Magnum Milano Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Two omissions that immediately stand out are Gary Hart and J.J. Dillon. Hart never worked for the WWF so him not being listed is no surprise, but considering Dillon is on good graces with the company, worked in the offices for years, has appeared on the Legends of Wrestling roundtables and on some released DVDs, his omission is a surprise.

The Cum Doctor Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'd have Hart ahead of Heenan myself, although it's very close. Am I wrong for thinking Mr. Fuji should be higher? Although that might be because it seemed like he was another one who was everywhere when I first started watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 15, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 Genius should be higher than most of the several names in front of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Freebird Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Heenan is in a league of his own. The greatest ever, no doubt in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hayes 22. Armando Alejandro Estrada 21. Theodore R Long  unless I am missing something from times I havent seen I dont think those highlighted have any business in that list, if needs be I would have made it a top 20 I haven't seen much, but Teddy at least did manage for a few years in WCW (managing Doom, did he manage the Skyscrapers too) before joining WWE as a ref. Unsure if he was any good.  Hayes however didn't manage for that long, did he? He was involved as a manager in the Dangerous Alliance for a bit, then the Hardyz for a couple of months in 1999, but isn't that it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BionicRedneck Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Teddy Long was great. He should be higher if anything. I mark for The White Boy Challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Atkins Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm guessing they are counting Hayes as a manager of the Freebirds in the early 80s, which he really wasn't. Â He was never involved with the Dangerous Alliance, but he did manage Arn Anderson & Bobby Eaton after the Dangerous Alliance broke up. They billed it as the combination of the 3 best teams in history, the Horsemen, Midnight Express and Freebirds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm guessing they are counting Hayes as a manager of the Freebirds in the early 80s, which he really wasn't. This looks like it's a solely WWE list, so I'm guessing it's for his run with the Hardy Boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 15, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2011 As someone mentioned elsewhere, it's a crying shame Johnny Polo isn't in that list, but we know why that's the case. Â If he hadn't pissed off Vince, I'd have taken out Marlena and put him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
