Speaking of great manager/mouthpieces. I don't know if anyone saw/heard about this over the summer but OMG....My heart aches for Bobby Heenan



I'm going to post a recent picture of him but it's so disturbing that i'll have to spoiler tag it. Has WWE done ANYTHING to help him out recently? Seems a bit of a shame that they'll help anyone so long as they're somewhat photogenic but an old guy like Heenan who's admittedly lived a full life can't get much play. I mean they could show just how terrible cancer is and illustrate it in a way that would make fans see the true face of such a horrible disease.



Spoiler

Are you going to, without any proof, insinuate that they are basing their help, or non-help to former employees based on looks?

Damn dude...that's a pretty bold assertion.

No, I'm saying they're probably not raising awareness about his condition because of his looks at this time. It's not a matter of them not caring about Heenan but rather the nature of showing what's going on and disturbing the heck out of their fanbase.

Let me post the (long) excerpt from an internet radio show that i heard this on. I believe there's some NSFW language (can't remember offhand)

Does anyone know how Bobby feels about being in public now?

I mean he's flipping the guy off in the picture you posted.

Don't know, but apparently he still goes on the convention circuit.

I mean, you literally said they're not helping him because of how he looks:

Like StevenSD said though, from all accounts Heenan is still going out and is cracking jokes at wrestling conventions so it seems like he's in good spirits, all things considered.

Your quote looks like I said that stuff. Let's clarify it was him, not me.

It came out wrong what I mean is help someone in terms of really getting the information out there and fundraising.

Ah well it's a moot point anyways as Heenan is in good spirits and such. It just pains me to see him this way

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Saw a couple of vids on Bobby The Brain a couple months ago, meant to post about how he is now and forgot. It's crazy how he looks now, messed up cause it's taking so much of him but good cause he seems to be in good spirits for the most part and he is fighting like hell.

Couldn't imagine having to go through what he is, have always liked him..one of the best managers and Heel commentators there ever was.


The New Day and Team Bad always have some funny little video on Facebook doing something together.
