Heenan also split his time as a manager as well as color commentator teaming with UNNAMED to form one of the most memorable announcing duos in wrestling history.
For 10 years Heenan was a mainstay on WWE television both as a commentator and as a manager, however he left WWE in 1993 and contemplated retiring. However he soon found himself in WCW where he was strictly used as a commentator and found himself oddly as something of a face announcer, siding with WCW against the nWo and continually told people how "right" he was about Hulk Hogan after his heel turn.
Many of the men who have been drafted already have been a part of The Heenan Family at one point or another. The likes of Andre the Giant, Harley Race, Nick Bockwinkel, Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect, Ted DiBiase, and Ric Flair have all been represented by The Brain.

omg this. we used to watch WCW in high school back then and Heenan's subtle digs at Hogan had us howling all the time.
It was to the point that I figured for real Heenan hated Hulk for something that happened IRL b/c he was always giving these subtle jabs outta nowhere.
Guy was hilarious as hell too. Whenever the NWO would come and take over the set he'd be like "see ya later guys it's not safe here" and just take off on them lol
