The lapsed fan and cranky fan alike will eat a scoop of Member Berries before exclaiming, "'Memba managers in wrestling?" These days, with Vince allegedly hating managers due to being "too rasslin'-ish", nostalgic fans are more and more inclined to look back at the golden age of underhanded ringside seconds.

Survivor Series 1987 is infested with a who's who of managers. In fact, the 20-man tag (in which five heel tag teams faced five babyface ones) included five different managers for the five heel teams.

The Hart Foundation came out with Jimmy Hart, while the Islanders were escorted by Bobby Heenan. Demolition had Mr. Fuji, and The Bolsheviks were accompanied by Slick. Rounding out the group was Johnny V for The New Dream Team, in his last notable appearance before leaving WWE shortly thereafter.
