Edit
  • Trivia
    When the WWF (now the WWE) went national, he was teamed with Robert Marella ("Gorilla Monsoon") as hosts and commentators on their television programs. The loose structure of their duties allowed Heenan to demonstrate his ability to do the most outrageous one-liners and ad libs while keeping a completely straight face and remaining in character. The banter between Monsoon and Heenan quickly became as much of the entertainment value as the action in the ring.
