Wippleman was involved in some of the more ridiculous matches in that era, including the Tuxedo Match against his rival, ring announcer Howard Finkel (R.I.P.).
He also became the first man to win the WWE Women’s Championship belt, while dressed as a woman and going under the faux persona Hervina.
Having started his career off wrestling and managing in independent wrestling promotions around the South, Bruno Lauer took his Harvey Wippleman persona to the WWE (then WWF) in the 1990s, serving as a great foil as a manager for wrestlers such as Giant Gonzalez and Kamala.
