The majority of wrestling fans who remember seeing King Curtis Iaukea would remember him as the mouthpiece for Kamala during his 1987 run and later as the figurehead leader of the unintentionally comical Dungeon of Doom in the mid 90’s.  Prior to his managing stint, Iaukea was one of the most feared wrestlers and wreaked havoc in various promotions in the 60’s and 70’s.

It was certainly no misnomer when Brian Knobs and Jerry Sags dubbed their team The Nasty Boys.  They looked and wrestled the part and while you wouldn’t see a wrestling clinic when they competed, you would certainly see a match that was well…..nasty.

For all intensive purposes the last important manager in the WWE of note, Paul Bearer was not just a successful on air manager for the WWE, he was one of its more unique characters as well.  Prior to joining Vince and company, Bearer was an unsuccessful wrestler who would achieve greater fame as manager known as Percy Pringle.  The Pringle character was a rich flamboyant persona common to many managers of that day.   When he joined Vince and company, he did a major character turn and became a Halloween come to life persona of Paul Bearer.  It was a perfect pairing with the Undertaker, and for the next fourteen years, the Paul Bearer character would be in the corner of some of the greatest main eventers that the promotion had to offer.  Considering how one dimensional Paul Bearer originally was, the fact that William Moody was able to give additional layers to a character is a testament to his ability.  Paul Bearer remains on good terms with the organization and considering that the great managers of the 80’s are in, the top manager of the 90’s could have a shot too.

Nowadays, a fan pandering “good guy” might struggle to gain fan approval, but we have a feeling that even with the outdated Hillbilly gimmick, Jim Morris (Hillbilly Jim) could still get over as a face.
