I totally agree. I was literally shocked when I watched this clip. I couldn't even tell it was him. He's withering down to nothing. He's so skinny and it looks like he's lost all his hair and his face is a mess. It's truly sad to see him like that. And then, at the end of the clip they showed a picture of him from like 20 years ago and you literally have to do a double-take from what he used to look like to what he looks like now...I just can't believe it... |

The dude just had his jaw removed, what did you expect him to look like?

Another memory I have is when I attended WRESTLEMANIA 8 in the Hoosier dome, we were able to see Monsoon and Heenan's announce box with binoculars, cameras were never on him at these times I mention, but yet he was frantic during the Savage v Flair match, standing up, pacing, face palming and stuff like that, like he was on edge with anxiety. And disappearing immediately out of the booth when Flair lost. He did all this as he knew some eyes (even though fewer) would still be on him and he made my experience even more believable. I wish I could personally thank the man for things like this.

just re watched it, not sure why, it actually really really depresses me. Even as a kid I love Bobby, I know I wasn't supposed to, but I did, he was just too damn entertaining. It's really horrible to know that someone with his wit will never really be able to speak well again.

That does make me feel upsetting to see him in that state. But he's brave enough to doing the public appearance, didn't he? What a truly legend bloke. I know that was horrible to say, I can't see he will still around next 2 or 3 years a time  Here a better picture of Bobby Heenan. With King Kong Bundy  |

^ Man, I can't even tell that is Bobby Heenan. It looks like a friggin' mannequin or something. It's so sad to see Bobby Heenan looking so bad....I want him to get well so bad, but it truly doesn't look good for "The Brain"...

Geez I can't believe how bad he looks....poor Bobby. He has had the unique position to entertain millions around the world and will be immortilised forever in the history of pro-wrestling...i'm sure he'd take that if he could do it all over again. Thank you Bobby! Pure class!  |

The Brain has a lot to be proud of, he has had a career that most could only dream about and has shown an incredible amount of courage in his battle with cancer. I don't know the Brain personally but I love him as a character and I admire him as a person.

correct me if Im wrong but he doesnt have anything life threatening does he? I thought he was found to be cancer free and all his medical problems afterwards have just been negative side effect from the surgeries

As many have mentioned Heenan's finest performance as a "broadcast journalist" was during the 92 Royal Rumble, it was just as epic as Flair's in-ring performance that night.
Is it just me, or was it weird how Mr Perfect looked extremely bland whenever on the same screen with Flair & Heenan?

-- The top 2 reasons why I miss WCW so much ... is 1) the competition, and 2) Heenan at the broadcast booth (he was BY FAR, much funnier in WCW than he ever was in WWF). You're insane. Heenan was great no matter where he was, but nothing matches his chemistry with Gorilla Monsoon.. |

As big a Heenan fan as I am, his time in WCW seemed wrong and you can tell he had lost his passion for the business. |

I thought he was found to be cancer free and all his medical problems afterwards have just been negative side effect from the surgeries I believe you are correct, but he just has to worry about infections setting in. I think that's why he had to cancel his recent autograph signing. |

He doesn't look THAT bad, judging what he's been through

why did he have to get the surgery on his jaw? I believe the cancer spread to his jaw. Also, Bobby doing any Flair match was just amazing. You could tell he really loved Flair and wanted to see him win every time. |
