Name: Bruno Lauer Active Date(s): 1991-1995 Notable Wrestlers Managed: Big Bully Busick, The Warlord, Sid Justice, Kamala, Giant Gonzalez, Adam Bomb Harvey Wippleman was a small shrimp of a man, and he was always paired with large, intimidating wrestlers to juxtapose with their strength. He had a mousy, irritable face that you wanted to slap, and he was the worst type of bully the geek who calls other people geeks. And promo wise? Her was second string, at best. There was no variation in his voice and nothing smart about his delivery none of that taunting wit or cleverness that a fan would boo in the moment, but love in hindsight. Wippleman was eh. And in the WWE Universe, where every character is larger than life, its hard to get behind someone like that.
