Bobby Heenan being handcuffed to the barricade in 1990

[fg]

I know this happened during an episode of Wrestling Challenge during 1990. I can only imagine what it was like for that young fan being that close to Bobby for that long as well as for Bobby himself. I am wondering if the fan asked him questions that much like Art Donovan asking Gorilla and Randy questions caused Bobby to think of how he can answer it without breaking kayfabe or anything like that. That fan probably loved heckling Bobby for that long.

Bobby by then probably had plenty of experience handling fans like that and likely kayfabed it, unless this was a plant. I'd imagine a plant would be more trouble than they'd go through with back then, though.

Apparently Monsoon was sick, which is why Vince was doing commentary for that particular show. It would've been hilarious to hear Monsoon's reaction to Heenan being handcuffed to the barricade

Never liked Hercules trying to help him by breaking the cuffs when Slick and Power and Glory came out. Bad continuity considering Heenan tried selling him to Dibiase to be his slave a couple of years before. They at least could've had Herc sell being reluctant about it. It was just another example of the past being ignored once people had the same alignment that I've always hated.

Did Hercules do anything though? Or was it Slick and/or Roma?

I remember reading that Herc did give Bobby a stern look that said “I never forgot what you did to me,”

Yeah Herc didn't seem too torn up about it and gives a half-hearted effort to try and break Heenan out:

At the end, Rude said that this is a bull (bleep). I think that I was Surprised that this allowed to be uttered.

When the Bossman threw the key into the crowd, I wonder if that was something that wouldn’t hurt anyone. Because if a person got hit with a real key or something like that, that would be a lawsuit waiting to happen.

The Big Bossman should be fined, suspended and brought up on criminal charges.

On the Take Tunney saw fit to suspend Rude over some jokes. Rick Rude was cancelled.

Here’s another thing. Rick Rude was suspended over jokes he made towards Boss Man’s mother but somehow Bobby wasn’t suspended.

It also contains the trope I have always hated, with the face finally getting his hands on the heel manager, yet rather than kick his ass while he has the chance, he instead grand stands for the fans trying to build anticipation.
