I haven't watched this bit in some twenty years plus, and I have to say, they built up the tension pretty well. Much of the credit of the bit is, of course, Bobby Heenan's, however the pure glee in Vince's voice when he asks "Have you ever been fired before????" was pretty great.
I've always been confused about when exactly Heenan became Orndorff's manager prior to this. When Orndorff came into the WWF in '84, Piper was his manager and I thought he had been right up to Wrestlemania. Then afterwards, Heenan was his manager?
Back in the days when Vince McMahon was a calm, outgoing Male with a personality very much enjoyed by The Public. Seeing Vince McMahon today vs the way he was displayed on this video back in 1985, is a prime example that the older you get in life, the bigger the Asshole you become to the General Public!
I HAVE SEVERAL WRESTLER IN MY CLASSIC FIGURE COLLECTION..... PAUL,,,, BOBBY,,,,,,PIPER,,,,, CLASSIC UNDERTAKER W/RED BEARD,,,,,, BRUTUS BEEFCAKE,,,,,,WARRIOR..... & SEVERAL OTHERS...... LOOKING AT THIS CLIP AGAIN.......I KNOW WHY I'LL NEVER PART WITH ANY OF THEM...... THANK'S FOR THE MEMORIES......
@ChargerBullet The head on the floor was there because King Kong Bundy appeared on this segment of TNT and he was trying on some wigs. At the end of that Lord Alfred Hayes couldn't control himself and was laughing his ass off. lol
orndorff and heenan were great for the business two of my favorites. I liked that promo that orndorff did when he dissed piper and he said he can be the poster boy for roto rooter.
Heenan is the best at putting people over...Notice how he squeaked his voice on purpose at the end to display nervousness in front of Vince! Great comedy touch to sell the storyline!
"Don't you shout at me... I am your manager." I find Bobby a really underrated actor.

His is how over Heenan was as a heel. You could turn a guy face with two words to Heenan: "You're fired"
