A dark cloud hovers over the professional wrestling world today, as one of the most beloved characters in history has checked out way too soon. But the memories of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan still live on, proving that even the darkest clouds have silver linings.

Commentator Jim Ross broke the news on his Twitter account today.

"Nobody ever did it better than the Weasel," wrote Ross.

He was entertaining. As I recall, he was pretty quick with the one liners.

In a typical exchange between Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan, Schiavone was talking up the virtues of Ron Simmons during a match involving Simmons:

SCHIAVONE: "Outside of the ring, Ron Simmons devotes a lot of time to community service."

HEENAN: "How many hours does he have to do?"

< I absolutely enjoyed the old WWF. >
I remember when Bruno Sammartino won the champoinship belt. Shows how old I am :) The wrestlers back then were better at making it LOOK real.
