Wrestling Bios Presents - The Life and Career of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
Bobby Heenan was a comedic genius, a very entertaining commentator, a devious yet charming heel manager, and one of the most influential figures in all off professional wrestling. To say that Heenan was just a manager or an announcer puts a limit on what he could do. Heenan was an entertainer at a level that few people in the wrestling business have ever been at.
This video looks at Heenan's time in the AWA, his brief stay at Georgia Championship Wrestling, his debut in the WWF, The Heenan Family which saw Bobby Heenan manage some of the all time WWE greats such as Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect, Andre The Giant, Arn Anderson, Nature Boy Ric Flair and more. We cover Bobby The Brain Heenan as a commentator and his excellent work with Gorilla Monsoon on WWF Prime Time Wrestling. The video also covers Bobby's departure from the WWF and his debut in WCW, his issues with WCW commentator Tony Schiavone and WCW management in general, his return to the WWE and his induction into the Hall of Fame, and details about his passing.
Just like the previous Ravishing Rick Rude and Mr. Perfect videos found on my channel, putting some people's careers into KZbin videos like this can never do the subject justice. Trying to convery, in words, just how good and entertaining Bobby "The Brain" Heenan was is impossible. But I can certainly try, in this mini documentary, to go through some of Heenan's career highlights.
As mentioned in the video, here is the link to the announcement Bobby Heenan made on WCW regarding his friend Gorilla Monsoon: • Bobby Heenan says good...

IMHO, Bobby Heenan's mind was so lightning fast, his comebacks so hilarious, he could have easily left wrestling and become one of the most successful comedians on the planet. Natural stage presence, and perfect comedic timing propelled Heenan into what possibly may be the greatest character pro wresting has ever seen. Even with all his health problems later in life, Heenan maintained his sense of humor & quick wit. We'll never see a bird flipped like Bobby "The Brain" Heenan again.

Actually, if the Brain were alive and at his peak, and (most importantly) put fully in charge of both Raw and Smackdown, he really would turn them both around for the better dramatically. As it is, wrestling today is dead, and Brain called that, too, and he called it several years before the travesty that is wrestling today: "They don't have kayfabe anymore."

In my opinion, not only was Bobby the best manager & commentator, but also the best natural talker that the industry has ever seen & ever will. The man was quite literally a genius. He knew the business better than maybe anyone else, period. He knew how to draw heat, come off incredibly smart but still come off as a bumbling fool because he was after all a Heel. He was, truly, a once in a lifetime talent. Thank you for this amazing tribute as well. I'll often go back & just binge Heenan stuff for hours at a time.

Mere words cannot begin to express how much I miss Bobby & Gorilla. My favorite part of his Hall of Fame speech was when he said, "I wish Monsoon was here". He wasn't the only one. They were truly best buddies 4-ever. I miss them both so much.

Wonderful tribute. I co-wrote Bobby's two books, the highlight of my career. Recently, I turned it into a podcast with the tapes I used to record our conversations for the books. Thanks for the kind words about my friend and partner.

Bobby The Brian Heenan is Iconic.... You are right.... as a kid growing up I used to hate him but as an adult I actually see now that he was a brilliant heel manager and loud mouth.... watching some of the old wrestling matches and his commentating is comical. So sad about his deterioration in health. R.I.P

A truly amazing individual, he bought so much to the world of wrestling. As a manager he added an extra dimension to matches, he was so much more than a just a face at ring side. His commentary is legendary and I have to agree that along with Gorilla he formed the best commentary duo ever in WWF. Fondly remembered and sadly missed. Another great video, thank you.

The Brain is the greatest heel announcer in the history of the business. His calls should be required viewing for anyone who is even considering becoming an announcer. The Brain will live on forever. RIP

I gave this video a thumbs up before it even started playing, and you did not disappoint. The Brain was one of the greatest entertainers in the history of the business. A true legend. Many have tried to emulate him, but there will never be anyone else quite like him.

This way by far my favorite of the channel’s videos. What a wonderful telling of the Brain’s life as well as tribute to a man that wasn’t perfect, but still a good man and great entertainer. Well done and keep up the great work! I’ve really enjoyed these episodes especially during this time of constant gloom and doom from the news, entertainment, sports... we need more escapes such as this channel. You are truly doing great work.

Bobby was pure Gold. There will never, ever be another like him. I have come to really enjoy watching matches were his stable was involved in them. Just wished that someone would have thought about having Rude and Perfect as a tag team. Think about how devastating they would have been.
