#6 The Real World's Champion/that's not fair to Flair!

Ric Flair

While Bobby had wound his managerial career down by late 1991, there was one talent that could bring him back to action as a special advisor, and it brought some of the WWF's best TV of the era.

Fans buzzed with anticipation as Heenan began to hype that Ric Flair, who Bobby described as "The Real World's Champion" would soon be coming to the WWF. When he did, The Brain acted as his "advisor", adding Mr. Perfect to do the ringside work while Heenan was on commentary.

This led to some of Bobby's best mic work as the biased announcer, always putting Flair over strong and whenever things didn't go his way yelling "That's not fair to Flair...". This was most notable at the 1992 Royal Rumble where Ric Flair joined the fray at #3, yet went on to win it all.

While Flair had a mixed run, he had the perfect mouthpiece in Bobby, who upped his game to work with Naitch.
