Podcasts about The Heenan Family

Get ready for a wild and unapologetically off-the-rails ride on this week's “Kliq This,” as Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver kick things off by pondering one of life's real head-scratchers: ever have a day where you just want to be a small Asian woman getting railed…by yourself? The conversation only gets crazier from there, with Sean offering White Lotus updates and Kev comparing it all to who-knows-what from past pop culture. You'll wonder if the guys have traveled to an alternate universe—or maybe they're just enjoying their front-row seats to the strangest corners of wrestling and TV. Before you know it, Nash and Oliver are dissecting a particularly spiky moment on AEW Dynamite, featuring Moxley, Cope (or maybe Edge—you be the judge), and that now-infamous toilet brush from hell. A little ringworm talk floats by next, because what's a wrestling deep dive without a few nasty tales of unclean mats, questionable promoters, and every other pitfall of life on the road? As Kev always says, you don't truly know pain until you see how nasty things get when half the roster's dealing with ringworm and you're seriously debating whether to walk out before showtime. Looking for more road stories and real talk? Kevin's got you covered on how to survive travel, the subtle art of “regularity” on the road, and why you should never trust the catering in certain promotions. He also dives into behind-the-scenes madness with talent arrivals, bizarre run-ins, and all the million little things that make wrestling shows the glorious cluster they often are. If you've ever thought about bringing your own toilet paper to a gig, congratulations—you and Big Sexy think alike. Of course, it wouldn't be “Kliq This” without the guys hitting you with left-field humor and some big-guy financial chatter. Kevin muses on everything from investment advice to bracket busters, because apparently, a deep dive on Kenyon Martin and the Florida basketball program pairs perfectly with stories about near-death experiences in the ring. Think of it like the perfect storm of wrestling nostalgia, stock tips, and comedic tangents only Nash and Oliver can conjure. By the time they wrap, your head will be spinning with random trivia, locker room memories, and the undeniable, unfiltered chemistry that only happens when The Big Guy and Sean get in front of the mic. Come for the unholy joke about iguana eggs, stay for the inside scoop on how not to get impaled by a spiked brush. If you're looking for that genuine, laugh-so-hard-you-cry vibe with just a touch of backstage scandal, you've found your new favorite hour right here on “Kliq This.” Enjoy the ride…and maybe pack some baby wipes.

In episode 5, we go back to Thursday November 26, 1987 for the start of what would come to be known as the thanksgiving tradition as we take a look back at the very first WWF Survivor Series headlined by The Hulkamaniacs vs The Heenan Family

The Heenan Family was a stable of wrestlers managed by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. Heenan managed wrestlers under the Heenan Family name in the AWA, NWA, and the WWF. Heenan notoriously disliked the term, stating "A stable is a place where you keep a bunch of fly-infested horses," and instead referred to his collective wrestlers as his "family." The name moved with him, and changed members frequently. At one time, the members of the "Heenan Family" posed the greatest threat to Hulkamania during Hogans big push in the 80's.

The big show is at hand and it's quite the visual. The Orndorff vs Hogan feud has gasoline poured on it in an amazing main event. Ricky's first high profile shot at revenge against Jake the Snake and a 6-man tag involving the Heenan Family and the Machines. A new cross promotion toy line and the memories of an arcade classic are all coming at you. Follow us on: Twitter/X  @LegWreObsession Patreon     patreon.com/LegendaryWrestlingObsession

It's been a minute but the Boys are back with a Survivor Series themed episode. When we think of Thanksgiving, we think of teams of five striving to survive! So what better topic to tackle on this turkey week than our favorite teams of all time. Did we go new school with Team NXT? Did we dig deep and pick a Heenan Family team? So many teams to choose from and so little time.    If you're full of turkey and can't stomach any more Survivor Series talk, you are in luck. We dive into other topics like Michigan football, local wrestling shows, Chris still not knowing the difference between Kofi and R-Truth, how poorly eras are labeled in WWE history, what the show on FS1 should be called, our opinions of The Irishman and so much more non-wrestling stuff, I can't believe we are in the wrestling podcast category.   -------------------------------------------- Social Media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram - @20x20pod Email us at 20x20Pod@gmail.com.

A look back at what made The Weasel great, trying to put together a new Heenan Family, and running down the week in wrestling.

A look back at what made The Weasel great, trying to put together a new Heenan Family, and running down the week in wrestling.

The Brain, Weasel, whatever you called him we all agree he was the greatest manager of all time. Bruce and Conrad discuss Bobby getting into the business, the controversy of leaving the AWA for the WWF, managing the Heenan Family, working with Vince, hilarious one-liners, why he stopped managing, how Onita (yes Onita) changed his career forever, why he only managed Flair for a couple weeks, why he left the WWF, why he never came back, and more details on "Bobby Heenan Jr." If you haven't already, check out our video tribute to the Brain at www.Facebook.com/SomethingToWrestle

David Hayes (@davie06) returns to join Captain Jack Heartless (@JackHeartless) LIVE in studio this week. They talk about the mass exodus from WhatCulture, and by extension, WCPW, the ongoing saga of GFW (or is it Impact?) & Anthem, and Jack closes the book on a longstanding issue, with the help of Wrestling Twitter. Most importantly, Dave & the Captain pay respect and say farewell to the greatest manager, and arguably the most well-rounded performer in the history of professional wrestling – the Weasel himself, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. From the Heenan Family to Bockwinkel vs. Gagne to ruining Christmas for kids on Prime Time Wrestling, they cover a plethora of great memories. Goodbye, Bobby. Say hi to Gorilla for us. Sponsored by Heels & Faces (@heelsandfaces). Opening theme by Lemi and the Captain. Closing theme by Ayumi Nakamura (@ayumi_nakamura).

Pro wrestler "The Kingpin" Brian Milonas and referee Mike Crockett take a break from Twitter polls to reflect on one of the greatest wrestling personalities of all time, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, who passed away on September 17th at the age of 72. We cover our favorite Brain memories, his lifelong feud with Hogan, favorite Heenan Family members, Prime Time with Gorilla, being fair to Flair, the most bastardized heel finish of all time that he did first, the art of managing and so much more, so listen up, humanoids! Also in this episode, a fine Merv Griffin Time, an instant Heel Laugh Hall Of Famer gets the nod, and we make our Big Brother finale picks!   Hall Of Fame Inductee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slR7A8LktWQ   Buy the "Curtain Jerker" WPAN t-shirt: http://www.prowrestlingtees.com/related/newageinsiders/the-wpan.html   Follow @TheWPAN, @bda_radio, @BrianMilonas & @crocksox on Twitter. #WPAN   Subscribe to the #NAINetwork wherever you get your podcasts.   Visit BDARadio.com for the most unique commentary on Mixed Martial Arts and Pro Wrestling on the internet.

The Ultimate Warrior, Jim Neidhart, Marty Jannetty & Shawn Michaels vs. Andre the Giant, Bobby Heenan, Arn Anderson & Haku at Survivor Series 1989 is discussed by Jason Mann and Stan Morris.
