* CreatorBacklash: Later in life, Bobby absolutely refused to discuss Dick the Bruiser on a personal level, and mentioned him as little as possible. Nobody is quite sure why. According to Wrestling/JimCornette, the animosity stemmed from poor payoffs as a manager and mistreatment (although not sexual) when Bobby was a ring boy.

* FriendshipOnTheSet: Heenan and Wrestling/GorillaMonsoon were very close. Heenan noted that a lot of the material they did together was improvised. Their chemistry together was just that strong. When Heenan went to WCW, Monsoon and Heenan cried together in the hallway of their hotel. After Monsoon died, Heenan received permission to honor his friend on live television despite working for the opposition during a very bitter wrestling war. During his induction into the Hall of Fame, Heenan remarked that he wished Monsoon was there.
