Former manager and color commentator Bobby “The Brain” Heenan died on Sunday at the age of 73, according to World Wrestling Entertainment. His cause of death was not announced.
Arguably the greatest WWE manager ever, Heenan’s notoriety took off when he formed the “Heenan Family” in the mid-1980s after getting his start in the American Wrestling Association. His stable of wrestlers included the likes of WWE Hall of Famers Rick Rude, King Kong Bundy, Mr. Perfect and Andre the Giant.
Heenan would be alongside Andre the Giant during his famous feud against Hulk Hogan, culminating in their WrestleMania III match where Hogan body slammed the 520-pound behemoth.
