Kenneth Johnson was a manager from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, back when managers actually mattered. He started by taking over many of the managerial duties of Classie Freddie Blassie, whos health was beginning to deteriorate in 1986. Though he started off as just Slick, he later added the Reverend prefix to it, preaching positive messages to his charges and to the audience, though without of any the religiosity of being a reverend involved. Some of the stars he managed included Akeem the African Dream, the Bolsheviks, Rick Martel, The Warlord, and Power and Glory. Ironically, despite being billed as 511, he was actually much taller, and sometimes was even taller than the Superstars he managed. This was a problem, as managers were normally smaller than their charges to make them look bigger. He achieved mild success as a manager, though nowhere near as much as many of the legendary managers like Captain Lou Albano, the Grand Wizard, or Blassie himself. He did, however win a Slammy for Best Personal Hygiene, proving that lame, throwaway awards are not something new to the Slammy awards.
