Heenan best calls were: The end of the 1992 Rumble and Goldberg vs. Hogan. "Now that's part 1!! NOW FINISH HIM, THIS IS YOUR CAREER!!!" And if you know the Hogan/Heenan history it makes it so much more awesome. That's why I love Heenan's "But which side isv he on" call, even if it was a botch . It was completely in character for Heenan to distrust Hogan.

Classic call from Gorilla and Jesse: “The irresistible force meeting the immovable object!” “Look at the size of the Giant!”
Made that match.

"THE LEG DROP! HE BEAT ANDRE THE GIANT WITH THAT MOVE!"
Such a stellar call from JR.

Cole did a good job sounding legit outraged when The Authority was abusing their power to screw with Daniel Bryan. I agree. I think during that whole time period, you could really notice Cole trying to do his part getting Bryan over. He was way less generic when calling Bryan's stuff.

"THE LEG DROP! HE BEAT ANDRE THE GIANT WITH THAT MOVE!" Such a stellar call from JR. Also before then, the “Oh my God” when Hogan pointed at Rock after the Hulk up. It made that moment feel important and big.

Out of Kayfabe, Hogan & Heenan had to be pals. No way Hogan would allow all that razzing otherwise lol They were. It was Hogan who pulled for Heenan to go into the WWF I believe.

Another great JR line: “What did I just see?!? WHAT DID I JUST SEE?!?” when Shawn kicked out of the Tombstone at Mania 25, coupled with Taker’s shocked face.
Still think Shawn/Taker was the last Great WWE match.

I know he is hated, especially tonight, so please understand I am not trolling with this. But, as soon as the 1-2-3 is counted to when the show goes off, Michael Cole's reaction to Eddie Guerrero's WWE Title win is my favorite pro wrestling call of all time.

Cole was on his game that night. No question. Heenan at Survivor Series 1993 is up there, in addition to Rumble 1992.

JR during Austin's entrance at Mania 19:
"He had earned a reputation as THE. TOUGHEST. SON OF A BITCH. in WWE!"

Another weird one, but from a match I had been looking for from Smackdown.
Angle had his singlet pulled down and was running around the ring. HHH runs up behind him and smacks Angle on the ass. HARD. LOUD. Cole blurts out "Somebody pull up the man's pants!" in the same cadence as "Someone stop the damn match!"
Corey Graves has immortalized himself with "If you're not excited right now, you better check your pulse!"

Still think Shawn/Taker was the last Great WWE match. I love during the replay of the Tombstone, JR perfectly times out: "Chokeslams, Last Rides, Tombstones...and a KICKOUT, and a KICKOUT, and a KICKOUT!" He says the first "kickout" at the exact same time Michaels kicks out in the replay. It was great. Also, one call I really love for some reason: "Triple H is still the champion! Why!?" - JR at WM 2000. Finally, Cole was never better than MITB 2011. The "Oh My God" when Punk pins Cena was amazing. He wasn't over the top at all. He just had this "...it actually happened." tone and it was perfect.

I’ll tip my hat to Cole on the one night I liked him... his call of Foley’s first title win is epic. For some reason, the line still brings tears to my eyes: “Mankind has achieved his dream and the dreams of everyone who has ever been told ‘you can’t do it!’!”
Sometimes, it can be Shakespeare.
