Trivia - Super Dave is the brother of Albert Brooks.

More trivia - Dave’s real name is Bob Einstein and Brooks’ real name is Albert Einstein. No shite.

The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated.

You can still get them at some convenience stores up here in South Dakota. The Coffee Cup on I-29 by Sisseton, SD is one place I know. Mean Gene was from Sisseton, so that makes sense.

The only time I ever saw one was in the exchange mall on Camp Lejeune.

Man. We can talk about the greatest play-by-play man, the best backstage interviewer, etc...

Nobody. But nobody, made me smile and laugh like Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan, as a color commentator. Best mic skills of all time.

I guess they've had a lot of practice over the years, but WWF always seems to knock these death tribute videos out of the park
