John Tolos

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Tolos was a former wrestler from the 1960's who also managed Mr. Perfect (Curt Hennig) for a short stint in 1991 replacing Perfect's former manager Bobby 'the Brain' Heenan (moving into a broadcaster's role). The run proved unsuccessful as Mr. Perfect lost his Intercontinental Title to Bret Hart at SummerSlam. Prior to this match, Hennig suffered a serious back injury, but he still showed up to drop the title to Hart. The injury would sideline Hennig from competition for more than a year afterwards, as he did not return to active competition until the Survivor Series in 1992. With his only wrestler indefinitely out of action, "Coach" John Tolos disappeared quietly from WWF screens with no further explanation.
