PWR Presents: A Conversation with Jessica Heenan (Bobby Heenan Health Update)

[moggy1231]

bobby heenan and gorilla monsoon were the greatest announcing team of all time.

[moggy1231]

funny thing is that one of heenan's best friends in the wrestling business is hulk hogan.

[camp168]

Bobby Heenan could have been a stand up comedian...he was the best on the mic!!!

[MrsWLeach]

Is it just me or do other fans miss those good ol days of Bobby 'the Weasel' and the 'MACHO KING' and Hulk Hogan and Hot Rod, Rowdy Roddy Piper, etc...WHERE did the time go?!?!?!

[CliffForster]

Bobby Heenan is one of my all time favorites. I just finished watching his WWE video on Netflix, completely enjoyable. Wrestling was so much better in the 80's. Heenan was such a huge part of that.

[webwarrior2000]

The absolute funniest man ever........I watched wrestling mainly to watch he and NIck Bocwinkel's interviews. And what an acrobatic performer! God Bless Bobby Heenan!

[elc1960]

There are 4 wrestlers I would like to meet in my life: Bruno Sammartino, Mick Foley, George Steele, and last (but far from least), Bobby Heenan. What an amazing story his first book was, and I want to read the second one also. This DVD is one I have to get. Most of the rumors about his health were just rumors and no more - except for dealing with his hip and his leg, he's apparently OK at the moment. He beat cancer, and it appears his jaw has healed as well. Much love to all the Heenans!

[MrsWLeach]

@elc1960 Does this mean that Bobby's talking now? Not sure if his wife wants it, but the rest of us wanna be called 'HUMANOIDS' again.

[elc1960]

@MrsWLeach Well, he's talked all along, except for the period when his jaw was being worked on.  His voice sounds somewhat thinner than it used to, but he talks. He's appeared in a lot of the WWE home videos over the past few years, although the word "humanoid" doesn't appear in any of those comments. Not sure if he's appeared at the WWE's pre-Wrestlemania fan-fests. If he's able to, I would bet any money that he'd be at this year's event

[MrsWLeach]

@elc1960 Thanks! Glad to hear! I was watching him and Jim Cornette talking and it's like night and day. There is SOME 'brain' in there, but Bobby's a lot more laid back. And he just about had Cornette on the floor at one point, laughing about the comparisons between getting a job with the same 'lack of benefits' pro-wrestling has. No hospital insurance. No paid vacations. No weekends off? No guaranteed salary? Heck, yeah. Sign me up for that job! Ha, ha.

[Pulpedtoafiction31]

If you go back she said he is actually doing really well.Apart from falling and breaking his hips.Clumsy old bastard,lol.I wish him well.

[MrsWLeach]

Cool! The Brain is a grandpa?!? Oh wow! Glad to hear he's doing well. I'm JEALOUS of Jessica! Nick Bockwinkle said that Cindi Heenan is a gutsy lady! And YES! You CAN hear him in the books. He should keep writing! Thanks, Jessica!

[newschoolz]

I think Bobby is dying and they are just trying to make it positive and cover it up. It's sad but it looks like Bobby's days are almost over.

[frrrrrunkis]

Greatest manager of all time, hands down.

[mojoidol]

Happy to hear The Brain is doing well.

[runesofmagichq]

Guys she says hes in okay health , but hes still dying ...

[TSMontana]

@runesofmagichq You don't need to hurry it along. :-(

[runesofmagichq]

@TSMontana Its the reality , i lost my grandma once they start losing weight and get nauseia if weed dont cure it so they can eat (anything touched her lips yogurt , juice ) they throw up... They become weak and it ends... "The end my beautiful friend" ^^

[MrsWLeach]

@runesofmagichq Why would his daughter lie about it? If that were the case, Jessica would be unable to speak...she'd be too upset. She sounds quite honest about what's going on. 

[runesofmagichq]

@MrsWLeach Because it hasn't happened yet... Shes just talking about the rumor that the dumb ass Lanny Poffo put out.. she also may not be aware of how cancer works and how chemo and radiation works...

[stndrds79]

nto really beloved my millions, i mean his fans hated him in the business because hew as a heel. but we all love him of course.

[stndrds79]

holy smokes!!! i always was looking to hear from bobby's daughter! wow!!

[biggerlouie1988]

its good to hear the brain is doing ok!!

[JoBo6772]

AWESOME to hear that Bobby is better than we had heard.

He is one of the most entertaining men in the history of the business. His banterings with Gorilla were CLASSIC and awesome to watch.

The "Heenan Family" (dont call it a stable LOL) were one of the best in wrestling history.

One more for old times sake:

WEASEL WEASEL WEASEL WEASEL

We all as Wrestling fans want to THANK YOU BOBBY for all you have done

[ReducedFatEric]

I went against the mold of what WWF fed us. Bobby the Brain Heenan and Ted Dibiase were my two favorite characters in wrestling growing up. I look at wrestling today and it is nothing compared to what greatness Bobby the Brain did for us as a manager and announcer.

[doesyourgodcomeinaca]

Would be pretty fucking awsome if the Brain was the Raw GM... hey it could happen.

[tandemcross]

god how i miss the 'brain scan'.

[TheGenius19]

Hang in there Bobby, we love ya!

[ilovethe80sdude]

Congratulations to Bobby Heenan. I'm not talking about his career in pro wrestling. I'm talking about being a great husband and father. You can really sense it by listening to this interview with Jessica, his daughter. Also, great job by the Heenan family for helping him through this difficult time in his life. Best wishes to all.

[MrHellface666]

this is what the wwe majorly lacks, characters like Heenan, and managers in general

[RumbleHD]

@MrHellface666 Instead we get no talent divas who will be forgotten by next week.

[ELIMINATORRRR]

Glad to know Bobby is doing well, wish him and his family the best like damien said =).

[SuperEdroc]

the best of all time!

[scott630]

i love Bobby. So happy to hear that he is well.  Thanks to Jessica for the update! much love!

[damnsuicide]

thanks for the update

[LiveInTheAtl]

Growing up in the early 80's i agree 100%.There are alot of very clever and charasmatic individuals in wrestling now like Edge Christian,Jerhico to name a few.But Bobby is the most hilarious individual i have ever seen in pro wrestling.You can say anything,And it will take him 1 second to get back at ya.Thanks Bobby and stay healthy.

[jefbfg11harvy]

lookin 4ward 2 d bobby heenan dvd :)

[mongomartin1]

Boby Heenan was and is a legend and pretty much a genius as far as talking goes. He's a survivor and it is good to know the rumors aren't true and he's doing better than we heard.

[vipor29]

i agree he is a legend and what a great interview..one of the greatest managers of all time and one of my favorites

[loflaherty21]

the man is a legend
