Was just going to say this. I didn't like him when he was manager, loved to see him "get what's coming to him." Now I understand he had a role to play and he was the best at it. So many heals I didn't care for too, but now I love to see them talk about their time in professional wrestling.

Hearing Bobby mention the fans so many times during this interview really cements it for me that he knew what he was doing and more importantly, WHO he was doing it for. Damn, we miss you, Bobby.

Bobby just gets it. He understands that the wrestling business is about making a living for your family and entertaining the fans. Even back in the day, when kayfabe was the rule of law deep down, we all knew it was probably a work but we didn’t care because the entertainment level was off the charts.

[@headhunter8106]

Which is a line from Frank Sinatra, quoting Joe E Louis.

[@hymansahak181]

Ain’t that the truth.

[@williamwatson4625]

I think what "The Brain" meant by that is, you invite your friend(s) or neighbor(s) to come over to your house and they'll drink all the beer you have, but they'll never invite you over to their house. That can also apply to relatives. A relative would come up and ask you for some money, but he/she will not pay you back because both of you happen to be related.

[@Rockhound6165]

He was a weasel. That was the point. He ran with the gimmick and it was genius. It's the same when HHH first called Owen Hart a nugget and the fans would chant "nugget, nugget!" Owen took it and ran with it. There's no such thing as bad heat and a smart performer knows how to take something and run with it.

[@DaDitka]

3:09 Heenan brings up a solid point here. Everyone needs to participate properly in order for the show to work for the fans. Both the heels AND the faces. If the Ultimate Warrior was not going to abide by his role, then neither Heenan nor any other heel he wrestled were obligated to abide by theirs. And yet Heenen did with the UW. Granted, I'm sure the money was a massive reason, and I can respect that and his honesty. But his desire for the fans to get a good show is very honorable. I don't know much about the Warrior, and of course he is gone now. But I would be interested to know what he thought of when it came to putting on a good show for the fans and how high on his list of priorities that was.

[@CSQuah]

apparently not high enough for him to care about improving his in-ring abilities. independent interviews with various ex-WWE stars all paint a very consistent picture of Warrior like what Bobby here described
