@allan_cheapshot About a year ago, I met a fan called Eddie who said he'd seen Dara vs Thesz at the Royal Albert Hall when he was a child.

@EberhardWonkler @NotThatTomGreen I don't have a meme for that one, I'm sorry.

@IANdrewDiceClay Reading Gorilla's book, Heenans approach with Vince seems very similar to Monsoons. Maybe Gorilla taught him that, I don't know.

@IANdrewDiceClay Yeara ago this would have been his hype video coming into a new promotion.

@ukwrestlingmark @that_october @IANdrewDiceClay I thought he was far from his best as a fan at the time. But now, years later, compared to some recent wrestling announcing, I've heard his sounds superior. It also seems to have aged better than the likes of Styles and Lawler, who were more popular at the time.

[John Bishop @JohnnyB_MC]

@ukwrestlingmark @that_october @IANdrewDiceClay I think comedy genius is an over emphasised part of his work. He could be a good salesman and storyteller like Gene was, when it came to getting things over. But you are completely entitled to your opinion if you like Lawler more.

@ukwrestlingmark @that_october @IANdrewDiceClay I think being in three man booths didn't help and only Tenay put over his stuff.

@that_october @ukwrestlingmark @IANdrewDiceClay It wasn't just about lines. It was his Costanza style weasel tactics.

@ukwrestlingmark @that_october @IANdrewDiceClay Royal Rumble 92 was Heenans finest hour on commentary.

[John Bishop @JohnnyB_MC]

@ukwrestlingmark @that_october @IANdrewDiceClay He was better from 86-93. Largely because he was in top angles and had Gorilla. But in WCW, he was good at selling what was going on. Like the way he put Goldberg over or sold fear for the NWO. He used his real-life neck problems as a reason to fear for his safety from the NWO.

[John Bishop @JohnnyB_MC]

@jeremybarcelo @Hohass_ebooks @IANdrewDiceClay Quite a lot of WCW wrestlers seemed loaded on Nitro occasionally aswell.

[John Bishop @JohnnyB_MC]

@AlmotsGraps He was clearly heavily influenced by Piper which is a good thing.

A member of our wrestling family, Marc Izard, is currently missing after WrestleMania weekend in Las Vegas. His last known sighting was leaving the arena after SmackDown on April 17, his last photo taken was with me at my signing.

Marc traveled from the UK and has not made it home or been in contact since.

If you have any information at all, please reach out to the email listed in the poster as well as @LVMPD.

Let’s come together and help bring Marc home safely. ❤️

@GrappleClips This was better than the HHH v HBK version 3 months later.
