    We've all grown up enjoying wrestling and wrestlers for a multitude of reasons. Their larger than life characters, their charisma and their crazy storylines. An often forgotten but fondly remembered element of these were the managers. These sometimes devious, sometimes comic individuals could make you cheer or boo that extra bit more and invest you further into what was going on. We're going to see who you think was the best of them all as we look to crown and see who is the greatest manager of the modern era.

    The Brain for me.

    Reasons?

    He's Bobby Heenan basically up against a hair stylist.

    Has to be Robert "The cerebellum" Heenan for me.

    Had it all, and acted like a manager should, even when on commentary. He followed canon, knew what the business was all about, and how to get the reactions he wanted.

    Early pick for winner here

    Bobby Heenan.

    Repeat this for every round until he wins.

    Nobody else comes close.

    As expected, The Brain saunters through unscathed. A real mismatch. Let's see if our next bout throws up something a little more competitive.

    Francine who played a key role in ECW as a manager to some of the companies biggest names.

    Stacey for me, purely because I have no knowledge of Francine's management experience in ECW

    I'll give my vote to Francine too. Wasn't afraid to mix it up and took her fair share of bumps. Also was a manager in a truer sense whereas Stacey was more of a valet IMO.

    The Queen of Extreme goes into Round 2 at the expense of Ms Kiebler. Our next match has strong ECW roots but I fear it's gonna be a very one sided affair.

    Heyman for his work with Cesaro ;). I honestly don't know who the other guy is.

    Heyman must go down as one of the best promo's the modern business has ever had.

    Assuming they're on the opposite side of the bracket, Heyman will be the likely finalist with Heenan.

    Honourable mentions to JJ Dillon, Jim Cornette, Mr. Fuji, and Jimmy Hart.

    It's a random draw each round so they could meet at any stage.


    On we go with our next bout.

    Well it's the timing that can decide these things and it's mere seconds that sends the iconic Paul Bearer packing at the first hurdle. I'd consider that an upset. Let's see what's up next...

    I mean not only was heenan a brilliant commentator who was sharp as you like but he managed multiple worlds champions(not that the WWF ever mentioned it) he's the greatest manager ever.

    Dirty Dutch beats out Theodore R Long in a decent tussle. We go old school for our next bout. First to three advances.
