Love Bobby! Without a doubt the Greatest of All Time! Never get tired of listening to him and watching Primetime.

Greatest heel manager of all time.
Joint greatest color man of all time alongside Jesse Ventura.
Nothing else needs to be said......the man is greatness personified.

He's the greatest manager of all time, no questions, but the guy was absolutely brilliant on color as well. Even in WCW. Not a PPV I watch goes by where I don't catch some one liner where I just laugh so hard at him. The mans whit was absolutely off the charts and his ability to snap back with some kind of hilarious quote was just unreal.
And yeah, top 10 Mattel figure want for me since day 1. Long overdue.

Heenan's commentary during the RR92 is just absolutely crucial to the event IMHO.

I love Heenan's commentary so much. He made so many PPVs better with his commentary. Great manager too.
I wish I had even half his wit.

Wish I could find some SummerSlam 93 clips, Heenan is on fire during that event. During the Lawler/Doink vs Hart matches Heenan says Lawler saved a bunch of children from an 18 car pile up inferno but still made it here tonight, he starts tearing up and getting the sniffles talking about it. This was an even bigger lie than the one Lawler had just told.
He once said Nailz did hard time because he double parked while getting his mom a Mother's Day card. 'Nailz the innocent man!' He was funnier than a lot of people in tv and movie history, not sure he had a script either. He made an endless number of terrible matches a lot of fun.
It's really hard for me to pick between Heenan and Ventura on commentary, they had different dynamics with Monsoon. Ventura and Gorilla had an ex wrestler camaraderie thing going on that Heenan and Monsoon didn't have. Monsoon and Heenan was more like Laurel and Hardy or maybe Abbot and Costello. Those vids I posted had me howling with laughter. I don't think we knew how good we had it with the commentary back then. I guess they were trying to get Cole to that level when he was feuding with Lawler, but it didn't really work for me, the isolated plexiglass booth was pretty funny though.

Between managing, Prime Time, and then commentary, he might have been the MVP of the company.

punksnotdead and JokerFC said it already; simply the best of all time...even on commentary in later years in WCW and at WM17 for the Gimmick Battle Royal I was in stitches with some of his one liners...he would be serious when needed but man...what a talent...

I know everyone's sad about his current state, but I just watched a video from Wrestlecon 2014, and despite everything he appeared to be in great spirits joking around with wrestlers and fans, moving around quite a bit, was great to see. I don't know about not wanting to look at him now, especially if he himself is happy. Imagine how much that would suck, if you were looking forward to seeing old friends and fans, and they didn't want to see you because of the way you look. Anyway I'll put it in spoiler tags since I know some people get upset seeing him now. The wrestlers seem to really love him, hit Hall in the crotch with his cane, tried to take Karen Jarrett's bracelets. lol   He doesn't look or sound good, but he also sort of does in another way, seems happy and as quick as ever, still making jokes every other second and cracking everyone up, even without being able to really speak! I only ever saw still pics of him in bad shape, never saw a vid of him looking happy, so I thought I'd post it. |
