Nicest guy you've ever met despite his super heel gimick. He's been suffering for a long time, so I'm glad he's finally at peace.
Must be a sweet party going on with him and Gorilla. |

Bobby Heenan is arguably the quintessential heel in all of WWE, then known as WWF at the time. He was so slimy as a manager and a commentator that you wanted to punch his lights out. At the same time, you gotta admire his commitment to the business and commentary style. Few men can replicate what he has done.
As Katie pointed out, Heenan's been dealing with a lot of health issues. I know that despite them, he still pulled a classy and entertaining speech at the Hall of Fame in 2004. His speech to this day remains one of my top 3 favorites from that showcase. Regardless, it really sucks he's gone. ![]() Rest in peace, Heenan. You'll always be one of the all-time greats.

Man, I always liked Heenan's commentary on Nitro. Also liked his column in the old WCW magazine called "Brain Reaction." I knew he had health issues, but he lasted a lot longer than I thought he would and will be missed by a lot of people.
