PW Boards Greatest Manager Tournament

Necro

Yep, Paul E. takes this one with ease unfortunately for Liz.

Knowing Heyman he has Brock take out her current client before the match begins leaving her wide open for an easy pin. Devious, deadly, dangerous.

Probably won't win but a deserving finalist imo.

Sirsok

Im a paul heyman guy,

So yeah paul heyman

He managed a company full of talent off screen!

Omackeral

Paul E Dangerously slides into the last 8. Only one more spot up for grabs, let's get to it.

captain lou

Necro

To be honest, I'm kind of meh on both.

Gonna go for Woman purely on her client list being better.

gerrybbadd

Did Woman never manage Benoit? Thought she did for some reason?

Anyhow, off topic! I'm going with Cpt. Lou, even if just for the British Bulldogs

brianregan09

Woman for me

Agent Coulson

Captain Lou just because he was batsh1t crazy and as a kid I loved batsh1t crazy while watching wrestling.

hufpc8w3adnk65

My early memories of wrestling envolve captain Lou so him him for me

Omackeral

We enter the quarter final stages with some heavy hitters gone but with many big guns still remaining. As before, first manager to attain three votes will go into the Final Four. Please give a reason for your choice. Let's see who drew who.

Captain Lou Albano



Talent Managed:The Wild Samoans, The Headshrinkers, The British Bulldogs, Superfly Jimmy Snuka, Greg Valentine, George 'The Animal' Steele


VS



Slick



Talent Managed:Big Bossman, Akeem, King Kong Bundy, Butch Reed, Power&Glory, Warlord

Necro

Ah Jaysus, one of these is going to the semis :pac:

CURSE YOU RANDOM DRAW GODS!

Ugh... I...

Captain Lou.

Reason: I flipped a coin :pac:

hufpc8w3adnk65

Captain lou here too for me as I loved him back in the day

Agent Coulson

I'm going with the Slick he was just a slick manager

gerrybbadd

I'm going with Lou. I know little of Slick, whereas Lou, I even remember the WWF cartoon from back within in the day on The Den, and he was in it.

Lou for me

Omackeral

80's icon Captain Lou goes into the semi final. Who might he meet there? Time for the ballad of Vickie Bobby.

Vickie Guererro



Talent Managed:Edge, Chavo Guererro, Dolph Ziggler, LayCool,Big Show


VS



Bobby ''The Brain'' Heenan



Talent Managed:Andre The Giant, Rick Rude, Harley Race, Mr Perfect, Ric Flair, The Brainbusters

Necro

Ha it's the same thing here as with DiBiase to an even bigger degree.

I try to consider a coherent argument as to why Vickie should go through - and I just can't.

Excuse me, Vickie - but my vote is for Heenan.

Far better client list, far better manager. I think that covers it.

hufpc8w3adnk65

Love the brain! Gotta vote for him! Big part of my child hood! Gorilla Monsoon firing him on Raw was a great moment in my memories of WWF

Itssoeasy

Vickie was good at getting heat but outside of that I wasn't a fan. Also it's sir Robert of heenan so he will win every time. He has some of the best lines ever uttered as both a manager and commentator.

Omackeral

Pretty straight forward win for the Weasel. Can anyone stop him? Next matchup sees some intergender action.

'Sensational' Sherri Martel



Talents Managed:Shawn Michaels, Randy 'Macho Man' Savage, Harlem Heat, Ric Flair, Ted DiBiase, Honky Tonk Man


VS


Paul Heyman



Talent Managed:Brock Lesnar, The Dangerous Alliance(Rick Rude,Steve Austin,Arn Anderson,Bobby Eaton,Larry Zybysko) CM Punk, Kurt Angle, Big Show, Cesaro

Necro

Heyman.

In terms of talent managed they're just about even, but Heyman is head and shoulders better at promoting his 'clients.'

Stack memorable Heyman promos against Sherri's.... yeah it's no contest.

Heyman.

chopperbyrne

Heyman for sure.

So good at getting his wrestlers over.

hufpc8w3adnk65

Heyman for me too! Excellent in all roles of management and love how promos

JP Liz V1

Sherri, think she matches as the female Heenan so has to make the finals, plus epic client list

Omackeral

Support for Sister Sherri arrives a little too late as Paul E Dangerously slides on in to the last four. There's only one spot remaining there. Who's gonna take it?

The Sinister Minister aka Fr James Mitchell




Talent Managed: Tajiri, Mikey Whipwreck, Abyss, Diciples of the New Church, Mortis, Wrath


VS


Dutch Mantel aka Zeb Coulter



Talent Managed:Justin ''Hawk'' Bradshaw (JBL), The Blu Brothers, Jack Swagger, Cesaro

gerrybbadd

Sticking with Dutch. Such a talent on the mic, and creatively (when he's allowed).

Omackeral

I suppose Dutch limps over the line 1-0 in the most uninspiring quarter final that's ever happened.

Ok so semi final time now and we might as well stick with three votes. Reasons are encouraged as always!

Paul Heyman



Talent Managed:Brock Lesnar, CM Punk, The Dangerous Alliance (Rick Rude,Steve Austin,Arn Anderson,Bobby Eaton,Larry Zybysko w/Madusa), Kurt Angle, Big Show, Cesaro


VS



Captain Lou Albano



Talent Managed:The Wild Samoans, The Headshrinkers, The British Bulldogs, Superfly Jimmy Snuka, Greg Valentine, George 'The Animal' Steele

gerrybbadd

Heyman. Relevant even today, when managers really aren't a thing anymore. One of the best on the mic, of any talent, of any time. In ring or not. Exactly what a manager needs to be. And look at that list of talent - have you got Mean Mark listed there Omack?

Agent Coulson

Got to be Paul E the only one that could give Bobby a run for his money.


For what it's worth I would have voted Sinister Minister.

Necro

Paul E calls in a few favours from his old clients and Lou gets squashed like a bug.

Heyman wins by knockout.

Omackeral

An utter squash. Will it be the same here in our second semi-final?

Dutch Mantel aka Zeb Coulter



Talent Managed:Justin ''Hawk'' Bradshaw (JBL), The Blu Brothers, Jack Swagger, Cesaro, Alberto Del Rio


VS





Bobby ''The Brain'' Heenan



Talent Managed:Andre The Giant, Rick Rude, Harley Race, Mr Perfect, Ric Flair, The Brainbusters
