I rewatch it regularly. It's so great. From the animals of the WWF to his talking about Ric Flair and wishing Gorilla was there, it's one of, if not the greatest Hall of Fame speech ever. Which I feel is fitting for the greatest manager ever.

Definitely the best, and just showed the natural talent Heenan had to entertain, and it bums me out now knowing he pretty much can't talk now. Just glad we were able to get him in when he could still speak, and give a great speech like that.

Probably the only induction I've seen from that HOF class. Bobby Heenan is arguably one of the greatest managers and one of the best commentators of all time. His banter with Gorilla Monsoon are stuff of legend, even though in reality, Heenan and Monsoon were the best of friends outside of the ring. I recall hearing the story of how Heenan and Gorilla hugged and cried in the hotel lobby when Bobby was leaving the WWF. It was absolutely heartbreaking seeing Bobby's tribute to Monsoon on Nitro and hearing him say that he wished that Monsoon was there to see him inducted.

I cant watch that tribute because of Schiavone.he is sitting there all sombre when in reality he objected like crazy to it. what a piece of crap he truly is. |

I miss the days of Heenan inducting people into the hall of fame, he always entertained the audience, Jbl seems to be doing that lately with hi speeches though

I've been a wrestling fan my entire life, & I never got to see the 2004 HOF. I'm glad I can watch this speech!

That is my favorite HOF speech ever! Bobby was one of the most entertaining people ever involved with wresting, and in my book there is no question that he is the greatest manager of all time.

I remember hearing that but was never sure if it were true. yeah,it was true. Bischoff was fine with it - hell,EVERYONE was fine with it. except Tony,who tried his best to convince everyone in power to squash it. thankfully it didn't work. |

Tony also came up with the idea of David Arquette winning the title.
