    He was awesome. One of the funniest guys ever in the WWF. He had become unrecognizable after his cancer. R.I.P.

    The Pro Wrestling community has a very short life expectancy. I'm sure Bobby had some good memories. RIP, pal.

    Man, I wish it was like it once was. Maybe because I was young, who knows. I'll never forget when they came to town, and got to see so many greats as a kid. Well, the details I may. It was a great lineup, and a cage match. The Rock, and The Undertaker, I think. HBK went against someone.

    This ROH wrestling shit just happened to be randomly on when I walked out. It's actually more entertaining than the new WWF. These dudes are getting actually fcked up, like the old days. They make it look pretty damn rough, and people are actually getting hit. Damn dude legit just got kicked in nuts. How the hell he's moving is beyond me.

    Wow, that's sad. "The Brain" was the best wrestling manager ever hands down. Guy could promote with the best as well. RIP Bobby

    This is terrible...Guy was diagnosed in 2002. Many surgeries and falls breaking multiple body parts (shoulder, hip, leg) and kept fighting his 15 year battle. Love this guy. Sucks

    Bobby "The Brain" Heenan wasn't just a legendary wrestling manager -- he was also INCREDIBLE when it came to throwin' down in the squared circle ... so says Triple H.

    The WWE executive tells TMZ Sports most people don't know about Heenan's wrestling skills -- "He was one of the best in-ring performers there was. He just chose not to do it."

    And why not?
    "He wanted to be a manager. That's what he wanted to do."

    Heenan was obviously damn good at the managing thing -- rising to legendary status managing stars like Andre the Giant, Ravishing Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect and more in his storied career.

    Triple H also says one of his favorite Heenan moments was his 2004 WWE Hall of Fame induction speech -- which Bobby performed without a single scripted note.
