One of the greatest pure entertainers of our time. Maybe not as well known because he worked in a niche business. But Heenan could do it all.
He made you hate him but he would make you laugh at the same time. A hell of a worker and bumper in his early days as well. Greatest color commentator and manager of all time.
Tonight is a night to binge the WWEN and be reminded how it's supposed to be done.

WWE Hall of Famer Bobby “The Brain” Heenan passes away
WWE is saddened to learn that WWE Hall of Famer Bobby Heenan, regarded by many as the greatest manager in sports-entertainment history, has passed away at age 73.
With a career spanning more than four decades, Bobby Heenan was the “The Brain” behind some of the most prolific Superstars in sports-entertainment history. Heenan plied his trade as their mischievous manager by running his mouth on their behalf with a sarcastic wit considered among the best in the business.
Heenan named competitors under his guidance as the Heenan Family, a moniker meant to show the strength of their alliance over any of their opposition. Members of the Heenan Family in the AWA and WWE read like the who’s who of sports entertainment, including legends and WWE Hall of Famers such as Nick Bockwinkel, the Blackjacks, Big John Studd, King Kong Bundy, "Ravishing" Rick Rude, "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig, the Brain Busters (Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard), Harley Race, and of course, the first WWE Hall of Famer, Andre the Giant, whom Heenan led to the ring at WrestleMania III before 93,173 fans.
As impossible as it may seem, Heenan’s overwhelming success as a manager was matched by that of his announcing career. Heenan’s constant verbal jousts with fellow WWE Hall of Famers Gorilla Monsoon and “Mean” Gene Okerlund on USA Network remain among the most entertaining moments in sports-entertainment history. In fact, “The Brain” was so entertaining, that "The Bobby Heenan Show" had a brief run on USA Network as well.
WWE extends its condolences to Heenan’s family, friends and fans.

Well frick. There goes a big piece of my childhood. Would watch him every Monday on prime time wrestling in grade school. Remember when Rick rude got stuck in Florida and he ended up wrestling roddy piper in a cage at uno lakefront arena in the late 80s. Dude took all kinds of bumps all over the cage.

It's not Fair to Flair!

I couldn't stand that douche when I was a kid but I think that what he was going for.
Posted on 9/17/17 at 8:53 pm to lsutigersFTW
Imo he was the greatest manager and greatest cohost of a broadcast in wrestling history. Going to miss him.
Posted on 9/17/17 at 9:06 pm to lsutigersFTW
Rest well Weasel. He is the GOAT! He is probably one of the all time greatest performers in wrestling history. My favorite quote from him was from a gimmick battle royal at Wrestlemania 17 I think. "By the time the Iron Sheik makes it to the ring it will be Wrestlemania 36!"
