#5 The Giant and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan:
Trending
Bobby Heenan is regarded as the greatest manager of all time, because of his seamless ability to marry his promo skills and old school psychology with his incredible comedy chops. However, let’s not forget that he has cornered some of the greatest wrestlers in some of the biggest matches around the world.
In fact, it is his involvement in the feud between Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant that lands him a spot on this list.

Paul Wight has gone by several names, throughout his wrestling career. During his stint with WCW, he performed under the ring name“The Giant” and even won the WCW Heavyweight Championship from Hogan on debut. He would continue to feud with “the Hulkster” until the latter turned heel and formed the NWO.
The formation of the NWO also provided a remarkable opportunity to recapture the magic of one of the most iconic feuds of all time. It simply required The Giant to be positioned as the strong baby face with Heenan, who was a WCW commentator at the time, in his corner.
This would have effectively recaptured the dynamic of the Hogan-Andre feud, only with the roles reversed and the added layer of the WCW-NWO feud in the backdrop.
