* Ascended Extra: Opened both his careers in WWE and WCW television as a referee.
* Bald of Evil: Heel, dating back to his days as a manager in NWA and WCW. Although during those early days he was bald on top with a greasy mullet in the back, rather than completely bald.
* Improbable Weapon User: He threw shoes at people.

* Improbable Weapon User: ImprobableWeaponUser: He threw shoes at people.


Added DiffLines:

* BigApplesauce: Legitimately born and raised in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: His last appearance for WCW came at the 2000 Souled Out pay-per-view. In an interview with "Mean" Gene Okerlund, he said he had to take care of some business and then left, never to appear in WCW again.
* LoanShark: Came to WCW in the first place with the Mamalukes to get Disco Inferno to pay the money he borrowed.
* MeaningfulName: Averted with his post-WCW name Tony Mamaluke. Mamaluke is an Italian insult translating roughly to 'knucklehead', but Tony got the name from Joey Styles' attempts at finding a better last name for him than Marinara.
* NonActionGuy: He was never booked to wrestle in WCW despite having been trained by Dean Malenko. He only managed the Mamalukes, and left them in relatively short order. ECW took a shot at WCW over wasting Tony's talent when he signed with them.
* PowerStable: The Full-Blooded Italians in ECW and WWE, EV 2.0 in TNA.
* TagTeam: The Full Blooded Italians, with Little Guido. The FBI had at various times other members, but the core duo was always Guido and Mamaluke. He also had The Purists with John Walters in ROH.
* ThrowItIn: When he first arrived in ECW, Wrestling/JoeyStyles said that Tony Marinara was a stupid name, and after trying to figure out a good last name for him, settled on Mamaluke (after The Mamalukes, who Tony had managed in WCW).
* WritingAroundTrademarks: TNA called him "Tony Luke" at their Hardcore Justice show since WWE owned the trademark on the Tony Mamaluke name.

adding a few WCW exclusive tropes to Teddy Long, since his article is 99% WWE stuff.

Added DiffLines:

*AbusiveParents: Not necessarily a parent, but he was in charge of Norman the Lunatic. He could send Norman back to the Asylum at will, and he carried around a key to keep Norman in line

*Improbable Weapon User: He threw shoes at people.
*PowerStable: Ran two in WCW. Neither had proper names. One in the early 90s had The Skyscrapers (Vicious and Spivey) and Norman the Lunatic in it. The other was in the late 90s. It was called Quittin' Time, consisted of Jim Powers and "Hardwork" Bobby Walker, never appeared on anything besides the C and D shows like ''WCW Pro'' and ''WCW Worldwide''.

to:

!!! [[Wrestling/KingCurtisIaukea The Master]] (King Curtis Master (Curtis Iaukea, 1995)
* BaldOfEvil: As The Master, he had no hair on the top of his head, just an immense amount of deep scars.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He was just phased out of the Dungeon slowly until he disappeared and was never mentioned again.
* CoveredWithScars: Seriously, just look at his head. While not often mentioned in the same breath as [[Wrestling/EdFarhat the Sheik]] or Wrestling/AbdullahTheButcher in the pantheon of pioneering {{Garbage Wrestler}}s, he could keep right up with them in the brawling and bleeding departments.
* EvilOldFolks: He was in his late 50s during his time as The Master, but between the grey beard, shapeless robe, spider webs all over, he really did look ancient.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Where did he come from? Why did he hate Hulk Hogan? What did he have to gain from ending Hulkamania? We never learned...
* GoodScarsEvilScars: The deep jagged scars all over his head put him well into Evil.
* GreaterScopeVillain: While having more of a defined personality than most [=GSVs=], all he ever really did was conjure up new wrestlers for Kevin Sullivan to throw at Hulk Hogan.
* TheMaster: It was only his {{Stage Name|s}}, after all.
* NoIndoorVoice: ''"NOOOOOO INDOOR VOICE, MYYYYYYYY SONNNNNN!"'''
* PowerStable: He was the original leader of Wrestling/TheDungeonOfDoom. Before that he was in a number of stables in the territorial days.
* WrestlingFamily: His son Rocky Iaukea competed in the Pacific Northwest and in the WWC in Puerto Rico as Abbuda Dein. This is not the same guy as "The Master of Darkness"[=/=]"The Snakemaster" Abudadein, who was a manager in the Army of Darkness and has since led his own group with that same name in the Florida independents. WCW's Prince Iaukea, real name Mike Haynor, is not really King Curtis' son. His nephew Maunakea Mossman is best known for his work in Wrestling/AllJapanProWrestling as Taiyo Kea.

to:

!!! Wrestling/PreciousPaulEllering, Paul Ellering, (1986-1990)
* TheArtifact: His 'Precious' moniker was created for his muscular prettyboy character, but he continued using it well after he switched over to the bald bearded look.
* TheBusCameBack: Twice.
** When he and the Road Warriors came back to WWF in 1998 after having been wrestling elsewhere for several years, he was booked to turn on the Road Warriors and manage the Disciples of Apocolypse[[note]]a biker gang stable consisting of [[Wrestling/BrianAdams Crush]], [[Wrestling/BrianLee Chainz]], Skull and 8-Ball[[/note]]. Ellering actually hated working against the Road Warriors.
** In 2016, when he was reintroduced as the manager of The Authors of Pain in ''Wrestling/{{WWENXT}}'', although he left when they got promoted to the main roster.
* DragonInChief: When Wrestling/JimmyHart attempted to takeover The King's Army from Wrestling/JerryLawler, he needed someone who could actually fight, someone who would be more loyal to him than Lawler, so Hart brought in Ellering.
* GorgeousGeorge: During his days as a wrestler he dabbled in this trope. He had a massively muscular physique back in the days when this was a rarity in pro wrestling, and he showed it off at all opportunities. He also had long curly blonde hair and a gaudy robe. He never really acted effeminate, but he did sometimes offer to let his opponent feel his muscles. Plus there was his nickname of Precious.
* HairTodayGoneTomorrow: During his days as an active wrestler he had a gloriously blond curly mullet. By the time he became a manager he'd switched over to a shiny shaved head.
* HypercompetentSidekick: In RealLife, Ellering personally booked Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors' matches, scheduled their flights, set up hotel reservations, and kept track of expenses. Since he had been a wrestler before this, and is a member of UsefulNotes/{{MENSA}}, he absolutely qualifies for GeniusBruiser.
* PowerStable:
** (as a wrestler): [[Wrestling/JimmyHart The First Family]], in Memphis
** (as a manager): The original Legion of Doom, in Georgia.
* RedBaron: "Precious" and "Mr. [=DotCom=]".
* WrestlingFamily: His daughter Rachael, who competes for ''NXT'' as Rachael Evers.
