Wrestling Manager Nominees


Welcome to the first nomination thread for the 1st Annual TPWW Wrestling Hall Of Fame Voting.


The nominations you see here were selected by 11 members of the TPWW Wrestling Forum Committee; Myself, BDC, KOOS, Xero, mrslackalack, NeanderCarl, Loopydate, WWKD, KayfabeMan, Rob and James Steele.


We each selected 4 nominees for each respected category.


The Categories were as follows: Top Level Wrestler, Mid Level Wrestler, Tag Team, Manager and Misc (i.e someone who has contributed a lot to the business that may not fall in the other categories)


Now we pass the torch to the TPWW Community to help elect our first Hall of Famer from this Category. There will be four other categories to follow, in which four more electees will be chosen, completing are Class of 2007


Please cast ONE Vote for this category. At voting close, the top 3 guys will move on to the Final voting for the Veterans Committee. From there, the committee will have a final vote to elect our 1st TPWW Hall of Famer from this category.

So, Let the Voting Begin

[Loose Cannon]

voting opened

[Loose Cannon]

land slide coming

[KingofOldSchool]

If I knew it would be THIS bad, I would've placed my vote for Blassie.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Wasted vote

[Loose Cannon]

I'm thinking for these situations, there should be no need for another final vote by the comittee. No point.

[FourFifty]

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?! ONLY ONE VOTE FOR FREDDIE BLASSIE!?!?!?!?

[Anybody Thrilla]

People love Freddie Blassie. But people REALLY love Bobby Heenan.

This is the kind of thing I was talking about, LC.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Gotta consider the mean age of posters here.

[The Fugitive]

Not much love for Corny.

I also have to wonder if any of those votes for Heenan are the result of someone remembering his announcing career and not his managerial.

[Anybody Thrilla]

The Heenan Family was gold.

[FourFifty]

Okay, so who is the better manager? The man who pissed people off so badly that they yelled and chanted mean things, or the man who pissed people off so badly people stabbed him, threw acid on him, lit his car on fire, and stabbed him again?

[Loose Cannon]

People love Freddie Blassie. But people REALLY love Bobby Heenan.

This is the kind of thing I was talking about, LC.

yes, I know. I not saying I don't disagree with you on how the votes will turn out. But it's fair to have a mix of wrestling history at least on the ballots as to not skew anything. one of the reasons I wanted WWKD on the committe was he has a great Japanese background on wrestling history.

Maybe some people here might learn something new.

[The Fugitive]

So if a wrestling personality is desired dead over another, he's obviously the better of the two? Is that seriously your argument?

[FourFifty]

Freddie Blassise could make heat even if he was stuck in a solid block of ice (worst metaphor ever). Anyone that was near him would be over. Don't misunderstand, much love to Bobby the Brain and everything he has done, and everything he still does, but I was only going to compaire Blassie to whomever had to most votes.
The Brain is awesome, and is seriously one of a kind. With that in mind, and with all due respect, he's no Freddie Blassie.

[Anybody Thrilla]

People (wrestling fans in particular) were also a lot dumber in the days of Freddie Blassie. If Heenan were around then, who's to say people wouldn't have wanted to kill him?

[FourFifty]

Same thing with Hulkamania, The Austin Era, and WCW's downfall.
It's all a matter of timimg.

I'm not saying that people wouldn't want to kill Bobby. And until we can find a "What If" machine, we'll never know what would have happened if we invtend the thinglonger.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I invented it, but I'm not sharing, because I don't like your attitude right now. :mad:

[Anybody Thrilla]

SPOILER: Went back and time and people wanted to kill Bobby Heenan.

[Jordan]

I voted for Sunny cause she is hot.

[NeanderCarl]

People (wrestling fans in particular) were also a lot dumber in the days of Freddie Blassie. If Heenan were around then, who's to say people wouldn't have wanted to kill him?

Read his book. Heenan had major heat. I'd say nearly if not definitely comparable to Blassie's.

He was around before his WWF days, dontchewknow?

[Mooияakeя™]

Well, Heenan. He owns.

Though I think we can accomodate a few more in time with ease!

[SammyG]

I voted for good ol Jimmy Hart

[Loose Cannon]

Heenan hit 20. Well deserved.

[weather vane]

Should of put women and managers together...

You cannot induct one of each every time.

[Rob]

Who the fuck voted for the man beast?

[Loose Cannon]

Should of put women and managers together...

You cannot induct one of each every time.

there's no women category

[KingofOldSchool]

I can't believe Heyman got more votes than Blassie or Roth.

[Loose Cannon]

and that's exactly why I personally wanted a committe of guys who know wrestling history. You can see why in every one of the threads. Can you imagine the nominees had there not been?

[Boondock Saint]

lol @ a vote for Chyna.

Went with Heenan.

[Dorkchop]

Aaaaaaaaaand it's a landslide

[KingofOldSchool]

I can believe CHYNA has more votes than The Grand Wizard of Wrestling.

[Sepholio]

I love Heenan, but for me it came down to Jimmy Hart and Paul Bearer. Figured this one would have been a little closer, really.

Either way, Percy.

[The One]

Heenan Pwns All!

[James Steele]

Did anybody actually think Heenan wouldn't win by an assload? I am more shocked by the "weird votes" than Heenan whipping that ass.

[Vastardikai]

I knew the Brain was getting a shitload of votes, so I went with my second choice: James E. Cornette.

[The One]

I will say I am shocked JJ only has one vote.

[Boondock Saint]

I was torn between JJ and Heenan...flipped a coin.

[loopydate]

I will say I am shocked JJ only has one vote.

It was me, and he wasn't even on my nominees list. Sad to say, he didn't occur to me when I was making it.

Speaking of the nominees lists, LC, are you still planning on posting everyone's TT and Manager nominees like you did for the Top Level category?

[311]

J.J. Dillon was money but I think Heenan is a clear choice. J.J. might come soon after, though. :y:

[James Steele]

I was the only one who nominated JJ Dillon? Heh.

[Azriel]

Heenan's pretty much won this

[The One]

I can't believe how many votes Heyman has, people will vote for him for about anything won't they?

[McLegend]

It's not over yet.

Mr. Fuji is gonna make a run.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I would vote Bobby Heenan for sexiest diva, given the chance.

[loopydate]

Because I was bored, I went through and tallied the number of times each nominee appeared on a ballot. Heenan was a unanimous nominee among the eleven committee members. Freddie Blassie was the only other manager to be named on over half of the ballots. Paul Bearer, Jim Cornette, and Jimmy Hart each appeared on four. The remaining ten only received one or two nominations.

[hitman23]

Wheres Paul Ellering?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Wheres Paul Ellering?

I actually considered adding him, but I didn't.

[Road Warrior]

Heenan was the clear choice, but I threw in a vote for "The Mouth of the South".

[Rob]

I can't believe how many votes Heyman has, people will vote for him for about anything won't they?

Dangerous Alliance and 2 world champions in the WWF not enough of a reason?

[DrA]

I am quite disappointed to see that Ralphus is not a nominee.
