11. What A Coward!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsvUNQyWFhw Quote: "Jannetty tried to dive through the window to escape! Did you see that? What an act of cowardice!" Who Said It: Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan Who Received It: Gorilla Monsoon Heel commentating is a dying art, although JBL is making a concerted effort to bring it back. But still, we're a long way from born comedian Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan, who would take the heel's side, no matter how unreasonable. In this classic moment, Shawn Michaels breaks up The Rockers in definitive fashion. First, he delivers Sweet Chin music to Marty Jannetty. Then he throws Jannetty, head first, through a glass window. But of course, that's not the way Heenan saw it. "Are you BLIND?" Gorilla Monsoon yells. We couldn't have put it better ourselves.
