Sportskeeda Remembers: WWE Hall of Famer Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
#3- Bobby's humor was second to none
While Jerry Lawler and Corey Graves make me chuckle, Bobby Heenan would make me guffaw with laughter.
Out of all his quips, my favourite moment is actually from Clash of the Champions XVIII, in which Hulk Hogan was defending his WCW Championship against Ric Flair in the main event (an event which also had a great "Stunning" Steve Austin vs Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat match, as well)..
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Hogan was jumped initially (in what was supposed to be a "recreation" of the backstage attack on US figure skater Nancy Kerrigan) by Brutus Beefcake (who would go on to be known as "The Butcher" and headline Starrcade 1994 against Hogan) , and a somber Tony Schiavone told Heenan that Hogan was being taken to a local medical facility.
To which Heenan replied, completely deadpan, that the town they were in did not have a hospital and so, he was being taken to a pet clinic instead.
RIP Brain. There will never be another like you.
