In my view the best wrestling character of all time.
When I was a kid I hated him more than any other. I noticed my parents would occasionally giggle at what he said but I didn't get it, I thought he was a low-life.
Years later I appreciate it more. Even at the time he was the main reason why I watched, to see the Weasel embarrassed but looking back in hindsight he was simply the best person in wrestling...ever.

Before my time of wrestling, however back in 2004 when JBL was a top heel I hated him. It wasn;wasn't until after he was gone I realized how good he was.

Loved him, one of the best heel managers and could play off the crowds so well. I loved his announcing work as well he had great chemistry with Gorilla

He's easily the funniest guy I've ever heard on commentary.

He was amazing--he brought energy and excitement to everything he did in the WWF. He was also a great worker, people forget this because he was never on top as a wrestler.

His hatred for Hogan was classic. He played it off so great that he was right about Hogan when he went to the nWo.

I have to track this down but on a shoot video, Heenan was asked "What was the biggest bump you've ever taken?"
To which the Brain replied, "You should've seen my wedding night."

I always thought that if I ever got into wrestling, I would want to be the next Bobby Heenan.

Honestly as a commentator I thought he was overrated and was unfunny to boot.
IMO Jesse Ventura should be the measuring stick for heel commentators.

I think Heenan sometimes was just too funny for his own good and distracted from the story being told in the ring. When you look at other great color commentators like King or Venture or Heyman, they'll make their jokes but when the time comes they know to shut up and let the play-by-play man tell the story.
Still a fantastic manager though. You could stick him with the biggest jobber in the world and he could talk him up like a champ.
