Your lovable group of misfit wrestling readers is back again, this time to talk about one of the most beloved and reviled figures in professional wrestling--managers.Existing somewhere in the hinterlands between a sports agent, a boxing trainer, and a hip-hop hypeman, the manager is an extension of a wrestler's character. The manager eloquently speaks for his or her client, instigates feuds, illegally intervenes when the ref is not looking, and generally serves as a catalyst for chaos.  We kick it off by trying to define the somewhat nebulous role of the manager. "What would you say...you do here?" Dave talks about the manager as an extension of a wrestler's character, and Chris suggests that being a manager is an act of care--speaking on the mic to help develop a character and make it work. Noell sees the role as one of crowd interaction, getting the viewers hyped up about the narrative happenings. As part of this question, we talk about a range of managers, including "Classy" Freddie Blassie, "Captain" Lou Albano, Don Callis, Gary Hart, Jimmy Hart, Woman (Nancy Benoit), and Reginald (the Sommelier). On Jimmy Hart, Chris notes how you always believed he was working for his client--to the point where he would be wearing a blazer with his client's face airbrushed on the back!--and strove to be "punchable" as would Noell put it. We also talk about how Nancy Benoit is believed to be the first female manager (versus other roles like a valet or handler). Noell's History Corner takes us back once again to the beginning, to the period at the infancy of modern wrestling known as The Pioneer Era (c. 1898-1942). We discuss Billy Sandow (the namesake of the former Damien Sandow) and his role as an early manager, doing  real-world work like making sure his clients, including Ed "The Strangler" Lewis, got paid. In the 1930s, Frank Smith, who managed Jim Browning, was also a writer for The Chicago Tribune. We close up the show with our favorite moments that were built around a manager's performance. Dave takes us back to Bob Backlund and the baggage created when his manager threw in the towel on him. Noell brings us to a favorite moment, when the star-bedecked Miss Elizabeth runs into the ring to save the Macho Man from Sensational Sherri's ire and reignite their romance. And Chris brings us to the second greatest betrayal of all time, which involved the Undertaker and Paul Bearer. We hope we managed to pull off a good episode for you, and we would love to hear from you on Twitter or via email with your picks for best manager!

On this week’s episode of The PWR Podcast....We take you back to January 14, 2018 episode 18… The boys reviewed the 1st ever WWF Staurday Night’s Main Event! “The Professor” Chabelo Vera Cruz, Tommy Wonder one of the PWR originals "Mr. Gimmick” Travis Veoltz relive this classic WWF/E event!Saturday Night's Main Event, debuted on May 11, 1985 in the late-night time slot normally assigned to reruns of the NBC sketch comedy Saturday Night Live. Saturday Night's Main Event is a sports entertainment television program that was produced by the World Wrestling Federation (now known as WWE). Premiering in 1985, the program originally aired on NBC as an occasional replacement for Saturday Night Live on its weekend broadcast schedule. The program aired on an infrequent basis on NBC until 1991, then aired twice on Fox in 1992 before coming to an end. At the time of the original airing, it was a rare example of professional wrestling being broadcast on an over-the-air commercial television network after the 1950s. It coincided with and contributed to the apogee of the "second golden age" of professional wrestling in the United States. In a time when weekly programming consisted primarily of established stars dominating enhancement talent, Saturday Night's Main Event was made up almost entirely of star vs. star bouts, including title matches and specialty matches such as steel cage matches, handicap matches, etc. When WWE's flagship show, Raw returned to the USA Network in 2005, Saturday Night's Main Event was revived in 2006 as a "special series" to air on occasion on NBC as part of a deal between WWE and NBC Universal. The Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brand rosters were featured on the show.On this historic cardyou will hear about these awesome matches!Barry Windham, Mike Rotundo & Ricky Steamboat (w/Captain Lou Albano) vs. George Steele, Nikolai Volkoff & The Iron Sheik (w/Freddie Blassie)!

This week we take advantage of Jerry Jarrett's unique perspective as a young NWA member going back to the 70's to get his perspective on all the big names of the era. From Bruno Sammartino, to Sam Mushnick, Stu Hart, Danny Hodge, Wahoo McDaniel, Roy Shire, Mark Lewin, Haystack Calhoun, Freddie Blassie, and so many more.

Not a lot to work with on this episode of HDTGB which covers, My Breakfast with Blassie. So, this podcast episode contains more substance than this movie??? Heck, this episode of HDTGB has a longer run time than My Breakfast with Blassie. In fact Zane & Jake have a far more in depth conversation about hand washing than Andy Kaufman & Freddie Blassie in this movie??? Mostly because Jake & Zane's hand washing conversation details the hygiene habits of a certain $5 Wrestling superstar.As always for corrections tweet at Jake @manscoutmanning or email him at Jake@SSLShow.com.

December 21st, 1998: Vince McMahon leaves the arena to go train for the Royal Rumble, and so he leaves his son Shane in charge for the night. However, that may prove to be a mistake as an out-of-his-element Shane ends up booking himself into his very first wrestling match against Mankind. Triple-H & X-Pac team up to face The Rock and a man who is also making his in-ring debut: Test! Mark Henry & D'Lo Brown are scheduled to face The Headbangers, but "Sexual Chocolate" may not be able to resist the advances of Terri Runnels and Jacqueline. Ken Shamrock puts his Intercontinental Title on the line against "Badd Ass" Billy Gunn.... or does he? WWF Hardcore Champion The Big Boss Man squares off with "The Road Dogg" in what is supposed to be a non-title match, but Jesse James may be able to convince him to put the belt up for grabs. Five weeks after being pushed off the TitanTron, Road Warrior Hawk returns to the WWF and reveals some dark secrets about his relationship with Droz. Even though The Blue Blazer was unmasked last week, the caped superhero returns to seek revenge on Steve Blackman. Gangrel steps into the ring with Al Snow, and a post-match "bloodbath" may cause Al to go completely insane (well okay, more than usual). The Acolytes take on J.O.B. Squad members Bob Holly & Scorpio in what turns out to be the final "Raw" match for the man formerly known as Flash Funk. Plus, Jeff Jarrett rants about what pisses him off, "Classy" Freddie Blassie dresses up as a perverted mall Santa Claus for some reason, and The Corporation shockingly adds a new member to its growing ranks! Meanwhile in WCW, we get the final episode of "Nitro" before the controversial "Starrcade 1998" pay-per-view, with the highlight of the show being Scott Steiner mocking someone for using steroids (yes, seriously).

It's another pay-per-view week, as the guys break down Payback, despite The Main Event being late to the show. It's ok though, as another Washington player, linebacker Trent Murphy, picks up the slack as a guest picker. They ask if Seth Rollins needs the win over Samoa Joe, if Bayley should drop the title in her hometown, and what the hell is a House of Horrors match. In segment 2 (35:00) they shift over to Smackdown, and look at the big win by Tyler Breeze and Fandango. What does that win say about the state of Smackdown's tag division, and is it a step in the right direction? Plus, Nakamura's odd segment, Rusev's decision to hold out before a title shot, and Jinder Mahal stealing the WWE title. In segment 3 (1:09:30) they're joined by NFL and DC-area legend, Doc Walker. He talks about growing up watching wrestlers like Freddie Blassie and Mil Mascaras, and getting to see Braun Strowman dump the ambulance a few weeks ago. He talks about some of the guys he tried to get into wrestling, including some Redskins legends, and why he likes to see guys move from football to wrestling. After the OG leaves, the guys wrap up by talking about CM Punk on MTV, Mauro Ranallo's departure from WWE, and they cast Vince McMahon's biopic.
