He wasn&#8217;t your typical wrestler. He wasn&#8217;t gigantic. He wasn&#8217;t musclebound. He didn&#8217;t fly through the air [unless being thrown by Dick <em>the Bruiser<\/em> or some other good guy].<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fans loved or hated him, but no one was neutral about Bobby Heenan. He could &#8220;rassle&#8221; anyone and make them look better. No one could work a crowd like <em>&#8220;the Brain.&#8221; <\/em>And Bobby Heenan was witty. His one-liners and off-the-cuff comments were at times more entertaining than the matches themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bobby Heenan wrote a book where he &#8220;tells all the stories, names all the names and doesn\u2019t care who gets mad about it.&#8221; Hulk Hogan, Andre <em>The Giant<\/em>\u00a0and Vince McMahon are just a few of the many colorful characters that Heenan discusses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: arial; text-align: justify;\">Heenan&#8217;s book, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/405yinz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bobby the Brain: Wrestling&#8217;s Bad Boy Tells All<\/a> is available now.
