WWE Hall of Famer “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase recently took to an episode of his “Everybody’s Got a Pod” podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including who he believes was a really good manager.
DiBiase said, “Do you mean just in general a manager, or somebody who managed me? Well, Bobby Heenan. Bobby Heenan could do it all. And you give him a microphone, and you just let him go. He was really good, in my opinion. And of course, Jimmy Hart. Jimmy Hart was a good manager.”
The time when Sherri was his manager:
“And of course for a while, I had Sherri. And let me tell you something: Sherri was good. It’s kind of like, if I was going to have somebody as a manager I would rather have somebody who I had to grab and kind of pull back in instead of, ‘You got to do more.’ With Sherri, it was, ‘Whoa whoa, whoa whoa.’ You want to make the special moment special, and if you do too much you kind of blow it. But again, as a manager, she did really well. She worked very well with me and she got plenty of heat.”
How he really admired Sherri’s toughness:
“Oh, exactly. I mean and listen, and when she was before — Oh, gosh, I knew Sherri way, way back when I was first starting. I mean, I remember she was down when she was in Baton Rouge and I can’t remember — obviously, when I first met her and I can’t even remember if she was seeing one of the guys or whatever. But I just recognized a toughness in her. I mean Sherri, I’ll be honest with you. She wouldn’t take crap off anybody. She’d stand up right up to one of the guys if they went the wrong way with her. So. And I always admired that, you know, ‘Good for you.’”
