WWE.com
Bobby “The Brain” Heenan – one of the greatest, if not the greatest manager in the history of professional wrestling. While Heenan wasn’t an everyday wrestler – he wasn’t one who ran away from physical contact – well, he tried to. “The Brain” would do whatever it would take to win a match – even if it mean that he’s receive a shot in the mouth from his wrestler’s opponent.
During 1988 The Warrior would face off in a short feud with Hercules – that is where the feud with “The Brain” would start. After the Warrior and Hercules finished their feud in a grudge match at WrestleMania IV – Heenan would be involved in a series of matches across the country against the Warrior.
Now these weren’t just any kind of matches – these were special. The WWE would bring back one of Heenan’s old matches from his days in AWA – A Weasel suit match!
The way the match would work was the winner had to knockout your opponent and stuff them in the suit. It was a full body suit with ears and a tail. They were hilarious matches to watch – The Warrior would throw around Heenan for a few minutes and then put him in a sleeper and into the suit he would go.
The feud would continue with the rest of the Heenan Family – really giving the Warrior a boost to give his character more experience and credibility.
