    Heenen really made it look like he was legit getting hurt yet made it look comical at the same time. He had it down to an art form. Although, I don't doubt when he was in there with Warrior, Warrior actually injured him. I really miss managers.

      Hellwig broke his neck and pretty much ended his ability to take bumps in the ring and at ringside with his recklessness and total incompetence as a wrestler. He nearly killed Bruce Prichard too in the final "Brother Love Show" segment.
      The asshole could do all of three moves - and none of them well or safe. Especially not his crappy clotheslines. And the absolutely vile things he said about Bobby Heenan, when he had cancer, are unforgivable.

      Heenan actually had in-ring experience, though. He was a semi-regular wrestler, at least in his early years before he was even in the WWF. Though, now that I looked at his article on Wikipedia, he said he was never trained but it came naturally to him.

      No one could have caught JC falling from that height.

    Speaking of injuries, I know Flair does a offset bump due to his back. One I question is AJ Styles taking a back drop. He gets so much height and split second rotation, it is just insane. For a guy who supposedly has a bad back, you'd never know it.
    Then again, it probably hurts like hell anyway.

    @chrisjamesr77 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I think Jimmy Hart is kinda underrated a little. I dunno, I never really see him mentioned often when people talk about the "best managers ever" or something like that, but he was definitely great at being a heel, like you always wanted to see someone get their hands on him, lol. And of course, there's the fact he composed a lot of iconic theme songs for wrestlers. If you were watching wrestling in the 80s and 90s, you were probably hearing songs that he wrote all the time...just to name one, HBK's "Sexy Boy"

    • @TheGilgameshepic
      @TheGilgameshepic 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I only ever really saw Hart in the WWF, but I think there it was more who he was paired with. There definitely seemed to be a "Manager Pecking Order" in the WWF - if you were a potential main eventer, or consistent upper midcarder, it would be Heenan,. Solid midcarders usually ended up with Hart or Slick, with Harvey Whippleman at the bottom of the barrel (unless they wanted to do a "huge monster and pipsqueak manager" visual as with Sid). Hart was great at winding up the crowd and his contribution to the theme music speaks for itself, but he seemed to thrive more as a ringside manager. I don't think his interjections into "client" promos were anywhere close to Heenan's level.

But the art also has me wondering how Corny & Jimmy Hart would have interacted, similar to Corny & the Jim Jones of pro wrestling Dangerously, better or worse? I do think if fans got this feud, with Vince's input, as much as I hate him, I'm betting the feud blowoff wouldn't have been the clusterfuck the 6-Man loser leaves NWA was.

    • @henrygvidonas9573
      @henrygvidonas9573 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Simple explanantion for this: Jim always took "arena bumps" that were easily visible and looked good from several rows back. He got all his training on the road at house shows. It can be a bit too much sometimes when it's shot from a few feet away with a camera at ringside or even with the camera man standing on the apron. Bumps that look good on the hard camera don't necessarily always look good on the ringside cameras either. And vice versa.
      It's like theatrical acting and screen acting. When you watch old movies from the 50s or 60s you can often tell who on screen had a long theatre career before they started getting into movies. The gestures are a bit to big, the facial expressions a bit too dramatic, and they project their voices too much for the rooms they're in. They were trained to convey what is going on in the scene to the back rows of a theatre, not to a camera that's 5 ft away.
