Awesome job to whomever put it together. I find it funny how their relationship changed from 2 guys having fun, to Gorrilla (on-screen) absolutely hating Heenan.
There's about a dozen or so of these shows on the channel. It's just so laid back and brimming with nostalgia. And I've said it before, but even on their "off" days where they didn't look very enthused, Gorilla and Bobby couldn't help but be entertaining. It's almost like they had no choice--they'd stumble onto something funny as long as they were together.
I know, I loved the fact that Brian and Gorilla were discussing the angles, putting over the talent, putting over the storylines and doing it in such a casual way. They weren't trying to beat you over the head with anything. Just make the wrestling fun.
Heenan and Gorilla were absolute gold. So entertaining to watch. More so than the matches. Man, it brings me back. I'm 34...when I was 7 or 8, this is all I watched. I didn't get a lot of the humor at the time but now it's friggin' priceless. See how easy it is to entertain on a wrestling program? No twitter, no tout, No Michael Cole schilling his ass off. It's easier than you think now, Vince.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad to watch without most the matches, but how DARE they cut "Canada's Greatest Athlete" off the show?
