EVERY WWE Manager Ranked From WORST To BEST 

At this point, I wouldn't even be shock if they rank literally EVERY wrestler in WWE history

This list is really about, "Who is number 3 behind Heenan and Heyman?"

we are 1 step closer to “every WWE wrestler ever ranked”

Bobby heenan deserved that number 1 spot. For modern fans, paul heyman is the bobby heenan of this era of wrestling but not just this era alone, wcw, ecw, ruthless aggression, wwecw, pg era and now but the brain has a great record of managing the G.O.A.Ts of the 80's and 90's. Paul will be remembered as the greatest manager of this timeline but he was not the first to do it like bobby "the brain" heenan did it. (For the record, i am not saying bobby is the pioneer of managing but he was one of the best to bring it to an extent.)

The commitment it must have taken to find all of these people is insane

Heenan earned the top spot. Does everyone remember when he astutely pointed out that Marty Jannetty tried to dive through the Barber Shop window to escape from Shawn Michaels?

Heenan had to be #1. If you grew up in that era you saw just what an amazing talent he was. Just unreal at bringing heat and absolutely the funniest man ever on commentary.

I think you should rank every reoccurring "interview show" segment. Pipers Pit, the Brother Love Show, and the Barber Shop, all the way up to Ding Dong Hello, and the Grayson Waller Effect. It's been a pretty consistent staple of WWE programming for decades. I also suspect there would be a good sizable yet manageable amount of them to rank, and make a good video for

Lita's contributions as a manager/valet, I feel are very underrated. The amount of bumps she took from the opponents of Essa, Hardys & Edge.. was ridiculous. Notable spots were: Hurricanrana off a ladder on the outside, piggyback on foley going over the top rope & taking a brutal pumphandle bomb from Test. I dont think any other woman in wwe has had barbed wire in their mouth during a wrestlemania spot either 😂 Even her (questionable) mic work against John cena in 2006 was really great heel work on Edge's behalf

Cornette was a great manager. Whether you like the dude or not you can't deny he understood how the business worked back then, he just got it.

I can't believe Akio and Sakoda were 199. They're undoubtedly amongst the 198 best ever!!

Seeing Heenan at #1 put a huge smile on my face. He will always be #1 to me.

Just seeing Bobby Heenan on screen makes me smile. Can’t think of many other entertainers who still have that effect.

One more note on Paige... She often worked the corner for Mandy Rose and Sonya DeVille in Absolution... At least until her injury and 'retirement' a month or so later...

There is nothing like the sensation of getting to the end of a Cultaholic countdown like this. They're always so well informed and entertaining that by the time I get to the end of one I feel a bit overwhelmed with emotion. Kind of like I remembered why I love wrestling in the first place, and get to go over all that nostalgia of the people who make it great in the first place. Adam, you are legitimately the best in the business when it comes down to this - and all I can say is thank you. ❤

Just got to the “Join us!” and I respect the effort put into this video. Just the rules and exclusions list was a thing of art to decide upon.

I like Stacy Keibler and how she helped boost Test's career by calling his fans, Testicles. She was also one big asset in the Superheroes Tag Team of Hurricane and Rosey as Super Stacy but most arguably her top managerial skills was when she was the Duchess of Dudleyville ❤️ She's the one calling shots to put people yhru the table

The animated bits at the beginning instead of the stock photos was a beautiful touch to start this video! Nicely done!

JBL had heat when he came back to manage Corbin last year, he was getting reactions during his little pre match promos. The problem is that while he had heat, Corbin had none. And the manager isn't supposed to have more heat than the wrestler he manages.

Fun fact- Jameson's real son was the kid in the NFL play 60 commercial that told Cam Newton "I'm just warming my arm up". Implying he would one day take his job.

Technically, Godfathers Ho's take up 2 spots. One of which was Lita.

I definitely consider Paul Heyman as one of the best managers in WWE, I think he has great mic skills.

I work doubles on Sat and Sun. I love when you guys drop these.

Lauper not being in the HOF at this point is NUTS!

Fantastic list. My sole disagreement/hill I will proudly die on is that I think Paul Heyman is greater than Bobby Heenan at this point but I can respect the work you all put into this. God damn.

thanks for doing my submission idea 😭 especially on a boring sunday

20:38 poor Pacitti, absolutely criminal of the writer not to put *say "yeah!" like LA Knight* at that point 😂

Thank you for putting Chyna in the top 10. It always warms my heart to see the respect you guys give her.

“You listen to me you go to the top! You don’t listen to me, you’re never heard from again!” -Bobby Heenan Truer words have never been spoken.

These are always some of my favorite videos, really well produced and always a fun watch. Hoping we get an 'Every TNA/Impact X-Division Champion' ranked eventually

if i as a wrestler was given the chance to choose a manager i would choose my favorite manager, ted dibiase. there are many reasons for this starting with how i think the best kind of managers are the ones that have previous in-ring experience. he also would let the fans know how valuable you are not just with his million dollar man gimmick but with his charisma and mic skills

I'm intrigued to see where Steven Richards ranks when he was Kronik's manager

Who ever did the intro... i applaud you

I feel like I've heard this video get talked about for over a year on the Classic Raw Review podcast, glad its finally out and done with. Good job.

Thanks to this video i learned that Camacho is now Tanga Loa

I didn't really know how this list was going to go, but I only knew the top 2 are Heyman and Heenan. You guys are so good. Well done.

I'm not even half way through the list and just needed to head to the comments to say how ridiculous it must have been to put together this list. Just incredible work.

Don't forget that "I. Yankum" was from DECAY-tur Illinois.... Groan...

Wrestlemania 31 is one of my personal favorite shows because I was there, and the timing could not have been more serendipitous for me because i was only in San Jose/Santa Clara area for a couple of months, and i just happened to notice the marketing locally. I was not gonna miss attending Wrestlemania if i was in the same town. Really helps that it was a damn good show too, being there for the Heist of the Century was magical.

Glad heyman is close to the top, Lesnar and Heyman is easily favorite manager and wrestler duo ever!

Before I watch the video I'm going to say Bobby "the Brain" Heenan is the greatest of all time.

32:10 “Eddie’s biological son” 😂

1:14:06 My favorite part of Slaughter’s heel turn is that his two lackeys outrank him. Lol

I wonder how hard it is to do a 2hr video when we all know how it's going to end just by the title alone.

Lmao was not expecting the officer barbrady. I’m listening to this in the middle of work. Had several people wondering what the heck I was laughing about. 57:02

Haha Wrestling Bios reference was awesome

Every wrestling match ever ranked when?

Small note about Bob Backlund... You forgot his cup of coffee managerial run of Eurocontinental champion Kurt Angle.

hmm, I got nothing to do today, - cue Cultaholic dropping a 2 hour vid to sort me out

1:04:44 "Look at it and cry." That's the hardest I've laughed at a Cultaholic video in a minute 😂

Finally Jackie Orlando finished his list, been looking forward to this for ages 👍

i'd honestly put heyman over heenan now

“Slick: he’s a jive soul bro, a jive soul bro” 😂😂😂 IYKYK

aaaah Victoria... one of the biggest "what if" of the early 2000s She was great at a time when WWE couldn't be bothered with their women's division.

Thank god Heenan won this. So well deserved. Also nice to see Jimmy Hart at 4. He is very underrated.

34:08 Adam i appreciate that you know that we've been watching your lists for like 8 years now. Did you know Sean O'Haire's last match was the Barroom Brawl?

Great video. Love all these throwbacks definitely agree with your top five. Some entrees were questionable but overall I enjoyed this video.

I think Cornette's truth spitting in current times has brought him down on the list. He's definitely the guy after to Heenan, followed very closely by Heyman.

"The small, filthy mute" line killed me 😂😂😂

This was really great. More long form stuff like this please!!😊

I'm surprised Mae Young wasn't ranked higher in your rankings. OMG she could bump better than most of the guys.

Amazing. Hyped for the every employee ranked video!

35:06 when Bob Backlund was WWWF/WWF Champion from 1978-84 he had no personality but when he came back and lost the plot in 94 he showed he did have some personality and character playing his character brilliantly

30:29 "a silly tit" 😆😆😆

Bobby Heenan is the best and greatest manager of all time case closed.

Tajiri wanting to end Kyodai to avoid pissing off the Yakuza makes more sense than I care to admit. That was probably for the best. lol

Is this the video that somebody (I believe it was Fraser) said earlier in the week they were sick of making and hoped to have it out soon?

That was freaking awesome!!!! Good job Boys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Video idea Every wwe jobber from worst to best

Thank you thank you and more thank yous it's like a birthday gift when we get one of these

Good morning, God. Good Morning World 🌎, Good morning, @CultaholicWrestling and Good Morning Wrestling! Cheers to the Greatest Managers of WWE ❤ 🍻

Stacy Keibler at 76?! Surely she makes the top 10! She gave us Super Stacy FFS, alongside Hurricane (another talent who doesn't get his due often enough). She was the Duchess of Dudleyville... She helped Randy Orton's newbie build... She made Test a bigger deal than he'd been in years... She aided Big Poppa Pump with passable storylines despite dwindling wrestling skill... For me, Stacy Keibler is THE top female manager in this list. She played great characters, she was fun, talented and beautiful. Perhaps one of her most important contributions in retrospect was how she proved that implants weren't necessary to make the top tiers in the company - This was almost an expected criteria of female talent at one time. She might not have made it very high up in your list, but she's most definitely reached top ten in mine as well as being the top female manager. She's missed dearly in today's wrestling landscape.

Nice. It’s amazing how many of these I forgot about, or missed completely

I liked Trish as a manager

Genuinely surprised to see how low some managers are, suppose the competition is more intense than I had thought! 😅

This is a video I simultaneously didn’t know I needed 🤨but am very excited to watch 😂

Whoever edited this did a top job. Well done.

Lena Yada also eventually became the wife of Disturbed frontman, David Draiman.

I think somewhere in the mid 100s there should've been note for Extreme Expose, even though Kelly Kelly and Layla had separate entries. As a trio their time as groupies for the Miz was the start of him actually winning matches and developing a personality beyond "jobber who was on reality tv".

Fun fact: Mr. Hughes wrestled in the 1993 King of the Ring

52:44 Frenchy Martin is my Uncle and godfather. We miss him. He was so underrated as a wrestler and a manager.

Need to bring back Old School wrestlers as Managers with stable of new guys! Help them with their ring knowledge to get over 💯 Greg The Hammer Valentine Tito Santana Blue Meanie Bret Hart Sabu Undertaker

Thank you for doing this it is one of my favorite videos that you guys have made so far

Seeing some of the comments I understand why this intro is so long! 😂 thank you for the work

Okay, if you look deeper, The Undertaker brought Paul Barer in because he worked with him before when Paul went by Percy Pringle III in WCCW. The Undertaker went by Texas Red who was managed by Percy Pringle III in WCCW. Then, Percy now under the name Paul Barer, was brought in to manage The Undertaker. That is why the two worked so well together because they were very good as heels in the WCCW. The two almost worked with each other for like 10 years. There was another person during the Rock and Wrestling connection that also helped bring WWF into the spotlight in the 1980s. WWF was on tv on NBC, and the person or face of the NBC at the time was MR. T from the hit tv show The A Team. He wound up in the same corner with Cyndi and Captain Lou when Hulk Hogan wrestled. A couple of times, Mr. T wrestled as Hulk's TagTeam partner. Both Hulk and MR. T appeared in the new Rocky film at the time. He was the only other celebrity besides Cyndi that spent time in WWF at the time to be of notable.

“As Eddie Guerrero’s biological son…” You’re cold man 😂😂

Great job! The only correction I have is Clarence Mason. How is he ranked higher than Afa and Harvey Whippelman?

Ivar is a legit muthafuggin badass. The physical pain that man goes through to just live life and to do what he loves few men could handle. Nothing but love and RESPECT

39:45 I first heard about Isaac Yankem, DDS in 2009 and didn't realize that the first initial was part of the joke until last year. I thought "Yankem" was the joke on its own.

Cornette's WWE run was only a fraction of his overall managerial career, but I think it was still amazing enough to crack the top 5. Just my opinion though. I think this is a pretty damn good list.

What is this a Sunday gem 💎

Great narration and editing 👌

I'm so mad I just had to hear the phrase "swoggle teat" with my own ears. That aside, this is a seriously impressive list, big props to the writers and researchers!

That was one of the worst impersonations of LA Knights/Eli Drakes "YEEAH"s 😂

Poops and chuckles.. I popped 😂🎉❤ this is such a fun way of learning wrestling history. You guys make this so easy and enjoyable to consume. It's like calorie free doritos 😂

Gosh, I remember this list being alluded to months ago on the podcast, glad it finally came together

thank you for this! This mustve took alot of hard work and i appreciate it!

50:42 "His name's Mo and his name's not Joe" truly poetry in motion.

Paul Heyman and Paul Bearer

Jimmy hart #4 is a travesty of justice
