Paul Ellering (born August 22, 1953) is an American professional wrestling manager and retired professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE, where he serves as the manager for the Authors of Pain and The Final Testament. Ellering spent most of his wrestling career managing the Road Warriors (Hawk and Animal) working with them from 1983 to 1990 and again on occasion between 1992 and 1997. In addition to being their on screen manager, he handled the team's affairs outside the ring, including contract negotiations and travel arrangements. Ellering and the Road Warriors were inducted into both the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011. Five years later, in June 2016, he returned to the ring at NXT TakeOver: The End as the manager of the Authors of Pain, a heel tag team making their debut. Ellering has been labeled as one of the greatest wrestling managers of all time.[5][6]
Prior to becoming a manager he was a professional wrestler, but due to injuries retired in 1983 to become a full-time manager, only wrestling on special occasions. In the late-1990s, he was involved in a storyline where he actually turned on the Road Warriors and managed Disciples of Apocalypse as they fought the Road Warriors. After retiring from full-time activity in wrestling, he raced in the Iditarod and John Beargrease Dog Sled Race.
