Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:04,036
[Bobby Heenan] You listen to me,
you go to the top.
2
00:00:04,037 --> 00:00:07,474
You don't listen to me, you're
never heard from again.
3
00:00:07,774 --> 00:00:09,275
[Michael Cole] Devious.
4
00:00:09,276 --> 00:00:10,710
Scheming.
5
00:00:10,711 --> 00:00:13,379
[JJ Dillon] We rule the world of
professional wrestling.
6
00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:14,513
[Michael Cole] Manipulative.
7
00:00:14,514 --> 00:00:16,315
[Sunny] Everything from now on
will be on my terms.
8
00:00:16,316 --> 00:00:17,650
[Michael Cole] Behind some of
the greatest superstars
9
00:00:17,651 --> 00:00:18,952
is a powerful manager.
10
00:00:19,386 --> 00:00:24,157
[Paul Heyman] I can spot the
next big thing.
11
00:00:24,158 --> 00:00:26,626
[Michael Cole] More than just a
mouthpiece advocating
12
00:00:26,627 --> 00:00:29,061
for their client, a wrestling
manager can be a crucial
13
00:00:29,062 --> 00:00:32,766
element that will secure a
victory by any means necessary.
14
00:00:32,767 --> 00:00:35,301
[Vince McMahon] Oh, you saw
that.
15
00:00:35,302 --> 00:00:36,669
He has no business out there.
16
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:38,804
[Michael Cole] Today we look
back at some of the most iconic
17
00:00:38,805 --> 00:00:41,542
manager moments in professional
wrestling history.
18
00:00:41,975 --> 00:00:43,744
[Paul Bearer] Oh, yes.
19
00:00:44,244 --> 00:00:46,680
[Michael Cole] This is WWE's
Greatest Moments.
20
00:00:46,681 --> 00:00:49,282
[Jimmy Hart] That was fabulous, baby.
21
00:00:49,283 --> 00:00:50,950
Woo.
22
00:00:50,951 --> 00:00:52,184
[WWE Greatest Moments' music]
23
00:00:52,185 --> 00:00:53,252
[The Rock] If you smell-
24
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:54,253
[Michael Cole] Oh, my God.
25
00:00:54,254 --> 00:00:55,756
What the hell are you doing?
26
00:00:56,623 --> 00:00:58,553
[Jim Ross] Absolutely
unbelievable.
27
00:00:59,092 --> 00:01:01,082
[Gorilla Monsoon] Hulkamania is
here.
28
00:01:05,365 --> 00:01:08,267
[Michael Cole] Welcome,
everyone,
29
00:01:08,268 --> 00:01:09,835
to WWE's Greatest Moments.
30
00:01:09,836 --> 00:01:10,886
I'm Michael Cole.
31
00:01:10,887 --> 00:01:12,505
And on this edition, we're
looking back at the brains
32
00:01:12,506 --> 00:01:15,943
and beauties behind the brawn.
33
00:01:16,043 --> 00:01:18,110
The professional wrestling
manager.
34
00:01:18,111 --> 00:01:20,379
[Bobby Heenan] You take orders
from me,
35
00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:22,748
because I am the
manager of the year.
36
00:01:22,749 --> 00:01:25,318
[Michael Cole] One of the most
important roles one can hold
37
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,020
in the squared circle, a
manager's goal is to elevate
38
00:01:28,021 --> 00:01:31,525
a superstar's career and bring
the eyes of the world to them.
39
00:01:31,526 --> 00:01:33,059
[Freddie Blassie] Everybody
knows,
40
00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:35,230
Freddie Blassie knows managing
from A to Z.
41
00:01:35,231 --> 00:01:38,831
[Michael Cole] But some managers
end up overshadowing
42
00:01:38,832 --> 00:01:42,468
the talent they represent, and
that's not hard to do
43
00:01:42,469 --> 00:01:45,419
when you're as visually striking
as "Captain" Lou Albano.
44
00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:47,707
[Lou Albano] Who's the
handsomest of us all?
45
00:01:47,708 --> 00:01:49,542
And it said, "You are, Captain."
46
00:01:49,543 --> 00:01:51,711
[Michael Cole] Many would say
that "Captain" Lou
47
00:01:51,712 --> 00:01:54,613
even revolutionized Sports
Entertainment when he introduced
48
00:01:54,614 --> 00:01:58,118
pop icon Cindy Lauper to the
world of WWE.
49
00:01:58,119 --> 00:02:00,219
[Lou Albano] What determination,
what will to win.
50
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:01,253
Woo.
51
00:02:01,254 --> 00:02:02,588
[Cindy Lauper] Don't get too
excited.
52
00:02:02,589 --> 00:02:04,357
Remember, it makes your medulla
swell.
53
00:02:04,358 --> 00:02:06,459
[Michael Cole] But would
"Captain" Lou take too much
54
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:07,628
of the credit?
55
00:02:08,909 --> 00:02:13,466
[Roddy Piper] The female
entertainer of the year,
56
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:15,835
Ms. Cindy Lauper.
57
00:02:15,836 --> 00:02:18,237
[Keith Elliot Greenberg] First
time we saw Cindy Lauper
58
00:02:18,238 --> 00:02:20,741
in WWE was when she appeared
on Piper's Pit.
59
00:02:20,742 --> 00:02:23,075
[Roddy Piper] "Captain" Lou
Albano, your manager,
60
00:02:23,076 --> 00:02:25,678
the man who was taking care of
you and actually brought you
61
00:02:25,679 --> 00:02:27,546
from nothing and taken
you-
62
00:02:27,547 --> 00:02:28,581
Yes, darling?
63
00:02:28,582 --> 00:02:30,016
[Cindy Lauper] Roddy, wait, wait.
64
00:02:30,017 --> 00:02:31,350
[Roddy Piper] Yes, darling?
65
00:02:31,351 --> 00:02:32,018
[Cindy Lauper] No, I love Lou,
but Lou would never say that.
66
00:02:32,019 --> 00:02:33,452
Lou- Hey, how are you?
67
00:02:33,453 --> 00:02:34,620
[Lou Albano] Cindy, Cindy, tell
all these people out here how
68
00:02:34,621 --> 00:02:36,822
I found you in New York City in
Queens
69
00:02:36,823 --> 00:02:38,457
and how I made you a superstar.
70
00:02:38,458 --> 00:02:40,226
[Keith Elliot Greenberg] Lou
Albano just starts talking
71
00:02:40,227 --> 00:02:41,895
this really sexist talk.
72
00:02:41,896 --> 00:02:44,063
[Lou Albano] Tell them
how-how-how women, Cindy,
73
00:02:44,064 --> 00:02:45,064
belong in the kitchen.
74
00:02:45,065 --> 00:02:46,799
[Cindy Lauper] Wait, wait, Lou,
Lou, you know,
75
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,867
I don't like that.
76
00:02:47,868 --> 00:02:49,301
[Lou Albano] Cindy, just shut up
for a minute, Cindy.
77
00:02:49,302 --> 00:02:50,703
[David Wolff] There was a lot
resentment brewing
78
00:02:50,704 --> 00:02:52,905
and everything, and Lou was
saying all these
79
00:02:52,906 --> 00:02:54,273
terrible things,
and this and that.
80
00:02:54,274 --> 00:02:56,709
[Lou Albano] Tell them how you
came off my reputation, Cindy.
81
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:59,378
"Captain" Lou Albano.
82
00:02:59,379 --> 00:03:00,146
[Roddy Piper] Whoa.
83
00:03:00,147 --> 00:03:01,715
Hey, hey.
84
00:03:01,716 --> 00:03:04,383
[Hulk Hogan] It was just
amazing.
85
00:03:04,384 --> 00:03:07,253
They started crossing all these
boundary lines that no one
86
00:03:07,254 --> 00:03:11,158
had ever done before and
I could feel the rumbling.
87
00:03:12,025 --> 00:03:13,826
[Roddy Piper] What the hell-
88
00:03:13,827 --> 00:03:15,387
What the hell's wrong with you?
89
00:03:15,388 --> 00:03:17,463
[Cindy Lauper] It was awesome.
90
00:03:17,464 --> 00:03:20,466
It was "Captain" Lou that made
it fun,
91
00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:22,577
and I'm proud to say that I
worked with him.
92
00:03:22,578 --> 00:03:25,604
[Paul Heyman] There was no Rock
'n' Wrestling connection
93
00:03:25,605 --> 00:03:27,107
without "Captain" Lou Albano.
94
00:03:27,641 --> 00:03:31,510
That meeting with Cindy Lauper
changed the trajectory
95
00:03:31,511 --> 00:03:33,680
of this industry forever.
96
00:03:35,856 --> 00:03:40,152
[Michael Cole] Mr. Fuji was
perhaps one of the most
97
00:03:40,153 --> 00:03:42,788
dangerous villains to grace the
squared circle.
98
00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:44,857
Through his shady methods,
the devious one developed
99
00:03:44,858 --> 00:03:48,495
his in-ring success into a
managerial career,
100
00:03:48,595 --> 00:03:50,497
one where he would represent
talent
101
00:03:50,597 --> 00:03:51,927
that was larger than
life.
102
00:03:54,102 --> 00:03:59,739
[Michael Cole] In 1992, Mr. Fuji
introduced his newest superstar,
103
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:04,044
the Japanese sumo wrestler known
as Yokozuna.
104
00:04:04,978 --> 00:04:07,713
Together, they would tear
through the WWE roster.
105
00:04:07,714 --> 00:04:11,984
And at WrestleMania IX nothing
was off the table for Fuji,
106
00:04:11,985 --> 00:04:13,586
as his client would challenge
107
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:17,124
"The Excellence of Execution"
Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
108
00:04:18,932 --> 00:04:22,461
[Randy Savage] The match is
underway.
109
00:04:22,462 --> 00:04:23,496
[bell rings]
110
00:04:23,497 --> 00:04:24,263
[Randy Savage] We've been
waiting for it.
111
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:25,314
This is it.
112
00:04:25,315 --> 00:04:26,999
[Bret Hart] Fuji was one of the
most feared guys
113
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,634
in the wrestling
business.
114
00:04:28,635 --> 00:04:31,704
And nobody's going to mess with
Yokozuna with Fuji around.
115
00:04:31,705 --> 00:04:33,935
[Jim Ross] Yokozuna ran right
through Hart.
116
00:04:34,908 --> 00:04:36,718
[Jake Roberts] Fuji was very
stoic.
117
00:04:37,511 --> 00:04:38,612
Just an evil presence.
118
00:04:38,613 --> 00:04:41,547
[Jim Ross] Bret Hart's got the
Sharpshooter.
119
00:04:41,548 --> 00:04:42,548
Mr. Fuji.
120
00:04:42,549 --> 00:04:44,383
[Bobby Heenan] No, longer than
anyone.
121
00:04:44,384 --> 00:04:46,419
[Jim Ross] Fuji, what's he
doing?
122
00:04:46,420 --> 00:04:47,620
[Randy Savage] Oh, man.
123
00:04:47,621 --> 00:04:48,988
[Jim Ross] He-he threw sand
right in his eyes.
124
00:04:48,989 --> 00:04:50,456
[Bret Hart] Mr. Fuji was ready
with the powder.
125
00:04:50,457 --> 00:04:53,527
It was very fitting from
a character standpoint.
126
00:04:53,528 --> 00:04:55,394
[Bobby Heenan] We got a new
champion.
127
00:04:55,395 --> 00:04:56,462
[bell rings]
128
00:04:56,463 --> 00:04:57,663
[Paul Heyman] How many tag team
titles did Mr. Fuji
129
00:04:57,664 --> 00:05:00,633
win by throwing salt in the
eyes of the opponent?
130
00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:03,736
And here he is, on the grandest
stage of them all,
131
00:05:03,737 --> 00:05:06,840
determining the outcome
of the WWE Championship.
132
00:05:06,841 --> 00:05:10,309
[Jim Ross] Fuji threw something
right in Hart's eyes,
133
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:12,245
and we have a new WWE Champion.
134
00:05:12,246 --> 00:05:17,183
[Michael Cole] The former
women's champion Sherri Martel's
135
00:05:17,184 --> 00:05:20,252
physical prowess and tough
persona made her a force
136
00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:22,655
to be reckoned with inside
the squared circle.
137
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:24,256
[Gorilla Monsoon] Here she
comes.
138
00:05:24,257 --> 00:05:26,158
[Sherri Martel] You're looking
at a woman that invented mean.
139
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:28,093
[Michael Cole] Sherri was also a
valuable asset alongside
140
00:05:28,094 --> 00:05:32,031
any male superstar, as she
became one of the most
141
00:05:32,032 --> 00:05:34,568
prominent female
managers of all time.
142
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:39,105
[Sherri Martel] I am in love
with Shawn Michaels.
143
00:05:40,106 --> 00:05:42,636
[Michael Cole] In the lead up to
SummerSlam 1992,
144
00:05:42,637 --> 00:05:44,543
Sherri was caught between
a rock and a hard place
145
00:05:44,544 --> 00:05:47,980
as her main man, Shawn Michaels,
came to blows with another
146
00:05:47,981 --> 00:05:52,018
potential client in Rick
"The Model" Martel.
147
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,957
[Gene Okerlund] Where do you
stand for tonight's matchup?
148
00:05:57,958 --> 00:05:59,959
[Sherri Martel] I stand just
like any other good woman.
149
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:00,926
[bell rings]
150
00:06:00,927 --> 00:06:02,695
[Sherri Martel] Right by my man.
151
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:04,730
[Vince McMahon] "Sensational"
Sherri is the kind of lady
152
00:06:04,731 --> 00:06:06,632
that is likely to leave with the
winner.
153
00:06:06,633 --> 00:06:08,734
[Xavier Woods] Sherri Martel
having to make a choice between
154
00:06:08,735 --> 00:06:10,636
Rick Martel and Shawn Michaels-
155
00:06:10,637 --> 00:06:12,905
[Vince McMahon] You see Martel
checking Sherri out.
156
00:06:12,906 --> 00:06:14,940
Look at the hug.
157
00:06:14,941 --> 00:06:16,909
[Xavier Woods] -it was something
that you didn't always get the
158
00:06:16,910 --> 00:06:20,879
chance to see, that spotlight on
managers like that.
159
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,281
[Vince McMahon] Wait a minute.
160
00:06:22,282 --> 00:06:23,542
What happened to Sherri?
161
00:06:23,543 --> 00:06:25,184
[Bobby Heenan] She fainted.
162
00:06:25,185 --> 00:06:26,935
[Vince McMahon] She didn't
faint.
163
00:06:26,936 --> 00:06:27,920
[bell rings]
164
00:06:27,921 --> 00:06:28,954
[Vince McMahon] Both men counted
out.
165
00:06:28,955 --> 00:06:30,322
[Bobby Heenan] What are you
trying to say?
166
00:06:30,323 --> 00:06:31,757
[Vince McMahon] She was watching
these two men fight over her.
167
00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:32,959
Wait a minute.
168
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,060
[Bobby Heenan] You think that's
deliberate what she's doing?
169
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:36,395
[Sherri Martel] I got carried to
the dressing room.
170
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:37,730
Somewhere they got
a bucket of water.
171
00:06:37,731 --> 00:06:38,931
[Vince McMahon] Oh, no.
172
00:06:38,932 --> 00:06:40,033
What's he gonna do?
173
00:06:41,034 --> 00:06:42,869
"Sensational" Sherri is doused.
174
00:06:42,870 --> 00:06:45,537
[Sherri Martel] I got it right
in the face.
175
00:06:45,538 --> 00:06:49,542
[Bruce Prichard] She just had
the innate ability to enhance
176
00:06:49,643 --> 00:06:51,333
everything that she was a part
of.
177
00:06:52,912 --> 00:06:55,022
[Vince McMahon] She has been
humiliated.
178
00:06:55,023 --> 00:06:59,718
[Michael Cole] In his heyday,
"Classy" Freddie Blassie was one
179
00:06:59,719 --> 00:07:02,422
of the most despised men in
professional wrestling.
180
00:07:02,423 --> 00:07:04,957
And over the years, the
Hollywood fashion plate became
181
00:07:04,958 --> 00:07:08,661
one of the most feared managers,
leaving pencil neck geeks
182
00:07:08,662 --> 00:07:10,630
everywhere quaking in their
boots.
183
00:07:10,631 --> 00:07:12,498
[Freddie Blassie] You pencil
neck geeks.
184
00:07:12,499 --> 00:07:14,633
[Michael Cole] Blassie's
managing resume included the
185
00:07:14,634 --> 00:07:18,071
likes of Nikolai Volkoff,
"The Incredible" Hulk Hogan,
186
00:07:18,638 --> 00:07:21,007
and even the greatest
himself, Muhammad Ali.
187
00:07:21,008 --> 00:07:23,242
[Muhammad Ali] I'm going to
destroy wrestlers
188
00:07:23,243 --> 00:07:25,044
just like I destroyed
all fighters.
189
00:07:25,045 --> 00:07:25,911
Right, fans?
190
00:07:25,912 --> 00:07:27,313
[crowd cheers]
191
00:07:27,314 --> 00:07:28,981
[Michael Cole] But his greatest
accomplishment
192
00:07:28,982 --> 00:07:31,583
would come when Blassie himself
changed his style to meet
193
00:07:31,584 --> 00:07:36,256
that of his top star, Iran's
favorite son, The Iron Sheik.
194
00:07:36,257 --> 00:07:38,624
[Freddie Blassie] Whenever I'm
in the presence
195
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:41,660
of The Iron Sheik, I will be
called by my rightful name,
196
00:07:41,661 --> 00:07:43,430
"Ayatollah" Blassie.
197
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:49,101
[Michael Cole] In December of
1983, "Ayatollah" Blassie
198
00:07:49,102 --> 00:07:51,704
would lead The Sheik to the
world's most famous arena,
199
00:07:51,705 --> 00:07:53,872
Madison Square Garden,
where he would take on
200
00:07:53,873 --> 00:07:56,108
"The All-American Boy"
Bob Backlund
201
00:07:56,109 --> 00:07:57,811
for the WWE
Championship.
202
00:07:59,106 --> 00:08:05,050
[Freddie Blassie] Bob Backlund
knew wrestling from A to Z,
203
00:08:05,051 --> 00:08:07,320
and Arnold Skaaland
was his manager.
204
00:08:08,755 --> 00:08:12,659
I was without a doubt the most
hated man in wrestling
205
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:13,960
because I liked Iran.
206
00:08:13,961 --> 00:08:16,462
[Pat Patterson] He must be
hypnotized, calling himself
207
00:08:16,463 --> 00:08:18,697
"Ayatollah" Blassie.
208
00:08:18,698 --> 00:08:19,798
[Gorilla Monsoon] He hooked
Backlund back.
209
00:08:19,799 --> 00:08:20,799
He's right in the center of the
ring.
210
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,730
He's sitting right on that lower
back.
211
00:08:23,136 --> 00:08:25,486
[Pat Patterson] And Backlund's
got a bad neck.
212
00:08:27,273 --> 00:08:29,342
[Gorilla Monsoon] Oh, no.
213
00:08:29,343 --> 00:08:30,542
Backlund did not submit.
214
00:08:30,543 --> 00:08:32,111
Arnold Skaaland threw something
into the ring.
215
00:08:32,112 --> 00:08:33,246
[bell rings]
216
00:08:33,847 --> 00:08:37,817
[Freddie Blassie] And Arnold
conceded the match
217
00:08:37,917 --> 00:08:40,147
and the Sheik became the new
world champion.
218
00:08:40,148 --> 00:08:41,920
[Gorilla Monsoon] We have a new
champion
219
00:08:41,921 --> 00:08:43,121
in the World Wrestling-.
220
00:08:44,257 --> 00:08:47,207
[Paul Heyman] Freddie Blassie
was never the WWE Champion.
221
00:08:47,594 --> 00:08:50,462
The Iron Sheik winning the title
was a victory
222
00:08:50,463 --> 00:08:51,865
for Freddie Blassie.
223
00:08:51,866 --> 00:08:54,466
[Iron Sheik] I come to Madison
Square Garden
224
00:08:54,467 --> 00:08:56,101
with my greatest manager-
225
00:08:56,102 --> 00:08:57,136
[foreign language]
226
00:08:57,137 --> 00:08:58,203
[Iron Sheik] "Ayatollah"
Blassie,
227
00:08:58,204 --> 00:08:59,284
to try and get the belt.
228
00:08:59,285 --> 00:09:02,908
[Michael Cole] The Four Horsemen
truly were the symbol
229
00:09:02,909 --> 00:09:04,510
of excellence.
230
00:09:04,511 --> 00:09:06,278
The ruled the world of
professional wrestling
231
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:09,348
with an iron fist, and
looked good doing it.
232
00:09:09,349 --> 00:09:10,849
[JJ Dillon] We control
wrestling.
233
00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:13,140
We rule the world of
professional wrestling.
234
00:09:13,141 --> 00:09:14,920
[Michael Cole] Who better to
corral the horsemen
235
00:09:14,921 --> 00:09:17,190
than the infamous
James J Dillon?
236
00:09:17,191 --> 00:09:19,057
[JJ Dillon] Diamonds are
forever,
237
00:09:19,058 --> 00:09:20,459
and so are the Four Horsemen.
238
00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:21,628
Yeah.
239
00:09:21,629 --> 00:09:24,329
[Michael Cole] JJ Dillon looked,
spoke and dressed the part
240
00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:26,465
better than countless others,
but as clean cut as he looked,
241
00:09:26,466 --> 00:09:29,236
the job sometimes required you
to get your hands dirty.
242
00:09:29,237 --> 00:09:32,204
[JJ Dillon] If we have to be
vigilantes, we'll be vigilantes.
243
00:09:32,205 --> 00:09:34,273
[Michael Cole] After a match
with Dusty Rhodes landed
244
00:09:34,274 --> 00:09:36,108
Tully Blanchard on the
sidelines,
245
00:09:36,109 --> 00:09:38,999
JJ and the rest of his Horsemen
went for a little road trip.
246
00:09:39,566 --> 00:09:43,816
[JJ Dillon] This is how we
handle Dusty Rhodes.
247
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:44,783
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
248
00:09:44,784 --> 00:09:45,617
That's him.
249
00:09:45,618 --> 00:09:47,420
Ole and Arn right
on his tail.
250
00:09:47,421 --> 00:09:48,720
I don't think he's seen us.
251
00:09:48,721 --> 00:09:50,556
[Dusty Rhodes] They had the car,
and they had the camera guy,
252
00:09:50,557 --> 00:09:52,727
and they're waiting for
me to drive by them.
253
00:09:53,026 --> 00:09:54,106
[JJ Dillon] That's it.
254
00:09:54,107 --> 00:09:56,595
I think it was natural for the
Horsemen to kind
255
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:59,165
of focus everything on Dusty.
256
00:09:59,899 --> 00:10:03,029
Once we get him in that parking
lot, there's no turning around.
257
00:10:03,030 --> 00:10:04,470
[Paul Heyman] It was JJ's idea.
258
00:10:04,471 --> 00:10:08,674
It was JJ's strategy, and the
Four Horsemen implemented
259
00:10:08,675 --> 00:10:12,478
from the imagination
of JJ Dillion.
260
00:10:12,479 --> 00:10:13,679
[Dusty Rhodes] It was like a
hit.
261
00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:16,330
I mean, it was like they were
making a hit on the mafia.
262
00:10:18,612 --> 00:10:24,223
[JJ Dillon] It was an outcry for
us to have criminal charges
263
00:10:24,224 --> 00:10:26,391
brought against us for assault.
264
00:10:26,392 --> 00:10:27,760
Fans really bought into it.
265
00:10:28,074 --> 00:10:31,663
We were sending a message to
them that,
266
00:10:31,664 --> 00:10:32,865
"Hey, don't mess with us."
267
00:10:32,866 --> 00:10:35,234
We'll gang up, and be bullies,
and beat you up.
268
00:10:35,235 --> 00:10:36,668
How about it now, Rhodes, huh?
269
00:10:36,669 --> 00:10:37,636
How about it now?
270
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:39,037
[Ole Anderson/Arn Anderson] 86,
Rhodes.
271
00:10:39,038 --> 00:10:41,940
[Dusty Rhodes] A major attack on
the common man,
272
00:10:41,941 --> 00:10:43,909
the American Dream,
the plumber's son
273
00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:46,111
drew nothing but big money.
274
00:10:46,112 --> 00:10:48,762
[JJ Dillon] I want this to stand
as a warning, Rhodes.
275
00:10:48,763 --> 00:10:53,352
[Michael Cole] The Undertaker is
one of the most unique
276
00:10:53,353 --> 00:10:55,921
characters to ever exist in WWE
history.
277
00:10:55,922 --> 00:10:58,190
A Deadman of a few words,
Undertaker needed someone
278
00:10:58,191 --> 00:11:02,427
equally as extraordinary to give
him his ticket to superstardom.
279
00:11:02,428 --> 00:11:05,231
Enter a real-life mortician,
Paul Bearer.
280
00:11:05,865 --> 00:11:08,433
[Paul Bearer] Oh, were you
looking for me?
281
00:11:08,434 --> 00:11:10,936
[Michael Cole] Paul Bearer soon
became the herald of doom for
282
00:11:10,937 --> 00:11:14,107
any competitor willing to step
into the ring with The Phenom.
283
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:18,377
[Paul Bearer] Oh, what a busy
afternoon it's going to be
284
00:11:18,378 --> 00:11:20,046
at my funeral parlor.
285
00:11:20,047 --> 00:11:22,047
[Michael Cole] But after six
years together,
286
00:11:22,048 --> 00:11:24,183
the paranormal
partnership ended.
287
00:11:24,184 --> 00:11:25,450
[Jim Ross] I can't believe what
we're seeing.
288
00:11:25,451 --> 00:11:28,020
[Michael Cole] In 1997,
Undertaker confronted his former
289
00:11:28,021 --> 00:11:30,822
manager, and in response,
Paul Bearer delivered some
290
00:11:30,823 --> 00:11:33,860
astonishing news about
The Deadman's storied past.
291
00:11:34,961 --> 00:11:38,198
[Paul Bearer] Undertaker, this
is the beginning of your end.
292
00:11:41,501 --> 00:11:43,903
We're going to have
to go back a few years.
293
00:11:44,003 --> 00:11:46,672
We're talking about a little
funeral home.
294
00:11:46,673 --> 00:11:48,674
[Kofi Kingston] Paul Bearer was
so special because
295
00:11:48,675 --> 00:11:50,476
of his super high pitched voice.
296
00:11:50,477 --> 00:11:52,511
It really actually made you
listen.
297
00:11:52,512 --> 00:11:55,113
[Paul Bearer] But there were two
little kids there.
298
00:11:55,114 --> 00:11:58,784
One kid was a little red-headed
punk,
299
00:11:58,785 --> 00:12:01,955
and then there was a second
kid named Kane.
300
00:12:01,956 --> 00:12:04,890
[Road Dogg] I'm willing to
suspend my disbelief.
301
00:12:04,891 --> 00:12:07,660
It was all because of Paul,
and he knew what to say
302
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:08,994
and when to say it.
303
00:12:08,995 --> 00:12:13,665
[Paul Bearer] Undertaker, you
burned the funeral home
304
00:12:13,666 --> 00:12:15,300
to the ground.
305
00:12:15,301 --> 00:12:17,703
You killed your family,
Undertaker.
306
00:12:17,704 --> 00:12:19,538
[Bruce Prichard] Paul tells his
side of the story.
307
00:12:19,539 --> 00:12:21,707
He was left for dead.
308
00:12:21,708 --> 00:12:23,909
I showed him the love and the
care that you,
309
00:12:23,910 --> 00:12:26,745
as his blood, never did.
310
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:28,147
[Paul Bearer] Kane told me.
311
00:12:28,248 --> 00:12:30,382
Kane told me.
312
00:12:30,383 --> 00:12:32,384
[Undertaker] It breathed a
breath of fresh air in-
313
00:12:32,385 --> 00:12:33,852
in all those characters.
314
00:12:33,853 --> 00:12:37,022
[Paul Bearer] Kane is alive,
Undertaker.
315
00:12:37,023 --> 00:12:38,690
[Undertaker] He's alive.
316
00:12:38,691 --> 00:12:40,260
It was just the perfect storm.
317
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,294
[Paul Bearer] Kane's alive.
318
00:12:42,295 --> 00:12:43,862
I swear.
319
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:47,066
It's the truth.
320
00:12:49,715 --> 00:12:52,604
[Jimmy Hart] You know,
you're jealous.
321
00:12:52,605 --> 00:12:53,872
You're like everybody else in
the WWE.
322
00:12:53,873 --> 00:12:55,273
You're jealous of Jimmy Hart,
aren't you?
323
00:12:55,274 --> 00:12:57,175
[Michael Cole] Of all the
managers in professional
324
00:12:57,176 --> 00:12:59,378
wrestling history, "The Mouth of
the South" Jimmy Hart
325
00:12:59,379 --> 00:13:01,079
was one of the most colorful.
326
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,514
[Jimmy Hart] I told you, I told
you, I told you.
327
00:13:02,515 --> 00:13:03,749
He's the greatest
Intercontinental Champion
328
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:05,384
of all time.
329
00:13:05,385 --> 00:13:07,786
[Michael Cole] Once the manager
of the legendary tag team,
330
00:13:07,787 --> 00:13:09,921
the Hart Foundation, Jimmy would
help the duo capture
331
00:13:09,922 --> 00:13:11,958
their first world
tag team titles.
332
00:13:12,592 --> 00:13:13,992
[Vince McMahon] No, no, no.
333
00:13:13,993 --> 00:13:15,027
[Jesse Ventura] One, two, three.
334
00:13:15,028 --> 00:13:16,778
We have new champions of the
world.
335
00:13:16,779 --> 00:13:18,297
[Jimmy Hart] The greatest team
in the history
336
00:13:18,298 --> 00:13:19,978
of professional wrestling today.
337
00:13:19,979 --> 00:13:22,801
[Michael Cole] Unfortunately,
the Hart Foundation couldn't
338
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:23,942
remain on the same page.
339
00:13:23,943 --> 00:13:26,271
[Vince McMahon] Jimmy Hart
has been told off
340
00:13:26,272 --> 00:13:27,974
by the Hart Foundation.
341
00:13:27,975 --> 00:13:29,641
[Michael Cole] At WrestleMania
VII,
342
00:13:29,642 --> 00:13:31,476
the trio would be back in
the title scene.
343
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:34,546
Only this time, on opposite
sides of the ring.
344
00:13:34,547 --> 00:13:36,616
Things would get nasty.
345
00:13:36,617 --> 00:13:38,984
[Jimmy Hart] They're nasty, and
they're going to become the next
346
00:13:38,985 --> 00:13:41,320
World Wrestling- Tag
Team Champions.
347
00:13:41,895 --> 00:13:45,957
[Gorilla Monsoon] Hart
Foundation, tremendous
348
00:13:45,958 --> 00:13:49,294
champions, but that
little runt, Jimmy Hart,
349
00:13:49,295 --> 00:13:51,564
knows them very well.
350
00:13:51,565 --> 00:13:53,298
[Jimmy Hart] I turned on the
Hart Foundation
351
00:13:53,299 --> 00:13:54,701
for the Nasty Boys.
352
00:13:54,702 --> 00:13:57,135
[Gorilla Monsoon] Nasty Boys are
indeed just that, nasty.
353
00:13:57,136 --> 00:13:59,304
[Jake Roberts] Got that
megaphone always
354
00:13:59,305 --> 00:14:00,706
getting in the way.
355
00:14:00,707 --> 00:14:03,241
[Gorilla Monsoon] Boy, it
certainly is a shame to have
356
00:14:03,242 --> 00:14:04,509
to contend with that
individual on the outside
357
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:07,113
when they've got their
hands full on the inside.
358
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:11,383
[Paul Heyman] Jimmy Hart
was 115 pounds soaking wet,
359
00:14:11,384 --> 00:14:13,418
and yet he determined the
outcome of the match
360
00:14:13,419 --> 00:14:14,954
by his physical blabbing.
361
00:14:14,955 --> 00:14:18,623
[Gorilla Monsoon] This match
deteriorating now as the referee
362
00:14:18,624 --> 00:14:19,764
is losing control of it.
363
00:14:21,227 --> 00:14:22,794
He nailed him.
364
00:14:22,795 --> 00:14:23,929
[Bobby Heenan] This is it.
365
00:14:23,930 --> 00:14:25,263
This is it.
366
00:14:25,264 --> 00:14:26,198
[Gorilla Monsoon] It's over.
367
00:14:26,199 --> 00:14:26,598
[Bobby Heenan] We got new
champions.
368
00:14:26,599 --> 00:14:27,833
[bell rings]
369
00:14:27,834 --> 00:14:28,834
[Bruce Prichard] For him being
so integral into the finish,
370
00:14:28,835 --> 00:14:32,070
where the Nasty's were going to
become champions,
371
00:14:32,071 --> 00:14:34,106
that's a huge moment for Jimmy.
372
00:14:34,107 --> 00:14:35,474
[Bobby Heenan] Look at Jimmy
Hart.
373
00:14:35,475 --> 00:14:37,143
Is he happy?
374
00:14:37,243 --> 00:14:38,310
[Jimmy Hart] Wow.
375
00:14:38,311 --> 00:14:40,278
You know, what a great moment
that was.
376
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:42,114
[Gorilla Monsoon] History has
been made here
377
00:14:42,115 --> 00:14:43,483
at WrestleMania VII.
378
00:14:43,484 --> 00:14:46,551
[Michael Cole] There's nothing
that I despise
379
00:14:46,552 --> 00:14:48,821
more than a spoiled brat.
380
00:14:48,822 --> 00:14:51,590
No one could get your goat more
than the Louisville slugger
381
00:14:51,591 --> 00:14:53,226
himself, Jim Cornette.
382
00:14:53,227 --> 00:14:56,061
[Jim Cornette] After all, I am
one of the fastest-rising young
383
00:14:56,062 --> 00:14:57,563
managers in the world today.
384
00:14:57,564 --> 00:14:59,664
[Michael Cole] The fast talking
Kentuckian was master of
385
00:14:59,665 --> 00:15:03,169
agitation that could yap his way
out of a paper bag.
386
00:15:03,170 --> 00:15:05,670
[Jim Cornette] If I tell you the
sun's not going to come up
387
00:15:05,671 --> 00:15:08,240
tomorrow, you better go out and
buy you a flashlight.
388
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:10,742
[Michael Cole] Cornette gained
notoriety managing wrestlers in
389
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:14,347
promotions all over the country,
but in 1993, it was his arrival
390
00:15:14,447 --> 00:15:18,584
in WWE that really caught the
eyes of fans everywhere.
391
00:15:21,016 --> 00:15:23,555
[Bobby Heenan] Wait a minute.
392
00:15:23,556 --> 00:15:24,623
[Vince McMahon] He has
no business here.
393
00:15:24,624 --> 00:15:25,490
[crowd boos]
394
00:15:25,491 --> 00:15:26,658
[Bobby Heenan] Do you
know who that is?
395
00:15:26,659 --> 00:15:28,360
[Bruce Prichard] When you talk
about great managers
396
00:15:28,361 --> 00:15:32,030
in the history of the business,
Jim was the last of that bastion
397
00:15:32,031 --> 00:15:35,600
that had not been to
the WWE at that time.
398
00:15:35,601 --> 00:15:37,302
[Bobby Heenan] This, ladies and
gentlemen, is the greatest
399
00:15:37,303 --> 00:15:41,808
manager in the history of the
sport of wrestling.
400
00:15:42,475 --> 00:15:45,411
[Jim Cornette] The WWE, this
whole new group of fans.
401
00:15:46,145 --> 00:15:47,712
What are his aspirations?
402
00:15:47,713 --> 00:15:49,314
What's he mad about?
403
00:15:49,315 --> 00:15:50,549
Who's he made at?
404
00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:52,050
What's he want to accomplish?
405
00:15:52,051 --> 00:15:55,153
Let me just explain for all of
you genetic defects out here
406
00:15:55,154 --> 00:15:57,255
living downstream at the nuclear
plants.
407
00:15:57,256 --> 00:15:59,192
I hear you got some big fish up
here.
408
00:15:59,193 --> 00:16:00,625
[Bruce Prichard] For him to be
there,
409
00:16:00,626 --> 00:16:02,561
I think that that was a
monumental moment.
410
00:16:02,562 --> 00:16:04,062
[Jim Cornette] And then every
single one of these people
411
00:16:04,063 --> 00:16:07,999
will know that you're yellow
stinking dog curd cowards,
412
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,050
and I know you are.
413
00:16:09,051 --> 00:16:11,603
[Bobby Heenan] Ladies and
gentlemen,
414
00:16:11,604 --> 00:16:16,308
this man is going to set the
World Wrestling- on fire.
415
00:16:16,309 --> 00:16:20,746
[Paul Heyman] For Jim to debut
in WWE and get endorsed
416
00:16:20,847 --> 00:16:26,018
by Bobby Heenan, I think, added
so much to his legacy.
417
00:16:26,019 --> 00:16:27,385
[Bobby Heenan] You're here.
418
00:16:27,386 --> 00:16:28,420
You're really here.
419
00:16:28,421 --> 00:16:29,956
[Jim Cornette] I'm here.
420
00:16:32,474 --> 00:16:35,093
[Announcer] Bobby Heenan.
421
00:16:35,094 --> 00:16:36,628
[Michael Cole] One of the most
famous managers this industry
422
00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:40,967
has ever seen was simple known
as The Brain.
423
00:16:40,968 --> 00:16:42,868
[Bobby Heenan] I don't care how
big you are.
424
00:16:42,869 --> 00:16:45,670
If you don't have any brains,
you're lost.
425
00:16:45,671 --> 00:16:47,606
[Michael Cole] Heenan's crooked
practice has earned him another
426
00:16:47,607 --> 00:16:49,909
less flattering name,
The Weasel.
427
00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:52,043
[Bobby Heenan] You see any
whiskers?
428
00:16:52,044 --> 00:16:53,912
You see any nose here that looks
like a weasel's nose?
429
00:16:53,913 --> 00:16:56,148
Look at the ears on that sewer
rat.
430
00:16:56,149 --> 00:16:58,783
[Michael Cole] In 1988, Heenan
was locked in a rivalry
431
00:16:58,784 --> 00:17:00,185
with the Ultimate Warrior.
432
00:17:00,186 --> 00:17:02,621
The Brain would step into
the ring himself in a bout with
433
00:17:02,622 --> 00:17:05,390
the ultimate one, where
the loser would be forced
434
00:17:05,391 --> 00:17:07,393
to wear a weasel suit.
435
00:17:11,723 --> 00:17:14,733
[Gorilla Monsoon] Look at
Heenan,
436
00:17:14,734 --> 00:17:16,835
he wants the referee. He wants
an explanation done here.
437
00:17:16,836 --> 00:17:18,270
[Ultimate Warrior] Whenever you
saw a gimmick match like
438
00:17:18,271 --> 00:17:21,106
the Weasel Match with Bobby,
it's always about going out,
439
00:17:21,107 --> 00:17:23,037
and having fun, and
having a good show.
440
00:17:23,038 --> 00:17:25,043
[Bobby Heenan] If you can't
control him,
441
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:26,364
you get in the ring with him.
442
00:17:26,365 --> 00:17:29,447
[Tommaso Ciampa] Bobby Heenan
was one of the first villains
443
00:17:29,448 --> 00:17:30,528
that you loved to hate.
444
00:17:30,529 --> 00:17:34,019
[Gorilla Monsoon] Oh, he got him
with a big right hand.
445
00:17:34,020 --> 00:17:35,387
[Jimmy Hart] People loved the
Warrior, of course,
446
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:36,622
and they hated Bobby.
447
00:17:36,623 --> 00:17:38,223
[Gorilla Monsoon] He's cut off
the circulation to the brain.
448
00:17:38,224 --> 00:17:39,157
[bell rings]
449
00:17:39,158 --> 00:17:40,025
[Gorilla Monsoon] He's out.
450
00:17:40,026 --> 00:17:41,076
[crowd cheers]
451
00:17:41,077 --> 00:17:42,327
[Jimmy Hart] So, once he lost
that match and had
452
00:17:42,328 --> 00:17:43,595
to wear that suit, that really
put the cherry on top of it.
453
00:17:43,596 --> 00:17:46,932
[Bruce Prichard] Bobby Heenan
gets put to sleep, gets put into
454
00:17:46,933 --> 00:17:51,470
it while he's asleep, and you
slowly see the realization.
455
00:17:51,471 --> 00:17:54,239
[Gorilla Monsoon] He doesn't
know what's transpired.
456
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,273
Look at this.
457
00:17:55,274 --> 00:17:56,708
[Bruce Prichard] He goes to wipe
his face.
458
00:17:56,709 --> 00:17:58,210
"Wait a minute.
459
00:17:58,511 --> 00:17:59,612
I've got paws."
460
00:17:59,613 --> 00:18:01,479
[Gorilla Monsoon] Oh, look at
this, he's got the-
461
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,683
[Bruce Prichard] And
the crowd eats it up.
462
00:18:04,050 --> 00:18:06,152
Bobby has a match with himself.
463
00:18:07,553 --> 00:18:10,563
[Sean Mooney] I think we just
saw the ultimate humiliation.
464
00:18:10,564 --> 00:18:13,625
[Michael Cole] It's now time for
our number one moment.
465
00:18:13,626 --> 00:18:17,195
Over the years the role of the
manager has diminished,
466
00:18:17,196 --> 00:18:20,433
but one advocate's guidance has
stood the test of time.
467
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:24,470
[Paul Heyman] My name is
Paul Heyman.
468
00:18:24,471 --> 00:18:25,670
[crowd yells "Paul Heyman"]
469
00:18:25,671 --> 00:18:26,905
[Paul Heyman] The greatest
manager
470
00:18:26,906 --> 00:18:29,741
in Sports Entertainment history.
471
00:18:29,742 --> 00:18:31,643
[Michael Cole] Heyman has been
in the ear of some of the most
472
00:18:31,644 --> 00:18:33,445
successful superstars in
history,
473
00:18:33,446 --> 00:18:35,280
but in the main event of
WrestleMania 41,
474
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:38,149
Paul Heyman, the Wise
Man of the Tribal Chief,
475
00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:40,218
was caught in a
precarious position
476
00:18:40,219 --> 00:18:43,188
when his best friend and former
client, CM Punk,
477
00:18:43,189 --> 00:18:44,857
cashed in a
favor.
478
00:18:44,957 --> 00:18:48,226
[CM Punk] At WrestleMania in my
corner,
479
00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:51,364
your "Wise Man" Paul Heyman.
480
00:18:51,365 --> 00:18:54,332
[Michael Cole] Heyman would now
be in the corner of the Second
481
00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:57,836
City Saint in a triple threat
match against Roman Reigns
482
00:18:57,837 --> 00:18:59,638
and Seth "Freakin" Rollins.
483
00:19:03,075 --> 00:19:05,343
Paul Heyman is here in
Punk's corner.
484
00:19:05,344 --> 00:19:07,545
The question, guys,
though, is,
485
00:19:07,546 --> 00:19:09,548
where does his
allegiance really lie?
486
00:19:09,549 --> 00:19:12,217
[Johnny Gargano] That main event
was solely built
487
00:19:12,218 --> 00:19:16,254
around Paul Heyman's emotional
relationships
488
00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:18,357
with both Roman
Reigns and CM Punk.
489
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:20,892
[CM Punk] He's guided not only
my career
490
00:19:20,893 --> 00:19:23,195
but the careers of
so many others.
491
00:19:24,797 --> 00:19:28,066
[Paul Heyman] The holy grail in
WWE is the wisdom
492
00:19:28,067 --> 00:19:29,268
of Paul Heyman.
493
00:19:29,269 --> 00:19:32,671
[Roman Reigns] We've really kind
of created a bond
494
00:19:32,672 --> 00:19:35,106
that became very authentic
and very real.
495
00:19:35,107 --> 00:19:36,441
[Michael Cole] Can he get the
GTS?
496
00:19:36,442 --> 00:19:37,475
And he does to Rollins.
497
00:19:37,476 --> 00:19:38,710
Spear, though, by Reigns.
498
00:19:38,711 --> 00:19:39,878
Stomp by Seth.
499
00:19:39,879 --> 00:19:41,480
Everybody is down.
500
00:19:41,481 --> 00:19:43,748
[Tommaso Ciampa] And everyone's
going,
501
00:19:43,749 --> 00:19:45,739
"Well-Well, what's
Heyman gonna do?"
502
00:19:45,985 --> 00:19:48,395
[Michael Cole] Paul Heyman has
made his choice.
503
00:19:49,021 --> 00:19:50,188
Oh, no.
504
00:19:50,189 --> 00:19:53,793
Paul Heyman low blowed his best
friend, CM Punk.
505
00:19:55,594 --> 00:19:57,884
Paul Heyman has returned to his
Tribal Chief.
506
00:19:59,331 --> 00:20:01,299
Oh, my God.
507
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:03,001
[Tommaso Ciampa] Holy crap, he's
gonna walk out
508
00:20:03,002 --> 00:20:04,669
with Seth Rollins.
509
00:20:04,670 --> 00:20:06,471
[Roman Reigns] I trusted him.
510
00:20:06,472 --> 00:20:09,274
[Seth Rollins] When you get
someone on your side, like Paul
511
00:20:09,275 --> 00:20:11,910
Heyman, you're able to push some
things through.
512
00:20:11,911 --> 00:20:13,845
[Paul Heyman] Paul Heyman
decides who's gonna win-
513
00:20:13,846 --> 00:20:14,979
[bell rings]
514
00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:16,481
[Paul Heyman] and more
importantly,
515
00:20:16,482 --> 00:20:19,984
Paul Heyman decides which two
are going to lose.
516
00:20:19,985 --> 00:20:22,955
[Michael Cole] Benedict Heyman.
517
00:20:22,956 --> 00:20:26,858
Professional wrestling managers
are the architects of a
518
00:20:26,859 --> 00:20:29,627
superstar's success, but it
takes a great one to turn their
519
00:20:29,628 --> 00:20:33,031
superstar into a blockbuster
attraction.
520
00:20:33,032 --> 00:20:35,300
[Bobby Heenan] I'm gonna down in
the history books as the manager
521
00:20:35,301 --> 00:20:36,901
of the World Heavyweight
Champion.
522
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:38,103
[Michael Cole] That'll do it for
this edition
523
00:20:38,104 --> 00:20:40,071
of WWE's Greatest Moments.
524
00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:42,440
I hope you've enjoyed this look
back at some of the most pivotal
525
00:20:42,441 --> 00:20:44,926
manager moments in professional
wrestling history.
