10 Things You Didn't Know About Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

3. The Heenan Family Is A Who's Who Of Wrestling

Forget The Waltons, The Kardashians and The Brady Bunch, the largest family in television history is without a doubt The Heenan Family! Of course, not literally a "family" in the traditional sense of blood relatives, The Brain chose to name his group of wrestlers as a "family" because he felt the term "stable" made no sense. "A stable is where you keep a horse", Heenan quipped in this book. Many members of the family came and went over the years, but the list reads like a who's who of professional wrestling. Are you ready? Here we go: Blackjack Lanza, Blackjack Mulligan Bobby Duncum, Ken Patera, Mr. Saito, Nick Bockwinkel, Ray Stevens, Stan Hansen, Super Destroyer, Austin Idol, Blackjack Lanza, Bobby Jaggers, Ernie Ladd, Karl Kox, Bill Eadie, Professor Toru Tanaka, Ron Bass, Angelo Poffo, Baron von Raschke, Chris Markoff, King Kong Bundy, The Missing Link, Mr. Perfect, Paul Orndorff, Terry Taylor, Rick Rude, Tama, The Barbarian, Jimmy Valiant, Johnny Valiant, Adrian Adonis, André the Giant, The Barbarian, Big John Studd, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Brooklyn Brawler, Buddy Rose, Haku, Harley Race, Hercules, Ken Patera and Ric Flair. All these men at some point benefited from the managerial services of The Brain. I sure hope Heenan didn't have them all over for Thanksgiving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6gjFithIZ8
