That's no way to treat the mayor of Tacula, Mexico."- Bobby Heenan speaking about a vignette that showed Ted DiBiase berating a homeless Mexican man in front of Tito Santana's childhood home, WWF Prime Time Wrestling, 1991 "Isn't that Tito Santana's sister? Arriba McIntyre?" - Bobby Heenan on Reba McIntyre, WWF's choice to sing the national anthem at WrestleMania VIII, WWF Prime Time Wrestling, 1992 "She's 27 but looks 37."- Sunny on Sable, 1998. 27? Sable was 27 about 27 years ago. "Last night this girl came knocking on my door at midnight. Finally, I let her out."- Gene Okerlund, WWF All-American Wrestling, 1989 "What are you doing, looking at me with one eye and chasing a fly with the other?"- Bobby Heenan to the cross-eyed Jameson, The Bobby Heenan Show, 1989 "You're 83? Really? You don't look it. I would've guessed 81 or 82." -Bobby Heenan to an old woman, The Bobby Heenan Show, 1989 "Look at us! We've reduced ourselves to wearing overalls!"- Jesse James to the Godwinns, WWF Raw, 1998. I love this quote because I was in college at the time, and my friends and I hated it when women wore overalls. "I look like Vince Neil over here."- Kevin Nash when looking into the announcers' booth monitor, WCW Nitro, 1996. We mark out for any and all Motley Crue references. "In the immortal words of Judas Priest, 'You got another thing coming.'"- Jesse James, WWF Raw, 1998 "I'll see you at Beach Brawl, Madusa!" - Missy Hyatt, WCW Main Event, 1992, promoting Beach BLAST, not Beach Brawl. Couldn't they do a second take? Of course not, this was WCW "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go backstage. I'm proud of myself, I just beat Brad Armstrong."- Arn Anderson, WCW Saturday Night, 1992, in the classiest display I've ever seen of someone putting over an underrated mid-carder that everyone in the locker room knew deserved better than the push he got.

Someone please give Booker T a dictionary for Christmas. "ECW Fruit Salad: Peaches with Melons" - ECW Sign Guy, referring to Sandman's wife (Peaches) new breast surgery, ECW house show, 1994. Funniest sign I've ever seen. "He's not particularly ball-hairy."- Steph McMahon on HHH, when asked if he shaves his ball hair, the Howard Stern Show, 2002 "Buy the stock!!"- Bryan Alvarez on WWFE's stock price just before Nitro went to 2 hours, Wrestling Observer Live, late '99/early '00. Ummm, good advice, Bryan. "Anyone who says Ric Flair is washed up as a worker can eat it." - Dave Meltzer reviewing a Flair-Savage PPV match, 1995 "They're pissed at him. They see him as Hulk Hogan's job boy."- Paul Heyman on ECW's chants of "Flair is Dead," 1994 "The NBA Dream Team could kiss our ass." - Paul Heyman on his star-studded Dangerous Alliance, Pro Wrestling Torch Interview, 1992 "Stick the fork in Pork Chop, he's done." - Gorrila Monsoon on several occasions, on jobber Pork Chop Cash. "Win if you can, lose if
you must, but always cheat." - Jesse Ventura on several occasions "You would think we'd
get along. I'm a comic book reader, but I'm also a recovering drug
addict, alcoholic. From the time I was 15 until I was 35 I was out every
night. I couldn't even count the amount of women I've slept with, so you
have to understand the dynamic. I've probably been in a hundred fights
over the years....(Gewirtz) never picked up a weight, never been in a
gym. All these things are important aspects because wrestling is a hyper
evolved, pseudo simulation of war. Fighting over pride, honor all these
elements that are grandiose themes, it's operatic in nature and Brian,
has never been a part of that his whole life. It's not impossible to
write about it, but the intensity is not there." - Raven, No Holds
Barred Radio Show, 2003, proving that in wrestling, you're considered
abnormal if you're sober. "If you put the letter S in front of Hitman, you have my exact opinion of Bret Hart". - Steve Austin, 1997 (thanks to Dynamite Kid Fan) "Hey Tony

front." - Jim Cornette (thanks to OlCarolina Boy) "I respect you, bookerman." - Brian Pillman to Kevin Sullivan (thanks to BobFreemanshow.com) "Well the sk-skeptics
and all the people have a little bit of...I'm sorry, can we do that
again?" "Tommy, try to
understand that I am but a fouled experiment in human sociology, and I
can accept that, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine there
would be other wrestlers taking dives onto concrete floors, committing
human suicide on my behalf--like I'm the patron saint of all sick sons
of bitches.
Is that all I stand for, Tommy? Is that all I stand for, to stand in an
arena where J.T. Smith lands head first on the concrete and hears the
fans yell, 'You ****** up, you ****** up?' Well, **** you. Who the hell
do you think you are? We're not a wrestling organization anymore, we're
the world's biggest damn puppet show."- Mick Foley on Tommy Dreamer, ECW
TV, 1995 (thanks to PeteF3) Mean Gene: "Sherri how
can you say that about a missing person." "I look real good and
feel even better, I make a burlap sack look like a cashmere sweater."
--Rick Rude (thanks to IWarrior) "Turners organization
has no idea how to make a star... All they can do is buy..."- Vince
McMahon, AOL Chat 8/20/98 (thanks to James Guttman) "Talk about a class act,

"You probably like heartburn too."-Monsoon and Heenan, discussing "El Matador" Tito Santana's entrance music (thanks to Justin Newbould) "Remember the old wrestling school saying, what the hell use the bell."-Bobby Heenan during the Piper/Hart match (thanks to Justin Newbould) "I'm Indiana's favorite Bobby."- Bobby Heenan before the first match at WM8 (thanks to Justin Newbould) "I would take that ugly mask right off his ugly face, and break that ugly nose one more ugly time."- Bobby Heenan, when asked what he would to to Virgil (thanks to Justin Newbould) "You would rather cheer for a man who prances around in a feather boa, like a filthy-panced tart."-William Regal on Hulk Hogan, WWF Raw (thanks to Justin Newbould) "Oh come on, Boss Man's mother could have counted that fast."- Bobby Heenan, WrestleMania VII (thanks to Justin Newbould) "When you feel that lump in your throat it won't be emotion, it'll be your liver."-Mick Foley, to Sting (thanks to Justin Newbould) "Your favorite color is rainbow, and you can't even think straight."-John Cena to San Francisco during a house show.

Does that mean one day, 2002 will call and want Edge back? "And there he is, kissing the queen of the Weight Watchers." - Bobby Heenan on Roddy Piper hugging a heavy set female fan, WWF Main Event, FOX, 1992 I've been told point blank by someone who would be considered one of HHH's best friends in the company that he had it out for Jericho from day one. - Dave Meltzer, WrestlingClassics.com message boards, 2003 Vince McMahon is responsible for the company's success and non-success. It all stops with him. But he is listening to the wrong people for direction, and HHH is one of those wrong people, because he buries the ability of people to be in a top position, and thus, Vince doesn't see them in the light where they can draw money. Even though, HHH's money drawing days appear to be over. - Dave Meltzer, WrestlingClassics.com message boards, 2003 "The best worker in the US... and it sure ain't Bret Hart. It's Sabu." - Dave Meltzer, an issue of the Observer from '94 or '95. Wow, Paul Heyman was such a good booker back then that he really had us all fooled. "They say Paul E. has wavy hair. The problem is, it's waving goodbye." - Jim Cornette, Dynamite D's WrestleTalk show, 1991 "When you're not the lead dog, the view
never changes." - Konnan to Kevin Nash (immediately after Nash turned on
him, and laid down for Hogan to win the WCW title). Kevin Nash to
Konnan in response: "He's a natural blonde...I just don't know why he dyed his eyebrows"--Joey Styles on Chris Candido (thanks to Britt Whitmire) "He couldn't draw money if you dipped him in glue and drug him through Fort Knox." - Jim Cornette on Konnan, some kind of shoot in an interview. (thanks to Ronnie Pruitt) "Go get that title off that sawn off midget Chris Jericho." - HHH, WWF Raw, April 2000, or possibly upon his return to WWE last January I'm not really sure (thanks to Chris Gannon) "I never thought I'd have to say this, but weasel your way out if you have to." - Bobby Heenean (on commentary to Ric Flair after Gorrilla noticed that Flair had been in the ring for 45 minutes) Royal Rumble 1992 (thanks to Chris Gannon) "One guy I'd pick right away among a lot of guys, he has the potential of being the most liked individual in the country- Hawk. He could be the biggest babyface ever, the answer to Hogan. He has that likable, lovable quality to him." - Terry Funk in a Torch '92 interview, making me feel happy that he never became WCW booker, and at the time I was hoping he would be "Another jerk is Owen Hart. I'll say that to his face. I know a lot of people are going to read this and if the wrestler himself doesn't read this, it will get back to him." - Konnan in a '94 Torch interview "I used to see him on TV and I used to hate him. I used to think what a good looking fag. I've always hated most guys that are good looking that kind of look feminine because we used to beat those guys up when I was young. They just spend all the time looking at themselves in the mirror. They attract a lot of girls. That was a definite beating up." - Konnan on Brian Pillman, '94 Torch interview. Konnan has horrible luck when picking guys to badmouth. His anti-American comments after 9/11 were in bad taste, too. "Bischoff did tell me one time he didn't know how to market me. That was a few months before I was fired. He told me, 'You know, we've gotta do something with you. You come out there in your black boots and your black trunks an we don't know what to do with you. We can't sell any dolls of that.'" - Steve Austin in a '95 Torch interview "If the Rock hits you, you'll die. If he misses, the wind behind the punch will be so strong, it will give you pneumonia and you'll die anyway." - The Rock, Raw Is War 08/02/99 (thanks to Rockie) "I'm not gonna let a guy like Triple H, a guy that tore his quadriceps... I mean he was out for eight months! I tear my quadriceps all the time! I tore it this morning, I'm fine, I'm here, I'm jumpin' around." -- Kurt Angle, Raw 1/07/02 (thanks to Rockie) "Canada is lacking two things. It's true. Don't make me say it again. The first is Olympic Heroes [...] The second thing that Canada is lacking is Memorial Day, which is today by the way, where we in the States celebrate our war heroes by having barbeques . And I realize here in Canada you can't have barbeques because you'd probably be attacked by a moose, or caribou, or even a grizzly." -- Kurt Angle (thanks to Rockie) "These are people who made Jeff Foxworthy a millionaire. They're not brain surgeons." -- Jerry Lawler on the Alabama crowd on the 3/21/05 edition of Raw

Make no mistake about it, he is, and nobody but nobody can take that away from him. It's good job security when you are going to be a major part of the next decade of this business and Steve Austin is going to be a major part of the next decade." -- Paul Heyman, Pro Wrestling Torch Annual V interview, Summer 1992 "You saw what Mr. Perfect did to Santana.
