11 Wrestling Managers Who Deserve Some Love

Description

Professional wrestling managers have been around for a long time. Some of them were legitimately managers for their clients, handling their bookings, travel, and other associated business details. Ed “Strangler” Lewis, a legendary wrestler himself, managed former NWA world champion Lou Thesz for many years and took a percentage of Thesz’s earnings as champion. Paul Ellering did the same thing for the Road Warriors. He handled travel and lodging arrangements and even negotiated their contracts. But wrestling managers of the other kind are a bit better known: The flamboyant personality standing ringside, advising and  – occasionally – giving a little bit of underhanded assistance to his client. Some of the best performers in the business haven’t been wrestlers: They’ve been the guys at ringside, getting heat. While not all of your beloved favorites may be listed below, the following wrestling managers deserve a bit of our love by making professional wrestling exceptionally better by being a part of it.
