I can listen to The Brain talk for hours about the good o' days. We miss you, Bobby
I love his comment on Haku at the end.
There use to be a Polynesian restaurant near my house that served like 2am in the morning. My friend and I were there and about to get seated when Alpha, Seeka, and, and Haku walked in. We invite then to join us and they accepted. My god those Samoans can put away. We asked for separate bills. When we were ready to leave Haku snatched the check and told us that they were picking up our tab. I asked why when we got outside? He goes you were the first ones that didn't ask us all sorts of wrestling questions, or ask us for autographs and stuff like that. Those guys would literally give you their shirts off their backs if you needed it with out hesitation.
@@walterkoziol3822 That's amazing. We see them as "larger than life" characters, right out of Greek mythology like Hercules. In reality, most of them grew up just like the rest of us. Even fewer though don't let fame and fortune distort their world view and how one treats people. Your story is proof
@@walterkoziol3822 you mean Afa and Sika
Bobby the brain Heenan is a name I’ve remembered since I was a little kid in the 80s. He left a real impression.
2:00 I really like Bobby's story of a flight attendant giving Andre a literal 🪛 instead of the drink called screwdriver and then Andre asked her,"What would you have brought me if I said Bloody Mary". 😅
Or a virgin daiquiri 😂
All that knowledge, we don't have anymore. :(
We still have Jim Cornette. He’s probably the best living historian of pro wrestling today.
@@dr.floridamanphdand a sexual predator/rapist. Screw Jim and Vince.
We miss you Bobby. ❤

"We never said it was real. You said it was fake."
That is a very interesting take, and I can see the logic behind it.
I'm not sure I buy that when you watch old matches from the 70s and they announce before a match 'supervised by the NY athletic commission and three judges at ringside' type of thing
I'm not into real fighting, competitive combat sport/ MMA and UFC is real, horrifically violent and dreadfully dull/ I think of it as non-sexual porn/ I like professional wrestling b/c of the theatrical performance, larger-than-life characters and freaky, crazy personalities, gritty, poetic anarchy that is the essence of what they do/
Legend is used to much in society,, in his trade Bobby the brain or aka weasel to my younger self was and always will be a true legend,Rip brain
My dad was a security guard that would walk him to the ring back in the 60s at the Chicago Amphitheater.
He would always tell my dad “just watch my back“, he said he was the nicest guy in the world.
I’ve never heard anyone ever say a bad word about the weasel.
I saw him wrestle buck zumhofe there.
Bobby is the man
Bobby Heenan truly was the Brain, a real genius. Mr. X
That was a funny story. Andre had the perfect response to that flight attendant lol. He was such a kind soul, a true gentle giant.
Al Snow,Bobby Heenan,Jimmy Hart,Hacksaw Duggin,and Greg Valentine's are the best most insightful sober interviews you'll see.
I always really liked Bobby but after watching this interview with him, it is clear to me that he is a Giant of the business. What a treasure of a man.
This is why Bobby was called the " Brain "
The WWF days were the greatest ever
Attendant brings out the Vodka/OJ. "SHE'S LEARNINNN"
"Screw Driver." For a moment there I thought Bobby would say the pilot walked back with a smile on his face and thanked Andre.
Like him or not, he was called "The Brain" for a reason! RIP Bobby! 💪
Bobby showing us how to bounce around back and forth, sentence to sentence, arguing against what he just said.
Oh pro wrestlers...😅
About 13 different ppl have told me Andre used to come over to their grandmother's house for dinner back in the day😂
I'd say he went from grandma to grandma until his big ole belly was full. 😂
Bobby “The Brain 🧠“ Heenan = 😂🤣#LOL 😅🤣👏
It was John Goodman Bobby 😂
THANK YOU!😂😂😂😂
Was sat here all confused lol knew that wasn't right
Tom Arnold actually was married to her, though his character Arnie was married to nancy
@@S.T.A.N.D_inspirational yes I know lol
@@marcrapaccuiolo2406maybe Bobby was thinking that Tom Arnold's marriage to Roseanne was a "work" (can you blame him? Wouldn't you pretend the marriage is kayfabe?). 😅
@@kenterminateddq5311 no he said married on the show buy no big deal lol
BOBBY WAS THE BEST!!!
I find it weird that everyone is obsessed with Andre drinking lol
And his farting
LMAO! Great Andre story!
Gorilla Monsoon had customized license plates that said "kayfabe."
Lol No way
Bobby just seems like a guy you wish you knew.
He was named the brain rightly
"What would you have brought him if we asked for a bloddy mary."
That one of the best lines I have ever heard about pro wrestling we never said it's was real ... You ppl said it was fake ... N omg the brain wouldn't even wanna be in the seen with these assholes that are more concerned with tv #'s then the actual wrestling or story telling
Such a sweet wise man.
Weasel lore... This is great
I like the contradiction of ‘heels and baby faces never hung out.. didn’t happen nearly as much as you think’ and then ‘ehh. Probably happened hundreds of times’ when asked about Sheik and Duggan
Would have been a waste of his talent, but Heenan would have made a hell of a lawyer. “We never said it was real, you said it was fake” is a reversal of logic any attorney would have been proud of.
The brain a national treasure. Even if he was a heel.
RIP Bobby Heenan 🙏
Heenan, Cornette, Martel and Heyman. My personal Rushmore for managers in no particular order.
Heenan is the king
Heenan, Cornette, Heyman, and Bearer are my Rushmore.
Heenan , Cornette , Heyman , sensational Shari
Heenan, Cornette, Hart and Heyman.
I never liked Bobby Heenan. Now, after watching these I think I like Bobby Heenan. I'm so glad I watched these.
Andre could drink much more than the average person as on the doc! some people tried to keep up with him but passed out
#RIPBobbyHeenan
#RIPAndreTheGiant
But Tom Arnold WAS married to Rosanne.😂
He meant the other guy John Goodman. Nice catch on your part.
Better if they could have kept kayfabe.
Wrestling is ruined now. It's like an American Idol acting contest.
Used to see them play cards over the curtains at ag hall pa. We knew it was planned and didn’t care. It’s entertainment.
So the question I have is, did Mean Gene say that to crack up the room, or was he sick of having to talk about it?
When we lost the brain we lost a giant in the business
If Andre was drinking all the time on flights, how did he pee? No chance he would get his big ass up to use those little toilets.
Japan is like 10 hours! I can't even imagine him pissing in a bottle in that sitting position.
I have a ton of shoot questions about Andre nobody asks.
He did check my oil once.😮👍
I'm a mechanic , when people I don't know ask me advice I tell them to book an apointment with a mechanic. Why would I give away my hard earned exxpertise?
i think he meant to say a john Goodman
I get the point Bobby is making here. Of course we knew wrestling was fake. But when they stopped, pretending it was real, and started letting us in on the tricks, it lost the magic. It’s like sitting with somebody who’s telling you all the behind the scenes details of every scene in a movie while you’re watching it. Kind of takes away the said magic.
He’s right. If you are honest, people will stop watching and gravitate to another place willing to give them what they want: fantasy.
Too bad Red Bull wasn't invented in Andre's time. Would've been fun seeing her drag out an "Irish Trash Can".
Wait?!?! Wasn't Tom Arnold married to Rosanne?!? 😮
I don’t know how you can call a man flying 20 feet through the air landing his head upon another as fake
Professional wrestling is freaky crazy theatre of muscular, gritty deities/ The audience does find the choreographed poetic violence of the '70s, '80s and '90s era immensely enjoyable/
I don’t know if I believe that story on the plane. If he pulled that stewardess aside to tell her he was drunk, he would’ve been risking the pilot routing because of an intoxicated passenger and it’s possible Andre could’ve even been arrested. Plus, you’re telling me the stewardess handed him an actual screwdriver on an airplane?
Bruce Pritchard told that same story. It's been confirmed by multiple people. Not to mention it was a much different time on top of the fact it was Andre The Giant, wrestlers were like rock stars back then. I'm sure the pilot wouldn't have said a word.
Fun fact: Andre was legit scared of Haku.
"Work and feed his family" what a monster he should be out educating children about tranz issues :)
That seems to be your job since you think about it 24/7.
RF is the worst interviewer ever. You have a rare Bobby the Brain Heenan interview andyou ask him the most stupidest questions and follow up questions
Yeah they suck.
Are his pupils massively dilated?
Who cares....
The business was better. Too bad the money wasn't there yet.
that's why it was better. the guys were forced to earn it.
they got paid less per show but there was way more work to earn a living.
HAAAAA!!!!! ANDRE GOT JOKES!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
