I have the RF Shoot he did back in 2001 (or '02), but it has been uploaded by others before and I believe it got yanked every time. It's a great interview.

Booby "The Brain" Heenan: Legend

these are such rare jewels especially with the timing of Bobby being diagnosed etc. This man was the all time character in history! ! Some genuis points where us fans are so much smarter and alot of spoil alerts

Very good post!! Never heard this interview with bobby !! Thanks!!

I was not a real wrestling fan growing up, watched it a little bit. But Bobby the Brain is the best. I love listening to him.

good stuff, more old interviews like this please

Wow 20 years ago!

What Bobby Heenan said about the insurance is spot on true. I remember reading an article in PWI magazine, where it said, that, Insurance company's really didn't want to insure wrestlers, cos they were to "high risk" in terms of injuries & such. And the company's that employ the wrestlers are like Heenan said, they didn't want to help the talent roster any more than they had to. The article went on to say that, sometimes if a wrestler can REALLY draw money for a company, if they ever are in the hospital, the boss would help flip the bill sometimes. But it was bullshit back then, on how the company's treated the talent back in the day. They seem to forget, without that talent being on the roster, there's not gonna be any ass's in the seats. So yea, Heenan was 100% spot on, with what he said here. Things might be different today, in regards to how they use to be, but it should of been that way, all along, in terms of the company looking out for its talent. As for what Heenan said about the internet, I agree. Its giving pretty much all the secrets of the "trade" away to us fans. Myself, I could care less, how a wrestler bleeds. Or if its scripted or not, or if those chair shots are real or not. Who cares? Speaking for myself, I go to a wrestling event to be entertained, & NOT to know there every little secret. And for those who wanna know, become a wrestler & you'll find out. But at least leave something to the fans imagination. Sadly, thanks to the internet, & some wrestlers with big mouths or ones who have either a grudge or a chip on there shoulder, we as fans, now have nothing left to the imagination. And once again, Heenan is 100% right on that. Is it any wonder, that wrestling is dead? RIP Wrestling. It was a great ride, while it lasted.

Bryan Allen I DONT AGREE WITH YOU ON IT BEING DEAD WHEN WRESTLEMANIA STAYS SELLING OUT STADIUMS EVERY YEAR AND MSG AND THE BARCLAYS IN NYC STILL SELL OUT EVERYTIME THEY GO THERE

+DON PARADISE WWE is alive for now, if you consider that to be pro wrestling. But, every other promotion is pretty much dead.

My favorite manager, and commentator in Wrestling history. When Bobby Heenan was calling a match it didn't even matter if the match was good or not, it would be entertaining just because of his comments a great deal of the time. Bobby "The Brain" is the man, and I most definitely miss having him on the call in matches.

RIP Legend

bobby had just started his chemo at this point. The treatment had started to effect his voice here. It would become more slurred over the next year

9:07 What "brothers" did he say?
