Ok .. from my previous thread (which hopefully will get locked/deleted) .. as requested, posting this here ... I just hope it doesn't get lost in the midst.
Ok, I really wanted to put this thread up, simply because the Heyman Vs Heenan thread could go on forever, and of course, people are incredibly entitled to their own thoughts and opinions (this is what the forum is all about), but some things are said out of either lack of knowledge or being more aware than the other, in regards to where their preference goes, which I feel has been a BIG case with this whole Bobby Heenan/Paul Heyman situation.
Now, Heyman is without any single hesitation of a doubt one of the BEST things to happen in the wrestling world (Personally, I'd love to see Heyman heavily involved in creative, this would SO spice up the WWE more than ever!) .... however I can't help but feel that those people who are saying that Heyman is above Heenan is a little ludicrous, and I think it comes from lack of knowledge about Heenan and his career, or they simply don't know enough about Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan, and are comparing this against Heyman's work (which is phenomenal!), which then shoots Heenan down, but the truth of the matter is ... Heenan really is the GOAT in that sense, even if you're in no way a fan of Bobby Heenan, saying anything difference in regards to him being something amazingly special within the business, that really can't be touched or compared with is silly.
I LOVE Paul Heyman, I really do (not in the same way he seems to love Punk and Ryback right now though lol), but I just really feel the need to say to people, who may not be aware of Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan enough, say in his WWF/E days (Pre WCW) and even way back before that to SERIOUSLY check out this DVD if you can, then come back and talk about the whole Heyman Vs Heenan situation.
Where as Heyman is obviously very much up there, and definitely in the same circle as Heenan in regards to one of the GOAT's already, there still is something special about Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan that even Paul Heyman can;t really touch, they're both unique in their own way and both probably the top two guys to ever grace this company in that sense.
From what I hear, this Bobby Heenan DVD is on the US Netflix, so if you're in the US here and you have Netflix, search this title ... or if you can, find some other way to watch it, because honestly, it will be one of the best things you could ever have sat and watched, even if Heenan is way before your time .... you will find this DVD incredibly educating, entertaining and vital for wrestling knowledge also.
This isn't a diss to those who are uneducated in regards to Heenan (if he was before your time, it's expected ... or if you haven't looked back at history in WWE, as I do just as much as I watch the current product, then this is totally understandable) ... but seriously, educate yourselves people on bobby Heenan, for those who aren't fully aware in regards to Heenan on a whole, rather than just the gist or bit of his work ... you need to know/see the whole Heenan story, as well as see the full potential that this guy very very clearly had ... and still has to this day (Hall Of Fame speech!).
So yeah, I just wanted to mention this because that whole Heenan Vs Heyman thread could go on forever ... and the majority of the replies in there, that favour Heyman ... seem to be from those who don't seem to be aware of Heenan's work to come up with this (notice I said majority, not all!).
So yeah .. enjoy ... and leave your thoughts if you like!
