10 Awesome WWE Ideas That Didn't Last
7. The Bobby Heenan Show
Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan was arguably the biggest heel in the then-WWF as the '80s became the '90s. Company stories generally revolved around big babyface stars taking on members of the Heenan Family, with most of the crowd’s anger directed at the Broadcast Journalist they lovingly referred to as a ‘weasel’.
Heenan was a multi-talented media man, and his talents were briefly put to the test in ‘The Bobby Heenan Show’. The programme was essentially a real talk show with real guests, not entirely wrestling-based but with the odd wrestling tinge. It came about after Heenan walked off Primetime Wrestling, getting himself the final 30 minutes of that two-hour broadcast to stick it to Gorilla Monsoon.
Heenan interviewed all sorts in what was seemingly an entirely improvised show, showcasing the incredible talents of The Brain. It was a riot, to say the least. Sadly the show only lasted four episodes, as the ratings didn’t quite match the entertainment value.
