Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,401 --> 00:00:02,736
You listen to me,
you go to the top.
2
00:00:03,336 --> 00:00:06,773
You don't listen to me, you're
never heard from again.
3
00:00:07,073 --> 00:00:08,508
Devious.
4
00:00:08,508 --> 00:00:09,976
Scheming.
5
00:00:09,976 --> 00:00:12,612
We rule the world of
professional wrestling.
6
00:00:12,612 --> 00:00:13,780
Manipulative.
7
00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:14,915
Everything from now on
will be on my terms.
8
00:00:15,615 --> 00:00:16,883
Behind some of
the greatest superstars
9
00:00:16,883 --> 00:00:18,251
is a powerful manager.
10
00:00:18,652 --> 00:00:23,423
I can spot the
next big thing.
11
00:00:24,257 --> 00:00:25,859
More than just a
mouthpiece advocating
12
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:28,295
for their client, a wrestling
manager can be a crucial
13
00:00:28,295 --> 00:00:32,032
element that will secure a
victory by any means necessary.
14
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,534
Oh, you saw
that.
15
00:00:34,534 --> 00:00:35,969
He has no business out there.
16
00:00:35,969 --> 00:00:38,038
Today we look
back at some of the most iconic
17
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:40,874
manager moments in professional
wrestling history.
18
00:00:41,274 --> 00:00:43,076
Oh, yes.
19
00:00:43,543 --> 00:00:45,979
This is WWE's
Greatest Moments.
20
00:00:47,214 --> 00:00:48,482
That was fabulous, baby.
21
00:00:48,482 --> 00:00:50,183
Woo.
22
00:00:51,418 --> 00:00:52,486
If you smell-
23
00:00:52,486 --> 00:00:53,487
Oh, my God.
24
00:00:53,487 --> 00:00:55,021
What the hell are you doing?
25
00:00:55,889 --> 00:00:57,724
Absolutely
unbelievable.
26
00:00:58,358 --> 00:00:59,826
Hulkamania is
here.
27
00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:07,534
{\an8}Welcome,
everyone,
28
00:01:07,534 --> 00:01:09,102
{\an8}to WWE's Greatest Moments.
29
00:01:09,102 --> 00:01:10,203
{\an8}I'm Michael Cole.
30
00:01:10,203 --> 00:01:11,738
{\an8}And on this edition, we're
looking back at the brains
31
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:15,275
{\an8}and beauties behind the brawn.
32
00:01:15,275 --> 00:01:17,410
The professional wrestling
manager.
33
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:19,646
You take orders
from me,
34
00:01:19,646 --> 00:01:22,015
because I am the
manager of the year.
35
00:01:22,015 --> 00:01:24,518
One of the most
important roles one can hold
36
00:01:24,518 --> 00:01:27,254
in the squared circle, a
manager's goal is to elevate
37
00:01:27,254 --> 00:01:30,790
a superstar's career and bring
the eyes of the world to them.
38
00:01:31,358 --> 00:01:32,292
Everybody
knows,
39
00:01:32,292 --> 00:01:34,127
Freddie Blassie knows managing
from A to Z.
40
00:01:36,129 --> 00:01:38,064
But some managers
end up overshadowing
41
00:01:38,064 --> 00:01:41,735
the talent they represent, and
that's not hard to do
42
00:01:41,735 --> 00:01:44,604
when you're as visually striking
as "Captain" Lou Albano.
43
00:01:45,572 --> 00:01:46,973
Who's the
handsomest of us all?
44
00:01:46,973 --> 00:01:48,809
And it said, "You are, Captain."
45
00:01:48,809 --> 00:01:50,977
Many would say
that "Captain" Lou
46
00:01:50,977 --> 00:01:53,880
even revolutionized Sports
Entertainment when he introduced
47
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,417
pop icon Cindy Lauper to the
world of WWE.
48
00:01:57,918 --> 00:01:59,419
What determination,
what will to win.
49
00:01:59,419 --> 00:02:00,487
Woo.
50
00:02:00,487 --> 00:02:01,788
Don't get too
excited.
51
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:03,557
Remember, it makes your medulla
swell.
52
00:02:03,557 --> 00:02:05,659
But would
"Captain" Lou take too much
53
00:02:05,659 --> 00:02:06,893
of the credit?
54
00:02:10,764 --> 00:02:12,666
{\an8}The female
entertainer of the year,
55
00:02:12,666 --> 00:02:15,101
{\an8}Ms. Cindy Lauper.
56
00:02:15,101 --> 00:02:17,504
{\an8}First
time we saw Cindy Lauper
57
00:02:17,504 --> 00:02:20,073
in WWE was when she appeared
on Piper's Pit.
58
00:02:20,774 --> 00:02:22,342
"Captain" Lou
Albano, your manager,
59
00:02:22,342 --> 00:02:24,911
the man who was taking care of
you and actually brought you
60
00:02:24,911 --> 00:02:26,780
from nothing and taken
you--
61
00:02:26,780 --> 00:02:27,814
Yes, darling?
62
00:02:27,814 --> 00:02:29,282
Roddy, wait, wait.
63
00:02:29,282 --> 00:02:30,584
Yes, darling?
64
00:02:30,584 --> 00:02:31,251
No, I love Lou,
but Lou would never say that.
65
00:02:31,251 --> 00:02:32,686
Lou-- Hey, how are you?
66
00:02:32,686 --> 00:02:33,854
Cindy, Cindy, tell
all these people out here how
67
00:02:33,854 --> 00:02:36,089
I found you in New York City in
Queens
68
00:02:36,089 --> 00:02:37,691
and how I made you a superstar.
69
00:02:37,691 --> 00:02:39,459
Lou
Albano just starts talking
70
00:02:39,459 --> 00:02:41,194
this really sexist talk.
71
00:02:41,194 --> 00:02:43,296
Tell them
how-how-how women, Cindy,
72
00:02:43,296 --> 00:02:44,331
belong in the kitchen.
73
00:02:44,331 --> 00:02:45,999
Wait, wait, Lou,
Lou, you know,
74
00:02:45,999 --> 00:02:47,134
I don't like that.
75
00:02:47,134 --> 00:02:48,568
Cindy, just shut up
for a minute, Cindy.
76
00:02:48,568 --> 00:02:49,970
There was a lot
resentment brewing
77
00:02:49,970 --> 00:02:52,172
{\an8}and everything, and Lou was
saying all these
78
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:53,540
{\an8}terrible things,
and this and that.
79
00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:55,942
Tell them how you
came off my reputation, Cindy.
80
00:02:55,942 --> 00:02:58,612
"Captain" Lou Albano.
81
00:02:58,612 --> 00:02:59,379
Whoa.
82
00:02:59,379 --> 00:03:01,047
Hey, hey.
83
00:03:02,249 --> 00:03:03,617
It was just
amazing.
84
00:03:03,617 --> 00:03:06,486
{\an8}They started crossing all these
boundary lines that no one
85
00:03:06,486 --> 00:03:10,423
{\an8}had ever done before and
I could feel the rumbling.
86
00:03:11,291 --> 00:03:13,093
What the hell-
87
00:03:13,093 --> 00:03:14,161
What the hell's wrong with you?
88
00:03:15,328 --> 00:03:16,329
It was awesome.
89
00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:19,699
{\an8}It was "Captain" Lou that made
it fun,
90
00:03:19,699 --> 00:03:21,535
and I'm proud to say that I
worked with him.
91
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:24,804
{\an8}There was no Rock
'n' Wrestling connection
92
00:03:24,804 --> 00:03:26,439
{\an8}without "Captain" Lou Albano.
93
00:03:26,940 --> 00:03:30,744
That meeting with Cindy Lauper
changed the trajectory
94
00:03:30,744 --> 00:03:32,979
of this industry forever.
95
00:03:37,651 --> 00:03:39,386
Mr. Fuji was
perhaps one of the most
96
00:03:39,386 --> 00:03:42,022
dangerous villains to grace the
squared circle.
97
00:03:42,022 --> 00:03:44,090
Through his shady methods,
the devious one developed
98
00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:47,794
his in-ring success into a
managerial career,
99
00:03:47,794 --> 00:03:49,763
one where he would represent
talent
100
00:03:49,763 --> 00:03:51,097
that was larger than
life.
101
00:03:56,770 --> 00:03:59,005
In 1992, Mr. Fuji
introduced his newest superstar,
102
00:03:59,005 --> 00:04:03,343
the Japanese sumo wrestler known
as Yokozuna.
103
00:04:04,277 --> 00:04:06,980
Together, they would tear
through the WWE roster.
104
00:04:06,980 --> 00:04:11,218
And at WrestleMania IX nothing
was off the table for Fuji,
105
00:04:11,218 --> 00:04:12,819
as his client would challenge
106
00:04:12,819 --> 00:04:16,389
"The Excellence of Execution"
Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
107
00:04:20,126 --> 00:04:21,661
{\an8}The match is
underway.
108
00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:23,497
{\an8}We've been
waiting for it.
109
00:04:23,497 --> 00:04:24,364
{\an8}This is it.
110
00:04:25,398 --> 00:04:26,266
Fuji was one of the
most feared guys
111
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:27,901
{\an8}in the wrestling
business.
112
00:04:27,901 --> 00:04:30,971
{\an8}And nobody's going to mess with
Yokozuna with Fuji around.
113
00:04:30,971 --> 00:04:32,539
Yokozuna ran right
through Hart.
114
00:04:34,207 --> 00:04:35,442
Fuji was very
stoic.
115
00:04:36,776 --> 00:04:37,911
{\an8}Just an evil presence.
116
00:04:39,412 --> 00:04:40,780
Bret Hart's got the
Sharpshooter.
117
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:41,815
Mr. Fuji.
118
00:04:41,815 --> 00:04:43,650
No, longer than
anyone.
119
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:45,685
Fuji, what's he
doing?
120
00:04:45,685 --> 00:04:46,887
Oh, man.
121
00:04:46,887 --> 00:04:48,221
He-he threw sand
right in his eyes.
122
00:04:48,221 --> 00:04:49,689
Mr. Fuji was ready
with the powder.
123
00:04:49,689 --> 00:04:52,792
It was very fitting from
a character standpoint.
124
00:04:53,326 --> 00:04:54,561
We got a new
champion.
125
00:04:55,729 --> 00:04:56,930
How many tag team
titles did Mr. Fuji
126
00:04:56,930 --> 00:04:59,866
win by throwing salt in the
eyes of the opponent?
127
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:03,003
And here he is, on the grandest
stage of them all,
128
00:05:03,003 --> 00:05:06,173
determining the outcome
of the WWE Championship.
129
00:05:08,608 --> 00:05:09,609
Fuji threw something
right in Hart's eyes,
130
00:05:09,609 --> 00:05:11,545
and we have a new WWE Champion.
131
00:05:14,381 --> 00:05:16,449
The former
women's champion Sherri Martel's
132
00:05:16,449 --> 00:05:19,486
physical prowess and tough
persona made her a force
133
00:05:19,486 --> 00:05:21,888
to be reckoned with inside
the squared circle.
134
00:05:21,888 --> 00:05:23,490
Here she
comes.
135
00:05:23,490 --> 00:05:25,358
You're looking
at a woman that invented mean.
136
00:05:25,358 --> 00:05:27,327
Sherri was also a
valuable asset alongside
137
00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:31,264
any male superstar, as she
became one of the most
138
00:05:31,264 --> 00:05:33,867
prominent female
managers of all time.
139
00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:38,405
I am in love
with Shawn Michaels.
140
00:05:39,406 --> 00:05:41,875
In the lead up to
SummerSlam 1992,
141
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,810
Sherri was caught between
a rock and a hard place
142
00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:47,247
as her main man, Shawn Michaels,
came to blows with another
143
00:05:47,247 --> 00:05:51,284
potential client in Rick
"The Model" Martel.
144
00:05:54,554 --> 00:05:57,157
{\an8}Where do you
stand for tonight's matchup?
145
00:05:57,157 --> 00:05:59,126
{\an8}I stand just
like any other good woman.
146
00:06:00,126 --> 00:06:01,928
Right by my man.
147
00:06:01,928 --> 00:06:03,964
"Sensational"
Sherri is the kind of lady
148
00:06:03,964 --> 00:06:05,866
that is likely to leave with the
winner.
149
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:07,968
Sherri Martel
having to make a choice between
150
00:06:07,968 --> 00:06:09,903
Rick Martel and Shawn Michaels-
151
00:06:09,903 --> 00:06:12,138
You see Martel
checking Sherri out.
152
00:06:12,138 --> 00:06:14,207
Look at the hug.
153
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:16,209
{\an8}it was something
that you didn't always get the
154
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:20,113
{\an8}chance to see, that spotlight on
managers like that.
155
00:06:20,113 --> 00:06:21,515
Wait a minute.
156
00:06:21,515 --> 00:06:22,782
What happened to Sherri?
157
00:06:23,283 --> 00:06:24,451
She fainted.
158
00:06:24,451 --> 00:06:25,619
She didn't
faint.
159
00:06:27,187 --> 00:06:28,088
Both men counted
out.
160
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:29,422
What are you
trying to say?
161
00:06:29,589 --> 00:06:30,924
She was watching
these two men fight over her.
162
00:06:30,924 --> 00:06:32,259
Wait a minute.
163
00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:33,260
You think that's
deliberate what she's doing?
164
00:06:34,327 --> 00:06:34,694
I got carried to
the dressing room.
165
00:06:35,662 --> 00:06:36,930
{\an8}Somewhere they got
a bucket of water.
166
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:38,131
Oh, no.
167
00:06:38,131 --> 00:06:39,299
What's he gonna do?
168
00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:42,169
"Sensational" Sherri is doused.
169
00:06:42,969 --> 00:06:44,804
I got it right
in the face.
170
00:06:44,804 --> 00:06:48,875
{\an8}She just had
the innate ability to enhance
171
00:06:48,875 --> 00:06:50,243
everything that she was a part
of.
172
00:06:52,212 --> 00:06:53,814
She has been
humiliated.
173
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:56,917
{\an8}In his heyday,
"Classy" Freddie Blassie was one
174
00:06:56,917 --> 00:06:59,719
{\an8}of the most despised men in
professional wrestling.
175
00:07:00,153 --> 00:07:02,155
And over the years, the
Hollywood fashion plate became
176
00:07:02,155 --> 00:07:05,892
one of the most feared managers,
leaving pencil neck geeks
177
00:07:05,892 --> 00:07:07,894
everywhere quaking in their
boots.
178
00:07:08,328 --> 00:07:09,729
You pencil
neck geeks.
179
00:07:09,729 --> 00:07:11,898
Blassie's
managing resume included the
180
00:07:11,898 --> 00:07:15,402
likes of Nikolai Volkoff,
"The Incredible" Hulk Hogan,
181
00:07:15,936 --> 00:07:18,338
and even the greatest
himself, Muhammad Ali.
182
00:07:18,972 --> 00:07:20,473
I'm going to
destroy wrestlers
183
00:07:20,473 --> 00:07:22,275
just like I destroyed
all fighters.
184
00:07:22,275 --> 00:07:23,143
Right, fans?
185
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:26,246
But his greatest
accomplishment
186
00:07:26,246 --> 00:07:28,849
would come when Blassie himself
changed his style to meet
187
00:07:28,849 --> 00:07:33,520
that of his top star, Iran's
favorite son, The Iron Sheik.
188
00:07:34,654 --> 00:07:35,889
Whenever I'm
in the presence
189
00:07:35,889 --> 00:07:38,859
of The Iron Sheik, I will be
called by my rightful name,
190
00:07:38,859 --> 00:07:40,694
"Ayatollah" Blassie.
191
00:07:42,729 --> 00:07:46,366
In December of
1983, "Ayatollah" Blassie
192
00:07:46,366 --> 00:07:48,969
would lead The Sheik to the
world's most famous arena,
193
00:07:48,969 --> 00:07:51,171
Madison Square Garden,
where he would take on
194
00:07:51,171 --> 00:07:53,406
{\an8}"The All-American Boy"
Bob Backlund
195
00:07:53,406 --> 00:07:55,108
{\an8}for the WWE
Championship.
196
00:07:59,412 --> 00:08:02,249
{\an8}Bob Backlund
knew wrestling from A to Z,
197
00:08:02,249 --> 00:08:04,584
{\an8}and Arnold Skaaland
was his manager.
198
00:08:06,019 --> 00:08:09,923
{\an8}I was without a doubt the most
hated man in wrestling
199
00:08:09,923 --> 00:08:11,224
because I liked Iran.
200
00:08:11,892 --> 00:08:13,727
He must be
hypnotized, calling himself
201
00:08:13,727 --> 00:08:15,929
"Ayatollah" Blassie.
202
00:08:15,929 --> 00:08:16,997
He hooked
Backlund back.
203
00:08:16,997 --> 00:08:17,998
He's right in the center of the
ring.
204
00:08:17,998 --> 00:08:19,933
He's sitting right on that lower
back.
205
00:08:20,433 --> 00:08:21,401
And Backlund's
got a bad neck.
206
00:08:24,571 --> 00:08:26,673
Oh, no.
207
00:08:26,673 --> 00:08:27,741
Backlund did not submit.
208
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:29,376
Arnold Skaaland threw something
into the ring.
209
00:08:31,144 --> 00:08:35,115
And Arnold
conceded the match
210
00:08:35,115 --> 00:08:36,817
and the Sheik became the new
world champion.
211
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:39,085
We have a new
champion
212
00:08:39,085 --> 00:08:40,253
in the World Wrestling--.
213
00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:44,124
Freddie Blassie
was never the WWE Champion.
214
00:08:44,858 --> 00:08:47,694
{\an8}The Iron Sheik winning the title
was a victory
215
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:49,129
{\an8}for Freddie Blassie.
216
00:08:49,930 --> 00:08:51,731
I come to Madison
Square Garden
217
00:08:51,731 --> 00:08:53,366
with my greatest manager-
218
00:08:54,401 --> 00:08:55,435
"Ayatollah"
Blassie,
219
00:08:55,435 --> 00:08:56,536
to try and get the belt.
220
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:00,173
The Four Horsemen
truly were the symbol
221
00:09:00,173 --> 00:09:01,775
of excellence.
222
00:09:01,775 --> 00:09:03,543
The ruled the world of
professional wrestling
223
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:06,613
with an iron fist, and
looked good doing it.
224
00:09:06,613 --> 00:09:08,081
We control
wrestling.
225
00:09:08,081 --> 00:09:09,983
We rule the world of
professional wrestling.
226
00:09:10,650 --> 00:09:12,118
Who better to
corral the horsemen
227
00:09:12,118 --> 00:09:14,488
than the infamous
James J Dillon?
228
00:09:14,955 --> 00:09:16,256
Diamonds are
forever,
229
00:09:16,256 --> 00:09:17,657
and so are the Four Horsemen.
230
00:09:17,657 --> 00:09:18,925
Yeah.
231
00:09:19,025 --> 00:09:21,561
JJ Dillon looked,
spoke and dressed the part
232
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:23,697
better than countless others,
but as clean cut as he looked,
233
00:09:23,697 --> 00:09:26,166
the job sometimes required you
to get your hands dirty.
234
00:09:26,766 --> 00:09:29,436
If we have to be
vigilantes, we'll be vigilantes.
235
00:09:29,436 --> 00:09:31,571
After a match
with Dusty Rhodes landed
236
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:33,406
Tully Blanchard on the
sidelines,
237
00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:35,809
JJ and the rest of his Horsemen
went for a little road trip.
238
00:09:39,212 --> 00:09:41,047
{\an8}This is how we
handle Dusty Rhodes.
239
00:09:41,047 --> 00:09:42,015
{\an8}Yeah, yeah, yeah.
240
00:09:42,015 --> 00:09:42,816
{\an8}That's him.
241
00:09:42,816 --> 00:09:44,718
{\an8}Ole and Arn right
on his tail.
242
00:09:44,718 --> 00:09:45,919
I don't think he's seen us.
243
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:47,754
{\an8}They had the car,
and they had the camera guy,
244
00:09:47,754 --> 00:09:49,790
{\an8}and they're waiting for
me to drive by them.
245
00:09:50,257 --> 00:09:51,258
That's it.
246
00:09:51,525 --> 00:09:53,794
{\an8}I think it was natural for the
Horsemen to kind
247
00:09:53,794 --> 00:09:56,463
of focus everything on Dusty.
248
00:09:57,164 --> 00:09:59,933
Once we get him in that parking
lot, there's no turning around.
249
00:10:00,367 --> 00:10:01,735
It was JJ's idea.
250
00:10:01,735 --> 00:10:05,939
It was JJ's strategy, and the
Four Horsemen implemented
251
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:09,743
from the imagination
of JJ Dillion.
252
00:10:09,743 --> 00:10:10,944
It was like a
hit.
253
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:13,446
I mean, it was like they were
making a hit on the mafia.
254
00:10:18,885 --> 00:10:21,454
It was an outcry for
us to have criminal charges
255
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:23,623
brought against us for assault.
256
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:25,025
Fans really bought into it.
257
00:10:27,327 --> 00:10:28,895
We were sending a message to
them that,
258
00:10:28,895 --> 00:10:30,096
"Hey, don't mess with us."
259
00:10:30,096 --> 00:10:32,499
We'll gang up, and be bullies,
and beat you up.
260
00:10:32,499 --> 00:10:33,934
How about it now, Rhodes, huh?
261
00:10:33,934 --> 00:10:34,901
How about it now?
262
00:10:34,901 --> 00:10:36,303
86,
Rhodes.
263
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:39,206
A major attack on
the common man,
264
00:10:39,206 --> 00:10:41,141
the American Dream,
the plumber's son
265
00:10:41,141 --> 00:10:43,376
drew nothing but big money.
266
00:10:43,376 --> 00:10:45,178
I want this to stand
as a warning, Rhodes.
267
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:48,582
{\an8}The Undertaker is
one of the most unique
268
00:10:48,582 --> 00:10:51,184
{\an8}characters to ever exist in WWE
history.
269
00:10:51,184 --> 00:10:53,420
A Deadman of a few words,
Undertaker needed someone
270
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:57,657
equally as extraordinary to give
him his ticket to superstardom.
271
00:10:57,657 --> 00:11:00,527
Enter a real-life mortician,
Paul Bearer.
272
00:11:01,127 --> 00:11:03,730
Oh, were you
looking for me?
273
00:11:03,730 --> 00:11:06,199
Paul Bearer soon
became the herald of doom for
274
00:11:06,199 --> 00:11:09,402
any competitor willing to step
into the ring with The Phenom.
275
00:11:10,136 --> 00:11:13,640
Oh, what a busy
afternoon it's going to be
276
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,342
at my funeral parlor.
277
00:11:15,775 --> 00:11:17,277
But after six
years together,
278
00:11:17,277 --> 00:11:19,446
the paranormal
partnership ended.
279
00:11:19,446 --> 00:11:20,680
I can't believe what
we're seeing.
280
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,250
In 1997,
Undertaker confronted his former
281
00:11:23,250 --> 00:11:26,052
manager, and in response,
Paul Bearer delivered some
282
00:11:26,052 --> 00:11:29,122
astonishing news about
The Deadman's storied past.
283
00:11:30,223 --> 00:11:33,460
Undertaker, this
is the beginning of your end.
284
00:11:36,796 --> 00:11:39,232
{\an8}We're going to have
to go back a few years.
285
00:11:39,232 --> 00:11:41,935
{\an8}We're talking about a little
funeral home.
286
00:11:41,935 --> 00:11:43,937
{\an8}Paul Bearer was
so special because
287
00:11:43,937 --> 00:11:45,805
of his super high pitched voice.
288
00:11:46,273 --> 00:11:47,808
It really actually made you
listen.
289
00:11:47,808 --> 00:11:50,377
But there were two
little kids there.
290
00:11:50,377 --> 00:11:54,047
One kid was a little red-headed
punk,
291
00:11:54,047 --> 00:11:57,217
and then there was a second
kid named Kane.
292
00:11:58,251 --> 00:12:00,120
{\an8}I'm willing to
suspend my disbelief.
293
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,956
It was all because of Paul,
and he knew what to say
294
00:12:02,956 --> 00:12:04,224
and when to say it.
295
00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:08,929
Undertaker, you
burned the funeral home
296
00:12:08,929 --> 00:12:10,564
to the ground.
297
00:12:10,564 --> 00:12:12,966
You killed your family,
Undertaker.
298
00:12:12,966 --> 00:12:14,801
Paul tells his
side of the story.
299
00:12:14,801 --> 00:12:16,970
{\an8}He was left for dead.
300
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:19,139
{\an8}I showed him the love and the
care that you,
301
00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:22,008
as his blood, never did.
302
00:12:22,008 --> 00:12:23,443
Kane told me.
303
00:12:23,443 --> 00:12:25,645
Kane told me.
304
00:12:25,645 --> 00:12:27,647
{\an8}It breathed a
breath of fresh air in-
305
00:12:27,647 --> 00:12:29,082
{\an8}in all those characters.
306
00:12:29,082 --> 00:12:32,252
Kane is alive,
Undertaker.
307
00:12:32,252 --> 00:12:33,920
He's alive.
308
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,522
It was just the perfect storm.
309
00:12:35,622 --> 00:12:37,491
Kane's alive.
310
00:12:37,491 --> 00:12:39,059
I swear.
311
00:12:39,059 --> 00:12:42,329
It's the truth.
312
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,834
You know,
you're jealous.
313
00:12:47,834 --> 00:12:49,169
You're like everybody else in
the WWE.
314
00:12:49,169 --> 00:12:50,570
You're jealous of Jimmy Hart,
aren't you?
315
00:12:50,570 --> 00:12:52,439
Of all the
managers in professional
316
00:12:52,439 --> 00:12:54,641
wrestling history, "The Mouth of
the South" Jimmy Hart
317
00:12:54,641 --> 00:12:56,343
was one of the most colorful.
318
00:12:56,343 --> 00:12:57,777
I told you, I told
you, I told you.
319
00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:58,979
He's the greatest
Intercontinental Champion
320
00:12:58,979 --> 00:13:00,614
of all time.
321
00:13:00,614 --> 00:13:03,049
Once the manager
of the legendary tag team,
322
00:13:03,049 --> 00:13:05,118
the Hart Foundation, Jimmy would
help the duo capture
323
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:07,220
their first world
tag team titles.
324
00:13:07,854 --> 00:13:09,222
No, no, no.
325
00:13:09,222 --> 00:13:10,257
One, two, three.
326
00:13:10,257 --> 00:13:11,758
We have new champions of the
world.
327
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:13,493
The greatest team
in the history
328
00:13:13,493 --> 00:13:14,895
of professional wrestling today.
329
00:13:16,062 --> 00:13:18,064
Unfortunately,
the Hart Foundation couldn't
330
00:13:18,064 --> 00:13:19,166
remain on the same page.
331
00:13:19,699 --> 00:13:21,501
Jimmy Hart
has been told off
332
00:13:21,501 --> 00:13:23,270
by the Hart Foundation.
333
00:13:23,737 --> 00:13:24,905
At WrestleMania
VII,
334
00:13:24,905 --> 00:13:26,740
the trio would be back in
the title scene.
335
00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:29,809
Only this time, on opposite
sides of the ring.
336
00:13:29,809 --> 00:13:31,945
Things would get nasty.
337
00:13:32,612 --> 00:13:34,247
They're nasty, and
they're going to become the next
338
00:13:34,247 --> 00:13:36,583
World Wrestling-- Tag
Team Champions.
339
00:13:39,686 --> 00:13:41,154
{\an8}Hart
Foundation, tremendous
340
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:44,491
{\an8}champions, but that
little runt, Jimmy Hart,
341
00:13:44,491 --> 00:13:46,860
knows them very well.
342
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:48,495
{\an8}I turned on the
Hart Foundation
343
00:13:48,495 --> 00:13:49,996
{\an8}for the Nasty Boys.
344
00:13:49,996 --> 00:13:52,399
Nasty Boys are
indeed just that, nasty.
345
00:13:52,399 --> 00:13:54,534
{\an8}Got that
megaphone always
346
00:13:54,534 --> 00:13:55,969
getting in the way.
347
00:13:55,969 --> 00:13:58,505
Boy, it
certainly is a shame to have
348
00:13:58,505 --> 00:13:59,773
to contend with that
individual on the outside
349
00:13:59,773 --> 00:14:02,409
when they've got their
hands full on the inside.
350
00:14:03,276 --> 00:14:06,613
{\an8}Jimmy Hart
was 115 pounds soaking wet,
351
00:14:06,613 --> 00:14:08,615
and yet he determined the
outcome of the match
352
00:14:08,615 --> 00:14:10,217
by his physical blabbing.
353
00:14:11,218 --> 00:14:13,887
This match
deteriorating now as the referee
354
00:14:13,887 --> 00:14:14,921
is losing control of it.
355
00:14:16,456 --> 00:14:18,024
He nailed him.
356
00:14:18,024 --> 00:14:19,126
This is it.
357
00:14:19,126 --> 00:14:20,460
This is it.
358
00:14:20,460 --> 00:14:21,394
It's over.
359
00:14:21,394 --> 00:14:21,795
We got new
champions.
360
00:14:23,063 --> 00:14:24,131
For him being
so integral into the finish,
361
00:14:24,131 --> 00:14:27,367
where the Nasty's were going to
become champions,
362
00:14:27,367 --> 00:14:29,369
that's a huge moment for Jimmy.
363
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:30,737
Look at Jimmy
Hart.
364
00:14:30,737 --> 00:14:32,439
Is he happy?
365
00:14:32,439 --> 00:14:33,607
Wow.
366
00:14:33,607 --> 00:14:35,542
You know, what a great moment
that was.
367
00:14:35,542 --> 00:14:37,344
History has
been made here
368
00:14:37,344 --> 00:14:38,778
at WrestleMania VII.
369
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:41,781
There's nothing
that I despise
370
00:14:41,781 --> 00:14:44,117
more than a spoiled brat.
371
00:14:44,117 --> 00:14:46,820
No one could get your goat more
than the Louisville slugger
372
00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:48,488
himself, Jim Cornette.
373
00:14:49,523 --> 00:14:51,291
After all, I am
one of the fastest-rising young
374
00:14:51,291 --> 00:14:52,859
managers in the world today.
375
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,928
The fast talking
Kentuckian was master of
376
00:14:54,928 --> 00:14:58,465
agitation that could yap his way
out of a paper bag.
377
00:14:59,166 --> 00:15:00,934
If I tell you the
sun's not going to come up
378
00:15:00,934 --> 00:15:03,503
tomorrow, you better go out and
buy you a flashlight.
379
00:15:03,503 --> 00:15:06,006
Cornette gained
notoriety managing wrestlers in
380
00:15:06,006 --> 00:15:09,676
promotions all over the country,
but in 1993, it was his arrival
381
00:15:09,676 --> 00:15:13,847
in WWE that really caught the
eyes of fans everywhere.
382
00:15:17,684 --> 00:15:18,752
{\an8}Wait a minute.
383
00:15:18,752 --> 00:15:19,853
{\an8}He has
no business here.
384
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,888
{\an8}Do you
know who that is?
385
00:15:21,888 --> 00:15:23,557
When you talk
about great managers
386
00:15:23,557 --> 00:15:27,260
in the history of the business,
Jim was the last of that bastion
387
00:15:27,260 --> 00:15:30,864
that had not been to
the WWE at that time.
388
00:15:30,864 --> 00:15:32,566
This, ladies and
gentlemen, is the greatest
389
00:15:32,566 --> 00:15:37,137
manager in the history of the
sport of wrestling.
390
00:15:37,771 --> 00:15:40,707
The WWE, this
whole new group of fans.
391
00:15:41,408 --> 00:15:42,976
{\an8}What are his aspirations?
392
00:15:42,976 --> 00:15:44,578
{\an8}What's he mad about?
393
00:15:44,578 --> 00:15:45,846
{\an8}Who's he made at?
394
00:15:45,846 --> 00:15:46,947
{\an8}What's he want to accomplish?
395
00:15:48,215 --> 00:15:50,383
Let me just explain for all of
you genetic defects out here
396
00:15:50,383 --> 00:15:52,486
living downstream at the nuclear
plants.
397
00:15:52,486 --> 00:15:54,454
I hear you got some big fish up
here.
398
00:15:54,921 --> 00:15:55,856
For him to be
there,
399
00:15:55,856 --> 00:15:57,357
I think that that was a
monumental moment.
400
00:15:57,824 --> 00:15:59,292
And then every
single one of these people
401
00:15:59,292 --> 00:16:03,263
will know that you're yellow
stinking dog curd cowards,
402
00:16:03,263 --> 00:16:04,264
and I know you are.
403
00:16:05,298 --> 00:16:06,833
Ladies and
gentlemen,
404
00:16:06,833 --> 00:16:11,571
this man is going to set the
World Wrestling-- on fire.
405
00:16:11,571 --> 00:16:16,076
For Jim to debut
in WWE and get endorsed
406
00:16:16,076 --> 00:16:21,314
by Bobby Heenan, I think, added
so much to his legacy.
407
00:16:21,314 --> 00:16:22,582
You're here.
408
00:16:22,582 --> 00:16:23,617
You're really here.
409
00:16:23,617 --> 00:16:25,218
I'm here.
410
00:16:27,053 --> 00:16:28,155
Bobby Heenan.
411
00:16:28,355 --> 00:16:29,856
One of the most
famous managers this industry
412
00:16:29,856 --> 00:16:34,227
has ever seen was simple known
as The Brain.
413
00:16:34,928 --> 00:16:36,129
I don't care how
big you are.
414
00:16:36,129 --> 00:16:38,965
If you don't have any brains,
you're lost.
415
00:16:38,965 --> 00:16:40,834
Heenan's crooked
practice has earned him another
416
00:16:40,834 --> 00:16:43,203
less flattering name,
The Weasel.
417
00:16:44,171 --> 00:16:45,272
You see any
whiskers?
418
00:16:45,272 --> 00:16:47,207
You see any nose here that looks
like a weasel's nose?
419
00:16:47,207 --> 00:16:49,476
Look at the ears on that sewer
rat.
420
00:16:49,476 --> 00:16:52,012
In 1988, Heenan
was locked in a rivalry
421
00:16:52,012 --> 00:16:53,413
with the Ultimate Warrior.
422
00:16:53,413 --> 00:16:55,849
The Brain would step into
the ring himself in a bout with
423
00:16:55,849 --> 00:16:58,585
the ultimate one, where
the loser would be forced
424
00:16:58,585 --> 00:17:00,654
to wear a weasel suit.
425
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,928
{\an8}Look at
Heenan,
426
00:17:07,928 --> 00:17:08,929
{\an8}he wants the referee. He wants
an explanation done here.
427
00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:11,565
{\an8}Whenever you
saw a gimmick match like
428
00:17:11,565 --> 00:17:14,367
{\an8}the Weasel Match with Bobby,
it's always about going out,
429
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:16,303
and having fun, and
having a good show.
430
00:17:16,803 --> 00:17:18,271
If you can't
control him,
431
00:17:18,271 --> 00:17:19,606
you get in the ring with him.
432
00:17:20,073 --> 00:17:22,642
{\an8}Bobby Heenan
was one of the first villains
433
00:17:22,642 --> 00:17:23,810
that you loved to hate.
434
00:17:25,078 --> 00:17:26,413
Oh, he got him
with a big right hand.
435
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,582
{\an8}People loved the
Warrior, of course,
436
00:17:28,582 --> 00:17:29,916
{\an8}and they hated Bobby.
437
00:17:29,916 --> 00:17:31,418
He's cut off
the circulation to the brain.
438
00:17:32,352 --> 00:17:33,253
He's out.
439
00:17:34,287 --> 00:17:35,522
So, once he lost
that match and had
440
00:17:35,522 --> 00:17:36,823
to wear that suit, that really
put the cherry on top of it.
441
00:17:36,823 --> 00:17:40,160
Bobby Heenan
gets put to sleep, gets put into
442
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,764
{\an8}it while he's asleep, and you
slowly see the realization.
443
00:17:46,133 --> 00:17:47,467
He doesn't
know what's transpired.
444
00:17:47,467 --> 00:17:48,568
Look at this.
445
00:17:48,568 --> 00:17:49,970
He goes to wipe
his face.
446
00:17:49,970 --> 00:17:51,505
"Wait a minute.
447
00:17:51,771 --> 00:17:52,939
I've got paws."
448
00:17:53,406 --> 00:17:54,741
Oh, look at
this, he's got the--
449
00:17:54,741 --> 00:17:57,010
And
the crowd eats it up.
450
00:17:57,344 --> 00:17:59,412
Bobby has a match with himself.
451
00:18:00,814 --> 00:18:02,616
I think we just
saw the ultimate humiliation.
452
00:18:05,118 --> 00:18:06,653
{\an8}It's now time for
our number one moment.
453
00:18:06,887 --> 00:18:10,423
Over the years the role of the
manager has diminished,
454
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:13,693
but one advocate's guidance has
stood the test of time.
455
00:18:14,528 --> 00:18:17,764
My name is
Paul Heyman.
456
00:18:18,932 --> 00:18:20,167
The greatest
manager
457
00:18:20,167 --> 00:18:23,003
in Sports Entertainment history.
458
00:18:23,003 --> 00:18:24,838
Heyman has been
in the ear of some of the most
459
00:18:24,938 --> 00:18:26,673
successful superstars in
history,
460
00:18:26,673 --> 00:18:28,542
but in the main event of
WrestleMania 41,
461
00:18:28,542 --> 00:18:31,378
Paul Heyman, the Wise
Man of the Tribal Chief,
462
00:18:31,378 --> 00:18:33,446
was caught in a
precarious position
463
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:36,416
when his best friend and former
client, CM Punk,
464
00:18:36,416 --> 00:18:38,151
cashed in a
favor.
465
00:18:38,151 --> 00:18:41,454
At WrestleMania in my
corner,
466
00:18:41,454 --> 00:18:44,624
your "Wise Man" Paul Heyman.
467
00:18:45,692 --> 00:18:47,561
Heyman would now
be in the corner of the Second
468
00:18:47,561 --> 00:18:51,097
City Saint in a triple threat
match against Roman Reigns
469
00:18:51,097 --> 00:18:52,966
and Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
470
00:18:56,369 --> 00:18:58,605
{\an8}Paul Heyman is here in
Punk's corner.
471
00:18:58,605 --> 00:19:00,807
{\an8}The question, guys,
though, is,
472
00:19:00,807 --> 00:19:02,843
where does his
allegiance really lie?
473
00:19:03,777 --> 00:19:05,445
That main event
was solely built
474
00:19:05,445 --> 00:19:09,482
{\an8}around Paul Heyman's emotional
relationships
475
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:11,618
with both Roman
Reigns and CM Punk.
476
00:19:12,419 --> 00:19:14,120
{\an8}He's guided not only
my career
477
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:16,456
{\an8}but the careers of
so many others.
478
00:19:18,058 --> 00:19:21,328
{\an8}The holy grail in
WWE is the wisdom
479
00:19:21,328 --> 00:19:22,562
of Paul Heyman.
480
00:19:24,464 --> 00:19:25,932
{\an8}We've really kind
of created a bond
481
00:19:25,932 --> 00:19:28,368
{\an8}that became very authentic
and very real.
482
00:19:28,368 --> 00:19:29,669
Can he get the
GTS?
483
00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:30,737
And he does to Rollins.
484
00:19:30,737 --> 00:19:32,005
Spear, though, by Reigns.
485
00:19:32,005 --> 00:19:33,139
Stomp by Seth.
486
00:19:33,139 --> 00:19:34,774
Everybody is down.
487
00:19:35,809 --> 00:19:37,010
And everyone's
going,
488
00:19:37,010 --> 00:19:38,778
"Well-Well, what's
Heyman gonna do?"
489
00:19:39,246 --> 00:19:41,648
Paul Heyman has
made his choice.
490
00:19:42,282 --> 00:19:43,450
Oh, no.
491
00:19:43,450 --> 00:19:47,053
Paul Heyman low blowed his best
friend, CM Punk.
492
00:19:48,855 --> 00:19:51,057
Paul Heyman has returned to his
Tribal Chief.
493
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:54,528
Oh, my God.
494
00:19:54,528 --> 00:19:56,263
Holy crap, he's
gonna walk out
495
00:19:56,263 --> 00:19:57,898
with Seth Rollins.
496
00:19:57,898 --> 00:19:59,766
I trusted him.
497
00:19:59,766 --> 00:20:02,536
When you get
someone on your side, like Paul
498
00:20:02,536 --> 00:20:05,205
{\an8}Heyman, you're able to push some
things through.
499
00:20:05,205 --> 00:20:07,073
Paul Heyman
decides who's gonna win-
500
00:20:08,241 --> 00:20:09,743
and more
importantly,
501
00:20:09,743 --> 00:20:13,213
Paul Heyman decides which two
are going to lose.
502
00:20:13,213 --> 00:20:16,216
Benedict Heyman.
503
00:20:18,318 --> 00:20:20,086
Professional wrestling managers
are the architects of a
504
00:20:20,086 --> 00:20:22,856
superstar's success, but it
takes a great one to turn their
505
00:20:22,856 --> 00:20:26,259
{\an8}superstar into a blockbuster
attraction.
506
00:20:26,259 --> 00:20:28,562
{\an8}I'm gonna down in
the history books as the manager
507
00:20:28,562 --> 00:20:30,163
{\an8}of the World Heavyweight
Champion.
508
00:20:30,163 --> 00:20:31,364
{\an8}That'll do it for
this edition
509
00:20:31,364 --> 00:20:33,366
{\an8}of WWE's Greatest Moments.
510
00:20:33,366 --> 00:20:35,702
{\an8}I hope you've enjoyed this look
back at some of the most pivotal
511
00:20:35,702 --> 00:20:38,171
{\an8}manager moments in professional
wrestling history.
