Well he's definitely in a better place now. He was in rough shape for a long, long time.

 

[DMczaf]

Sucks that Vince basically black balled him after WCW died

 

[Beefy]

RIP

 

[RecRoulette]

RIP Bobby Heenan. A goddamn legend.

 

[Hasney]

Well fuck.

At least his Hall of Fame speech is still the GOAT

[ghostmind]

RIP to an amazing commentator, manager and entertainer.

 

[ShadyK54]

Fuck.

Damn. :/

RIP

It's amazing when you consider what Heenan did for him.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Heenan :'(

 

[Egg0]

Ughhhhh. I saw "The Brain" trending on twitter and I thought it was random internet nonsense.

RIP.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Heenan may be my favorite commentator of all time. Some of what he said at times was questionable in hindsight, but it's aged just fine. He was a great heel. Always managed to to be a chicken shit when in the corner for guys. His run in WCW was fantastic when he really started to get fed up with the bullshit.

I just realized he and Go-rilla are in the afterlife together again. I'm not much of a heaven/hell guy but I sure hope there is a desk set up for them just so Heenan can drive him nuts.

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

Heenan constantly mocking Hacksaw Jim Duggan was hilarious.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Heenan's selling of Flair in the '92 Rumble is legendary.

 

[Anth0ny]

BUT WHO'S SIDE IS HE ON?!??!?!???!

[Zach]

R.I.P. Bobby Heenan. The greatest of all time. We humanoids did not deserve The Brain.

"It's not a kilt, it's a skirt!"

RIP Brain.

R.I.P Heenan

 

[formated4tv]

Today I was listening to the Brooklyn Brawler episode of TIJ, and they told a few stories about Heenan. I was thinking about him while driving around and all the nonsense he was a part of/wondered what he was up to at the moment. When they mentioned how Brawler didn't want to talk bad about Warrior, I thought about how rough Heenan was looking them (skinny/old), and was really curious how he was holding up still.

Really weird timing.

RIP Brain. Glad you and Gorilla are back together. I will always remember you calling Tito Santana's finisher the flying burrito, hahaha.

 

[avengers23]

RIP Bobby Heenan.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Mr Lariato is on a tweet spree of great Heenan pictures

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Ugh. RIP The Brain. You were the best.

 

[shaowebb]

Here's to you Heenan. You could sell anything on the mic and even in the ring to put someone over.

Just lookit this guy work harder to put over a whip than most people put over entire finishers these days.

You'll be missed Brain.

 

[Zach]

So gooood.

Maybe I'll throw on the '92 Rumble.

 

[SallyIsNow]

I too, will throw on the Rumble 92.

 

[Zach]

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

So gooood.

Maybe I'll throw on the '92 Rumble.

I too, will throw on the Rumble 92.

I know what I'm watching on the train tomorrow.

 

[Zach]

Rumble '92 has one of those scorcher intros by Vince. Yelling all of the entrants like a crazy person. Delightfully insane.

 

[somedevil]

Apparently, the Bound For Glory location is Ottawa, Ontario.

Interesting choice when anthem is based in Toronto.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I'm going with Rumble '93, so I can see Randy Savage eliminate himself, denying us a Savage/Hart WM main event.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

In my Ground Zero re-watch today I learned The Patriot had the Angle originally. It was hard to not chant 'you suck'

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Gorilla suggests that tickets are in such high demand, they could be sold for 50 times their retail value at the door.

Also, the unveiling of the narcissist tonight! :O

 

[Zach]

You wanna throw your weight around, Biggest-Geek-Ever? Well that's okay! I wanna throw your weight around, too!

[reptilescorpio]

Fuck, RIP Bobby. One of the al time greats.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Hahahaha, the Brain is drawing on the replay to explain the physics of the Beverly Brothers missing a doomsday device.

You wanna throw your weight around, Biggest-Geek-Ever? Well that's okay! I wanna throw your weight around, too!

Will you be serious?!

Edit: Sherri taking a mirror to the face for the business.

Just looking at the .gif I can hear him yelling "NO NO NO NOOOOOOO!!!!"

He was so happy flair won.

We don't get that emotion anymore

 

[UrbanDandy]

Respect and condolences to an all-time great.

 

[SallyIsNow]

When did Zach stop dressing like the new foundation?

 

[Alucard]

RIP to the greatest pro wrestling colour commentator of all time. "This guy makes coffee nervous."

Rip "The Brain"

I'm depressed. He made every week wrestling enjoyable. Him and Gorilla Monsoon

 

[newdayrocks]

I have never watched a single match with Heenan on commentary.

That Rumble is the one I should watch, right?
