10 Awesome 90s Wrestling Feuds You Totally Forgot About
2. Big Bossman vs. Bobby Heenan (1990)
It's a real shame that The Ultimate Warrior got to wrestle Bobby Heenan in "Wesel Suit" matches, but that the man who he arguably had a better feud with never got that opportunity. By 1990 The Big Bossman had become one of the WWF's top babyfaces. He had proven himself as a star in a major feuds with Hulk Hogan and Ted DiBiase, so when Bobby Heenan began disparaging Bossman's mother on commentary on Superstars of Wrestling, the average fan had a sense of where this was going. This feud is insanely fun to watch develop. Heenan getting collared by Bossman in the commentary booth is a great moment, as are his matches with The Barbarian at the Royal Rumble, as well as his loss via disqualification to Mr. Perfect for the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania VII. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7u70LifLI8 Proof that a great manager can carry a feud sometimes without even having to take a bump, this one is perpetually entertaining and never gets old.
