Hadn't seen or thought about Brain since the 80's so I looked him up when I heard he passed. Wow, he had some tough times and was totally unrecognizable due to the jaw & throat surgeries, quite sad.
I seem to remember him being nicknamed "Pretty Boy" Bobby Heenan. That would have been back in the very early 70's. I do remember him as the manager of Black Jack Mulligan and Lanza. They used to fight against guys like Dick the Bruiser.
Yes, "Pretty Boy" was another of his nicknames, usually when he was actually wrestling. Probably his biggest tag-team was Nick Bockwinkel and Ray "The Crippler" Stevens. They were the Champions for a long time (1970-1976, w/ Heenan from 1974).

Always ahead of his time.
RIP.
Hef is one of the few people who ever lived where the phrase "he's gone to a better place" may not be true.

What a talented bunch of comedians we have. Now, will we start recycling the old Jeffrey Dahmer jokes as we learn about the Cannibal Couple?
