Off The Record - WWE Legends

Interview with Gene Oakerlund, Bobby Heenan and Roddy Piper

[@stevew270]

Sad to think that all three of these legends are gone now.

[@crackinlackin9105]

Steve W I know :(

[@mikeconner8167]

Exactly what i just thought when i opened it

[@ericjohn8466]

I was just gonna comment that. I did get to see all three in house shows and at Wrestlemania 3 in the 80s. My childhood

[@jefferyorton1723]

That didn't hit me until about minute 4. And that shit hit me HARD! 😕

Rest in Peace, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. You will be missed.

[@kevinsteele8771]

also mean gene and roddy piper

[@JR7827]

*0:14* *"REMEMBER ONE THING IN LIFE, A* *FRIEND IN NEED IS A PEST"* *CLASSIC LINE!*

[@revdga5911]

JR7827 loved it. The Brain philosophy

[@racheldiederich838]

Bobby always made me laugh. I was never much into the good guys

[@JohnRRoe2]

I remember and still love the line!!!!

[@jeffwilson3363]

A guy at work asked us to help him move, and I said “ a friend in need is a pest”....popped the boys.

[@robertdiotalevi285]

@@jeffwilson3363 Hope you cited BTBH.

[@shizzle5150]

Heenan is one of the guys that I didn't fully appreciate growing up. There was a great interview he did right before his throat cancer battle that has since been removed from youtube :( If the guy didn't find his way into wrestling he would have made a great comedian. Just an all around awesome dude that (knock on wood) has beat the odds against throat cancer. Thanks for all the years Bobby, all the best!

[@BuryingYoungTalent]

bobby heenan is such a classy man bless him

[@charlescarter4608]

He definitely was. He was one of a kind. There'll never be another 'Brain'. Loved watching him and Monsoon go back and forth when I was a kid. They were a legendary comedy duo. My brother and I still quote them. "Will you stop!?"

[@infmiiishook7187]

@@charlescarter4608 Bobby Heenan the defenition of real Talent ! Bobby and Gorilla made WWF fun with their skits and jokes on the mic

[@OldRedandGold]

Mean Gene had one of those voices that was just unique. If you heard it, you knew, it was Mean Gene Okerlund.

[@Eltonmorris]

Man, 3 legends. We’ve lost all 3 of them now. Unreal. RIP Mean Gene, Bobby The Brain, & Rowdy Roddy Piper.

[@ericwall3526]

Gene was very good Bobby was very very good Piper was very very very good. Heenan used to crack me up. Great one liners everytime I saw him. I loved Bobby and his straight gotchas, loved him and the gorilla back then , perfect match. They fed each other so well. Damn good times.

[@SOCKYWOK]

That host whether he realises or not was just sitting with gold in human form IMO

[@RedroomStudios]

of course he realizes it... why do you think he had them as guests on his show?

[@YurManDavid]

RedroomStudios Lansberg is a tool

[@timwhitehead5938]

GOD REST THE SOULS OF THESE THREE LEGENDS.

[@MrAmbrose314]

Bobby Heenan is by far the best heel commentator / color man EVER!! Plus he was by far the best manager ever. He gave whoever he was managing instant credibility. Which isn't something that is easy to do. I really miss seeing him on TV every week.

[@gmard1]

Can't believe how funny and bright Bobby was. He always makes me laugh

[@herbmowat9063]

Rest In Peace Bobby Heenan. You'll be missed!

[@Jayce_Alexander]

I miss all three of these guys. All three of them rank among the greatest talkers wrestling has ever known. I miss Piper's insanity, Bobby's wit, and Gene playing the ultimate straight man. I grew up watching the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression era, but although these three were all elder statesmen even then, they're my heroes more than pretty much anyone else. RIP Piper, Brain, and Gene. Good people. You are missed.

[@troyevanthompson]

dang. bobby the brain. just brilliant! "you shave don't you??? learn to talk!!" so true.

[@Vauge-Nightmare]

Had a chance to meet all 3 of these men in my life time, and was not disappointed. they were all fantastic and had time to talk for a few minutes and sign some stuff for me. all legends in my opinion

[@rubenarriaga3029]

Wow!

[@rcjr68]

3 amazing men in their profession , and so sad all 3 are gone. yet good we can still see this and enjoy them

[@kevinbob]

gene oakerlund looks the same as he did in the 80's

[@johnnychrysostomou8105]

THIS WAS IN 1992

[@johnnychrysostomou8105]

YE I WAS WRONG IT WAS 05 CHEERS MATE NICE ONE I JUST CHECKED IT

[@slimshead8100]

john chrysostomou yeah, if that was 1992, it wouldn’t make any sense for him to ask them why wrestling isn’t as good as it was in 1999. Lol.

[@Kingslayer_au]

I could listen to Gene talk for hours.

[@captainthrall]

Mean Gene's voice is like warm chocolate in my ears. oh, and... Roddy Piper has been stabbed 3 times by enraged fans? that is crazy lol

[@thegoldentroll]

And I was one of those fans.

[@ski8615]

2020 just hit me all three of them are dead much love and respect too the hotrod brain and mean gene

[@EM-tg4ft]

They were phenomenal and made wrestling so much more entertaining. Gene was great and nobody can compare to him. No manager can compare to Bobby he was funny but sarcastic. Hot rod just pure talent. RIP Bobby, Roddy and Gene

[@director7685]

RIP all 3 legends.😢😢😢

[@vividwatch47]

R.I.P. Rowdy Roddy Piper, Gene Okerlund, and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. You will all be missed!

[@chriswainwright185]

Bobby Heenan was a real gem RIP

[@troyw1000]

Hard to believe how easy it was to take all this talent for granted back then.

[@counterpointify]

Three amazing and professional performers. It's nice to see them in private as friendly persons who really respected each other. And it's so sad to realize that they are all dead now.

[@steppenwolfe73]

"You never touch a midget, you never know where they've been." - Bobby 'the Brain' Heenan.. Thank you. Thank You, Piper, Flair, and a few others for entertaining me throughout my youth and beyond.

[@robertdiotalevi285]

Right on, Brother!

[@jmgmarcus808]

Three absolute legends. RIP to all of them.

[@renehernandez52]

OMG! HOT ROD,one of wrestling's top 2 heals,and the WEASEL , possibly the best manager ever!!

[@FuckYourFeelings88]

The best.

[@TheWinstonSlip]

Mean Gene was the best voice of the wwe interviews

[@Rockabillyman26]

RIP Gene Okerlund, Bobby Heenan and Roddy Piper, you guys are truly missed.

[@troublesum1978]

I love all these guy's especially Bobby the brain. Such great performers, when these guy's where in their prime there was nobody better.

[@culwin]

Mean Gene looks the same as he did in the 70's. I think he might be a vampire.

[@moscar9128]

+culwin lol.......fuckn' shiit

[@hockeyguy2005]

If he puts out another interview after this comment, I'll buy into that theory. 😁

[@JoeyMartz]

Rip

[@williamwilson6814]

Now wresting is so predictable I only comment on it time to time

[@steviedee71]

They just don’t build them like these guys anymore 🐐🐐🐐

[@sleazyfellow]

3 of the best talkers in the history of wrestling. Only missing Jesse to complete it.

[@macdaddy1149]

As a kid I always liked the heels. Bobby was the ultimate heel. Bobby made me laugh and still does when I watch his old videos. RIP to all these guys. Thanks for the entertainment guys.

[@HowieJ011]

I miss all these guys

[@buddmannable]

All 3 guys are great.......Bobby Heenan 👏👍🙌

[@hoopsheavenpa]

I was lucky as a kid to grow up when I did. Pro wrestling was so much better when I was a kid and these three were a big reason why.

[@g-dub5272]

Mean Gene voice is priceless

[@DaSkarekrow]

RIP Bobby, Gene, and Roddy.... Legends forever

[@davekemp1808]

Heenan & Piper, my #1 & #2 talkers (in order). Nobody was better or faster than those 2, and the best part is they'd both back up that the other is the quickest they'd ever seen.

[@snarlingrabiddog5150]

Bobby is such a good fella. I REALLY miss him not being in wrestling. ALL these guys need to come back. Gene should have been JR's sidekick....I like Jerry, but I miss Gene. Roddy was great at the role of an interviewer first that went wild back in the Atlanta days. Thanks for uploading this. It was great to watch. I hope these guys live long happy lives.

[@justinep3675]

They are all gone!! 😥😪😫 RIP to these trio of greats.

[@metorido]

Hearing Bobby and Gene talk, you just understand why they were masters at what they did.

[@robertdiotalevi285]

"A friend in need...is a pest!" Words to live by!

Without these guys..there is no Saturday nights main event

I keep watching this to hear the three of them together!!!

[@tenebristic]

Three of my favorite people in wrestling

[@racheldiederich838]

The legends, when wrestling was fun to watch. I remember watching little Wally talking with all the big guys.

[@deesorrento3526]

rest in peace roddy mean gene and bobby the brain miss watching ya on tv. thanks for the memories miss all of you

[@MrLambo420]

All three of these guys are legends!!

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

3 legends, we were spoiled back then and didn't know it.

[@HappyinJapan358]

All dead! Time flies everybody. They were sooooo damn cool and really had an impact on so many kids around the world. Amazing stuff.

[@michaelgarcia8602]

To see Piper. Bobby. H. & Mean Gean ok. It great to them I miss them. To all 3 of them R.I. P.

[@retrokid562]

Some of the greatest talkers in the history of professional wrestling. No one like em...wrestling is missing passionate talkers, interviewers, managers.

[@sabreyow]

used to love when jesse would call monsoon "go-rilla"

[@ihateflatbunz]

classic stuff

[@CavemanJesus4Life]

I meant as Heel commentators. When Lawler was always siding with heels he was the best. He's terrible now cause they made Cole the heel play-by-play announcer. I loved Heenen/Monsson duo as well

[@rj11peter]

Can't believe they're all gone. R.I.P. gentlemen.

[@dad1717]

Hard to believe that all 3 of these stars are gone.

[@CavemanJesus4Life]

Yes he does, I almost cried during the Ric Flair Hof speech

[@mdjcsmith]

Rest in peace, to all three of you legends

[@Wolffen51]

May they all R.I.P. Miss Roddy Piper....I may not agree with what Roddy one said, but I still like what he was able to achieve.

[@ImMagnetz]

Stop interrupting them!

[@1212Jiggz]

OhMagnetz Time limit show, ding dong

[@ImMagnetz]

@Masterr Laster Let 'em take over the show then. Maybe it'll actually be entertaining that way.

[@antoniogoncalves8288]

RIP Bobby and Roddy Piper

[@MegaGum1]

13.13 The Brain is QUICK!!! Jeryy Lewis would struggle to be that quick. That man was something else. How lucky we were to have him.

[@donovandarby9648]

Pack of legends.
