Guest Korgath Report post Posted May 13, 2004 Statement #1: You are the best manager of all time. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: True. I’ve done things no other manager has done. I’ve managed in WWE, in the AWA, WWA, WCW, NWA. I was the first manager ever in the NWA in St. Louis. I managed in Japan. I’m the only man ever to manager Andre the Giant. I was in the main event at WrestleMania III in front of 93,000 people. I started as a manager in 1965, and I retired when I got sick. I don’t know of any other wrestling manager who has managed, wrestled and commentated -- for five decades and two centuries. Paul Heyman: False. Bobby Heenan is the best manager of all time. I'm the best General Manager of all time. Statement #2: The lack of male managers is a detriment to the business. Heenan: True. They can be entertaining. Any time you take away something, it’s a minus. Anytime you add anything, it’s a plus. There aren’t anymore male managers, and that’s a negative. Heyman: False. The lack of quality male managers is a detriment to the business. Statement #3: The Heenan Family is the best manager-led stable in wrestling history. Heenan: It’s not a stable. Because a stable is a place where there’s fly-infested horses, and we’re talking about people. So that’s why I called it a family. But true. It was the only family in wrestling history. Kind of like the Bundys in “Married with Children.” Heyman: Both true and false. True if you judge it over time, false if you judge any particular incarnation of the Heenan Family. Statement #4: You are the most outspoken person in wrestling. Heenan: False. I think Vince McMahon is. But he backs up what he says, and he usually has the proof to back it up. I do say things when I should probably bite my tongue sometimes, but that’s just my personality. Heyman: False. And anything else I say will get me fired. Statement #5: You will once again manage a WWE Champion. Heenan: I don’t know about that. I don’t know if I want a schedule where I have to be on the road three or four days a week. I’ll be 60 in November. I’m not sure if I want to be back doing that – standing in lines at airports. Travel is tough. To do something for the company would be fine, and I’m open to anything – I’m a streetwalker – but I don’t know if I’d want to have a regular schedule again. Heyman: Only if I want to. I love shoot comments that aren't supposed to be shoot comments. (TM Scott Keith) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clean rob 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 Pffft. I've seen better True or Falses in people's backyards. You guys giving it ***+ have no standards at all. It's just a shame that this True or False gets so much exposure when ROH are putting out excellent True or False interviews on a weekly basis. Though of course, nothing will ever top the early 90's AJPW True or Falses. We'll never see True or False interviews like those again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYU 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 What's with all the ***+ ratings around here?! Heenan used WAY too many chops as transitions This ToF gets * and likes it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toxxic 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 Notice how Heenan's answers were longer? In my opinion the older man was holding the younger one down, and let's face it, Heyman hasn't got too many years left in him. He should be main-eventing ToFs up and down the country, but as long as this sort of backstage politics goes on he's going to be stuck in the upper-midcard forever. Only a Benoit-like Renaissance can save him now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
