Seeing Bobbys reaction to Gorillas death is heartbreaking.

[@chrisconsorte7893]

It shows how much respect Bobby Heenan has for Gorilla Monsoon!

[@anthonycampos8057]

@@chrisconsorte7893 and love

[@octoman_games]

that hurt

[@thejessman9591]

It's ironic that in a business like Pro Wrestling that it's the real stuff that hurts the most. Bobby really got me there at the end.

[@jonstefanik9400]

Insisted on saying goodbye on camera on the rival promotion. Rightfully so because it's not just a business, it's a brotherhood.

[@sanjayd411]

Bobby all emotional and choked up while saying goodbye to his best friend...heartbreaking. RIP you two. We still remember you.

[@anthonycampos8057]

Its said that Bobby threatened to quit WCW if they didnt allow him to acknowledge Gorillas death on the show.

[@CatsClaw44]

​@anthonycampos8057 I think that WCW was initially afraid of being sued, not being disrespectful to Gorilla. The WWF was suing over everything at that point.

[@mr.mirchenstein6549]

It makes my heart smile every time I watch old WWF shows and hear Gorilla & The Brain’s commentary! 🧠🎙🦍

[@johnathangipson1874]

I wasn’t even born back then 1989 is the year that I was born.

[@michaelkrolewski7406]

He's the best president since Noriega. Will you stop!

[@MRI3421]

I worked at the Spectrum from 1992 thru 1995. One night during a WWE event. There was a tap on my shoulder. I turned around. Gorilla was behind me with his grand son on his shoulders. Quite an impressive display. 15 feet of Monsoon's. Great family. All of the best !!!

[@dominiclacoote2855]

Those two are back together having fun RIP to both of them

[@jim217ful]

Amen

[@1983jblack]

They're once again back together calling matches such as Bruno Sammartino vs Superstar Billy Graham

[@Fultonfalcons86]

Never a dull moment with the greats Bobby and Gorilla.....R.I.P guys ........

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

I remember, back in the mid to late 80s as a kid watching WWF Primetime. Gorilla and Heenan were hosting. I would often skip the matches and just listen to their commentary and banter in between. They were that entertaining to watch. Just a perfect pair and you got the sense they really liked each other on-air, even though their skits were against each other. They are both very missed.

[@MsSmitty9]

Seeing The Brain at the end saying good bye My Friend, is sad. That is one of the worst feelings one can have. Saying goodbye. I feel his pain. God Bless Gorilla and the Brain. 🙏

[@garrettedwardspears]

What makes rivalries great in wrestling is when the two workers (in this case announcing duos) are friends in real life.

[@josecastanon3506]

God gives us hope we will be reunited with our loved ones.

[@marcusmckinney6153]

Saddest part is he had to FIGHT to be able to say that on wcw tv

[@michaelklein5242]

In my teens, my dad rented a food and beverage stand for me to run on the boardwalk in Atlantic City. Imagine my surprise when just before closing, I turn around and Bruno and Gorilla are standing at the counter. They were really hungry so I uncovered and unwrapped stuff and turned the grill on for them. They generously gave me a 20 dollar bill and told me to keep the change (their bill was only around $6.00--this was in the early 80s). Of course I recognized them and they were really very nice guys--I remember Gorilla was especially glib with little humorous asides. Seeing them up close and personal, I assure you, these guys were huge! I remember shaking Bruno's hand, which was the size of a baseball glove. Thanks for remembering the great Gorilla Monsoon!

[@papennypincher7287]

No one could repeat the banter between heenan and monsoon…as exciting as the wrestling was, these 2 always held my attention even as a little kid…RIP to these legends that have left us

[@garrettedwardspears]

The Gorilla and The Brain can never truly be replaced.

[@honestdave]

One of the best announce teams.

[@randybarnett2308]

I remember one time Heenan had on a Raiders jacket I believe and Gorilla made Heenan take it off saying he didn't like the team, those guys were the funniest!!😀😀😀

[@zachduplechin8352]

Jesse and gorilla were great too.

[@toddgrogg2810]

It rip's your heart out seeing bobby, after saying goodbye to gorilla. Bobby was seconds away from crying like Niagara fall's. Very painful.

[@joshuabrooks4907]

I'm sure him and Bobby are calling matches in the hereafter as we speak.

[@mikeg.3688]

Yeah he almost lost it. But he was a pro and loved the business and managed to keep it together. He probably imagined hearing Gorilla say “Will you stop”. Then got back to work.

[@robdangripp9406]

The only two other commentators that come close to being as good as them to with Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler but Bobby The Brain Heenan and gorilla monsoon we're definitely major parts of my '80s childhood

[@MsSmitty9]

The Brain gets to the Pearly Gates ( The Gorilla Position ) and Gorilla Sez “ Will you stop ?! 😂😂

[@giaguidera5464]

Oh God yes

[@jonstefanik9400]

Brain: Yes, I made it! Gorilla: Oh No, not you!

[@lfkk4640]

Hahahaa... That's Good! 😂😂😂😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 RIP Bobby & Gorilla

[@IGKMrNice1973]

Both Legends they were my Childhood RIP to both🙏

[@garykass114]

@Dirty water 9 Heenan would first start haranguing him about how nobody would have thought he would make it to Heaven.

[@Dan97LHS]

This put some tears in my eyes. Gorilla Monsoon was one of the best ever to do it. Wrestling, announcing, being the on-screen WWF President; there was nothing he couldn't do. His commentary with Bobby Heenan was comic gold. Nobody will ever come close to his greatness. RIP, Gorilla.

[@robdangripp9406]

Bobby Heenan and gorilla monsoon were such a awesome team together it's like they honestly had me convinced that they both sincerely hated each other but they were like the closest friends in the world and I could tell Bobby was hurt when he made that announcement.

[@michaelkrolewski7406]

Me too

[@joejoebrian1014]

Everytime i see Bobby's farewell to Monsoon I cant help but well up. There is such emotion in his voice and in his eyes. Its just heartbreaking. May they both Rest In Piece.

[@anthonycampos8057]

Its said that Bobby threatened to quit WCW if they didnt acknowledge Gorillas death on the show.

[@jd9119]

Get it together. You're a full-grown man.

[@mrf19741]

Gorilla & The Brain were the best commentary duo in wrestling! RIP to the both of them. Now they're commentating in Heaven.

[@uuhhthatguyagain1777]

The greatest team Gorilla and Bobby Heenan . Enjoy watching old shows just to listen to them rather than watching the matches

[@rockvilleraven]

Could have been a great comedy team if they wanted to.

[@jlm6223]

Those two where gods in the 80s and 90s. Nobody did it better!

[@mattsmith8901]

These two truly loved each other.

[@hawaii197]

I met those 2 in Atlantic City during wrestle mania 4 where they filmed the boardwalk segment of prime time wrestling . Gorilla was very nice guy and Bobby was just funny as hell he was cracking jokes saying don’t step on any bananas etc

[@JediPhoenix1976]

I loved Gorilla on commentary so much more than McMahon back in the day. Gorilla and Bobby Heenan were absolutely golden, and he paired up nicely with Jesse Ventura as well.

[@AdhamOhm]

He looked like he'd be an 80's mafia boss

[@dc1397]

I knew of Gene Okerlund and Bobby The Brain Heenan more that Gorilla Monsoon. I paid attention to Monsoon because of Heenan's great words of Monsoon. Bobby was such a great announcer.

[@Bloodgod1982]

Rest in Peace Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby the Brain Heenan :(

[@williamtowne4792]

Another legend of wrestling that will be missed!

[@simonehicks7635]

I miss these two men so much 😭. Wrestling will never be the same without them.

[@cynthiamartin3645]

You know that Gorilla and Bobby were good friends when at the end of Bobby Hernans Hall of Fame speech. Bobby says " I wish Monsoon were here"

[@Strive1324L]

Bobby had such a big heart, he was hurting so bad while doing his job, grieving over his loss of his friend. The brain was a great man.

[@brianthomas3451]

The brain and monsoon were legit the best duo

[@hamadhumaid1984]

One of the all-time greats Gorilla Monsoon a WWE Hall of Famer he's in heaven with WWE Hall of Famer The Patriarch of the Hart family Stu Hart who trained him, Hotrod Roddy Piper, Bobby Heenan, "Classy" Freddie Blassie, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, British Bulldog, Big John Studd, Andre The Giant, Curt Henning aka Mr Perfect, Muhammad Ali Clay, Regis Philbin and "Ravishing" Rick Rude, "Mean" Gene Okerlund, Howard "The Fink" Finkel, "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, Mr. Fuji and his son Joseph

[@rockvilleraven]

I'd buy a ticket to see that Battle Royal.

[@edwardhenry3158]

Truer words were never spoken miss them both RIP Gorilla and Bobby the brain and all the others mentioned above it’s always so hard when you hear about your childhood wrestling heroes and memories go to a better place

[@1983jblack]

When I pass on, first thing I'll do after finding my wife is go to that Battle Royal lol

[@snydesy]

This makes me miss my childhood...i miss my grandad ....badly

[@reginaweeks9356]

Gorilla monsoon and Bobby the brain heenan a match made in heaven 2 all time greats

[@ericjohn8466]

My favorite lineup in announcing: Gorilla, The Weez, and Rowdy. Huge part of my childhood that dies every little bit when we lose our wrestling heroes. May they ALL RIP

[@theresareynolds3133]

I remember watching Gorilla Monsoon wrestle when I was a little girl, I thought he was a gorilla because he was big, and all harry, my brothers and I lived with our grandparents, and they were huge wrestling fans, we went to the matches every time they wrestled in San Diego, I was 8 so, that would have been in 1966.

[@walihenry4600]

“I‘ll have you taken outta here” “Don’t you start with me, I’m a broadcast journalist “ The best duo EVER!!!!

[@mr.mirchenstein6549]

What a legend! Gorilla was one of the best! He could do it all. 🙌

[@UPBEATFOREVER]

Will you stop!🛑

[@giaguidera5464]

Without a doubt two of my favorites are sitting at the announcer table and you'd hear "ham and Eggers or Humanoids " and then it would be "would you stop" classics for sure

[@garykass114]

@Gia Guidera Let's not forget about all those medical terms Gorilla would throw at you.

[@giaguidera5464]

@@garykass114 best ever

[@tornadotp]

So many laughs and great memories growing up and watching Gorilla and the Brain. May the both RIP. Thank you both for the years of entertainment.

[@LoneRebel]

Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby The Brain Heenan in pro wrestling heaven calling matches now. "Will you stop!" Rest in Peace Gorilla, we all miss you & Bobby & every legend there in Heaven 😢

[@JmeJ83]

I didn't know that his son was that referee. So tragic he died so young. RIP to both x

[@seanmulligan3037]

Great job on this tribute, loved it.

[@adambennett2737]

Henan breaking up at the end that always gets me

[@TravisLoneWolfWalsh]

They were the best Commentary team of all time and are now calling matches in heaven

[@joshuabrooks4907]

Gorilla was the epitome of a gentle giant. I hope his 22 year long heavenly residence has been awesome for him.

[@mustangsuper1973]

Saw the tears of bobby, really, shoocked

[@maxxxmodelz4061]

They were truly the best of friends off the air and behind the scenes. Their work on WWF Primetime was the stuff of legends. I loved that show just for their interactions.

[@joelmccall6328]

Rest in peace to A true legend.

[@Paultheguitarist]

I watched the first 6 wrestlemanias so many times as a kid I knew Gorilla and Jesse’s commentary by heart. Legend.

[@adonoghue4511]

Bobby not trying to cry on live tv 4:55

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Man Bobby loved gorilla it broke his heart when he died ...but they are together again RIP to the 2 greats they can never be replaced

[@BaseFury]

"we went 1 hour 28 minutes".... You kidding me? What a performer!!!

[@sfcd4757]

Woah. I never knew Joey was his son. I remember his son when i was a kid and heard about the car accident...i never watched Gorilla wrestle as i was a kid in the amazing 80's but he was by far one of the very best at what he did which was calling matches with everyone...him and Bobby were the two best in the business and there is not a close second in my opinion

[@frankbarajas6043]

Gorilla and the weasel are and we’re my childhood… I grew up watching them on ppvs and superstars of wrestling.. ❤❤ I miss them both!

[@josemontano7767]

Monsoon made my childhood ROCK!

[@philgreenfeld2970]

Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon THE TRUE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS !!!

[@user-dd2vz5ic2j]

That comment by Bobby got me then and still has me today,rest high Gino and Bobby ❤❤

[@jonstefanik9400]

One thing I'm sad about is never meeting and shaking the hand of Gorilla Monsoon. A Man's man. A sweetheart on camera and most fans who had the honor of meeting him say off camera as well. He got me pumped for the upcoming PPVs when I was a kid. I'll never get tired of his sayings. That's for sure.

[@RichardM1366]

He was the dad I wish I had. Gorilla was a wonderful man. He always had a good lesson to teach. Heaven needed a champion!

[@duckmangooo7376]

When Gorilla died, part of Bobby died as well. They were best friends and respected each other.

[@samanthgail4582]

i looked forward to monday nights an sat morning wwe. i miss ya both

[@hannahwillmott641]

gorilla monsoon and bobby heenend brought comdy with each other

[@bigcav925]

My childhood memories thanks you 🙏

[@zachdelong1039]

Gorilla and Bobby the best ever JR and the King don’t even come close to how good Gorilla and Bobby was watching this makes me wanna be 8 years old again 😂

[@kylejordan1841]

Hell yeah. Monsoon and Heenan will always be the best commentating duo. Lawler and J.R. have done so many legendary matches when wrestling was at its highest peak but still they don’t beat Gorilla and Bobby.

[@LanceJ.]

If you were a kid in the 80s, Gorilla felt like your Grandpa. Always happy to see and hear him. It just felt right.

[@tomhood7343]

He was only 62 when he passed that was pretty young

[@NOV123]

I figured he was in education before turning pro. His intellect was through the roof!

[@fommy9936]

Moonson and Hennan, Great Friends RIP Geno and Hennan

[@johnnyfoo8737]

watched him on usa network back in the 80's Had no idea he was a wrestler. Loved his commentary

[@ModernDayRenaissanceMan]

Bobby's line at the end cracked me. My eyes got wet. Those 2 were my childhood. They were almost never nice to each other (playfully of course) so hearing Bobby break kayfabe that once was a big deal.

[@hannahwillmott7398]

Gorlia monsoon and bobby the brain heenan was comdy together ❤

[@ramuroswain7164]

Miss that Guy🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@TroystonB]

beautiful tribute to a huge part of our childhoods.

[@michaelkrolewski7406]

So nice to hear how Bobby truly felt about the Gorilla at the end.

[@stephenviveney5836]

Heenan was the irresistable force and Gorilla was the immovable object.

[@mackmcmillan9905]

1:58 - Class and wit. "Well, it's a contractual agreement..." Clean and cutting in a clever caricature of character.

[@Ch_0P]

“Will you stop, give me a break”

[@jordandill7863]

i believe there's a special made heaven for wrestlers called the Heaven's Wrestling Federation and by far the standard bar of commentary teams in wrestling is calling the action

[@flstffatboy3910]

Damn could he move ,that’s very sad about his son,man what a great personality he was hard too imagine anybody else in his position right RIP Gorilla and your beloved son JOEY
