Paul Ellering (born August 22, 1953) is an American professional wrestling manager and retired professional wrestler.

Ellering is best known for managing the Road Warriors from 1983 until 1992 during their stints in Georgia Championship Wrestling, the American Wrestling Association, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, All-Japan Pro Wrestling, Jim Crockett Promotions / World Championship Wrestling, and the World Wrestling Federation in 1992. Ellering was also the real-life manager for the team; he booked their matches, lined up their flights, set up hotel reservations, and kept track of their expenses.

Retiring as an in-ring performer in 1983 due to injuries, Ellering spent most of his wrestling career managing the Road Warriors, working with them from 1983 to 1990 and again on occasion between 1992 and 1997. From 1998 to 1999, he briefly managed Disciples of Apocalypse. Ellering and the Road Warriors were inducted into both the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011. In 2016, he returned to WWE at NXT TakeOver: The End as the manager of the Authors of Pain until 2018. He made his second on-screen return in 2024 as part of The Final Testament until his departure in 2025.

Before entering the wrestling business, Ellering was an accomplished powerlifter, setting a world record in the deadlift at 745 pounds (338 kg) a record that has since been beaten.

Ellering was trained in Minneapolis, Minnesota at a camp run by American Wrestling Association (AWA) owner and promoter Verne Gagne and wrestler/trainer Eddie Sharkey in the mid-1970s. According to Ellering's RF Video shoot interview, of the thirty-plus trainees in the camp, only himself and later AWA mid-card wrestler Steve Olsonoski (a.k.a. Steve O) made it through the camp. Ellering would later go on to wrestle in singles and tag teams for Gagne in the AWA, Bill Watts's Mid-South promotion, and for Jerry Jarrett's Memphis promotion, where he was paired with manager Jimmy Hart. Ellering became known as "Precious" Paul Ellering. His notable feuds were with Jesse Ventura as a face, and as a heel with Jerry Lawler and Jimmy Valiant, from whom he won the AWA Southern Heavyweight Championship.

In April and May 1981, Ellering wrestled in Japan for the International Wrestling Enterprise promotion as part of its Big Challenge Series. During the tour, Ellering and Terry Latham defeated Mighty Inoue and Rusher Kimura in a two-out-of-three falls match to win the IWA World Tag Team Championship. Kusatsu and Inoue regained the titles Ellering and Latham from 12 days later.

While wrestling for Mid-South Wrestling from 1980 to 1982, Ellering severely injured his knee in a match with Robert Gibson. He started doing workout segments with kids for Mid South, re-injuring it after returning to the ring. The injury ended his full-time wrestling career.

Georgia booker Ole Anderson recognized his speaking ability, however, and gave him a job as a manager. Ellering formed a stable named the Legion of Doom including such wrestlers as The Spoiler, Jake Roberts and the Road Warriors. This was later reduced down to just the Warriors who held the NWA National Tag Team Championship three times.
