Wrestling managers, no, not like that
By Scott Keith on 27 March 2025
Hey Scott,
In all my years of watching and loving wrestling, circa 35+ years, Do wrestlers have managers, agents if you like, in real life. As a football (soccer) fan, I know and understand pretty much every pro footballer, of whatever level, will have an agent/manager. I am sure the same is true in big North American sports like football, hockey, basketball, baseball etc.
In the background, behind the scenes, do wrestlers?
One assumes the giants of The Rock, Austin, Hogan, Cena, Roman, Rollins, Punk, Moxley, Cope, MJF, all probably do have some kind of business manager to negotiate fees, deals, contracts, appearances, merch, likeness and image rights, other media etc. But do the likes of say Chad Gable, The Viking Raiders, Top Flight, Scorpio Sky, Kazarian, and on and on have managers/agents?
Most do these days, yeah. Given how high-stakes the contracts have become, you kinda need to.
