Bobby Heenan is considered as one of the all-time greats when it comes to pro wrestling managers and commentators. He was also regarded as a comedic genius. Heenan could have been a great in-ring talent, but he chose to become a manager/commentator and left a long-lasting legacy that inspired other broadcast personalities and managers that came after him.
Heenan was one of the most significant figures in professional wrestling history during the 80s and 90s in WWF and WCW. He managed some legendary Superstars like André the Giant, Rick Rude, King Kong Bundy, and Harley Race, among many others.
Heenan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2004.
In 2017, Bobby Heenan passed away at the age of 72 while being surrounded by his family due to complications from his throat cancer condition that had been in remission since 2004.
