Whoever is in charge of this channel now replaying these videos with my most beloved Character of all time Indeed the G.O.A.T. 🐐 Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Obviously with my profile picture Weasel was the ultimate entertainer and made my childhood what it was happy and fun!! Thanks Bobby and these videos are on very interesting relevant topics and short stories instead of the full shoot. I've seen these all before but I'll rewatch them all day long. Thank you

A lot of people probably didn't know it was his last night. He said Owen said he heard it was his last night so he obviously heard it second hand

​@@username-zj9idwell since he mentions Owen did and gorilla monsoon did. That means it was going around in the office and in the locker room.

@@TheBrister that doesn't mean anything. Gorilla was his best friend so of course he knew. Lanza was also really close to Bobby so he may have been the one to tell Owen. Just because Owen heard it second hand doesn't mean it was being talked about by everyone.

We didn't have much in the way of WWF back in the late 80's and early 90's in the UK but each Saturday morning was spent infront of the TV watching Bobby and The Gorilla. That was me as a 10 yr old in 88 and hooked on wrestling ever since. Paul Heyman maybe in character 99% of the time but in that rare 100% truly honest moment. He would say Bobby was so far abover everyone else. Even Cornette standing on Heymans shoulders still couldn't reach Bobby.

He left wwf I'm late 93.not 94

Unfortunately, WCW never used Heenan right

@@melekelewis2945in no i'm

​@@melekelewis2945Meh close enough

I'm so glad we got to see the Brain on WWF commentary once more at Wrestlemania X7 in the gimmick battle royal. He deserved it. I just wish Bobby could have stayed in some type of role. Maybe he would have if his health permitted it. Such a shame. Truly one of the most talented people in pro wrestling history

I always knew how good he was. Nobody else was better on the microphone than Bobby.

Absolutely!

I have to disagree on that one. I always saw the brain as one of the best

I agree with the sentiment. But every time Bobby called the fans ham and eggers I knew he was the best.

I do get what you're saying. We knew he was great, but we took him for granted because he was so effortlessly talented.

Same. Truly an end of an era

I remember when it happened I always felt he would be back after not too long. Sucks he stayed in wcw the rest of his career.

Imo Ross felt like a fish out of water in his first couple years with WWE

@@Spooky_515At the end of the day, id have to agree with you

owen was assassinated that night

If Heenan was still there, I’m sure the line between the Golden Era and New Gen would be alot more blurry

Rest In Heavenly Peace🙏🤍🕊🙏♥️

Thats it!

I can actually visualize what you said. "THANK YOU BOBBY!!!:

@@itsmeandnotyou113 that is awesome compliment - intentionally or not. Thanks 👍🤙

@@itsmeandnotyou113 in the middle of the ring being cheered WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE A BUMP. No manager ever took bumps like that man. It brought tears to my eyes when I saw him a 1/2 a face after the cancer and found out he had a phukked up neck (from taking bumps at work) for 10 yrs but had no insurance so he lived with it. Now, I'm never for Govt. Health care because they iwn you once they control your health, so I don't want anyone to thinking I'm going in the direction. No, I'm talking about scuzzbucket VKM. I don't know if it's been changed but in the past you could always offer to pay a hospital bill IN CASH and knock that bill as low as a quarter of what they'd charge insurance - ESPECIALLY if it is GOV'T. Insurance - then they really add whole lot of shite. I know Vince jr + Sr. knew this even more than an average business, because most businesses don't have their workers stitching each other up in their Locker Rooms. So they couldn't have Bobby go in to have surgery, find out the cost and help him pay? Maybe someone who works in a hospital or insurance, who's reading this can put me straight and tell me they haven't done that since the days of Doctors Casey, Kildare, + Welby then I'll apologize to Both Vince's. I'll thank Sr. when he comes starts promoting again. And I'll apologize to Jr. when he gets out of jail, then apologizes to all the chicks he abused and then all get to take a **** on him and Brock gets ****ed on - Then I'll apologize to Jr.

I think Bobby realized it when he returned to commentate the gimmick battle royal at WMX7. He got a great ovation. He also got great ovations during his hall of fame speech as well as other hall of fame inductions he made. We loved to hate him as a kid until we realized he was an amazing talent.

@@GameTime-yj6qv Well said

I always loved his consistency. The Heenan character hated Hulk Hogan, and unlike with a lot of people, he hated him whether he was a good guy or a bad guy. When he turned, Bobby said he'd been saying all along Hogan was a snake.

Me, too, Mr. Jones😒

Not every talent was on raw back in those days. They would have been running at least one other show that same day if not two.

And the greatest manager.

@@Michael-dd6hl And a hard worker. He was born with crap and made gold out of it.

Some of the biggest heels of our childhood were actually great human beings

@@GameTime-yj6qvYep, it was like that with Gary Hart too.

And some of the biggest on screen baby faces were heels in real life.

@@chunkz1187 "What are you trying to imply, brother?"

I can tell you've never had a real conversation with Bret or with anyone else who has.

@@godfathersofpodcastingI said "Hey Bret" to him backstage at an event back in 95. He said "Hey" back.. Seemed like a quiet/shy individual You ever converse with Bret?

Context is King. Earlier a certain Female WWF Women's Champion went to WCW and dumped that belt in the trash. Bret was on his way out heading to WCW. Vince didn't want the same thing to happen this time with the WWF championship. I understand that Bret wanted to go out on top , Vince didn't want to risk it. Hence Bret Screwed Bret. Oh and Bret isn't an affable guy. At least not now at any rate. He's a bitter man attacking a business that made him.

Bret has said numerous times why he didn't want to lose to hbk in Montreal. When he found out that they were working together at survivor series, he went up to Shawn and said, "Hey Shawn, just found out that we're working together at SS. I just want you to know that I don't have a problem putting you over and that you'll always be safe with me in the ring." According to Bret, Shawn looked right at him and said, "I appreciate that, but just so you know, I can't promise that i would do the same." I dont blame bret at all for not wanting to do business with him.

@@jeffreywhitaker6627Heres some more context.. Vince ultimately chose Hbk over Bret by letting Bret go. It became obvious that one had to go. Vince couldve let Hbk go and i argue that wouldve been better for Business. Couldve had Bret vs Austin at Wm 14 with Tyson as Ref and part of the Hart Foundation.. Just switch DXs role with Tyson with the Harts. But Vince played favorites and let Hbk get away with everything because he was a mark for the guy.. Why set things up so Bret has to get humiliated in his final match by a guy he hates? Couldve just had Bret drop the title to Taker or something And i dont see how Bret attacks the business

It wasn't about Michaels. It was about the location. Hart had already lost a match to him anyway.

@@CurlyFromTheSwirly No. Shawn and Brett had a real rivalry. The whole "Sunny Days" promo really pissed Brett off. They had a real backstage fight. And when Brett was told he was dropping the belt to Shawn, he went to Shawn and told him no matter what happened in the past, he would be professional and do the job. Michaels said he wouldn't do the same so Brett went to Vince and told him he'd drop the belt to anyone but Shawn.

My favorite too. Too bad Dynamite had the back injury. Growing up I realized Dynamite wasn't a great person but as a wrestler he was phenomenal. I would loved to have seen a British Bulldogs vs. Steiner Brothers match.

It never felt the same after Bobby left ☹️

I agree, but their best work IMO was on the studio shows like PTW. Comedic gold

@JohnnySquare I dunno what that is. I remember them from the USA network in the 80s, also comedic gold :)

@@bloodsling Prime Time Wrestling, the monday night studio show with the brain and gorilla. I'm pretty sure it's the same show you're talking about

@@JohnnySquare I'll take your word for it lol,my noodle ain't what it was.

Stone Cold did.

​@IsaacHowardJr-mi2ws yeah he's the only one I can think of. But other than that nobody else. Even Ultimate Warrior is on record saying he liked him and they were friends.

Same with me. I thought they can't be really throwing him out but it did seem like a farewell for Bobby. Then it was stunning when he showed up at WCW clash of the champions a short time later

I thought it was gonna be Gorilla vs Bobby at Rumble 94. lol

I bet Bobby asked to do it- even his firing was a storyline.

@@robertcoggeshall3071 yeah I don't know if it was in this interview or in another one that he mentioned it was his idea to be thrown out by Monsoon

He didn't get effed over. He was given the belt 5 fucking times, even while business SUCKED under him. It was he who wasn't loyal to Vince. He refused to meet Vince in the middle over the Belt that VINCE put on him. No matter how you wanna look at it, thats the simple truth

@@billybob5337 I do think he should have agreed to do the job but he still got screwed... The reason Bret was given the belt 5 times is because Vince could rely on him and he did better business than anyone else Vince could find even though Vince was never completely sold on him. Plus, Vince was putting out a bad product overall. No one would have shined during that period. No he was not S-tier like the Rock, Hogan, or Stone Cold, but he was definitely an A-tier star and someone you want around for people like the Rock or Stone Cold to feud with because he was such a good storyteller and one of the best in the ring.

Totally agree, Shawn slept his way up. Look at what's happening with Vince😂 Apple don't fall far from the tree!😂 Hitman didn't do any of that crap with Vince, hence why they screwed him out of the WWF!

@@billybob5337 humiliated n screwed by a man who ddnt respect him

@@billybob5337 Bret only refused to put Shawn over because Shawn told Bret to his face that he would never put Bret over. Bret already put Shawn over at WM12 remember, so it was only fair for Bret to ask for Shawn to do the same for him. And it was Vince who allowed Bret to have the ability to refuse to put Shawn or anyone else over. It was in Bret's contract, the 20-year contract Vince broke to begin with when he let Bret go, which is what led to the infamous night in Montreal in the first place. So it was Vince who broke his agreement with Bret, not the other way around.

I agree, genuinely sad to hear. You would have expected a lot of the guys to go out of their way to shake his hand etc, but I suppose with him leaving for the competition there wasn't much fuss made. Along the same lines was sad to hear only a handful of wrestlers turned up to Mean Gene's funeral

I wouldve thought Savage mightve wished him well

I heard that, but didn't someone else say that was false recently? I hope it was.@@tomlebomb

I still remember his last appearance on RAW where they literally threw him out of the building and he was scrambling to get all his stuff lol. That's my jacket! lol. It was a great on ait send off for a heel announcer. Just sad more talent didn't give him his flowers. The guy is responsible for getting so many people over.@@Nostalgia9478

@@Nostalgia9478Savage wasn't there that night, after Survivor Series, he didn't appear for any shows until the next month's European Tour.

He's the best

Huh. What’s wrong with that? You want to see him when he had cancer and do interviews? That’s sick. Why would he do them after he found out he had cancer that’s dumb

@russellcampbell3500 read my comments carefully im suggesting it's a shame there isn't more bobby the brain interviews and I appreciated this one. I'm saying more it's a shame there isn't any more of his interviews before his cancer mad either hard for him to do these. Read before you react next time

⁠​⁠@@russellcampbell3500No he’s saying it’s a shame there isn’t more Bobby interviews from before his cancer, jesus dude how would you interpret that as him saying he wants more cancer interviews?

@@sacheenmehta1982 ok I get that now you explained it. But you should read what you wrote that’s not how you phrased it

@@mikeg2491 learn to read. That’s what he wrote.

Do you get more merchandising and book sales if you get the belt sometime in your career? Surely belts are money.

@@stevencarr4002True but Stone Cold is still close to the top in merchandise sales now. The belt helps yes but it's still depends on the character to get him or herself over.

​@@manzi71 It provides had more to do with Bret and Shawn's personal dislike. Bret protected his brand just like many others did. People who defend Hogan and others just yell "he should have just put the guy over". Why would you care about putting over somebody you hate, and in an a company that you're leaving? Hogan put over Yoko at KOTR, but with interference and it did nothing. Yoko was not a long term attraction. Dude was 550 pounds.

It’s not a real fight. The belt is given

Yeah people make it seem it was as simple as Bret not wanting to lose
