Bobby "The Brain" Heenan Hall Of Fame Speech 2004 P1

[lockoshamface]

Bobby thank you for all your hilarious witty comments and probably more importantly for how you delivered them....you sir are and always will be a legend

[quakepapi]

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan he truly was the best manager in wrestling. I remember finding myself focusing on Mr Heenan during a match. He was so brilliant and such a character!

[thereverendwho]

There will never be another Brain. Viva la Weasel!

[kybelian]

GOOD to see Pete Rose there. Damn baseball writer hypocrites.

[MelodicHollier]

best heel ever, best wrestling personality ever, one of the funniest people ive ever heard in my life. I could hear him talk for hours. Love live the Brain!

[twiztidlestat]

This was when the Hall had more credibility, Now, Not so much

[54rein]

No one like him ...before or since. He was one of the reasons to watch each week. He was the Don Rickles of wrestling. Thanks for the memories Brain....I will always think about you

[666Horns]

I think having the Hall of Fame in ballroom, or whatever kind of room they are in here for this hall of fame is much more nicer and less nerve racking than having it in an arena or what have you

[AeriykTheRed]

When you can get Kane to laugh, you know you're killing it in your Hall of Fame speech. Bobby Heenan is my favorite wrestling personality because of just that reason.

[dannelson99]

miss the day`s of the brain & roddy piper there will never be anybody like them again

[Vergadoce]

One of my favorite remarks of all time on a telecast: "Euthanasia? I'm more concerned about our youth in America!" -- Heenan. LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[surfer53]

Is he clear of cancer yet? or is he on his last legs?

[RicoLen1]

@surfer53 Unfortunately I heard he had his lower jaw removed and is still fighting... IMO it sounds to me like he's fighting a slow and losing battle. :(

It absolutely sucks because Heenan is the one talent the WWE has had that I believe has been held back because he was with pro-wrestling. This guy could have been the next David Letterman had he just been able to get ABC behind him in the 80's to start his own late night show.

He is the most talent man behind the mic in WWE history.

[SamirEscoto]

@RicoLen1 No it was an infection that he had inside of his reconstructed jaw from his cancer, but they got rid of it. So he can still talk and eat.

[gtrfurby]

37,000+ views,111 likes and 0 dislikes hmm what does that tell you about the "brain"

[ZuluWarriorz]

"ANYONE GOT ANY WEED" LMAO!!!!!!!!!

Absolute Legend,such a shame his voice has changed due to the cancer,but just shows the warrior he is,that he's still hear jokin an telling them great stories.

[TheMashwatcher585]

@ScottishNonBeliever saturday night live would had been perfect for him

[RicoLen1]

@TheMashwatcher585 Nah, Heenan was a host, not an actor. He had comedic timing and quick wit to match the very best comedic talents, still does in fact. His style of humor was broad and timeless. Bobby Heenan deserves a spot (that he'll never get) along side comedic geniuses like Abbot & Costello, Bob Hope & Johny Carson. He really IS that good.

[jerzeefranky3475]

He was/is more like Harley Race of managers,2 be honest w/ you guys...He might've not had as many titles/champions...But he NEVER became a living joke 2wards the end of it...STILL THE Manager of Managers,imho...

[Marc82193]

Things I miss about wrestling 1. Managers where have they gone 2. The dressing room clearing out and all the guys are in the ring and the commentator says "Oh My God were out of time see you next week. 3 The interviews with the belt holder & the guy comes & beat him up steal the belt and next week the guy is wearing the belt doing an interview Ha! Classic

[supersnowyangel]

Bobby is the best

[AJFergy]

best manager for sure, but I think he's also the best commentator of all time, definitely part of the best commentary team w/ Monsoon

[07dunn]

Bobby Heenan the best hands down much respect for all the years of entertaining me as a child

[DrewBludd]

It's a real shame that Bobby Heenan's voice has been compromised so.

[Edam3000]

Who's the woman in the white suit at 7:47 ?

[vodkagal28]

@Edam3000 Arnie's wife.

[TheMusicman12ize]

this guy was the greatest in the wwf loved bobby heenan funny guy 1 amazing man

[jerzeefranky3475]

i believe if u think his zingers 2wards his wife,cynthia,r harsh...im guessing u woiuld prolly wanna hear any she prolly has had 2wards him...theyre possibly better/worse than any he could ever come up w/...

[stali28]

DO THEY EVEN HAVE MANAGERS ANYMORE ??

[gymdog45]

He took a dump on Pete Rose's head and Pete high-fived him for it!

[motleyhar]

LOL Brooklyn Brawler. I used to love watching him get ran over the stars like a little speed bump. Too funny.

[bigrigbob2010]

@motleyhar Steve lombardi AKA the brawler never gets the credit he deserves he could go out there and make ANYONE look good even if they really were not all that good. Career jobber but probably the best at jobbing and making the other wrestler look good, takes a lot of talent to do that.

[crzyjanie]

bobby heenan helped my friend to fight cancer.while im so upset about his passing,but my friend is still fighting the battle.god bless you bobby.you have made more people laugh,cry,blow up,and feel every possible emotion.i loved you then,i love you still,always have and always will.love your biggest and best fan,janie stratton

[MrExposethetruth]

@crzyjanie heenan isn't dead. what did you mean upset about his passing?

[LESRAM1981]

Damn he is so funny as hell. OMG. I couldn't stop laughing. Bobby is a great.

[tehCrazian]

I think I'm a bigger fan of The Brain than any wrestler

[pnroyal]

I could listen to The Brain talk for hours. Did he ever recover from his vocal troubles?

[Planktontwo]

A well deserved honour for the Weasel. Does not make me happy that Vince McMahon stole Verne Gagne's idea to call him the weasel. Back then there were no patents on characters. A true entertainment gem.

[getodachoppa1]

8:24 Kane trying not to laugh lol

[XWF1000v2]

I hope his Induction is in his DVD that comes out Dec 28!

[leprechaun81atx]

anybody got any weed hahaha Bobby is the man.

[MRDXKLIQ101]

when he talked about monsoon my eyes sure as hell watered as much as they spent time together and had monsoon been alive he should inducted the brain

[StayUgly]

@MRDXKLIQ101 Yeah... same here. I wouldn't want to meet the person whose eyes didn¨'t!

[qqqTOXICqqq]

If it's fake all he does is pretend to be a manger? I don't get it...He's not really managing right? He's an actor, right?

[7Rayo13]

@qqqTOXICqqq

Yes he's acting, they are all acting, but a manager is supposed to provide a certain credibility to a wrestler. A wrestler's association with a well known manager helps his stock rise. A good manager has to be a good talker in front of the camera because sometimes the manager has to be the voice of the wrestler. A good manager also provides an extra obstacle that the hero must overcome in order to defeat his enemy. Managers used to be very important parts of the show

[beefmong]

@7Rayo13 But some managers were literally managers. For example, Precious Paul Ellering, who managed the Road Warriors, did EVERYTHING for those guys; he booked hotels, arranged their travel, worked out their schedules, discussed the matches with them, oversaw their training in the gym, and did everything a good manager should do

[1993Duster]

I loved watching Heenan on Nitro. Those were the days. I wih we could go back in time.

[mightykamina2009]

It was always great hearing Heenan and Gorilla commentating the matches. Heenan always ranting on about the heels and Gorilla says "WILL YOU STOP?!"

[DarthRevan1051]

what is kane doing in the panel?

[kmking0420]

@DarthRevan1051 he inducted pete rose

[UnderTheHatTV]

God bless Bobby and Gorilla. Classic! Thanks for the memories.

[varunaidu2]

even kane is laughing

[getodachoppa1]

He got so many VERY well deserved standing ovations.

[fatnewman]

He is just amazing

[JuiceIsLoose22]

thank you for putting this up

[WeaselHalfbreed]

Bobby "the Weasel" Heenan, haha!

[scottslovegun]

the good ol wrestling days when it was fun and entertaining.

[sayanroy36]

best manager of all time and also one half of the best announce team of all time

[osukdawg76]

I love that he treats it like it's a Roast. The man is brilliant at witty comments. It's a shame that Monsoon couldn't be there to see him.

[stylinnprofylin]

Bobby Heenan was one helluva a quick witted guy best at what he does period.

[Danlaw83]

Bobby Heenan, THE MAN, period.

RIP Gorilla Monsoon!!

[rjhayskie009]

R.I.P GORILLA MONSOON!

[VolumedMusicMan]

what a guy! Anybody from chicago to indiana we all grew up with him. God bless Mr. Heenan

[PUNKem733]

Bobby and Gorilla were amazing. You couldn't have scripted their banter any better. Usually it wasn't.

[StayUgly]

@PUNKem733 Yeah, they were(as many others have pointed out)great together.

[jobber25v]

bobby is great

[roh1234]

Bobby is a legend, one of the greatest commentators of all time, and one of the greatest managers of all time, a true gentleman and representive of the sport.

[thechaz83]

So sad what has been happening to Bobby Heenan health wise. In a perfect world it wouldn't be. Bobby forever

[ibeliveification]

He is still really funny. His induction was well over due.

[sicrick666]

did he say "anybody got any weed"

[asher24]

Simply The Best

[hando88c]

He's the Ric Flair of managers!

[88Thyra]

OI !

[SweetWhiskerz]

@hando88c too true

[Rayla840]

@hando88c I always felt the Johnny Carson of wrestling. Was a legitimate sense of class and was hilarious!!!

[OneDownServer]

@hando88c ric flair is shit compared to Heenan

[Derby14]

Bobby absolutely stole the show at the 2004 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. That was also the only HOF DVD that they released on its own - the rest have been coupled with the Wrestlemania DVD. I'm guessing that is because the 2004 DVD did not sell that well. I bought it and Bobby's speech alone made it worth the price I paid for that DVD.  His speech was the only one I watched more than once - I could listen to Bobby all day long.

[lettersfromaboy]

I thought that Jesse Ventura was great aswell.

[louishenna]

He is like the george constaza of wrestling

[TheMashwatcher585]

He would had made one hell of a comedian

[herbgardner420]

@TheMashwatcher585 I'll assume you weren't talking about Blackjack Lanza

[frank787922]

I really miss those days of the WWF.The Brain was great.

[mets2128]

Weasel!

[chrisis138]

Heenan was one crazy nigger

[jandean61]

@chrisis138 hahah

[petar1shuwack]

Absolutely the cornerstone of an era. As much as the wrestlrs did in the ring heperformed with the headset. He was brilliant. I think that WWE today sucks because they dont have good comentators.The rock made most of these guys look like retards. There were so many times that the brain took the show from the wrestlers.They were there just so he could have something to talk about. He really was a legend.

[cfreeman001]

"Man, this is fun sober....anybody got any weed" lmfao... 8:25

Heenan was the best

[thecritic2007]

@cfreeman001 still is

[jazemsangl]

i agree with all of you . Bobby was in a clas of his own . Truly on of the best . Him and Gorilla Monsoon made one of the best tag team brodcast partners ever The show prime time wrestling was a classic you can watch some of the shows on WWE on demand . I saw The Brain not to long ago at the hall of fame . I kno he is in bad health . My prayers are with you

[Afcajax1221]

Far and away, Heenan is the greatest manager of all time. He could draw heat greater than any heel in the history of this industry. He's a king!

[milliwwe]

the greatest manager of all time the brain

[DrVegasIII]

Im a bit disapointed that there's only 4,300+ views for this video... Heenan was great to say the absolute least!!! He did equally as much as Hogan did for WWF (YEAH F)-(Screw WWE!!) This guy is incredible!!!!

[pearljam619]

We need managers in WWE today I was born in 81 and was a kid when WWF was first being shown over here it was an amazing time. I agree with Lightning its a bit sad seeing all our heros growing older. But WWE today is so stale and boring its nowhere near as good as it used to be.

[LightningJanitorial]

P.S. Does anyone else on here become a little sad seeing just how old all of these guys we grew up with look?

I was born in 75, and im getting there, but damn its incredible how time has flown by and all these guys I grew up watching look so aged.

Amazing.

[flipsiderunner]

wrestling ages people quick

[LightningJanitorial]

Lol. I absolutely HATED this guy when I was a kid. Yes, I was a stupid kid with acne that bought into the storylines of Pro Wrestling, but I think the fact that this guy was hated by me and so many others, really shows how great of a showman he was.

NO OTHER manager got crowds as pissed and into wrestling as much as the Brain, and I look back today and watch these vids of the guy and I just admire him.

God bless him. I hope he stays healthy for years to come.

[agdog02]

The Brain was the best.

[milliwwe]

he is the greatets manager alive today. look what he has been through

[nWo24life]

I was fortunate enough to grow up (I was born in 1980) with Bobby Heenan as THE heel manager in wrestling. I hated him as a child, which meant he did his job. The fact that as an adult, I love this guy like a family member even though I've never met him, shows how great he is. Bobby Heenan is, without question, the greatest manager in the history of professional wrestling.

[keh678]

The greatest colour commentatory of all time, greatest manager of all time, greatest heel of all time. How can you compete with that.

[DrVegasIII]

Greatist personality of all time in all of wrestling!!!

[BREAKTHECODE2222009]

kane laughing was priceless

[Daffanka]

Heenan could bring some fucking heat. He was a crazy good entertainer.

[MrsWLeach]

THIS IS NICE! THANKS for POSTING!!! Pleasant surprise!

[FartScrap]

I love Bobby Heenan. I hope he keeps up the fight. I hear he's not doing so well lately.

[T82486]

My favorite WWF "Broadcast Journalist" (LOL) of all!!!!!!!!!!!

[TJae1]

oppsss... 140 lbs

[TJae1]

like micheal moore.. 200 lbs liter..

[burnsyboy2007]

Bobby The Brain Heenan is a fucking legend! One of my favourite from wrestling.

[CANBERRACOURTBOY]

bobby heenan the best commentator ever

[faithfulgirl82]

Like most of you who had the joy of watching managers/commentators like Heenan, I feel there is a huge void in today's wrestling. Back in the Golden Era up to the mid 90s, we had the best wrestling, best gimmicks, best storylines, best wrestling history making moments, best commentators, best managers, best tag teams, the best of the best of wrestling!

Booby Heenan was definitely one the best!!! Love you Heenan... still making us laugh!!!

[MetalpuppyUS]

The Greatest Manager Ever!!!!

[Gendoshands]

I was there that night, thanks for putting this up.

[thomasedge4life]

i sore Kane trying to keep a straight serious face xD

[pearljam619]

We need managers again in wrestling they were so entertaining. Bobby, Paul Bearer, Mouth of the South, etc good times.

[idimegra21]

Bobby an The grand wizard were my favorite. Mainly bobby though. But your right we do need some people like them.

[pearljam619]

I cant even remember the last comic /funny manager we had in wwf(e) Its all about the breasts and chests now days. We need another double act too.

[Obelisk2290]

damn weasel you bet on wrestling im, crushed

[rdpangy24]

Best manager ever too

[newfie2keith]

Best wrestling commentary duo ever - Bobby Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon!

[rdpangy24]

True that!!!!!!!!!

[Obelisk2290]

damn right and best wit and manager too

[JUSTWATCHWRESTLING]

got that right. rr 92 and wm 8 is all the proof u need for that one

[pearljam619]

I agree my friend! Wrestling is just so crap nowdays I feel sorry for today's kids. Im a teacher and I show the lads claasic matches on tv!!!

[dkupke]

Bobby just had a wit and a charisma that has not been equaled since. When he was a manager he would help to build up the guys he worked with because to have HIM as their manager seemed like such a huge boost. He didn't steal spotlight., he added to it. The industry could badly use someone like him today.

[malBOROkid]

weasel!weasel!weasel!

[rembrandtoflights1]

BOBBY BOBBY MY FIST WAS IN THE AIR/
