Bobby Heenan dropped out of school in the 7th grade. Miller hardly acknowledged it. Heenan was literally a genius. Like Heenan told Bob Costas, "I should be hosting this show." RIP Bobby Heenan. GOAT.

looks like Miller rushed it because of time constraints. seemed like he wanted to get thru specific bullet points. if it were a podcast nowadays I'm sure it would be an hour long interview at least.

VInce actually gave Bobby a show but it only ran for a few episodes because he (Vince) didn't let USA network in on it. If he had, who knows where it could have gone. At least McMahon appreciated the talent, which is more than could be said for WCW and Bischoff.

Dude, now as an adult, I can appreciate Bobby sooooo much more. Think about it: what made the baby faces sooooo great were the extreme heels that you loved to hate. Is there anyone so “despicable” as Bobby heenan? He took that bullet for the fans every single night he appeared so he could lift up the baby faces, and provide a villian in some form for the hero. Whether it was a snarky manager or a formidable foe in the ring, Bobby did that every night for us. Heart of gold in real life who loves his fans as much as they loved him. Heaven gained a gem the day he entered. We miss you brain!!!! RIP hero!!!!

Heenan was a one of a kind, his commentator work was unlike anything and with the cancer taking his way to speak I'm sure it hurts him as a person but hearing him laugh here is a good thing. his days in wcw were the best in my eyes. not to mention his commentator work with Goldberg was intense and felt. he made wrestling enjoyable. he still does his part but sad to know wwe doesn't pay tribute to his impact on wrestilng.
