I heard this morning that he was once Ric Flairs manager. Why did Ric Flair need a manager?

Generally managers are really just the mouthpiece for wrestlers that suck on the mic.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

The manager is there to stir the pot, to keep the audience riled up, and (when necessary) aid their client by cheating, be it in or out of the ring.

For crappy wrestlers, yes. Flair didn't need any help stirring the pot.

The Brain was the vehicle the WWF used to announce Ric Flair's defection (actually he was fired while champion) from WCW to the WWF.

How old was he? There is a website that lists dead pro wrestlers. Its shocking to see how young most were when they passed. Late 40's or early 50's seems to be the norm.

He was 73, sounds like cancer got the best of him.

My childhood memories were crushed when George "The Animal" Steele passed away.

He was the headliner for the one and only wrestling event I ever attended, in Salisbury, MD.
