#4 Managers were an important part of early WrestleMania History
There were twelve matches at WrestleMania 3. Eleven of those matches had a manager involved in some way. Only the painfully bad midget match had no manager. Even Bobby “The Brain” Heenan didn’t want a part of that.
Whether it was Heenan, Slick, Mr Fuji, Jimmy “The Mouth” Hart, Johnny V or Miss Elizabeth, the show was filled with managers that had an impact throughout the show. You could also tell how much fans hated the cheating manager.
Look at how excited they were when Slick was attacked by Tito Santana or when Jake “The Snake” Roberts threw the snake at Jimmy Hart. The heel manager is a lost art form.
The best of the best is Bobby Heenan. His promo setting up the main event with Andre the Giant is about as good as a heel promo gets. The manager is a relic of a bygone era and one that really worked at WrestleMania 3.
