therealworldschampion 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JHawk 0 Report post 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." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
therealworldschampion 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ISportsFan 0 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Amazing Rando 0 Report post 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 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JHawk 0 Report post 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'."

(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."
