Bobby Heenan

Bobby Heenan is a former professional wrestler, manager and color commentator for both the WWE and WCW.

Despite infrequent participation as a wrestler, Heenan will perhaps be remembered most for being one of the most hated managers in WWE history. From 1984 until his departure from the company in 1993, Heenan managed only heel wrestlers like Jesse Ventura, Andre the Giant, King Kong Bundy, Rick Rude and Mr. Perfect.

In 1986, Heenan became the "heel" (bad guy) commentator alongside Gorilla Monsoon, who in real life was a close friend of Hennan's. By 1991, he became a commentator full-time, and continued providing his trademark one-liners and insults in WCW, where he worked from 1994 to 2000.

In 2002, Heenan announced he was suffering from throat cancer, and has since been recovering from the treatment complications.

Heenan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004.
