Who do u think is the Greatest English Manager of all time Dead or Alive.

Mine would have to be the late great Gorgeous George manager to Kendo Nagasaki, because he was so outragous and camp and he did'nt care what the people thought of him and he was so entertaining.

Apart from Kendo and George I don't think managers have ever had much importance in British Wrestling.

Its true, in relatively recent times the only managers that i can think of in the English scene are Lloyd Ryan, Saraya, Dean Ayass or Charlie 'The Gent' Mcgee....

The only other impact Manager(ess) I can recall was Princess Paula in the eighties when she accompanied her then husband Dave "Fit" Finlay around the country. I attended several cards where her interferrence in matches certainly helped Finlay to victories.

I was about to post a response here, but it turned into a huge article...check out the articles section for my view on managers in British wrestling.

My own personal top 5 all time faves:

1) Gorgeous George Gillette (Kendo Nagasaki)
Kendo's original manager and an original in so many other ways. Colourful, funny played the advisor role well between rounds, also an openly gay man with real Stonewall-type attitude who loved to wind up the bigoted section of the audience, and as such a truly courageous bloke. Rest in peace George.

2)Princess Paula (Dave Finlay, Tony Stewart)
Probably the most believable manager in British Wrestling. Her telling-offs to Finlay after he lost falls are the stuff of legend. A champion in her own right and also a good interviewer (check out her interview with Tony Stewart on the "Wrestling Madness" videotape.) Her Native American war bonnet remains one of the lasting images of the golden era of British Wrestling.

3)Doctor Monika Kaiser (Drew McDonald/Masked Spoiler, King Kendo)
I definitely think they should have let the Spoiler/KK team run for a lot longer - two sinister masked men with a female manager who knew how to both charm and anger a crowd simultaneously - hey maybe that's where WCW got the idea for Doom and Woman from!
Remember the time Dr Monica made Big Daddy bend over her knee and she slapped him on his arse in front of TV cameras? I can only imagine she got away with that 'cos big Shirley had some sort of perverted desire to have that done to him.

4)Lloyd Ryan (Kendo Nagasaki, Rock n Roll Express, King Kendo, Destiny)
One of the best talkers in the history of the UK business. Able to gain heat on his own accord rayther than just reflected off his protegés. Outgrew the "replacement for George" tag and later made a name for himself away from the shadows of Nagasaki.

5)Charlie McGee (Masked Marauders, Rockers, Kirk & Muir, Tiny Callaghan, Haystacks etc)
One of the most memorable mid '80s storylines. McGee, he of the goatee and Emperor Of India outfit, had a major chip on his shoulder about Big Daddy (didn't we all?) and sent combo after combo to destroy Big Shirley over a three year period 83-86. Finally ended up in the ring himself being squashed by the blond smug Yorkshireman as an Xmas special treat in '86, one episode prior to the first ever All-Star TV show.
