A new golden age of wrestling managers is here.

The role and art form that kept many employed and on screen in the 1980s and early ’90s started to fade away after WWE won the Monday Night War, transitioned into the only game in town and saw its women presented on par with the men in the ring. 

Vince McMahon began to question the need for managers to some extent while running WWE in the early 2000s. 

However, if you are in your 40s, you grew up during the time of Bobby Heenan, Jimmy Hart, Mr. Fuji, Miss Elizabeth, Sensational Sherri, Paul Ellering, Paul Bearer, Sunny, Jim Cornette, Chyna, and even Harvey Whippleman, to name a few. They were some of the most entertaining things on wrestling programming and essential elements to a performer’s presentation and storylines.
