I've never seen any Valiant Brothers promos so I wouldn't know. Him being more quiet is surprising to hear as he was such a loud and bombastic character during his managerial run. in the mid 80's. Yeah I can't see him and Schultz working. I don't see Schultz surly redneck character mixing at all with Johnny V's goofball act. I am friends with Jimmy and got to meet Johnny a few times. Johnny was very quiet, he didn't seem to understand his wrestling fame. He wanted to talk about regular life things-baseball, the gym, his girlfriend and tell jokes. On one meet & greet site a fan posted being disappointed in him for not being responsive to wrestling questions. It was a show I sat next to him for a few hours with him telling jokes for me to laugh at but he did the bare minimum for the paying fans. He was the nicest of nice guys but his mind wasn't on being famous. Or maybe they didn't know how to talk to him. He wound up working for Westinghouse and also a college as a custodian for his later life. He loved the health care benefits of the college and cited it as the best job he ever had, I think his son said that in an online writeup after he passed.

Terri Managing raven in the alliance Ivory managing Hurricane and Lance Storm(before Molly joined Hurricane) Stacy Keibler and Shawn Stasiak Bobby Heenan and Brooklyn Brawler Mr Fuji and the moondogs. I thought it was funny that right after the RTC ended, Ivory had her ass crack showing through her leather pants with Regal yelling "You'll catch a draft!" at the end of a backstage segment in his office.

Didn't Oliver Humperdink manage Mr. Wonderful for a short stint? Same time as BamBam?

Totally forgot that Coach didn't just manage Mr. Perfect in the WWF...apparently he was with the Beverly Brothers too.

Bob Backlund trying to make Darren Young great again springs to mind and that's only cause I was recently looking at the Battleground 2016 matchcard and saw Young vs Miz on there, prompting a bit of a crisis as I was 100% I remembered everything, but there we are. I saw an 8-man match where Darren Young was managed by Bob. (Same card where Sami Zayn was bumped from a 4-way main event with champ AJ Styles, Baron Corbin and Kevin Owens for...some reason.) Bob worked his frickin' ass off at ringside! Was that where he was going to "Make Darren Young Great Again," or am I just totally hallucinating that was a thing.

My favorite is when Bob asks Darren to set his watch for a workout the next day and D-Young breaks out the smartphone. Bob had the funniest conniption fit over that. (They need to re-do that now that watches are kinda back.)

I mostly remember Zeb managed Bradshaw because JBL would reference it on commentary sometimes, calling him his "Uncle Zeb", to the degree where I am unclear on if Uncle Zebekiah and Zeb Coulter are meant to be the same guy in kayfabe. I suppose nothing says they can't be. Well, beside JBL, Uncle Zebekiah managed the motherf***ing HARRIS TWINS (Blu Brothers). Given Zeb Coulter's gimmick it's just too much of a coincidence to NOT be the same guy in kayfabe. The Harris Twins connection is the cherry on top, IMO. I can't go into too much detail, why, but if you understand, you'll understand.
