DVD Reviews of WWE Presents The World's Greatest Wrestling Managers
DVD Review: Just about everyone you could think of is covered
Summary: 4 Stars
Another reviewer here complained that Missy Hyatt wasn't covered and that only WWE portions of manager's careers were shown (he listed Miss Elizabeth as an example). Missy is shown when the documentary talks about female managers paving the way for the whole WWE Diva phenom. Is her career profiled? No, but if you remember Missy was never with anyone long enough to develop a career worth talking about. And as for Miss Elizabeth's time in WCW not talked about or shown, again, that was a case where it wasn't long enough or even memorable enough to mention. This DVD discusses MANY managers in wrestling history (not just the few on the cover) and there's only so much time you can spend on everyone during a single disk DVD, so the WWE only included really memorable moments on this DVD, and I'm glad they did.
The documentary flows really well and includes some priceless and very memorable moments that any longtime fan will get a kick out of seeing. One interesting note, they gave Sunny her due (Tammy), but they also seemed to be getting back at her for the controversial comments she made about key players in the WWE on a recent shoot interview she did for RF Video.
The best profiles were Jim Cornette, Paul E. Dangerously and Bobby Heenan. No surprise that Heenan is saved for last, and Vince calls Bobby the greatest manager of all-time, hard to argue with that.
If you're hoping for tons of great extras, you'll be disappointed. There's some good stuff on here, but you'll blow thru it pretty quickly. The most noticable extras are "Fuji Vice" from the old TNT show and Mean Genes visit to the Hart Foundation. The 3 matches included are nothing to write home about. There is one really great extra from the AWA where Bobby Heenan is awarded the manager of the year award from PWI. This is a great in ring angle that makes me anxious for the release of the "Spectacular Legacy of the AWA" DVD set which comes out 11/21/06, I can't wait.
Overall, this is a good DVD release from WWE with an emphasis on the supporting characters who's job it was to put over the pro-wrestlers. Buy it only if you're interested in the WWE's documentaries.
