therealworldschampion Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 One of my favorite parts of the Flair DVD is Bobby Heenan's commentary during the RR '92 match. He seriously sounded like he was going to have a stroke. In honor of the Brain,I'd like to post some of his more classic quotes. Feel free to add on.... "You know what 'arriba' means?"-Heenan "No, what?"-Gorilla "It means 'Swim faster, the border guards are coming" - Heenan "You ever say hello to Tatanka?"-Heenan "Yes"-Gorilla "Did you do it properly?"-Heenan "Yes"-Gorilla "You mean you went Hey-how-are-you,hey-how-are-you..."-Heenan "You know the state of New York could have them legally condemned"-Heenan about the Bushwhackers and Jameson
JHawk Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 We could probably do these all day. He has a quote in his latest book about how he was doing interviews for the first book and was asked if he'd ever been hit with a chair. His response: "I've been hit with so many chairs that my head smells like ass."
therealworldschampion Posted April 30, 2004 Author Report Posted April 30, 2004 I'm reading his first book right now and one of my favorites in this is when he talked about the angle he was supposed to do with Ken Patera after Patera got out of prison. The "Would you like some Stickybuns? I mean would you like some sticky buns?" line nearly made me spit out my drink.
Youth N Asia Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 On the Bobby Heenan Show. Something along the lines off... Bobby: "So how long have you been married, sir?" Guy: "21 years." Bobby: "Wow. You know if you'd have killed her on your honeymoon and you'd be out by now."
Guest Joe_G Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Go here. I actually contributed to the list a billion years ago.
The Metal Maniac Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Nothing will ever top Heenan proving he's the smartest man in wrestling history... "BUT WHO'S SIDE IS HE ON????"
ISportsFan Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 Nothing will ever top Heenan proving he's the smartest man in wrestling history... "BUT WHO'S SIDE IS HE ON????" He always gets so much crap for that quote, but really it was totally in character. Heenan always mistrusted Hogan's morals and ethics (much like Ventura always did), and would definitely question whether or not Hogan would be selling out to the nWo. Of course, maybe not the best timing for the character to come out, but it was in character I think. Jason
The Amazing Rando Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 ^ that's my stance on... at the time he was probably doing it in character, but I think it should have been built up that way through the match...with them saying "who is the third man? is there a third man? could it be one of our guys? is it one of our guys?! could it be ___, or ____, or _____?" and then have Heenan pipe in with "It's Hogan...he's such a scumbag" and then have the announcers tear him one so that later when it happened Heenan could have looked like the smart one.
The Metal Maniac Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 That's the thing - it was in character, because Heenan didn't know. His character just always hated Hogan. It's still the funniest thing ever, if only for Skee-von-Ai's response.
Youth N Asia Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 That's better then JR being the only one in the friggin world shocked by crap heel turns and run ins.
Placebo Effect Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 and that response was? "Hulk Hogan, you can go to hell," or something to that extent.
Mecha Mummy Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 Just watched a High Energy match, and apparently Koko B. Ware got a haircut... HEENAN: "I'm gonna tell you something about Koko that I don't think you know. MONSOON: "I'm waiting..." HEENAN: "He's not only a client, but he's also the president!"
therealworldschampion Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Posted May 1, 2004 Just watched Bret-Perfect from Summerslam '91 and I got a great one "Know why they're nervous? They snuck in. They're looking for the usher." - Heenan talking about Stu and Helen Hart looking nervous during the match
JHawk Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 To Bob Eucker at WrestleMania IV: "I understand you had 7,000 votes for the Hall of Fame. You'd have had more, but you ran out of stamps."
WhenDanSaysJump Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 and that response was? I think it went something like this... Heenan : But whose side is he on? Schiavone : What? Heenan : WHO'S SIDE IS HE ON? Schiavone : Eh - err- what - are - you ... taaaaaaaaaalking about!
Scroby Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 He always gets so much crap for that quote, but really it was totally in character. Heenan always mistrusted Hogan's morals and ethics (much like Ventura always did), and would definitely question whether or not Hogan would be selling out to the nWo. Of course, maybe not the best timing for the character to come out, but it was in character I think. Jason Charcter wise, Heenan always questioned Hogan. The Brain always hated Hogan so thats why he said that. Reality wise, he knew something was up because he saw Hogan in a limo earlier in the night. I got one "Never touch a midget, you never know where they've been" and also this one "In case you didn't know, the toothbrush was invented in Kentucky. Anyplace else and they would have named the "teethbrush"!
Guest drdrainoscott Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 Wait. They foreshadowed the turn by having Hogan be in a limo? I don't remember that at all.
JHawk Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 Wait. They foreshadowed the turn by having Hogan be in a limo? I don't remember that at all. No. In real life, Heenan had seen Hogan arriving in a limo, and he wasn't scheduled to be there. Anyway, I have another one. Nitro used the Mexican minis for one shot, and while Heenan was told keep himself toned down, he got one great line in on Mascarita Sagrada (IIRC): "When they told him he was going to be here, he said 'I'm so excited, I feel like I'm four feet tall'."
MillenniumMan831 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 In that same match he said "It looked like a riot at a day care center."
Agent_Bond34 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 I think it went something like this... Heenan : But whose side is he on? Schiavone : What? Heenan : WHO'S SIDE IS HE ON? Schiavone : Eh - err- what - are - you ... taaaaaaaaaalking about! IIRC, Dusty was the one that responded. Here's a funny one (or so I think) from that site posted above. (Just before they run a Tito Santana match) Brain: "Did you know that Tito holds a place in the Guinness Book of World Records?" Gorilla: "Yeah, for what?" Brain: "He picked over 1600 heads of lettuce in a half an hour." Gorilla: "Will you stop!" (Match is televised, Tito wins) Gorilla: "Well, it doesn't look like Tito needs to concern himself with lettuce heads anymore." Brain: "Yep - he can move right on to tomatoes."
MillenniumMan831 Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 Danny Davis just beat Koko B Ware w/ brass knucks. Monsoon: Tell me you didnt see that Brain. Brain: I happened to be looking at this bird over here making some noise . . . I got the pin though.
therealworldschampion Posted May 2, 2004 Author Report Posted May 2, 2004 He also had a GREAT line at WM X-7 during the Gimmick Battle Royal Okerlund: "Here comes the Repo Man, he just got my mother last night." Heenan: "Okerlund, EVERYONE'S had your mother"
JHawk Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 During an Outback Jack match: Heenan: "Old Outhouse Jack himself." Monsoon: "Outback Jack." Heenan: "What's Jack short for?" Monsoon: "What do you mean, 'What's Jack short for'?" Heenan: "Jack's short for John, right?" Monsoon: "Yes." Heenan: "I rest my case."
Guest JohnnySwift Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 One of my favorite Heenan quotes was during the Hogan vs. Goldberg match from Nitro when talking about Karl Malone. It goes something like, "...big deal I know his brother Sam Malone from Cheers but you don't hear me bragging about it"
DerangedHermit Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 and that response was? I think it went something like this... Heenan : But whose side is he on? Schiavone : What? Heenan : WHO'S SIDE IS HE ON? Schiavone : Eh - err- what - are - you ... taaaaaaaaaalking about! I think Schiavone also said: "DON'T SAY THAT!"
therealworldschampion Posted May 10, 2004 Author Report Posted May 10, 2004 At This Tuesday In Texas in 1991 Monsoon: "We're about to have a match at a place where a very big fight took place about 150 years ago...." Heenan: "Know why there were only 300 Mexicans at the Alamo?" Monsoon: "No. Why?" Heenan: "They only had one car."
Lil' Bitch Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 Right after Yokozuna won the title and did a Bonzai Drop on Hogan. Little children are crying in the audience! Hulkamania is DEAD!!!
DCMaximo Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 There was a great one just before the Bulldog/Bret match at Summerslam 1992, where Bobby keeps claiming that Diana Hart is ring announcer Mike McGuirk. Also his reasons why Nails got imprisoned was classic. "It was Mother's Day, he went to a shop to get some flowers and he got a parking ticket. He forgot to pay it and they put him in the slammer"
