Summary: brain cramps for heenen
Review: as much as i liked this book it was TOO short...heenen only wrote about 148 pages some of which was the index.. maybe he will write a more in depth book once he beats his cancer...i was very suprised at how he was very close with gorilla monsoon..watching him as a kid i always thought they hated one another but that couldnt be further from the truth..the same can NOT be said for tony shiavone

Summary: That's why they call him "The Brain"
Review: Being a wrestling fan since I was a young boy, I have to say this book is a GREAT READ. However the only down side to this book is it's TOO short, Bobby's been in the business way too long too to write such a short book, even Chyna and Goldberg who've been in only a few years in wrestling wrote their books with more stuff. Bobby I hope you write a follow up with much more stories, other then that I really recomend it, or as The Brain would do, wait for your friend to buy it and take his.

Summary: Bobby The Brain
Review: Bobby Heenan is one of a handful of true wrestling icons! This book gives a great insiders look at wrestling from the manager's point of view! If your like me and you grew up in the 80's loving to hate the Brain then you have got to read this!

Summary: Could Have Easily Included Some More Stories
Review: Bobby Heenan undoubtedly has been a big part of the Wrestling business. In this biography, Heenan clearly illustrates his role as making others look good. Also demonstrated is his ability to protect the business. At this point, even the remote fans of wrestling must realize that much of this form of Sports Entertainment is an illusion. Nonethelss, Heenan tried to keep that awe of mystery by never appearing in public with the ever popular Hulk Hogan. It is finally realized that Hogan and Heenan were indeed friends. Interesting enough Heenan describes long time Heenan Family member Rick Rude as insecure and out for himself. Definitely some interesting anecdotes about many wrestlers. Somehow more detail is definitely wanted. The background on the Wrestlemania 3 match of Hulk vs Andre was good. But what about the Wrestlemania 2 match Hogan vs Bundy. Not much is said about Paul Orondorf. Interesting how Heenan disliked Haystacks Calhoun so much. Some more insight would have been desired here as well. The Gorilla Monsoon stories are quite touching. But so many other wrestlers were brushed over quite quickly. Lets hope Bobby Heenan recovers completely from his bout with cancer and maybe adds an upgrade to this good but somewhat incomplete account of his life in wrestling.

Summary: Bobby "The Brain" Heenan - WWF/WCW/AWA fans this is a must.
Review: Bobby Heenan was in the the original big three wrestling organizations during each of their peaks. AWA in the early 80's, WWF in the mid 80s to early 90s, and WCW during the late 90s. Throughout the book he details what it was like and several HILARIOUS stories from those days. Among them are stories involving: Ric Flair, Andre The Giant, Harley Race, Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, Jesse Ventura, BlackJack Lanza, Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay, Gorilla Monsoon, Verne Gagne, Mean Gene Okerlund, and many more. The Foreward by Hulk Hogan really says alot about The Brain. The only reason this didn't get five stars is because some of the dates and such are off a bit, but for any wrestling fan or any era that had Bobby Heenan in it, which I guess is every era except this current one, should definitely get this book. Of all of the wrestling books that I have read this one is my favorite.

Summary: A Friend In Need Is a Pest
Review: Bobby Heenan was one of the greatest entertainers to ever appear in wrestling, and here in his own words he relates tales from his time in all of the major feds of the day. This is a very quick and easy read, as The Brain moves from one entertaining story to the next. Not much in terms of straight autobiography here, as the flow is mainly in the stories, which Bobby tells very well. Recommended for wrestling fans from the 70's onward, as younger wrestling fans won't have any idea who a lot of the wrestlers that are mentioned are, while longtime fans will love the stories and memories that Bobby The Brain shares.

Summary: Bobby the Brain
Review: Bobby Heenan. "The Weasel." "Bobby the Brain." Call him what you want, but you'd have to admit that he was an "entertainer." Heenan spent nearly 40 years in the world of pro wrestling. He wasn't your typical wrestler. He wasn't gigantic. He wasn't musclebound. He didn't fly through the air [unless being thrown by the Bruiser or some other good guy]. Fans loved or hated him, but no one was neutral about Bobby Heenan. He could "rassle" with anyone and make them look better. No one could work a crowd like "the Brain." And Bobby Heenan was witty. His one-liners and off-the-cuff comments were at times more entertaining than the matches themselves. Bobby Heenan has written a book and he "tells all the stories, names all the names and doesn't care who gets mad about it." Hulk Hogan, Andre "The Giant," and Vince McMahon are just a few of the many colorful characters that Heenan discusses. Heenan's book is available now. So call him what you want... Brain... Weasel... Entertainer... but be sure and add author to the list!
