Best in recent times It is the perfect union of beauty and the beast . both compliment each other on every single level..asthetically , in story , everything about the pairing is perfect he never takes from her role as his controller and she never takes from his role as an absoloute f***ing killer and that is an issue alot of wrestler and valets end up having but 4 seasons on and that has not happened here again IMO the most perfect pairing of valet and wrestler in recent memory. As for one that did not work Heyman and Cesaro -- No one benefited and it absoloutley killed Cesaro who was white hot at the time dead in his tracks for a good stretch.

Worst: 1. Oliver Humperdink and Paul Orndorff - Those two did not mesh together at all during their brief run together 2. Coach John Tolos and anyone under his watch - His run with Perfect and The Beverly Brothers under his helm did them no favors. 3. Bob Backlund and Darren Young - When Crazy Backlund can't make Darren Young great (again!), then it's time to throw in the towel Arnold Skaaland style 4. Brother Love and Undertaker - These two just didn't mesh well together at all.

Heenan and Bockwinkel. Much like Heenan/Flair and Heyman/Punk, the wrestler didn’t need the manager to do his talking but had such great chemistry and played off each other so well. I could watch their interviews all day

It didn't help that Perfect had his Llyoyd's of London Insurance policy when he was managing Flair and couldn't take any bumps which hurt his effectiveness in a manager role. He would still interfere and attack Flair's opponents constantly but to me that just made him worse as the babyfaces could never hit him back and get their heat back so it just ended up making them look bad as a result. It was even worse with Rick Rude as he would just beat the crap out of guys and the wrestlers would have to just stand there and take it because they couldn't do anything. It just kind of made you wonder why Rude wasn't wrestling anymore since all of these top main event wrestlers were so helpless against him. Anyways for best I would say Honky Tonk/Jimmy Hart, Perfect/Heenan. Shawn/Sherri, and Demolition/Fuji. As far as worst goes Demolition/Johnny V comes to mind as Johnny V's goofball schtick didn't fit with at all. Switching them to Fuji was a good move as even though he wasn't a good manager it was a perfect for the team since he was a more dark and sinester character that was more compatible with them. It seemed like Slick had a lot of odd parings that didn't make much sense. Bossman, Rick Martel, and the Bolsheviks all come to mind. Oddly Slick, Bossman, and Akeem as trio worked really well though despite making no sense at all on paper. I think Slick was a replacement for Freddie Blassie, so that is why he got the Bolsheviks.
Best: Heenan/insert 'Heenan Family' member here. Jim Cornette/Midnight Express.
Worst: That Japanese guy with the Four Horsemen. Honky Tonk Man/Billy Gunn. Sunny/LOD.
Partially correct, Fred managed Nikolai. Boris Zukhov didn't come in until long after Fred retired. (The last "new guy" Fred managed was Hercules Hernandez. Even Blassie - a man mainly known for bringing in foreign talent - was baffled as why.)

Generally guy from a past generation + new guy does not = success. It's even more true with a guy who was over years ago but in another territory.

Remember when they split up HBK and Sherri and tried replacing her with Luna? How quickly did that die out?

I meant that since Freddie managed Sheik and Volkoff, he would have gotten the Bolsheviks too if he was still a manager.

I loved Taz and Bill Alfonso. They were like an early, better version of Brock and Heyman.
