All-time handlers
Dan West, Bill Dempsey, Gregg Gethard, Roger Albrecht and Dave Brunk/Jon Katz/Steve Thomas (three way tie
)
Right now...
West - Still performing at a high level, even though he doesn't have the gold to show for it until recently at least in A1E. Four feds and he's a dependable, creative and productive member of all.
Seth Silviera - The heart and soul of ACW. Seriously, no one has the passion for the hobby of those I've seen. I mean, he gets passionate over jobber tournaments. Any fed would be lucky to have him as a handler.
Karl Brown - He's a workhorse, and quietly, he's built himself an impressive resume. No one thought he was going to walk away with the TEAM Tournament, let alone take two characters to the semifinals of said tournament, plus he's the EPW IC Champ and a World Title contender, plus he's building along Mr. E finely in NEW. Any discussion of great handlers has to include Karl, and I think we're at a point where he's no longer FW's best kept secret.
Michael McNichols - I used to be on the fence about Manson as a character until this season in NFW when I saw the things he was doing. Add that to the dedication he puts into the East putting other characters over and making it the most underrated (half?)-fed in all of e-wrestling, and you get someone who deserves a mention.
Phil Banet - Much like Seth is for ACW, Phil is the heart and soul of A1E. He brought his secondary character out of nowhere and built him into a fine main eventer, and despite jobbing every other week with his main character, he's still one of the most over characters in the fed. Plus, something can be said about overcoming your apprehensions and trying new territory. Plus, he's one of two other bloggers besides me who updates semi-regularly. That has to count for something
All-Time Characters...
Professor Tremendous, Olvir Arsvinnar, Lowell Dot Com, Mr. Hyde, Promo
Right now...
Arsvinnar - C'mon, he's a pornographic viking. What's not to love?
Eddie Mayfield - Like I said on my blog, if you don't mark for Mayfield, you have no soul.
Yori Yakamo, Jr. - He takes absurd, sexually explicit comedy to great new heights. I think I knew great things were in store from his short stint in MBE, and I was hoping to see him make a comeback. Got my wish with NFW, and the rest is history.
Andrew Sharp - I was taken with Sharpie from the moment I started reading ACW shows. Not afraid to work the old school angles in with a new age attitude. Plus the heel turn was among the best things I've seen in the past year.
Mike Wade - AWC... he at one point was a triple Champion, but has since lost all his belts (one through losing his smile, the other two legit). Still one of hte most entertaining reads on any AWC card, and if you check out AWC, be sure to zero in on the Wadester.
