Grand Wizard

[10.0] "The Grand Wizard was legitimately great at being a manager and was good TV. Often WWE likes to hype it's own history as the flawless be all end all, only for it's impact or importance to be mostly or entirely a fabrication; this guy delivered and his material ages awesomely. The Grand Wizard's mic work was as good as it ever could possibly get and he was always there to talk up his wrestler in an eloquent and sincere manner; always endorsing and elevating, never over shadowing. Top class, shame he passed so early, I could have gone for some golden era Grand Wizard. A definite gem! EDIT: Wrestling history is circling the drain on peacock. I wanted to reinforce my rating and also say i wish i owned his outfits. What a LOOK on top of the excellent work."

[5.0] "One of the original eccentric managers who knew how to trash talk. Unfortunately he died before the national expansion would kick off so many of the new fans of the 80's missed out on his material."

[10.0] "One of the greatest heel manager of all time. The guy attire and suits were amazing and colorful. He helped many wrestlers in their careers. Managed wrestlers like the Sheik in Detroit, Mr. Fuji and Prof. Tanaka, WWWF Champion Superstar Billy Graham, and Sgt. Slaughter."

[10.0] "He was one of the most colorful wrestling managers in history, taking on not one but two different highly successful characters and representing some of the most accomplished professional wrestlers in the business as Abdullah Farouk and then as The Grand Wizard! Abdullah Farouk the "Middle Eastern handler" sent by The Org Sheik's wealthy "family" to look after their son's affairs in America. Fez wearing Farouk in addition to trying to maintain control over his crazed protégé disses insult all of the U. S. fans in the audience or watching on TV, The "Arabian" duo reached great success during their partnership which lasted nearly five years and Farouk led The Sheik to title after title during the 1960's. then in the wwwf he became the Grand Wizard of Wrestling the devious and flamboyant manager. quickly burst into the wwwf storyline lending his large vocabulary and quick wit to his various protégés 2 heel world champs Stan Stasiak, Superstar Billy Graham then a bunch of I. C Champs Pat Patterson, Greg Valentine, Ken Patera, and Don Muraco then 2x wwwf world tag team champs Mr Fuji and Prof. Toru Tanaka then a hosts of world title challengers! He is the org template of a heel manager! was a pioneer of "manager interference", occasionally cheated on behalf of his men tripping up an opponent ordistracting the referee, somewhat common actions todays standards came and popular by him, a monster pure heat magnet the prototype of today's heel manager,"
