17 Early 90s WWE Superstars You Totally Don't Remember

8. Reverend Slick

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 €œClassie€ Freddie Blassie, who€™s 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 5€™11, 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.
