Place in History - Saul Weingeroff was the first legendary pro-wrestling manager and he set the standard high for other managers who went through Nick Gulas’ promotion after him. A long-time wrestler himself, Weingeroff worked undercard matches and special attraction matches into the 1970s, but it was managing that really made him a well-known figure. His first charges were his greatest successes - the Von Brauners. A pair of Nazis who knew every dirty trick in tag team wrestling made for great heels in America’s Heartland. To supplement their heat was “Gentleman” Saul Weingeroff, a German Jew, acting as their manager. Well-dressed and well-spoken, Weingeroff played the stereotype to a tee and garnered great heat. At ringside, he distracted the referee, wielded a cane and from time to time threw fireballs. After the Von Brauners left to make money elsewhere, Weingeroff stayed to managed numerous other tag teams although none at the level of his first. He became involved in feuds with up-and-coming heel managers Dr. Ken Ramey and J.C. Dykes. Weingeroff left a couple times for rival groups, which never lasted and he had short stints in other territories, but had settled in the Nashville area. His son, George, was an excellent amateur and enjoyed a long pro career, many of them as a babyface in Nashville. After retiring from pro-wrestling, Saul Weingeroff had left a significant impression on a number of managers. Other than those he feuded with, Jimmy Hart and Jim Cornette, stand out as legendary managers who saw and learned from the master.
