00:00You listen to me, you go to the top.
00:03You don't listen to me, you're never heard from again.
00:08Devious, scheming.
00:10We rule the world of professional wrestling.
00:12Manipulative.
00:13Everything from now on will be on my terms.
00:15Behind some of the greatest superstars is a powerful manager.
00:19I can spot the next big thing.
00:24More than just a mouthpiece advocating for their client,
00:27a wrestling manager can be a crucial element
00:29that will secure a victory by any means necessary.
00:33Oh, you saw that.
00:34He has no business out there.
00:36Today we look back at some of the most iconic manager moments
00:39in professional wrestling history.
00:41Oh, yes!
00:43This is WWE's Greatest Moments.
00:47That was fabulous, baby.
00:49Woo!
00:50He's just a man!
00:52Oh, my God, what the hell are you doing?
00:56Absolutely unbelievable!
00:58Welcome, baby, I'm against you.
01:06Welcome, everyone, to WWE's Greatest Moments.
01:09I'm Michael Cole.
01:10And on this edition, we're looking back at the brains and beauties behind the brawn.
01:15The professional wrestling manager.
01:18You take orders from me!
01:20Because I am the manager of the year.
01:22One of the most important roles one can hold in the squared circle.
01:26A manager's goal is to elevate a superstar's career and bring the eyes of the world to them.
01:31Everybody knows Freddie Blassie knows managing from A to Z.
01:36But some managers end up overshadowing the talent they represent.
01:40And that's not hard to do when you're as visually striking as Captain Lou Albano.
01:45Who's the handsomest of us all?
01:47It's that you are Captain!
01:49Many would say that Captain Lou even revolutionized sports entertainment
01:53when he introduced pop icon Cindy Lauper to the world of WWE.
01:58What determination!
01:59What will to win!
02:00Woo!
02:00Don't get too excited.
02:01Remember, it makes your medulla swell.
02:03I'd like to see Cindy.
02:04But would Captain Lou take too much of the credit?
02:07You've heard of gold, gold albums.
02:10The female entertainer of the year, Miss Cindy Lauper.
02:15First time we saw Cindy Lauper in WWE was when she appeared on Piper's Pitch.
02:21Captain Lou Albano, your manager, the man who has taken care of you and actually brought you from
02:25nothing and taken you...
02:27Rodney, wait, wait.
02:28Yes, darling.
02:28No, I love Lou, but Lou would never say that.
02:31Lou would never say that.
02:31Hey, how are you?
02:32Cindy, tell all these people out here how I found you in New York City and Queens
02:36and how I made your superstar.
02:38Lou Albano just starts talking this really sexist talk.
02:41Telling how women, Cindy, belong in the kitchen.
02:44Wait, wait, but Lou, Lou, you know, I don't like that.
02:46Cindy, just shut up for a minute, Cindy.
02:48There was a lot of resentment brewing and everything.
02:51Lou was saying all these terrible things and this and that.
02:54Tell them how you came off my reputation, Cindy.
02:56Captain Lou Albano.
03:02It was just amazing.
03:03We started crossing all these boundary lines that no one had ever done before.
03:08And I could feel the rumbling.
03:15It was awesome.
03:16It was Captain Lou that made it fun.
03:19And I'm proud to say that I worked with him.
03:23There was no rock and wrestling connection without Captain Lou Albano.
03:26That meeting with Cindy Lopper changed the trajectory of this industry forever.
03:37Mr. Fuji was perhaps one of the most dangerous villains to grace the squared circle.
03:42Through his shady methods, the devious one developed his in-ring success into a managerial career.
03:48One where he would represent talent that was larger than life.
03:52No one can move my Yokozuna.
03:55No one.
03:56In 1992, Mr. Fuji introduced his newest superstar.
04:00The Japanese sumo wrestler known as Yokozuna.
04:04Together, they would tear through the WWE roster.
04:07And at WrestleMania IX, nothing was off the table for Fuji.
04:11As his client would challenge the excellence of execution.
04:14Brett, the Hitman Hart.
04:20The match is underway.
04:22We've been waiting for it.
04:23This is it.
04:25Fuji was one of the most feared guys in wrestling business.
04:28And nobody got to mess with Yokozuna with Fuji around.
04:34Fuji was very stoic.
04:36Just an evil presence.
04:46Mr. Fuji was ready with the powder.
04:49It was very fitting from a character standpoint.
04:54How many tag team titles did Mr. Fuji win by throwing salt in the eyes of the opponents?
04:59And here he is, on the grandest stage of them all.
05:03Determining the outcome of the WWE Championship.
05:07Fuji threw something right in our eyes.
05:10And we have a new WWF champion.
05:14Former women's champion, Sherry Martell's physical prowess and tough persona.
05:19Made her a force to be reckoned with inside the squared circle.
05:22You're looking at a woman that didn't mean.
05:26Sherry was also a valuable asset alongside any male superstar.
05:30As she became one of the most prominent female managers of all time.
05:34I am in love with Shawn Michaels!
05:39In the lead up to SummerSlam 1992, Sherry was caught between a rock and a hard place.
05:44As her main man, Shawn Michaels, came to blows with another potential client.
05:49In Rick, the model, Martell.
05:54Where do you stand for tonight's matchup?
05:57I stand just like any other good woman.
06:00Right by my men.
06:02It's intentional, Sherry is the kind of lady and is lucky to leave with the winner.
06:06Sherry Martell having to make a choice between Rick Martell and Shawn Michaels.
06:10You see Martell checking Sherry up. Look at the hug!
06:14It was something that you didn't always get the chance to see.
06:17That spotlight on managers like that.
06:21Wait a minute, what happened to Sherry?
06:23She fainted!
06:24She didn't faint.
06:26Earthman's coming out!
06:28What are you trying to say?
06:28He's touching these two men. Fight over her!
06:31Wait a minute, you think that's delivering what she's doing?
06:33I got carried to the dressing room.
06:35Somewhere they got a bucket of water.
06:37Oh no, what's he gonna do?
06:40Good face and I'm sure he is fast!
06:43I got it right in the face.
06:44She just had the innate ability to enhance everything that she was a part of.
06:52She has been humiliated!
06:56In his heyday, classy Freddie Blassie was one of the most despised men in professional wrestling.
07:02And over the years, the Hollywood fashion plate became one of the most feared managers,
07:06leaving pencil neck geeks everywhere quaking in their boots.
07:10You pencil neck geeks!
07:11Blassie's managing resume included the likes of Nikolai Volkov, the incredible Hulk Hogan,
07:17and even the greatest himself, Muhammad Ali.
07:21I'm gonna destroy our wrestlers just like I destroyed all fighters. Right, fans?
07:25Right!
07:26But his greatest accomplishment would come when Blassie himself changed his style to meet that of his top star, Iran's
07:33favorite son, the Iron Sheik.
07:36Whenever I'm in the presence of the Iron Sheik, I will be called by my rightful name, Ayatollah Blassie!
07:44In December 1983, Ayatollah Blassie would lead the Sheik to the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden,
07:53where he would take on the All-American boy, Bob Backlund, for the WWE Championship.
08:01Bob Backlund knew wrestling from A to Z, and Arnold Skollin was his manager.
08:08I was, without a doubt, the most hated man in wrestling, because I liked Iran.
08:14He must be calling himself Ayatollah Blassie.
08:17He hooked Backlund back, he's right in the center of the ring!
08:20He's sitting right on that lower back.
08:22The Backlund's got a bad neck.
08:24Hold on!
08:24Oh, I have him in the camel collage.
08:26Oh, hold on!
08:28Backlund did not submit, Arnold Skollin threw something into the ring!
08:33And Arnold conceded the match, and the Sheik became the new world champion.
08:40We have a new champion in the World Wrestling Federation!
08:43Freddie Blassie was never the WWE champion.
08:46The Iron Sheik winning the title was a victory for Freddie Blassie.
08:52Welcome to Madison Square Garden, with my great adventure!
08:56All right!
08:57God bless you, do I get that belt!
09:00The four horsemen truly were the symbol of excellence.
09:03They ruled the world of professional wrestling with an iron fist, and looked good doing it.
09:08We control wrestling! We rule the world of professional wrestling!
09:12Who better to corral the horsemen than the infamous James J. Dillon?
09:17Diamonds are forever! And so are the four horsemen, yeah!
09:21J.J. Dillon looked, spoke, and dressed the part better than countless others.
09:25But as clean cut as he looked, the job sometimes required you to get your hands dirty.
09:29If we have to be vigilantes, we'll be vigilantes!
09:32After a match with Dusty Rhodes landed Tully Blanchard on the sidelines,
09:36J.J. and the rest of his horsemen went for a little road trip.
09:41This is how we handle Dusty Rhodes!
09:43Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's him.
09:45Tully and I are right on his tail. I don't think he's seen us.
09:48They had the car, and they had the camera guy, and they were waiting for me to drive by.
09:52That's it.
09:53I think it was natural for the horsemen to kind of focus everything on Dusty.
09:59Once you get him in that parking lot, there's no turning around.
10:02It was J.J.'s idea. It was J.J.'s strategy.
10:05And the four horsemen implemented from the imagination of J.J. Dillon.
10:11It was like a hit. It was like they were making a hit on a mafia.
10:20It was an outcry for us to have criminal charges brought against us for assault.
10:25Fans really bought into it.
10:29We were sending a message to them that, hey, don't mess with us.
10:32We'll gang up and beat bullies and beat you up.
10:38A major attack on the common man, the American dream, the plumber's son,
10:43drew nothing but big money.
10:44I want this to stand as a warning, Rudes.
10:50The Undertaker is one of the most unique characters to ever exist in WWE history.
10:55A dead man of few words, Undertaker needed someone equally as extraordinary to give him
11:00his ticket to superstardom. Enter a real-life mortician, Paul Bearer.
11:05Oh, are you looking for me?
11:08Paul Bearer soon became the herald of doom for any competitor willing to step into the ring with a phenom.
11:14Oh, what a busy afternoon is going to be in my funeral parlor.
11:20But after six years together, the paranormal partnership ended.
11:23I can't believe what you're saying.
11:24In 1997, Undertaker confronted his former manager, and in response, Paul Bearer delivered some
11:30astonishing news about the dead man's story past.
11:34Undertaker, this is the beginning of your end.
11:40We're gonna have to go back a few years. We're talking about a little funeral home.
11:46Paul Bearer was so special because of a super high-pitched voice that really actually made you listen.
11:52But there were two little kids there. One kid was a little red-headed punk, and then there was a
11:59second kid named Kane.
12:02I'm willing to suspend my disbelief. That was all because of Paul, and he knew what to say and when
12:07to say it.
12:10Undertaker, you burnt the funeral home to the ground. You killed your family, Undertaker.
12:17Paul tells his side of the story. He was left for dead. I showed him the love and the care
12:23that you, as his blood, never did.
12:26Turn around me! Kane told me!
12:29I breathed a breath of fresh air in all those characters.
12:33Kane is alive, Undertaker!
12:36He's alive!
12:38It was just the perfect storm.
12:40Kane the world! I swear! It's the truth! It's the truth!
12:50You know, you're jealous. You're like everybody else in the WWF. You're jealous of Jimmy Hart, aren't you?
12:55Of all the managers in professional wrestling history, the mouth of the south, Jimmy Hart, was one of the most
13:00colorful.
13:00I told you, I told you, I told you! He's the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time!
13:04Once the manager of the legendary tag team, the Hart Foundation, Jimmy would help the duo capture their first world
13:11tag team titles.
13:12No, no, no! We have new champions in the world!
13:16The greatest team in the history of professional wrestling today!
13:20Unfortunately, the Hart Foundation couldn't remain on the same page.
13:24Jimmy Hart has been pulled off by the Hart Foundation!
13:27In WrestleMania 7, the trio will be back in the title scene. Only this time, on opposite sides of the
13:33ring, things would get nasty.
13:36They're nasty! And they're gonna become the next World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions!
13:43Hart Foundation, tremendous champions! But that little runt! Jimmy Hart knows that very well!
13:50I turned on the Hart Foundation for the Nasty Boys.
13:54Nasty Boys are indeed just that! Nasty!
13:57But their megaphone always getting in the way.
14:00Boy, it certainly is a shame they have to contend with that individual on the outside, when they've got their
14:05hands full on the inside!
14:07Jimmy Hart was 115 pounds soaking wet, and yet he determined the outcome of the match by his physical involvement.
14:14This match deteriorating hours! The referee is losing control of it! He nailed it!
14:22This is it! This is it! It's over!
14:25We got new champions!
14:26For him being so integral into the finish, where the Nasty's are gonna become champions, that's a huge moment for
14:33Jimmy.
14:33Look at Jimmy Hart! Is he happy?
14:37Wow, you know, what a great moment that was.
14:40History has been made here at WrestleMania 7!
14:44There's nothing that I despise more than a spoiled brat.
14:48No one could get your goat more than the Louisville slugger himself, Jim Cornette.
14:53After all, I am one of the fastest rising young managers in the world today.
14:57The fast-talking Kentuckian was master of agitation that could yap his way out of a paper bag.
15:03If I tell you the sun's not gonna come up tomorrow, you better go out and buy you a flashlight.
15:08Cornette gained notoriety managing wrestlers and promotions all over the country.
15:11But in 1993, it was his arrival in WWE that really caught the eyes of fans everywhere.
15:22There's no business here! Do you know who that is?
15:25When you talk about great managers in the history of the business, Jim was the last of that bastion that
15:31had not been to the WWE at that time.
15:34This, ladies and gentlemen, is the greatest manager in the history of the sport of wrestling!
15:41The WWE, this whole new group of fans. What are his aspirations? What's he mad about? Who's he mad at?
15:50What's he want to accomplish?
15:51Let me just explain for all of you genetic defects out here living downstream of the nuclear plants, I hear
15:57you got some big fish up here!
15:59For him to be there, I think that that was a monumental moment.
16:01And then every single one of these people will know that you're yellow stinking Doug Kerr cowards, and I know
16:08you are!
16:09Ladies and gentlemen, this man is gonna set the World Wrestling Federation on fire!
16:15For Jim to debut in WWE and get endorsed by Bobby Heenan, I think added so much to his legacy.
16:25Let's do it! You're here! You're really here!
16:32Bobby Heenan!
16:34One of the most famous managers this industry has ever seen was simply known as the brain.
16:41I don't care how big you are, if you don't have any brains, you're lost.
16:44Heenan's crooked practices earned him another less flattering name, the weasel.
16:50You see any whiskers? You see any nose in here that looks like a weasel's nose?
16:54Put your ears on that sewer rat.
16:55In 1988, Heenan was locked in a rivalry with the ultimate warrior.
16:59The brain would step into the ring himself in a bout with the ultimate one,
17:03where the loser would be forced to wear a weasel suit.
17:12Look at Heenan, he wants a referee, he wants an explanation down here.
17:16Whenever you saw a gimmick match like the weasel match with Bobby,
17:19it's always about going out and having fun and having a good show.
17:22You can't control him! You get in the ring!
17:25Bobby Heenan was one of the first villains that you loved to hate.
17:31Oh, Heenan's got a big right hand!
17:33People loved the warrior, of course, and they hated Bobby.
17:36He's cut off the circulation to the brain, he's out!
17:38So once he lost that match and had to wear that suit,
17:41that really put the cherry on top of it.
17:44Bobby Heenan gets put to sleep, gets put into it while he's asleep,
17:48and you slowly see the realization.
17:52He doesn't know what's transpired. Look at this!
17:54Goes to wipe his face. Wait a minute.
17:58I've got paws.
17:59Oh, look at this! He's got it!
18:01And the crowd eats it up. Bobby has a match with himself.
18:06I think we just saw the ultimate humiliation.
18:11It's now time for our number one moment.
18:14Over the years, the role of the manager has diminished.
18:17The one advocate's guidance has stood the test of time.
18:20My name is Paul Heyman, the greatest manager in sports entertainment history!
18:28Heyman has been in the ear of some of the most successful superstars in history.
18:32But in the main event of Wrestlemania 41, Paul Heyman, the wise man of the Tribal Chief,
18:37was caught in a precarious position when his best friend and former client, CM Punk,
18:43cashed in a favor.
18:44At Wrestlemania, in my corner, your wise man, Paul Heyman!
18:51Heyman would now be in the corner of the Second City Saint,
18:54in a triple threat match against Roman Reigns and Seth freakin' Rollins.
19:02Paul Heyman is here in Punk's corner. The question, guys, though, is where does his allegiance really lie?
19:09That main event was solely built around Paul Heyman's emotional relationships with both Roman Reigns and CM Punk.
19:18He's guided not only my career, but the careers of so many others.
19:23The Holy Grail in WWE is the wisdom of Paul Heyman.
19:30We've really kind of created a bond that became very authentic and very real.
19:34Can he hit the GTS that he does to Rollins?
19:36Spear it out by Reigns! Stop by Seth! Everybody is down!
19:41And everyone's going, well, what's Heyman going to do?
19:44Paul Heyman has made his choice!
19:48Oh, no! Paul Heyman wrote wrote his best friend CM Punk!
19:54Paul Heyman has returned to his rival Chiefs!
19:58Oh, my God!
20:00Holy crap. He's going to walk out with Seth Rollins.
20:03I trusted him.
20:05When you get someone on your side, like Paul Heyman, you're able to push some things through.
20:11Paul Heyman decides who's going to win.
20:13And more importantly, Paul Heyman decides which two are going to lose.
20:19Benedict Heyman!
20:24Professional wrestling managers are the architects of a superstar's success.
20:28But it takes a great one to turn their superstar into a blockbuster attraction.
20:32I'm gonna go down the history books as the manager of the world's heavyweight champion.
20:36Well, that'll do it for this edition of WWE's Greatest Moments.
20:39I hope you've enjoyed this look back at some of the most pivotal manager moments
20:43in professional wrestling history.
20:44The
20:47You
