I was online last night and was getting invited by someone under the nickname 'Gorilla Monsoon' into a chat room. Seeing that name reminded me of the double act of the late Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan.
As I mentioned yesterday - Heenan is currently in a coma after undergoing surgery to repair his jaw. I think today should be a day where we remind ourselves of the Heenan and Monsoon commentary team that was the funniest pairing in all of wrestling.
Here are a number of their exchanges:
-Heenan: Did you say hello to Tatanka?
Monsoon: Yes.
Heenan: Did you do it properly?
Monsoon: Yes.
Heenan: You said 'Hey-how-are-ya, Hey-how-are-ya' ?
-Monsoon: Wherever the Undertaker goes, there's that eerie smell of formaldehyde.
Heenan: I thought that was your cologne. You buy that cheap stuff all the time just so you can get a free comb.
-Heenan: Do you know what Koko B. Ware's mother's real name is?
Monsoon: What?
Heenan: Tupper.
-Heenan: How many kids did Stu and Helen Hart have?
Monsoon: Twelve.
Heenan: Oh, one of each.
-Heenan: You know why there were only 220 Mexicans at the Alamo?
Monsoon: Why?
Heenan: They only had one car.
-Heenan: Right here in Jim Louis Arena.
Monsoon: Joe Louis Arena!
Heenan: Joe Louis, sorry.
Monsoon: Who is Jim Louis?
Heenan: Who is Joe Louis?
There was also the memorable quotes that Heenan would say which prompted and exasperated Monsoon to plead 'Will you stop!?'
