DrVenkman PhD Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 At last, homage is paid to the brains and beauties behind the brawn - the most famous and infamous managers in wrestling history. The men and women you’ll see here are the architects of a Superstar’s success, and sometimes the designers of their downfall. These master manipulators will go down in history as the World’s Greatest Wrestling Managers: Captain Lou Albano Paul Bearer “Classy” Freddie Blassie Jim Cornette Miss Elizabeth “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart Bobby “The Brain” Heenan Paul Heyman Sensational Sherri “Golden Boy” Arnie Skaaland Sunny The Grand Wizard And many more! This release takes a look at the art of managing, the evolution of female managers, and highlights some of the most well-known, colorful managers professional wrestling has ever seen, along with their biggest moments and matches. Special Features Capt. Lou Albano vs. Arnold Skaaland – MSG (19/12/77) Bobby Heenan vs. Greg Gagne – Weasel Suit Match, AWA (17/08/80) Jim Cornette vs. Paul E. Dangerously – Tuxedo Match. The Great American Bash 1989 Interviews, Vignettes, Music Videos Vince McMahon interviews Freddie Blassie & Nikolai Volkoff Tony Schiavone interviews Jim Cornette, NWA World Championship Wrestling (29/06/85) “Fuji Vice”, Tuesday Night Titans (07/05/86) Vince McMahon interviews The Grand Wizard & Bob Duncum, All-Star Wrestling (02/04/75) Mean Gene Okerlund visits the Hart Foundation Bobby Heenan wins the 1976 Manager of the Year Award, AWA All-Star Wrestling (25/12/76) Capt. Lou Albano wins the 1985 Manager of the Year Award, Tuesday Night Titans (27/09/85) Larry Nelson interviews Paul E.

I find it odd that Silvervision hasn't confirmed the rumoured Hogan DVD line-up yet, though.
razazteca Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 WarGames 1987 and 1994 should of been the wrestling matches!
Guest Coffey Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Well, if they slap every manager/valet they're ever had in the company on the DVD, I guess they don't have to worry about leaving anyone out. Maybe this is an indication that mangers might be coming back (please)? Slick better be on that bitch! "It's all about the monnay!"
razazteca Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 There better be several JJ Dillion interviews.
Bruiser Chong Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Any word on the running time of this?
Dangerous A Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 I know a lot of you will be gushing all over the usual suspects like Heenan and Heyman, but check out the Grand Wizard. If the guy had been alive during the 80's, he'd be getting a lot more run. He was very much the Billy Graham of managers in that he was way ahead of his time promowise.
daileyxplanet Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 I demand some retrospects from Heenan, Heyman etc. And in other news, in Coffey's sig Ric Flair looks like Gary Busey.
pochorenella Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 The main feature should be interesting, but I'm not sure it guarantees a buy on my part just yet. And in other news, in Coffey's sig Ric Flair looks like Gary Busey. That picture scared me a bit.
nl5xsk1 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Bobby Heenan vs. Greg Gagne – Weasel Suit Match, AWA (17/08/80) Awesome.
Darthtiki Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Where in the hell is the classic, pre-Swallowed-a-Hostess-Factory Tammy bathing suit vignette? Ah...memories
pochorenella Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 Where in the hell is the classic, pre-Swallowed-a-Hostess-Factory Tammy bathing suit vignette? Ah...memories ** crosses fingers for that to be an easter egg **
haVoc Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 the evolution of female managers Shouldn't the management skills improve for it to be called an evolution?
Darthtiki Posted March 10, 2006 Report Posted March 10, 2006 the evolution of female managers Shouldn't the management skills improve for it to be called an evolution? It's more De-evolution
BruiserKC Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 I know he wasn't WWE...but if you're including greatest managers, no list is complete without General Skandor Akbar.
benoit4hor Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Or Paul Ellering, Gary Hart, Mr. Fuji, JJ Dillion, Sir Oliver Humperdink.
CanadianChris Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 And in other news, in Coffey's sig Ric Flair looks like Gary Busey. That picture scared me a bit. It scared me a bunch.
SuperJerk Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Where in the hell is the classic, pre-Swallowed-a-Hostess-Factory Tammy bathing suit vignette? Ah...memories ** crosses fingers for that to be an easter egg ** Seconded.
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted March 11, 2006 Report Posted March 11, 2006 Where in the hell is the classic, pre-Swallowed-a-Hostess-Factory Tammy bathing suit vignette? Ah...memories I think we'll be seeing the Shotgun Saturday Night Segment with Fondle Me Elmo.
Bruiser Chong Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Or Paul Ellering, Gary Hart, Mr. Fuji, JJ Dillion, Sir Oliver Humperdink. Fuji Vice is included, which suggests Fuji's part of the "and many more" category. Let's not front, though: he was a one-dimensional manager.
Jericholic82 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 this looks pretty cool IMO. Id buy it.
evilhomer Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 the evolution of female managers Shouldn't the management skills improve for it to be called an evolution? It's more De-evolution Oh come on, it's a great look at the improvments made in breast implants.
Art Sandusky Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 I also want to know how long the actual feature is going to be. If they did like the ECW one and gave it not even three hours, but at least two this'll be good. Like, must-buy good.
