A little preview to whet your appetite…
I hope they include this on the upcoming DVD:







Nice! I wish they would include the wrestlers hall of fame cerimony in the dvd's as well. I know they did on the first Hogan dvd but they didn't do it for Flair which pissed me off.

Jesse was the guy Vince chose to try out his new idea of having a regular, heel color guy.
It used to crack me up when he went on about how much "highly trained skill" it takes to pull your opponent's hair when the referee isn't looking.

haha, I also loved when he would just be completely oblivious to anything a heel did and then when a face would throw a punch he would rant about it for 5 minutes.....good stuff.

Remember the body shop back in 1985-1986? His talk show segment? I remember when he had the Hart Foundation on their as guests and Jim The Anvil Neidhart did 20 easy reps with two plates per side saying how light it was as he kicked out rep after rep. Good stuff.

Yeah, I think that - for some reason - a lot of people forget just how powerful Neidhart was.
They go on and on about Warlord, Steiner, Smith, etc., but "the Andvil" deserved his spot.

I remember Doug Furnace from 1996 when he had a small stink in the WWE with partner Philip Lafon. Wonder whatever happened to those two.

Sure.
Who is best is a matter of opinion.
I will say, though, that Heenan was one of my all-time personal favorites!

I wonder how he's doing lately with his throat cancer battles? Last pic I saw of him was with King Kong Bundy at the cauliflower convention and half his lower jaw was missing. I feel bad for the guy. Was always one of my favorites.

Very sad.  I agree Bobby was one of the best if not "the" best talkers.  He has been everywhere and handled some big names.

It's hard to find much info on him.
His website's been shut down for a while now, and he's very seldom mentioned on any of the news boards.

As noted earlier here on the website, Bobby Heenan is reportedly in very poor health at a Tampa, Florida hospital.
Lanny Poffo, brother of Randy Savage, said on the Who's Slamming Who podcast this week that he heard from a friend that the WWE Hall of Famer "might be on his last legs."

The wrestler formerly known as The Genius said Heenan has been "in and out of a coma" in a Tampa area hospital and is "not aware of anything."

Heenan has been in poor health in recent years due to surgery on his throat and reconstructive jaw surgery.

It should be noted however, Great Lakes Championship Wrestling promoter David Herro wrote on Twitter that he heard from the wife of the WWE Hall of Famer, who said that Bobby is not hospitalized.

Herro wrote, "Just spoke with Cindy Heenan the lovely wife of "The Brain", Bobby is NOT in a coma & is not in the hospital. He's home resting his hip."

Also, MVP recently tweeted: "Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan is in bad shape. Yrs ago he encouraged & complimented me! Keep him in your thoughts & send positive vibes his way!"

We're getting conflicting reports as well. We'll keep you posted as we get more.
