10 Forgotten WWE Managers You Totally Don't Remember

Poor Oliver Humperdink debuted in the WWF at the worst possible time.

He came over from the NWA in 1987, but struggled to find house room next to ringside icons like Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart. Also, Oliver was a babyface manager, and that wasn't really something the federation handled well during the era. Things might've been different had he been heel instead.

Humperdink managed Bam Bam Bigelow (during his own initial and definitely out of place face run) and Paul Orndorff during his stay with the promotion. By mid-1988, he was on the outs and back in the Alliance right before it changed to WCW. So much for making a splash in the WWF big time, eh?

In retrospect, Oliver's presentation was all over the bloody place. Bam Bam's flame motif and head tattoos didn't really jive with Humperdink's garish Wizard Of Oz look. It was an odd fit, and it certainly didn't help that the manager's promos were too friendly and tame either.
