Bobby's entire demeanor gives the feeling of honesty.. And it really has a way of drawing you in.. RIP Bobby!
Great guy kayfabe and out
@@effjay8010 GOAT
Bobby doesn't have to lie
Agreed
BULLSHIT.
Bobby was the best. Met him and stayed in touch toward the end of his life. Great guy.
He is the best absolutely
Him and gorilla were gold
Please post positive proof pronto
Pics preferred
Nice to see somebody with a different angle on brody from a business standpoint he’s correct. Although brody definitely didn’t deserve to die from it
Even as a heel, Bobby’s good nature and humanity would peak through. That’s what made him so endearing, even when he was a “villain”. God bless him.
Not only was The Brain one of the all time great managers, he played the heel card to a tee. A brilliant talker and, judging by these fabulous videos, a gentleman of the highest order. What stories!
What a gem of an interview!! I could listen all day to The Brain!!
Heenan was awesome. Made pro wrestling fun to watch.
Brody was great, but Heenan's comment about Brody is logical.
Schultz was a crazy heel.
R.I.P. the Legend
I spit my drink out when he casually said, "PIG".
I could watch these clips for hours. Legend.
My all time favorite manager of any era of wrestling. I say that with all respects to the managers of past and present. Bobby was so ahead of his time and never missed the mark when he knew he needed to take a bump to draw money. Miss you Bobby
God bless you Bobby. You were intelligent, honest, a world class performer without equal.
Wow, when Heenan says you're a good talker, that's real praise.
Yes it is.
He didn’t deserve the fate that befell him. The GOAT. RIP.
I like his honesty. And the insight he provides.
Shout out to all you ham and eggers 💪✌️
"Sizzle-sizzle!" - Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Already said it on one of the other videos, Bobby is probably the one guy in the biz you don't have to second guess any of the answers he gives, 💯% honesty on his end!
I hope this dispels some of the nonsense that everything Bruiser Brody did was great and wonderful.
Dispel something that doesn’t exist? No one thinks that lol
Everyone knows that bruiser Brody was difficult to work with
@@chrisgrudge6964 Brody fans think he could do no wrong.
I bet Bobby and Jim Cornett could talk for years to each other and us.
Big fat guy with a fork cracked me up.
Re: Abdullah the Butcher - "big fat guy with a fork". Now there's a gravestone.
Thanks for uploading these. I can remember RF Video having their own small booth at the Mall of America. I could only afford 2 tapes, so I picked up Best of Jushin Liger, and this shoot interview. Love Bobby, quick, funny and humble
OMG these interviews are priceless. I can't stop laughing about Mr Fuji.
His opening answer was incredibly honest and forthright. Bobby was a true legend.
This is amazing. It's like total honesty without a filter.
Just goes to show that so many of the “heels” were actually really nice guys outside of the ring.
I think for the most part the heels are in reality the nice guys
except Ole, Vinnie Mac, Lesnar
It's interesting to hear Heenan's take/ perspective on wrestlers in the business. I never expected him to dislike or speak negatively of so many wrestlers but I like his honest thoughts. I could listen to Heenan for days.
Jimmy Valiant "Pig"
First harley race and now bobby heenan said the same About bruser brody
Bobby was Such a Incredible Performer an Huge Part of Professional Wrestlings Glory Days.❤️👏👏👏
If Bobby said you were a bad person I 100% believe it.
Brody wasn't a bad person though
Yup. He also said Hogan is a great person. 👍
"Only thing worse than a coward is a coward with power. Gotta kill him in the shower."
@@wa2k99 Apparently he was.
@@childofreason6691 I hear a lot of stories about him throwing his toys out of the pram and intentionally screwing up matches, but it was sad what happened to him.
@@wa2k99agreed- terrific family man and was on top of the world financially from the sport.
That takes smarts n savvy biz acumen.
He was trying to buy the Puerto Rican territory from Gorilla Monsoon when he was killed- rip
I never was a fan of Bobby’s. That was until his illness was disclosed. Now, I miss hearing the wonderful stories he tells and his assessment of the wrestling business as it was just before he passed. Thanks for all the laughs Bobby.
You can tell here in 2002 that his throat problems were starting. God Bless The GOAT Manager
Wasn't this recorded in 2001?

I understand Bobby's negative opinion of Bruiser Brody since he has a bad reputation with promoters.
RIP to Brody though.
I've watched that interview in its entirety and it definitely leaves you wanting more. You could tell that Bobby has a few novels he could tell!! His honesty, you absolutely feel it. I've never been one to go out of my way to meet people(the Sonny from a Bronx Tale mentality- they don't pay your rent so why should you care?) but I regret not trying to meet him years and years ago when he still had a voice and did some signings here and there.
I can believe the part about Brody screwing people over. Look what he did during the cage match with Luger.
I loved that match. Sources claim Luger wasn't scared of Brody, but that fucker scurried out of the cage like a frightened squirrel. It was beautiful.
Thing is, Brody figured he knew how much he was worth as a talent and really was fed up with being screwed over by the bookers in whatever territory he ended up in.
Same thing happened in the Luger match; if you knew you could cash in hard in the next town over but you're stuck in a cage having to sell for some worthless WWF meathead, you'd shut down and expose him, too. I know I would.
That's the first time I've ever heard anyone say anything negative about Bruiser Brody. I wonder if that's because of the way he died.
What Heenan said about Brody was 100% true. People don't like to speak ill of the dead. Brody was notorious for saying he wouldn't wrestle at the last minute unless he got more money. He was known to hide and watch how many people were walking through the door and then demanding more money. Brody was always out for himself and not a team player. The majority of the wrestlers were that way in the 60's, 70's, and 80's but Brody was worse than most. Brody had to be top dog. Brody might be alive today if he could have learned how to lose a match. There are stories that Vince McMahon was willing to take a chance and let Brody come to the WWF in 84 and 85 (hurt the AWA more). Hogan was all for it to make big money. McMahon knew Brody couldn't be trusted (along with other antics) and passed on it. Brody loved the more independent promotions like World Class, Central States, and the AWA. Brody's antics left him nowhere to wrestle for good money in states when the WWF and WCW expanded. Wrestlers like Hogan and Flair knew how to make more money using backstage politics (the pen ) while Brody used strong arm tactics (the sword). The pen will always be mightier than the sword.
I agree with Bobbys assesment of Brody, but i have to add that he didnt deserve what ultimately happened to him
How do you agree? You weren’t there
appreciate heenan's take on Brody. when he was willing to work he was one of the greatest but most of us have seen the matches where he went into business for himself. not only to the other guys are the card suffer if he hurts the business but the fans were cheated out of the money they spent hoping to to see quality matches.
Am I the only one who could listen to Hernan for a week straight? RIP Brain
Smart and genuine...RIP...Weasel 👍
Can't argue w/the Brain on the Brody comment!
Man I love the honesty
“Jimmy Valiant”
…”Pig” 😂
This whole shoot i can tell Bobbys a straight shooter, keeps it short and simple and straight to the point.
R.I.P BOBBY
I heard a couple of interviews about Brody legitimately hurting weekend jobbers in TV matches. Breaking their noses kicking teeth out ect ect. I actually met him inside a hotel where i was attending a X-Mas party in a ballroom and he so happened to be walking by the door to the ballroom and i got to admit he was really nice to me. I told him i was a wrestling fan and he seemed really intrigued.I actually talked to him for at least 10 minutes. Seems there are many conflicting stories about him. And let me add he's as scary looking outside the ring as he was in it
Its Christmas chithead. If u can type the other words full u can that too.
@@mikemcgrath6150 I'm waiting LOSER
@@mikemcgrath6150 *WAITING LOSER*
@@mikemcgrath6150 Hey loser did you hear what i just called you?
These are great clips. Straight shooter. RIP
God I wish Bobby was still around.
I don’t think there will ever be another person in professional wrestling quite like him. A recipe that will always be missing its key ingredient. Should have cloned him back in the late 80s. Lol
Makes more sense why Brody got poked in Puerto Rico
True story. I had a nightmare as a kid that my consciousness had been swapped into King Kong Bundy’s body. I was horrified about being trapped inside this body for the rest of my life. It was very vivid dream and I suppressed the memory and only years later in college did I share this with a couple of my college roommates who roared with laughter about it and I did too lol
I love his honesty & take. The best heel manager of all time.
Brilliant set of interviews. I guess what Bobby didn’t know about wrestling wasn’t worth knowing.
Apparently,Harley Race told Brody not to play politics in Puerto Rico.
As Ive gotten older,Ive learned that,as much as one wants to right what They consider an injustice,its often best not to upset the apple cart and just let things be.
Frank Goodish was a very nice,intelligent,family oriented man,but a good employee does things with the company in mind,even if They personally disagree and He pissed people off when He went into business for Himself...one too many times as it turned out.
That being said,Gonzales shouldve been convicted of 1st degree murder.
By accquitting Him by virtue of self defense,the Jury was saying Gonzales brought the knife into the shower in anticipation of Brody doing something,which is beyond stupid.
If Brody hadnt passed,just imagine the matches He couldve had in ECW and the Japanese death match territories(FMW,W*ING,IWA).He and Cactus Jack/Mick Foley as well as He and Terry Funk wouldve had matches that one could only hope to dupilcate.
I do get his point about Brody messing over the guys on the under-card, but Brody had to look out for #1 first- himself. Brody wasn't going to allow any promoter to shortchange him. The promoter also has the bigger responsibility to protect his business by taking care of ALL his talent. And the guys who did treat him well, he made a fortune for- Fritz, Verne, St. Louis, Japan. And all respected him and he them.
Schultz seems like a guy that if he likes you, he'll be your friend for life. If he doesn't like you, you better find a way to make him like you.
I was heckling him when i was about 15 years old sitting at ringside and he looked at me like he legitimately wanted to murder me
Godspeed
There is a reason you never saw Bobby and Van Morrison in the same room together .
Love hearing Doug Gentrys voice,. Miss him so much.
These one word answers are gold
So why is Abdullah considered a legend? I don't get it.
Everyone from that era is called a "legend" by someone.
Because Abdullah was doing hardcore wrestling way before hardcore became A thing or the name of it.
His description of Dr d is genius! And hilarious!
Brody definitely screwed up the Luger cage match
He knew which Billy Graham you meant, dude.
He played such a dishonest snake on TV, but seems like one of the most honorable men in the business.
Bobby is a top class gent.
And ya the butcher was truly repulsive in every way but he too made a fortune with Brody and that goofy fork gimmick
He & Brody made A fortune because they were absolutely brutal to each other in the ring. The fans loved it.
@@gregorylevi1826 Ck out the 17 minute video of them in Puerto Rico- Butcher couldn’t go very long in a match-11 minutes avg
David Schultz the Original Steve Austin 😂😂😂😂
God broke the mold after he made this guy him and monsoon loved them both
When they said Brody mocked that man over the death of his (child? I forgot, someone close) and he thought he was a big guy and can get away with it:
Well - he learned he couldn't get away with it! I got a family member in the grave because he used his size instead of walking away. Keep respect: you never know if the little rabbit you picking on - got the gun ready to end the fun.
Really had nothing to say about Billy
Not many people do sometimes. He wasn't exactly everybody's friend. The drugs and steroids really messed him up.
@@danc3488 Bobby's thinking for a minute might have said it all.
Quite a few people seem in agreement on Brody in that regards...
Brody was no problem for the promoters he respected. Muchnick never had any qualms about using him. Even a small time promoter like Herb Simmons trusted him explicitly.
Heenan was so talented. I enjoy his interviews but not everyone likes the same people. A lot of fans liked Brody and he was a good family man but he threw his weight around to intimidate and in Puerto Rico that is not just a bad business decision but a bad life decision.
Abby and Brody were awesome to watch, and he low key called SBG a bad worker.
SBG?
@@Spooky_515Superstar Billy Graham
Interesting take on Brody- wonder if he would have managed him if could stay around long enough.
Heenan should have been asked about Warrior.
There is a short of him discussing Warrior

What's his beef with Jimmy Valiant?
They walked out on food and hotel bills.

3:22 That was a work.
Was the 500 grand Stossel got in the lawsuit a work?
@@spanky9676 Yes, part of the work.
😢
is there a full version of he interview?
Brody vs Luger 😂
This was a tough interview for all of the smart marks (oxymoron). 🤣 Truth hurts.
Saw Bobby n Ventura in Oakland in early 80’s? Less than a thousand people maybe there.
Sheiky was on the card as was Hogans’ 1st run.
He was horrible as a wrestler then.
Fun card tho-Sheik with his flag😂😂😂
why are all wrestling interviews called shoots? A shoot is a very specific thing but it seems every single one gets tagged as a shoot interview
I always took it to mean real like a shoot match. Basically the person is not in character and tells the truth according to them. It would be unheard of in the old days when they protected the business. Some guys like Roddy piper and ric flair admitted they had trouble doing those kind of interviews because they were taught for years to not reveal things about the business. So when you see Roddy doing an interview and trying to find the words just remember that it could be because they had to protect the wrestling business back in the old days.
@@darylabrams2 Oh no doubt no doubt but this isn't the 70's or 80's. Everyone has a podcast or YT video now, they aren't shoots anymore. They're just interviews, or chats or whatever know what I mean?
@@Stationary76 yeah I guess the name just carried over. People still say kayfabe and such even though it no longer exists.
The first person I have ever heard say jimmy valiant was not a great guy
Bring him a pale of fish 😂😂😂😭😭😭
Fucking love these
couldnt listen to his stories forever i rember him pulling up in a cab to rosemont horizon and my buddy calling him weasel and him telling us get outta here ya punk a## kids ha it was cool back then as wrestlers came in thru front entrance
One wrong evaluation by Bobby. Abdullah the Butcher was the greatest, most scientific pro wrestler of all time.
Yup. He was also a great high flyer in his younger days as well. He invented the 450
Abdullah more scientific than Tully Blanchard or Bret Hart.
Uh-huh.
@@jonharrison9222 Thanks for agreeing, along with many others.
Bruiser brody. No sold. Lugar in the cage 👋🤣. Lugar kept hitting him and he just stood there. 👋. Video is online
Brody screwed the fans
Bobby worked hard to defend the promoters who were cheating the wrestlers. The guy making $50 a night would make more if the promoters were fair.
Regardless he was right when he said Brody was selfishly screwing everybody on the card
How do you know?
@@Spooky_515 I see both sides of it. Brody was selfish and negligent. But the "you're screwing it up for other guys" is a plantation mentality. The guy who stood up for himself was painted a villian. Thus, the workers stayed content and never stood together and unionized.
@@TL2354 How do you know???
@@Spooky_515 Nope. The promoters were.
Bobby Heenan is all about money
Bobby strikes me as kind of depressed and defeated in this interview.
Brody king
