Have Bobby In Your Thoughts

It would be wrong of me to urge people to pray when I never pray myself but I am imploring you to have Bobby Heenan in your thoughts for the next few days.

Heenan was one of the greatest managers and colour commentators in professional wrestling. He was popular in these roles because he was a great talker and it showed as he managed some of the top wrestlers becoming their mouthpiece.

Ironically, it's because of this mouth that we are thinking of him.

Heenan was diagnosed with cancer a number of years ago and lost part of his tongue to beat it. As part of the radiation treatment considerable damage was done to his jaw and that is being repaired today.

Bone from his shin and thigh will be removed in his operation today. This bone will then be used to reconstruct a new jaw. Because this is a serious operation; Heenan will be placed into a coma for a few days following surgery.
