Skelemania Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Bobby Heenan should get into social media. He would be hilarious in text the same as he was audibly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Heenan really evoked memories of Roger Ebert in that photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Seeing Bobby Heenan like that is so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillThompson Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I look at it differently. I see a lot of sick old people in my line of work, and the majority of them have given up. Heenan clearly hasn't, sure it sucks that he's having to deal with all of this, but his spirits still seem to be high and he's still getting the most he can out of life. That, to me, isn't sad, rather it's pretty damn uplifting. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm surprised no one has posted a screen cap of Arn and Rey toasting at the Hall of Fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, to me, isn't sad, rather it's pretty damn uplifting. I obviously hadn't looked at it like that. I had just seen it as being incredibly sad that someone as sharp tongued as Heenan is now unable to speak. I could have made the joke that I meant it was sad that Heenan was posing with Adam Pearce.

The Nature Boy Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 The saddest thing is that Bobby Heenan has been virtually unavailable to make guest appearances on WWE TV. It's sad to imagine what Heenan could've done as a RAW guest host or even a guest commentator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 The saddest thing is that Bobby Heenan has been virtually unavailable to make guest appearances on WWE TV. It's sad to imagine what Heenan could've done as a RAW guest host or even a guest commentator. I would totally listen to Heenan doing commentary over old matches on the Network or giving thoughts on dvd documentaries. That's something he could do off-camera if he can still speak.

cool arrow Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I don't think he can, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I don't think he can, though. Well that's the worst news I've heard all day. I thought the jaw thing was cosmetic and that he could at least talk. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libs Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Unfortunately, according to Jim Ross, Heenan can barely speak. He's mentally all there, but he can only whisper a word or two and have it be understandable, apparently. Someone getting him involved with social media (ie Twitter) somehow could be a great option though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 It would almost be worth bringing back the laptop GM gimmick just so Heenan could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 i'm sure there's a company that's willing to be paid to use Heenan audio from the WWE archives in a way similar to the people who made the Ebert voice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
