Bobby “The Brain” Heenan, who is widely considered the greatest wrestling manager of all-time, has passed away according to his longtime friend Jim Ross.
The news of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan's passing today gutted me.
I loved our time together.
No one ever did it better than the Wease.

Heenan had been in a long ongoing battle with throat cancer since 2002.
As a little kid I grew up watching 80’s WWF with my dad and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan was always one of our favorites. This is terrible news.
