5. Bobby Heenan Freaks Out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCbZP4LG6Jw Bobby Heenan broke kayfabe and showed a side no wrestling fans had seen before at the Clash of the Champions in 1996. The Weasel lost his temper in a match between Brian Pillman and Eddie Guerrero. The Loose Cannon was knocked to the floor and tried to use The Brain as a shield just before Eddie dived off the top turnbuckle. Heenan was having none of it. Bobby had only recently gone under the knife and had surgery on his neck. Understandably, he didn't want a man with a gimmick as wild as Pillman's messing with him. After leaving the announcers' desk for a short period of time, The Brain returned and apologised for his language. He did the same to Pillman backstage after the show. Pillman also apologised to Bobby, citing he didn't know of Heenan's neck problems, and more specifically that Heenan had been labeled "no-touch" by management because of his injuries.
