RIP to the late-great Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
First we hear how Bobby says he and his family were treated by the Arsenio Hall show. Heenan was on Arsenio with Rick Rude back in 1990 in what was a classic appearance.
Then hear why Bobby says his "Bobby Heenan" show unfortunately had to end. This was a talk show hosted by Bobby which lasted only four amazing episodes.
According to Heenan, the show was canned because USA Network did not want the last 30 minutes of Prime Time Wrestling to be without wrestling.
The USA Network execs were upset and demanded Heenan go back to hosting Prime Time Wrestling instead. It's unforunate that the Bobby Heenan Show did not continues. I mean who could forget the oinkettes?

Gotta let your guests answer before asking more questions. Never letting the guy speak.
I grew up in the 70’s in northern Indiana. Heenan and the Bruiser were the stuff of legend. Bobby was despised and hated like no other. Thanks for the memories. RIP.
He and Dick the Bruiser were a great childhood memory for me too
That’s awesome . I live n Kokomo , Indiana
I grew up in Goshen IN, and we went to Northside Gym in Elkhart on a regular basis. Heenan made it fun.
J@@johnkincaid5788 Yep. Went there many times. One time I hit knocked off my chair after Wilbur Snyder crashed into me. What memories.
"Don't pick it up. They'll think we're the Valiants." Brain was too much!
That was great
It's so incredibly sad that Bobby went through so many terrible health issues the last decade and a half of his life. He was one of the best and brightest the wrestling industry ever had. Imagine Heenan having his own weekly podcast. Would have been so great.
The Brain Cast would absolutely kill today. And he would be the host as he always wanted to host programs lol. Heenan was hilarious
He liked too have fun doing his job. This is a BIG part of why Bobby was so Good at his job.. He Not only Loved the business, and when you Genuinely Love something its Not really a Job it becomes a Passion.. He definitely found his place in life, its just so saddening that he lost what was his Golden Ticket and within that Golden Ticket was the Ability what Every Loved about him so much.. And that was his Quick Witted Brain and his Knack to make Everyone Laugh..
RIP Bobby!
Couldn't say it better myself, 🫡🤘🤘
Bobby is a Legend he was a big reason of why the WWF in the 80's was soo successful he sold all the matches he was involved in it didn't matter if it was his top heel Andre the Giant or if it was just the Brooklyn Brawler he gave it 100 percent for every story line he was involved in.
Really enjoying the interviews. Greg Gagne said in an interview that Bobby Heenan was the only one of all the talent who left AWA for Vince and WWF that fulfilled his commitments before he left. He had a lot of respect for him because of that.
Yup. Heenan showing his integrity
was smart too, since if wwf somehow didn't work out, bobby didn't burn his bridge to go back to the awa.
greatest manager of all time, and showed why the brain wasn't just a nickname.
We didn't need the Bobby Heenan Show because we already had it. It was called Prime Time Wrestling.
It was must see tv for our family!
I liked Bobby as the heel manager, but I would've loved him more with his genuine demeanor. I love relaxed Bobby.
Bobby Hennan show was awesome. Wish it lasted longer.
Heenan was so funny. Heenan made pro wrestling fun to watch.
Great character.
bobby heenan always made me laugh. his commentary with gorilla monsoon was second to none. when he called people " ham an Eggers ' ' humanoids ' he was clearly one of the greatest managers ever
He proves the golden era was the best! He was funny without using cuss words or being over sexualized. Didn’t need beer, middle fingers or sex. Regardless if they thought of the fans as marks like we were all stupid and being con’d you could still bring your kids and enjoy the show. You could be a teenager who is struggling in sports or life and learned to believe in yourself. It didn’t matter to the fans if the wrestlers were in it for the money, for the belt or for the ego. Guys like Bobby made it fun and entertaining all for the price of a ticket or turning the tv on. Wrestling isn’t the same.
I rarely turn on Monday night Raw I never turn on Smack Down. Vince made wrestling and he also destroyed it. I read Sting finally retired but not from WWE but AEW and think that speaks volumes about WWE, enough said.
I think the Attitude era ruined wrestling, but it was a necessary evil in order for WWF to compete with WCW
If WWF didnt go raunchy, they prob never beat WCW in the ratings
@@Nostalgia9478 agreed!
I was somewhat glad that the guys who cared about the business retired long before jackass pervert Vince started showing his ass on television and very glad I stopped watching the product after he bought out his competition.
@@Nostalgia9478I enjoyed the attitude era as a teen, I won’t lie. What I dislike now though is now fans who think it’s the end-all be-all and that you can’t have gripping stories or humor without being crass. 80s WWF was still pg-lite yet entertaining. It’s not the family friendliness that makes WWE a snooze fest today, it’s just bad writing. A lot of stuff like Piper’s Pits segments still hold up and wipe the floor with 90% of the in-ring promos today.
@@mikeg2491 I enjoyed the Attitude Era at the time as well, but in hindsight I have no desire to rewatch any of it today. I do however rewatch the Golden Era and even the New Generation on occasions. Attitude just didnt age well for me. Far more style than compelling substance imho
Loved the Bobby Heenan show
- Bobby HEENAN did WOW???? I got to check that out. He must have had endless material
The man is quick with it. God I miss him
I grew in AWA territority and The Weasel vs Gagne was legendary. Good vs evil but with a huge dose of comedy! Those were the days of Dusty Verne & Greg, The Dog, The Baron, Mean Gene far too many others to mention. So many good memories and Herman's Family was a big part of those memories.
I miss The Bobby Heenan Show.
I like Bobby's vicious humor towards Jamison and his guests but I wish the show had a live or scripted audience.
These guys can’t stop cracking up. Awesome.
"There's a lot of guys pulling out of those places at 4 in the morning wearing galoshes" 😂😂😂
Love you Bobby. This 80's kid is eternally grateful to you for being so entertaining, fun and talented. Never even cared that you were a 'villain'😂 But, we'll just have to agree to disagree about Heather Hunter😂😂😂
Bobby you are missed
The absolute best of the best!! Really miss this man!!
“Don’t pick it up - They’ll think we’re the Valiants!” 😂
The "Brain" shining again here, his brilliance is so obvious and easy in this series of clips, what a treat!
I have realized that wrestling now with the internet kinda ruined it. I never knew how many times Bobby was in a weasel suit match with many different wrestlers. The Brain was the best. Mostly saw him in the AWA
I'd have enjoyed having a few beers and laughs with Bobby. Funny guy!
As a kid in the 80's , I never knew what a treasure Booby Heenan was. True legend💯💯💯
Bezerker throwing Jameson off the roof!
legend
Bobby was better than most comedians at getting a laugh. Hilarious.
My favorite part of the show by far was the Oinkettes!
And Jamison
The worst episode of Prime Time Wrestling will always be better than the best episode of Raw, Gorilla and Bobby made you want to watch the show between matches.
Better than any late night show on the air now
Nah, not Jimmy Kimmel. But Bobby was awesome.
Kimmel is an unfunny fake shill with the mental capacity of a cheese sandwich.@@CatsClaw44
That's a very low measuring stick.
Bobby always tells it straight
I wish they had done the show straight and had him shoot interview actually celebrities.
Bobby, you left us too soon. 😢
#RIPBobbyHeenan
I still pronounce Gucci the way Jameson did 😂😂
And the socks?
At the end of the FRIGGIN day, Jamison should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
Why? He is a character that’s barley remembered and was around maybe 6 months.
@@MovieEnvy He was there from 89 to 92 Bro. 3 years
Go ahead. He's perfect for the Hall of Sham.
Heenan was the goat 🐐 as a commentator, but the bobby heenan show was terrible. Must have had too much input from vince.
It couldve been better, but i think Heenan did a great job of making chicken salad out of chicken sh*t
I found the show entertaining
I remember hating it at the time, but I was young, so maybe didn't get the jokes. Thought the fat ladies and Jamison were stupid as hell.
@@robertcoggeshall3071Yea. It might have been your age. I just watched an episode the other day and i was cracking up every other minute due to one of Heenans lines
@@Nostalgia9478Yes, that show was ahead of its time.
@@barfo281 It was almost like a low key Howard Stern Show on the E channel tbh
"It's no worse doing WOW than doing......, " Bobby was scared to say "WWE", which was the real answer.
Miss the brain
Jamieson 😆 When Skinner tobacco juiced him.
You can see his throat cancer is creeping in here, whether he knew it or not,. He's unable to annunciate his words properly.
It was great buffoonery.
Hello ilove you
People wanted to see wrestling, not fat women and bad jokes. A little bit is OK, but not a whole half hour show.
Bro. It was hillarious when Heenan referred to the 3 oinkettes as "25" of the most beautiful Women youll ever see. lol
@@Nostalgia9478😂
@@GameTime-yj6qvWell said
Sad to watch these interviews. Heenan is a lot worse than his years on this show?
I liked Heenan. But even before this. Was time to go enjoy the money in peace.
He seems to just keep wanting to get his point across like he's bitter?
Gorilla Monsoon enjoyed the business till the end. I grew up watching Gordon Solie. He loved wrestling.
I think Heenan enjoyed it but Monsoon was a different part of the business. Monsoon was management. Heenan was an employee. Bobby didn't sugarcoat things. He said exactly what he felt. I don't think Bobby enjoyed his time in WCW. After Monsoon passed he was never the same.
@@MafiaKingfishNOLA Bobby looks ill in this interview. He's semi drooling. Like he wants to get things off his chest. But in reality none of it matters. He's gone and that part of the business is gone. It's all gone. Nothing he said mattered?
Why not just let us remember him for the light hearted stuff, as you say, with Monsoon. Rather than this bitterness.
Lots of them ruin the memories trying to make a point. They said what the needed to say when we enjoyed watching them.
I have watched wrestling since I was a child. But I can't watch much of the modern products. I did go see TNA live twice around 2013/14. Second show was amazing. That was about the last time for me, it was about what went on in the ring.
WWE and 20 mins promos do nothing for me. NWA seemed to have gone back to the old style for a while. But even that's gone now. That's caught up in the modern rubbish.
LA Knight about only good thing in wrestling and I nearly bought an Eli Drake T-shirt years ago. Wish I had.
This was recorded in 2002 - the year he first announced that he had throat cancer that would ultimately affect his ability to speak and lead to him losing his jaw. It's possible, even likely that he was already suffering early effects of the disease here
@@tmage23yes you can tell his voice was already affected a little bit. Such a horrible disease.
The Bobby Heenan show sucked! I'd turn the channel during that time. I tuned in for WRESTLING not a bunch of misfits with Heenan making fun of them.
