Not many people have ever been able to draw pure heat and hatred towards himself as Heenan was. He was a pioneer, and innovator and an absolute legend. He left a mark that will never be duplicated by anyone.
As mentioned earlier, Heenan was a part of the greatest commentary team in history, with Gorilla Monsoon. Bobby was able to hone in on the fanbase and command them to absolutely detest the sight of his presence. Once nicknamed "the weasel," Heenan was a heel in every sense of the term. However, even being a "bad guy" TV, very few are as loved and adored by his peers as Bobby Heenan was and is today.
In recent years, Bobby has struggled with problems from throat cancer and reconstructive surgery, which has limited his ability to communicate verbally with people. Regardless of what he's battling, he remains strong and just as passionate about wrestling as he's ever been.

About the author
J. Carpenter
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
