The Resume

    (November 1, 1944-September 17, 2017)
    Birth name is Raymond Heenan
    Managed in the WWE and AWA
    Commentator for the WWE and WCW
    Author of 'Bobby The Brain: Wrestling's Bad Boy Tells All' and 'Chair Shots and Other Obstacles: Winning Life's Wrestling Matches'
    Known as 'The Brain'

Why he might be annoying:

    He called the fans 'humanoids.'
    Fans chanted 'Weasel' whenever he was in the ring.
    During his managing days in the 80's, he had a hideous wardrobe.
    He was one of many WWF employees to leave the company for the big money contracts WCW was offering in the late-90's. He admits that it was a mistake and he never should've left.
    As a commentator, he referred to himself as a 'broadcast journalist,' though he never explained what that actually was.
    When he was announcing in WCW, he was calling some pretty bad material and you can easily tell that he was bored and didn't like what he was seeing.
    He was the commentator of a hideous Pay-Per-View for the WOW – Women of Wrestling promotion.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His superb mic work made a valuable asset to any wrestler he managed.
    Since Andre the Giant was in such bad physical condition during his feud with Hulk Hogan, the WWE made Heenan Andre's manager. When the match slowed down, Heenan was able to do something outside the ring to keep the match entertaining.
    He was a riot on commentary and he's considered to be the greatest color commentator of all-time.
    His humor paired up with Gorilla Monsoon's straight-man persona made for what many call the greatest announce team ever in wrestling.
    His first book was a surprise hit and was put into multiple printings.
    He has throat cancer, which has taken its toll on his voice.
    He was the first recipient of PWI's Manager of the Year award and he won the award a total 4 times, more than anybody else in the history of the magazine.
    He's ranked #77 on Total Wrestling Magazine's 100 Greatest Heels of All-Time.
    He's in the Wrestling-Observer Hall of Fame and WWE Hall of Fame.
