Jr and King were great during the attitude era. Jr got to make a lot of epic calls in his career. But Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby the Brian Heenan would have me crying I'd be laughing so hard. Even as a kid.
Royal Rumble 92 Wrestlemania 8 Summerslam 91 with Piper
All those come to mind with being some of their best work. "I think you need to go see an optometrist. Why, there's nothing wrong with my feet! Oh will you stop!"
What are some of your fave quotes, youtubes, or other events, that they called, you recommend?

They are my favorite team next to jr and the king.
My favorite was during the macho man/liz wedding at summerslam 1991.

Monsoon/Heenan Monsoon/Ventura Ross/Lawler
No one else comes near to those pairings

Also, while we're at it. The Fink should come back at least for pay per views. Once a month. C'mon Howard!

Worst commentary section ever was Jim Ross, Bobby Heenan and Randy Savage in 1993.
Jim Ross was still calling matches like he was in WCW, and it just didn't suit the WWF feel.

I think that's half the reason WM 9 kinda sucked. JR didn't do well with Heenan. They didn't mesh well. And then there's Savage........

Prime Time Wrestling was one of the greatest shows just because of Bobby and Gorilla. The matches were mostly Stars vs Jobbers but the studio segments were classic.

Some great bits from the greatest commentary team, ever.
I think the fact that the two were good friends in real life, helped them gell so well. And like the last clip showed, and some others I've seen before, I think they had a blast working together. So great that Brain requested WCW to allow him and Schiavone to mention Gorilla after his death. You can see how hard it was in that segment. Also when Heenan went into the Hall of Fame, and says he wishes Gorilla could be there, you could hear the emotion in his voice, about his lost friend.
And just a random thing, I don't know if it's true or not, but I just recently read, Santino's ring name is a tribue to Gorilla, who's real last name was Marella.

Gorilla and Bobby were the best commentating duo ever, in my opinion.
Every time they were together, it was gold.

WM 8: Shawn Michaels vs El Matador Tito Santana. Tito hits Shawn with his finishing move,the flying forearm to the back of the head:
Monsoon: " It's the El Paso Del La Muerte!" Heenan: " What'd you say,Extra Hot Taste Picante?!" Monsoon: " WILL YOU BE SERIOUS!"

Monsoon, Heenan, and Ventura will always the greatest commentators of all time in my book.

Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan is quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to professional wrestling. The duo of him and Monsoon is unparalleled as far as I'm concerned. Just watched his HOF induction speech and teared up at the end when he mentioned Gorilla. Love the Brain so much; he and Gorillla brought me so much joy during my childhood and continue to bring me joy to this day

After Bobby said his piece, about how the pearly gates were now known as the Gorilla Position, Schiavone goes to do the hype up for the show, you just see Heenan there, trying not to completely break down into tears.

Here it is. Now I didn't see this live. But I heard Heenan left and couldn't finish the show. Here is Gorilla "kicking" Heenan out of the WWF. I remember seeing this and thinking to myself that this isn't good. I hated that Bobby went to WCW but understood why he did.

If I remember right, Heenan said years later in an interview, after that segment, he and Gorilla went back to one of their rooms together, and basically cried, knowing they'd never work together again.
