10 WWE Wrestlers Who Were Nothing Without Their Managers
5. King Kong Bundy
It may seem a little harsh on WrestleMania 2 main eventer King Kong Bundy to suggest that he was the right big guy at the right time with the right manager in Bobby Heenan. But the 93,173(ish) that turned out for Andre The Giant the following year almost certainly wouldn't have been as keen for their cage match.
He'd been given Jimmy Hart and a record-setting win at the inaugural 'Show Of Shows' to help enhance his aura up to that point, and he was a very serviceable heel from the factory Vince McMahon ran to keep Hulkamania running, but the one-and-done spot at the top was both the measure of the machine and his work at the time.
This was made all the clearer by his 1994 return. Installed as The Corporation's heavy with Ted Dibiase, Bundy's natural size should have been a free hit for the company during testing times , but he never once felt threatening to the likes of Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels - those once rendered miniscule by his kind a decade earlier.
