One of the most honest and classiest things to come out of wrestling... right there.... Classy Bobby... :)
-
Wow! Tony was being an ass
-
@PeyserConley I remember reading that Heenan threatened not to do the show if Gorilla Monsoon's death was not mentioned
-
I heard that Tony Schiavone didn't want Monsoon to be mentioned at all. You can clearly see that from his attitude here.

I also grew up hating Bobby Heenan. He played his role as a villain exceptionally well. However, it's so easy to forget that all these guys are just regular human beings, not the caricatures they pretend to be. I wish Heenan well and hope his able to fully recover from his cancer.

Wow. Bobby Heenan's goodbye to Gorilla Monsoon.

Bobby is a true Legend and was so great at everything he did in wrestling.
that being said Bobby was best when teamed with Gorilla.
-
is this the same episode of Nitro where Heenan says "I cant hear you from way down here" to Tony? If so when did this air?

@Leenos Agreed 100%. I'm a 27 year old man and have been watching wrestling since I was 3 years old and I'm not afraid to say I cried when both HBK and Trish Stratus retired. HBK because I grew up with watching and and Trish because JR did an amazing job making the moment so special.
All I can say is... wow. What a truly great guy Hennan is, and to think I grew up as a child just hating his guts, I love it. When he got emotional there, I dunno, I felt for him. Class act. And the calibre of true entertainers the likes of Heenan, Monsoon, Ventura and a select few others were. It will never be matched. and I say that with absolute confidence. That golden period from 85 to 90/91 will always stand alone as a very special time.
