Manager (professional wrestling)

A manager, in professional wrestling, is a secondary character paired with a wrestler (or wrestlers) for a variety of reasons; a female manager is usually called a valet. The manager is often either a non-wrestler, an occasional wrestler, an older wrestler who has retired or is nearing retirement or, in some cases, a new wrestler who is breaking into the business (or a specific company) and needs the experience in front of the crowds. The wrestler that a manager manages is called his or her charge. A wrestler's manager has nothing to do with their real-world agent.
