Awesome ending

I miss the days when there was a lot more managers in wrestling.

Don’t forget Paul Heyman managed one of the best stables ever, The Dangerous Alliance: Rick Rude, Stunning Steve Austin, Bobby Eaton, Arn Anderson, Larry Zbyszko and Madusa!

Thanks for coming by! What a fun one this was! Here are the winners so far going to Season 2 of the Champions Rumble 1. Dog the Bounty Hunter 2. Big Bubba Roger's 3. Lamar Jackson 4. Sonic 5. Chester Cheetah 6. ???

Good video. Here's some other old school managers that could have been it Sir William- He managed William Regal in the 90s in WCW Robert Parker- Managed the Stud Stable in WCW Gary Hart- Managed the Great Muta in WCW in the late 80s as well as being a manager in WCCW. Diamond Dallas Page actually was a manager in the early 90s managed the Diamond Studd ( Scott Hall) in WCW as well as Bad Company (Pat Tanaka & Paul Diamond) in the AWA Lou E. Dangerously- Managed the new Dangerous Alliance in ECW James Mitchell- Manged Abyss in TNA as well as managing Kanyon as Mortis and Brian Clark when he was Wrath in WCW as well as Mikey Whipwreck and Tajiri in ECW

10 more managers you could've had were Frenchy Martin, Skandor Akbar, Gary Hart, Harley Race, Bill Alfonso, Mr. Hughes, James Mitchell, Col. Robert Parker, Zeb Colter and Sonny Onoo.

Virgil is going through some tough times. He was diagnosed with early stages of dementia around WrestleMania weekend and now has started a go fund me as he's also been diagnosed with colon cancer. Hang in there Virgil .......we love you.

If my memory is correct, Classy Freddie Blassie managed Hulk Hogan during his first WWF run. He later went on to manage The Iron Shiek and Nicholi Volkoff.

I really enjoy your enthusiasm in the commentary, it's what really makes these videos, keep up the good work Ricky J!

Glad that Virgil got the respect in the virtual world that WWE doesn't show him. Ellering managed the Legend of Doom & the Authors of Pain

Ted Dibiase was also a manager in the mid 90s with his Million Dollar stable of King Kong Bundy, Nikolai Volkoff, Bam Bam, Tatanka, etc

Jimmy Hart and Bobby Heenan is a very fitting start!

I posted on a comment over in the members only thing, before I realized it was like from a year ago. I'm not sure if you'll even see that. But in it, I said a bunch of stuff about watching for a little while and how much I enjoy it and all sorts of stuff. The reason I'm commenting on here now is so that I can give you my idea. I searched mortal Kombat characters last night and found that there are a lot of them. More than 30. So I downloaded 30 of them and created a rumble and it was absolutely amazing. Kano ended up winning my rumble. But there are multiples of each character, and there's at least one of each one that is absolutely amazing looking, so it was a real sight to see, all really good accurate looking mortal Kombat characters all duking it out. So that is my suggestion and I think it would go over really well. Love the content brother, so much. Can't wait for the next video!

Paul Ellering managed the Road Warriors, I'm so surprised at you Ricky. They're one of your favs. I can only surmise you were overcome with Nostalgia. Can't blame you, it was a blast seeing the managers from days of old and new sluggin' it out.

Fun rumble. Was kind of hoping for Blassie by the end there. Here’s a list of managers you can use for this rumble next time: Ted Debiase (became a manager after retirement) Jado and Gedo (long time managers of Bullet Club) Rocky Romero (Was once manager for Ropongi 3k) James Mitchell (manager from ECW & TNA) Sonny Onoo (Managed Japanese wrestlers in WCW) Col. Robert Parker (managed Sid Vicious in WCW) And as a special request, the late co-host of WrestleCrap Radio, Blade Braxton who managed a stable called The Rose Garden behind the mask of his alter ego; The Midnight Rose.

Luscious Johnny Valliant managed Brutus Beefcake, Greg the Hammer Valentine, Dino Bravo and Demolition over a few years in the 80's.

Love these…..as a fan of wrestling when there were still the territories, it would have been great to have seen these managers as well: Gary Hart, Paul Jones, Baby Doll, Precious, the Grand Wizard, Kevin Sullivan

You are the man brother! My heart was for Paul Bearer(RIP)! I have always gone with the underdogs in all sports some were winners but most losing just coming up short. Once again thank you Ricky you keep making my day all the time! Take care and can’t wait for the next rumble!🇨🇦😎🤼‍♂️✌️

For someone who NEVER won ANYTHING, this was HUGE for Virgil!!!

I DIED, no pun intended, when you did the Paul Bearer impression! Lmmfao! Great video brother!

THE MANAGERS'S HEARTS ARE HUGE JAJAJAJAJA

Ted DiBiase became a manager after his retirement you also forgot Sonny ono Colonel Robert Parker and Curt hennan he once managed the nature boy Ric Flair in WWE during flares WWE title run

Awesome videos! You've become my favorite because of your fun, exciting commentary on your rumble videos. I'm excited to see your next and what fun it is to watch. Thank you for the entertainment and the hard work you put into your videos 👏 watching you control a character is the best, Carl Winslow haha keep it up! Last thing, my request would be 90s cartoon characters, Arnold vs Gerald vs Doug vs Rugrats and so on. THANK YOU! PS. Your MachoMan impression make my day 😅

Another fun video. I knew every manager except Armand Estrada. Over the years, I've seen a few in person. Oliver Humperdink (Florida 1976) and Paul Heyman (ECW 1994/5) managing, as well as Classie Freddie Blassie (1974) and J.J. Dillin (1986) WRESTLING! Those kinds of memories will never fade. 😎

The Heyman playing possum part was brilliant

My favorite show to watch!! Love all these rumbles!! Thankyou Ricky J!!!

A lot of these guys were wrestlers themselves including Blassie , Heenan , Hart , Fuji and Albano . All four I mentioned have actually held titles for instance Fuji who held the WWWF tag team titles 5 times 3 with Professor Tanaka and 2 with Mr Saito . Virgil wasn't a manager he was bodyguard/assistant to Ted DiBiase . Surprised not to see The Grand Wizard , Afa or DiBiase for that matter . The Grand Wizard managed wrestlers who were a bit before my time but Afa was manager for his relatives The Headshrinkers , DiBiase was manager of The Million Dollar Corporation from 1994 to 1996 . How about Skandar Akbar , The Baron (manager of Powers of Pain) and General Adnan manager of Sergeant Slaughter , Colonel Parker/Tenesse Lee , Superstar Graham manager of Don Muraco , Frenchy Martin manager of Dino Bravo , Johnny Valiant manager of The Dream Team , Johnny Polo manager of The Quebecers or even DDP ?

Can I just say my favourite part of these videos is your genuine enjoyment of commenting. You sound like you smile whilst doing it is great. Keep it up ☺☺☺

Fun stuff as always..my nostalgia fix was hoping to see the Grand Wizard, one of my all time favorite managers...

The Managers Rumble was a delight! Sad not to see Rico (3 Minute Warning), Jackal (Truth Commission), Clarence Mason (He was kinda obscure but he was with Nation of Domination for a while), or Kim Chee (Kamala's Manager). lol...

Oh man I almost pee’d myself when Slick came out hahahahahaha fantastic just fantastic!!

I remember the genius with the Beverly Brothers. And jimmy hart always had his jacket matching the team he was managing.

Always loved it, when back in the heyday of managers, a manager would interfere and get his butt kicked all over the place.

# 1. A true legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #2. won a Battle Royale in 1986. # 3. Was a manager in WCW. #4. was a manager in WCW in the 1980s and WWF in the 1990s. #5. is likely one of the only persons to be a tag team champion and later manage a world champion. #6. was never realllllllly a manager, at least in WCW. #7. managed a Perfect wrestler and an "okay" tag team. #8. Believe it or not, he managed Hulk Hogan in the late 1970s. #9. Never heard of him!!!!!!!! ( My knowledge starts to die in the 2000s.) # 10. He was a manager in 1999!!!!!!!!? # 11. Came to the WWF in 1992. #12. Who did he manage, beside Bam Bam Bigelow? #13. How wrestlers did he manage ( besides Kamala and Sid)? #14. Managed the 4 Horsemen!!!!!!!! I do not think he was ever a part of the WWF/WWE. #15. He managed DOOM, in WCW, in 1990. #16. He was a manager AND a wrestler. R.I.P.. #17. He managed several tag teams ( 17?) to the WWWF/WWF tag team champion belts. #18. A CLASSIC WWF personality!!!!!!! #19. A well-known manager. Just look at his name!!!!! # 20. I am soooooooooooooooo glad he got to be the Rumble.

You know this does make me nostalgic but it also kind of makes me sad to see how mangers have passed on

U did it...u gave us a manager's rumble....u ARE THE MAN

Was surprised when Teddy came out the match didn't change to a tag match.

Thought Reverend Slick didn’t make an appearance, but I just got distracted from someone talking to me when he came in, so I didn’t notice him until he was (unfortunately) eliminated. Lol. Awesome Rumble, as always. You da man, Ricky!!!

Wow what a great trip down memory lane. I was rooting for The Brain. No doubt he was the best. The stuff he did with Gorilla Monsoon on Prime Time Wrestling is just pure gold. Thanks for the awesome content Ricky.

Ricky J getting so excited he almost dropped an f-bomb! I don't really remember the managers from when I used to watch, this was a great one!

Always love these videos! Ricky, mate, you missed a calling as a wrestling commentator, no joke. I missed it: were Paul Ellering, Lou Albano, or Gary Hart in this one? Pity if no. Might've been fun to throw Vince Russo in there, people would've enjoyed watching him take a beating. :D Still, this was fun. I guess there were more managers who could've been included but they would have seemed obscure, maybe, or might not have been available in the game.

some forgotten managers the Baron managed the Powers of Pain, Billy Graham managed Don Muroco, Frenchie Martin managed Dino Bravo, the Jackyl managed the Truth Commission (and the Network(in ECW) the Sinister Minister, Bill Alfonso, Ted Dibiase (managed the ring master Steve Austin, Curt Henig, Consultant for the real world champion Ric Flair

I think many other people commented on some more managers but here's also a few I can think of as well: Bill Alfonzo, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Bob Backlund, Kevin Sullivan, Tazz, Gangrel, Rico, Devari, Dutch Mantel, Hillbilly Jim, Vern Gagne and Simon Dean Those were off the top of my head. There probably are tons more and we didn't mention all the female managers also. On a side note, I really dig the series and have been watching some of season 1. 👋 finally hit the subscribe button and turned on the bell as well.

Would of loved to seen Horn Swoggle in the mix lol! Great rumble!

You missed Jonny Valentine Harley Race managed Vader in wcw Rick Rude managed DX Shiek Adnon The grand Wizard Arn Anderson managed the final 4 Horsemen Clarence Mason Gary Heart from WCCW Gangrel Managed the Brood Paul Jones from early 80s NWA

Another great one, Ricky. I swear if you did an 3 hour episode of Monday Night RAW in 2K22, I’d watch that over a regular episode of raw, brother! I kept expecting Kamala’s handler, Kimchi, to show up, but alas. Awesome final two for the manager’s rumble, though!

Definitely showing my age on this one. I know of one from the days of Classy Freddie Blassie. He was called "The Grand Wizard". That dude was genius! Keep up the great videos Ricky!

This was great. Very fun. You should do a Royal Rumble of all the wrestlers that Ricky J has played in Royal Rumbles once you have played in 30 Rumbles.

Keep the rumbles coming I love watching them

Ricky just be chillin' this go around looool

I know you cannot include everyone, but Luscious Johnny Valiant was a bummer omission! He is from a wrestling family and managed my fav tag team of the early WWF era, THE DREAM TEAM! Beefcake & Valentine. Oh well, this was still so much fun to watch

Wrestling Vs. (other) Sports managers might have been fun here for a 30. this was a nice stroll down memory lane though, like you said

Yes! Was waiting for slick!

Awesome beginning

Soul Train Jones! If you decide to do another manager rumble! Johnny Polo is one to add

Man Ricky you really crack me up.

EVERYBODY HAS A PRICE FOR THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN. AND VIRGIL WAS THE MAN WHO MADE SURE THEY GOT A RECEIPT. 😁😁😁😁😁😁 Nice one. Season 2 has been great so far.

jimmy valiant, johnny polo, edge, steven richards, mr perfect, there are a few u missed but great match.

Thats a great jimmy hart 😂😂😂😂

The first televised Royal Rumble match(January 1988) was a 20-man Rumble. It expanded to 30 men in 1989.

You should have themed content to last through season three 👍🏽 😆 keep this good content going man.

It was still fun to watch!

To answer your question, Eric Bischoff did manage in WWE, he was the manager of 3 Minute Warning (Rosey & Jamal). And, in addition to the Undertaker, Brother Love also managed the short-lived tag team the Sisters of Love (who later became the Headbangers). I’m so glad you had Humperdinck and Estrada in there. Other managers I’d love to see: Grand Wizard, Sonny Onoo, MVP, Tony Atlas, Frenchy Martin, Skandor Akbar, Tennessee Lee, and Bill Alfonso.

Great idea and great match. Would have loved to have seen Paul Bearer Vs. Persey Pringle. You Pencil Neck Geek!!! LOL

Love it Ricky J !!!

That was cool. You know what would be nice. A nice attitude era of rumble badarse. From Stone Cold, the Rock & all of the Hart's, yes even Pillman. To some of the minor ones like Shamrock, Marc Mero. Of course the Dgen X. Keep up the Good work

Well I can think of a few more managers, Harley Race managed Vader in WCW, Rick Rude managed after injured, Mr. Perfect managed Ric Flair in WWF while perfect was injured, General Adnan managed Sgt Slaughter and Colonel Mustaga(iron shiek) during the Iraqi slaughter angle,

The winner makes sense. You even called it.

I've been waiting for this one

Thanks Ricky for always making my day better

More managers you could add/create: Jose Lathereo(Shawn Michael's mentor) Col. Robert Parker(Robert Fuller) Sir William who managed Regal in WCW Paul Jones from NWA days The Grand Wizard Dutch Mantel Frenchy Martin Luscious Johnny Valiant Kimchee

Thank U Ricky I was waiting for that

This was a very good one. Especially the comeback of Virgil.

"That's DOCTOR Harvey Wimpleman"

A few names that were missed. Bill Alfonso (ECW but still, a good one) Sinister Minister Gary Hart Zeb Coulter Ricardo Rodriguez (a ring announcer but Virgil was also just a bodyguard but later managed RVD) Jose Lethario (HBK) Ted DiBease General Adnan Kim Chee Bob Backlund (The Sultan)

Love the rumbles! Great stuff!

I once saw Michael Hayes wrestle back in 1991 when he was part of the Fabulous Freebirds. They wrestled the Steiner Brothers. Wrestling is so much better live.

Love all your videos!!

woop woop! Go Virgil, another great rumble, thanks Ricky J

Nice! I was KIND OF expecting The Grand Wizard and Bill Alfonso. A cool entry would have also been Mick from Rocky. (I know, I know, he's not a WRESTLING manager. But I could reach for an argument and say that he "technically" managed Rocky once in a wrestling bout against Hulk Hogan as Thunderlips in Rocky III, and that would have made for an acceptable entry into this Rumble 🤔

Dude your the ultimate!!!

Jimmy Hart was like that at summerslam 92 with nasty boys and the mountie vs hack saw Jim duggen and bushwhackers. You know Jimmy Hart wrote and sang most of the 90s ring tunes

Long comment here. Great video. You could have made a 30 man Rumble as you missed Afa(managed his sons in 1993) Bill Alfonso,(ecw managed RvD, sabu, Taz) Clarence Mason (managed Nation of Domination in 1997) The Coach(Managed Mr Perfect after Bobby Heenan) Col Robert Parker (WCW manager in mid 90s) Dutch Mantel (Managed Bradshaw, Harris Brothers and Jack Swagger) Frenchie Martin (Rougeau brothers manager) (Gary Hart and Grand Wizard big names in the 70s and 80s) Kim Chee (Kamalas manager) Ralphus (Norman Smiley/Chris Jericho) Rico (Billy and Chuck and 3Minute warning) Scott Dmore (Team canada in tna) Sinister Minister in ECW (Father James Mitchell in tna and also wcw) Sonny Ono (WCW manager for japanese taleny and earnest the Cat) and Ted Dibiase (managed the million dollar corporation in 1994/95

Been going back and watching old WWF/E Rumbles since you first started this a few months ago. I'm up to the 2007 Rumble.

Heenan also managed possibly the greatest of all time, Ric Flair.

I loved it. I hated Hennan being at 1. Since I live in Texas, I was hoping to see Skandar Akbar but no such luck. I also thought of Colonel Tom Parker, who man aged Jeff Jarrett in WCW.

i love your vids they always put a smile on my face was wondering are you going to design a belt for the winner of the final rumble?

Paul Heyman and Freddie Blassie definitely deserve another shot coming in the first seven and making into the top 6/top 2

Bischoff was basically Hollywood Hogan’s manager at times with the NWO.

Cant wait for the talk show host rumble and the sitcom rumble??

Paul Orndorff was "Mr. Wondeful". The "Red Rooster" was Terry Taylor.

I was pulling for Blassie at the end. Another great rumble.

I used to love how Armando Alejandro Estrada used to say his name. I heard he was asked not to do that anymore cause it was getting over (hearsay)

Other managers: Mr. McMahon (The Corporation), Shan McMahon (The Rock and Umaga), The Jackyl (Truth Commission), Iron Sheik (Sgt Slaughter and The Sultan), Honkeytonk Man (Road Dogg), Harley Race (Vader and Lex Luger), Damien Kane (The Headhunters), Clarence Mason (Kanyon), Bob Backlund (Kurt Angle), Bill Alfonso (RVD), Byron Saxton (Wade Barrett), Jake Roberts (Lance Archer), Johnny Valiant (Brutus Beefcake and Hulk Hogan), Kevin Sullivan (Cactus jack), Magnum TA (Dusty Rhodes), Billy Graham (Don Muraco), The Wizard (Kamala), Vince Russo (David Flair), Triple H (Seth Rollins and The Authority), Tommy Rich (FBI), Tiger Ali Sigh (Lo Down), Ted Dibiase (IRS and Steve Austin), Steve Corino (Rhino), Sign Guy Dudley (The Dudley Brothers), Shawn Daivari (Kurt Angle and Mark Henry), Scott Hall (Ricky Ortiz), Road Dogg (Jeff Jarrett), Rico (Billy and Chuck), Rick Rude (DX), Ric Flair (Roddy Piper, Evolution, and Charlotte Flair), Johnny Polo (Adam Bomb), Max Muscle (DDP), Matt Striker (Tyson Kidd and Big Daddy V), Lord Zoltan (Abdullah the Butcher), Jonathan Coachman (Al Snow), Jimmy Del Ray (The Heavenly Bodies), Jason Knight (The Impact Players), Disco Inferno (The Mamalukes), Afa (The Headshrinkers), Sonny King (The Samoans), John Tolos (Mr. Perfect), Ivan Koloff (Nikita Koloff), Hillbilly Jim (The Godwinns), Frenchy Martin (Dino Bravo), Bill Dundee (William Regal), Baron von Raschke (Powers of Pain), Adnan Al-Kaissie (Sgt Slaughter)

This is the first and only time Lonely Virgil got respect .

I know Paul Ellering manage 3 of tag teams. That was the Road Warriors/Legion of Doom in NWA. The Disciples of Apocalypse with Skull & 8 Ball in 1998. And The Authors of Pain "Akam & Rezar" in NXT 2016 before they betray Paul Ellering since their debut on Raw in April 2018 after they win against Heath Slater & Rhino.

I was pulling for "The Mouth from the South" but overall, a very good rumble!

10 more managers? - Ricardo Rodriguez (Alberto Del Rio) - Ted DiBiase (Fake Taker) - Ranjin Singh (Great Khali) - Dutch Mantel (Jack Swagger) - Hillbilly Jim (Godwins) - Kevin Sullivan (One Man Gang?) - Bob Backlund (Darren Young) - Col. Robert Parker (Jeff Jarret) - Iron Sheik (The Sultan) - Tully Blanchard (FTR)

I went to a lot of the Maple Leaf Wrestling tapings when they taped their episodes at the Brantford Civic Center
