'm a huge Cornette fan, and I wasn't offended that he didn't get on the list as much as I was that he wasn't seen anywhere in the generic manager b-roll. I think I saw literally every manager that ever made WWE/WCW/ECW/AWA TV except for him. I know there's bad blood, but considering he was basically the Bobby Heenan to Shawn Michaels' Hogan in the mid-90's, they could have had ONE shot of the guy. |
