The news of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan's passing today gutted me. I loved our time together. No one ever did it better than the Weasel.

Opinionated View- When the great baseball player Yogi Berra passed it was pointed out it wasn't that sad because he had lived a long full life. And that is how I feel about Bobby. The man lived a long full life. Its sad for us because we the fans loved Bobby. RIP Brian.
