I was a bigger fan of wrestling during heymans reign as a commentator than when heenan was at the helm which is why I pumped for heyman. More of a casual fan back in the day, didn't really watch wrestling religiously until like 98 but i've seen alot of the older stuff

Both top quality though

No contest --> The Brain.

Heyman is great in this era of no managers, but you can't put him in the same league as Bobby Heenan.

As a commentator, Heenan should be considered the all time greatest IMO. He was never bad, and always was entertaining.

But Heyman is probably better in other areas than Heenan is.

As much as I like Paul E., no one comes close to The Brain when it comes to unmitigated awesomeness. He was the only person I've ever seen play the role of the heel commentator and not be annoying as hell with it (take notes, Lawler) He was absolutely brilliant as an announcer, especially if there was someone like Mike Tenay he could play off of.

Anyways, Heyman's awesome, but Heenan wins by a mile.

What made the then wwf more enjoyable in the early 90's was the duo of heenan and monsoon, if the match was kinda slow heenan and monsoon could play off of each other and just listening to them trade little insults was hilarious. Best commentary team ever imo

Although I do greatly respect Heyman and I do think he is a great commentator I have to go with the Brain.

Maybe just because I have so many memories of matches with Heenan doing commentary. Mr. Perfect vs Bret Hart at SS 92'. "Perfect will be in the showers in ten minutes". And Yokozuna vs Lex Luger, Luger body slammed Yoko in the center of the ring. "Hip lock! Hip lock!" Those 2 always spring to mind for some reason.
