Bobby Heenan. "The Weasel." "Bobby the Brain." Call him what you want, but you'd have to admit that he was an "entertainer." Heenan spent nearly 40 years in the world of pro wrestling. He wasn't your typical wrestler. He wasn't gigantic. He wasn't musclebound. He didn't fly through the air [unless being thrown by the Bruiser or some other good guy].
Fans loved or hated him, but no one was neutral about Bobby Heenan. He could "rassle" with anyone and make them look better. No one could work a crowd like "the Brain." And Bobby Heenan was witty. His one-liners and off-the-cuff comments were at times more entertaining than the matches themselves.
Bobby Heenan has written a book and he "tells all the stories, names all the names and doesn’t care who gets mad about it." Hulk Hogan, Andre "The Giant," and Vince McMahon are just a few of the many colorful characters that Heenan discusses.
Heenan's book is available now [and at a 30% discount]. So call him what you want... Brain... Weasel... Entertainer... but be sure and add author to the list!
Bobby the Brain rates an A

I grew up with Bobby 'the brain' / 'the weasel' Heenan and both HATED and grudgingly liked the guy, not that I admitted the latter.
Turns out, Heenan was a much better actor than any of us gave him credit for. Arn Anderson said he was as funny as any comedian. The excerpts I've read prove as much!
I hope he's doing better these days. Cancer IS the Ultimate Heel!
