Heenan is one of the guys that I didn't fully appreciate growing up. There was a great interview he did right before his throat cancer battle that has since been removed from youtube :( If the guy didn't find his way into wrestling he would have made a great comedian. Just an all around awesome dude that (knock on wood) has beat the odds against throat cancer. Thanks for all the years Bobby, all the best!
He definitely was. He was one of a kind. There'll never be another 'Brain'. Loved watching him and Monsoon go back and forth when I was a kid. They were a legendary comedy duo. My brother and I still quote them. "Will you stop!?"
I miss all three of these guys. All three of them rank among the greatest talkers wrestling has ever known. I miss Piper's insanity, Bobby's wit, and Gene playing the ultimate straight man. I grew up watching the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression era, but although these three were all elder statesmen even then, they're my heroes more than pretty much anyone else. RIP Piper, Brain, and Gene. Good people. You are missed.
Bobby Heenan is by far the best heel commentator / color man EVER!! Plus he was by far the best manager ever. He gave whoever he was managing instant credibility. Which isn't something that is easy to do. I really miss seeing him on TV every week.
Had a chance to meet all 3 of these men in my life time, and was not disappointed. they were all fantastic and had time to talk for a few minutes and sign some stuff for me. all legends in my opinion
Gene was very good Bobby was very very good Piper was very very very good. Heenan used to crack me up. Great one liners everytime I saw him. I loved Bobby and his straight gotchas, loved him and the gorilla back then , perfect match. They fed each other so well. Damn good times.
They were phenomenal and made wrestling so much more entertaining. Gene was great and nobody can compare to him. No manager can compare to Bobby he was funny but sarcastic. Hot rod just pure talent. RIP Bobby, Roddy and Gene
Three amazing and professional performers. It's nice to see them in private as friendly persons who really respected each other. And it's so sad to realize that they are all dead now.
"You never touch a midget, you never know where they've been." - Bobby 'the Brain' Heenan.. Thank you. Thank You, Piper, Flair, and a few others for entertaining me throughout my youth and beyond.
As a kid I always liked the heels. Bobby was the ultimate heel. Bobby made me laugh and still does when I watch his old videos. RIP to all these guys. Thanks for the entertainment guys.
Bobby is such a good fella. I REALLY miss him not being in wrestling. ALL these guys need to come back. Gene should have been JR's sidekick....I like Jerry, but I miss Gene. Roddy was great at the role of an interviewer first that went wild back in the Atlanta days. Thanks for uploading this. It was great to watch. I hope these guys live long happy lives.
When today you realize that not one of them are with us now ... Its really sad I really feel that the good times in pro wrestling is gone. It will never ever be the same again.
Heenan & Piper, my #1 & #2 talkers (in order). Nobody was better or faster than those 2, and the best part is they'd both back up that the other is the quickest they'd ever seen.
Some of the greatest talkers in the history of professional wrestling. No one like em...wrestling is missing passionate talkers, interviewers, managers.
Wait Roddy Piper is Canadian!??? I thought he was from Glasgow!! (As an Englishman who’s been to Glasgow trust me I knew as a kid as soon as he spoke it wasn’t from Glasgow. You would need subtitles to understand some Glaswegians!)
I meant as Heel commentators. When Lawler was always siding with heels he was the best. He's terrible now cause they made Cole the heel play-by-play announcer. I loved Heenen/Monsson duo as well
On the mic, maybe it's close, but Bobby could work in the ring as well as anybody ever but he didn't have an athletic look. Watch stuff from the 70's and even well into his WWF run and his bump skills are in a class by themselves. As a total package it isn't even close, Bobby stands alone at the top of wrestling managers.

Sad to think that all three of these legends are gone now.
Steve W I know :(
Exactly what i just thought when i opened it
I was just gonna comment that. I did get to see all three in house shows and at Wrestlemania 3 in the 80s. My childhood
That didn't hit me until about minute 4. And that shit hit me HARD! 😕
😥

*"REMEMBER ONE THING IN LIFE, A* *FRIEND IN NEED IS A PEST"*
*CLASSIC LINE!*
JR7827 loved it. The Brain philosophy
Bobby always made me laugh. I was never much into the good guys
I remember and still love the line!!!!
A guy at work asked us to help him move, and I said “ a friend in need is a pest”....popped the boys.
Rest in Peace, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. You will be missed.
also mean gene and roddy piper
bobby heenan is such a classy man bless him
He definitely was. He was one of a kind. There'll never be another 'Brain'. Loved watching him and Monsoon go back and forth when I was a kid. They were a legendary comedy duo. My brother and I still quote them. "Will you stop!?"
@@charlescarter4608 Bobby Heenan the defenition of real Talent ! Bobby and Gorilla made WWF fun with their skits and jokes on the mic
Man, 3 legends. We’ve lost all 3 of them now. Unreal. RIP Mean Gene, Bobby The Brain, & Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Wow!
3 amazing men in their profession , and so sad all 3 are gone. yet good we can still see this and enjoy them
Rest In Peace Bobby Heenan. You'll be missed!
That host whether he realises or not was just sitting with gold in human form IMO
of course he realizes it... why do you think he had them as guests on his show?
RedroomStudios Lansberg is a tool
Gene was very good Bobby was very very good Piper was very very very good. Heenan used to crack me up. Great one liners everytime I saw him. I loved Bobby and his straight gotchas, loved him and the gorilla back then , perfect match. They fed each other so well. Damn good times.
dang. bobby the brain. just brilliant! "you shave don't you??? learn to talk!!" so true.
gene oakerlund looks the same as he did in the 80's
THIS WAS IN 1992
YE I WAS WRONG IT WAS 05 CHEERS MATE NICE ONE I JUST CHECKED IT
john chrysostomou yeah, if that was 1992, it wouldn’t make any sense for him to ask them why wrestling isn’t as good as it was in 1999. Lol.
Mean Gene's voice is like warm chocolate in my ears.
oh, and... Roddy Piper has been stabbed 3 times by enraged fans? that is crazy lol
And I was one of those fans.
GOD REST THE SOULS OF THESE THREE LEGENDS.
They were phenomenal and made wrestling so much more entertaining. Gene was great and nobody can compare to him. No manager can compare to Bobby he was funny but sarcastic. Hot rod just pure talent. RIP Bobby, Roddy and Gene
Mean Gene had one of those voices that was just unique. If you heard it, you knew, it was Mean Gene Okerlund.
Can't believe how funny and bright Bobby was. He always makes me laugh
I could listen to Gene talk for hours.
Three absolute legends. RIP to all of them.
Three amazing and professional performers. It's nice to see them in private as friendly persons who really respected each other. And it's so sad to realize that they are all dead now.
"You never touch a midget, you never know where they've been." - Bobby 'the Brain' Heenan.. Thank you.

R.I.P. Rowdy Roddy Piper, Gene Okerlund, and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. You will all be missed!
Bobby Heenan was a real gem RIP
I love all these guy's especially Bobby the brain. Such great performers, when these guy's where in their prime there was nobody better.
RIP all 3 legends.😢😢😢
OMG! HOT ROD,one of wrestling's top 2 heals,and the WEASEL , possibly the best manager ever!!
The best.
Mean Gene was the best voice of the wwe interviews
As a kid I always liked the heels. Bobby was the ultimate heel. Bobby made me laugh and still does when I watch his old videos. RIP to all these guys. Thanks for the entertainment guys.
Bobby is such a good fella. I REALLY miss him not being in wrestling. ALL these guys need to come back. Gene should have been JR's sidekick....I like Jerry, but I miss Gene.

RIP BOBBY YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
RIP Bobby, Gene, and Roddy.... Legends forever
I miss all these guys
RIP Gene Okerlund, Bobby Heenan and Roddy Piper, you guys are truly missed.
Hard to believe how easy it was to take all this talent for granted back then.
Loved watching Bobby the Brain and Rowdy Piper go at each other on WWF Prime Time truly was classic
2018.. watching... These Ambassadors of the Golden Era of WWF.. Mean Gene, Hot Rod and the Brain. I miss Bobby The Brain Heenan..
When today you realize that not one of them are with us now ... Its really sad I really feel that the good times in pro wrestling is gone. It will never ever be the same again.
Rip micheal landsberg :(
Heenan & Piper, my #1 & #2 talkers (in order). Nobody was better or faster than those 2, and the best part is they'd both back up that the other is the quickest they'd ever seen.
Legends, how much we appreciated all their hard work and entertainment.
Mean Gene looks the same as he did in the 70's.
I think he might be a vampire.
+culwin lol.......fuckn' shiit
If he puts out another interview after this comment, I'll buy into that theory. 😁
Rip
Now wresting is so predictable I only comment on it time to time
man I forgot how good the brain was....still as sharp as razor...
They are all gone!! 😥😪😫 RIP to these trio of greats.
Rest In Peace To All 3 Of These Legends.
My boyhood heros.all gone may they all R.I.P.
I was lucky as a kid to grow up when I did. Pro wrestling was so much better when I was a kid and these three were a big reason why.
Bobby Heenan looks good there compared to what he looks like now. Poor guy.
selfie kroos It's a damn shame about his health.
He's lost half his face. Damn.
selfie kroos It's heartbreaking seeing vids of him now, but he's tough as nails. A fighter for sure.
Stop interrupting them!
OhMagnetz Time limit show, ding dong
@Masterr Laster Let 'em take over the show then. Maybe it'll actually be entertaining that way.
Watching this in 2023 and wow all of these guys are so level headed. Legends of the wrestling business RIP.
They just don’t build them like these guys anymore 🐐🐐🐐
Just amazing! RIP to all 3.
All 3 guys are great.......Bobby Heenan 👏👍🙌
I love all three of these guys
Such a Shame that all 3 are now gone, and far too soon. 3 absolute CLASSY legends.
All three of these greats are gone. Part of my childhood still mourns their passing...
2020 just hit me all three of them are dead much love and respect too the hotrod brain and mean gene
Hearing Bobby and Gene talk, you just understand why they were masters at what they did.
Omgosh they're all passed away. So sad.
Yea it is heart breaking.
Not very often is using the word Legend an understatement gotta love all three of these guys
Perfect Heenan @ 21:40! Right when the bumper for credits hits, he sneaks in a jab! Greatest EVER! HEENAN!
This has been really delightful. I totally love this interview 😂❤
Three of my favorite people in wrestling
Rip and God bless all 3 of them. Truly missed
One of the best interviews I've ever seen. Lol I never thought I'd see Mene Gene speaking in his regular voice.
-Don Rubix
please wwe put these dvds available in Australia -& give us the wwe channel PLEASE
Some of the greatest talkers in the history of professional wrestling. No one like em...wrestling is missing passionate talkers, interviewers, managers.
Mean Gene voice is priceless
Without these guys..there is no Saturday nights main event
All dead! Time flies everybody. They were sooooo damn cool and really had an impact on so many kids around the world. Amazing stuff.
2019: all 3 souls are gone. Going to miss them all.
God bless them all for the great entertainment over the years.
Sad that all 3 are passed away. 😕
All three of these guys are legends!!
rest in peace roddy mean gene and bobby the brain miss watching ya on tv. thanks for the memories miss all of you
I keep watching this to hear the three of them together!!!
Wow I've never seen this. I'm psyched to watch! #LEGENDS
The legends, when wrestling was fun to watch. I remember watching little Wally talking with all the big guys.
To see Piper. Bobby. H. & Mean Gean ok. It great to them
I miss them. To all 3 of them
R.I. P.
RIP Bobby and Roddy Piper
3 of the best at what they do 💯🛎🛎🛎🛎🛎🛎🛎🛎🛎
RIP Raymond my friend 🫡
"I see the New York Port Authority had a garage sale!" That's epic!!
"Playing center, from PARTS UNKNOWN!" Heenan is hysterical!
Yes he does, I almost cried during the Ric Flair Hof speech
used to love when jesse would call monsoon "go-rilla"
classic stuff
I miss these guys
Very Funny very Entertaining
Pack of legends.
3 legends, we were spoiled back then and didn't know it.
Wait Roddy Piper is Canadian!??? I thought he was from Glasgow!! (As an Englishman who’s been to Glasgow trust me I knew as a kid as soon as he spoke it wasn’t from Glasgow. You would need subtitles to understand some Glaswegians!)
Can't believe they're all gone. R.I.P. gentlemen.
Rest in peace, to all three of you legends
Hard to believe that all 3 of these stars are gone.
Man Bobby’s quick witted response when Roddy said he had been stabbed 3 times made me laugh 13:13
RIP Roddy
God Bless Mean Gene R.I.P.
Mean Gene Overland, Bobby the Brain Heenan, Rowdy Roddy Piper!! RIP all 3!! Wrestling will never be the same again. Sad....
I meant as Heel commentators. When Lawler was always siding with heels he was the best. He's terrible now cause they made Cole the heel play-by-play announcer.
I loved Heenen/Monsson duo as well
On the mic, maybe it's close, but Bobby could work in the ring as well as anybody ever but he didn't have an athletic look. Watch stuff from the 70's and even well into his WWF run and his bump skills are in a class by themselves. As a total package it isn't even close, Bobby stands alone at the top of wrestling managers.
