Just listened to the Bobby Heenan episode of Tony Schiavone's podcast a few days ago, and some of those stories and jokes were hilarious.
Like the one where Bobby asked a lady if he could smell her pussy and when she said no, he replied "oh, must be your feet then." RIP Brain |

Considering how ill he looked physically, I'm surprised this didn't happen years ago! Despite all of that, in videos of fan encounters he always seemed positive, even when he could barely speak. R.I.P.

Heenan LOVED meeting fans. It's why he kept going to coventions , even when he was really sick. I've got so much Heenan stuff in my collection that I'm going to have to go through.

Like everyone else, I'm partially sad and partially relieved for him. Greatest manager of all time. Greatest color commentator of all time. And my favorite voice in wrestling. It takes me back to the very beginning of my own fandom and every time I put on a show on the network and hear him call matches, I get the feels....that will never change.

The 92 Royal Rumble match is my favourite Rumble match of all time for two major reasons: 1) The performance of Ric Flair in the ring and 2) the performance of Bobby Heenan on commentary. As has been said, the greatest colour commentator of all time, one of the most memorable wrestling personalities to be on TV and, by all accounts, a good man.
If there is such a thing as the afterlife, then Monsoon will have been waiting for him at the Gorilla Position aka the Pearly Gates of Heaven. |

Really sad but at the same time it's a release for him, he's been battling cancer on and off since 2002, the body can only take so much and aging doesn't help matters. It was sad to see how much he had deteriorated but he still seemed to be in good spirits regardless.

Snuka's one was the most half assed one I've seen wwe put out, it seemed to be slapped together inside of 5 minutes. Surprised they even bothered with that trial being in the news around the time.

I don't think Snuka should have gotten one when most wrestlers don't.

I want to poke fun about this death, but it really hits me because i grew up on Bobby Hennan. When he managed Andre to when he managed Mr. Perfect and when he was pro Flair in the 92 Rumble. I really loved Bobby Heenan. I think he was brilliant. I've been missing Bobby for the last 15 years or so. Guys like the Rock or Austin can be replaced by big stars, but WWE has yet to be able to replace a Bobby Heenan. That says a lot. Rest in Peace Brain.

According to his obituary in the Tampa Bay Times, official cause of death for Heenan was organ failure due to his throat cancer.

Lol so Blackjack Lanza inducted Heenan. It's never shown because it was 20 minutes of Bobby Heenan being drunk stories that upset the family so much that Heenan's daughter was crying
