Loss Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Prime Time now has a studio audience. They have submitted questions to Vince to ask Bobby to see if he's really The Brain. Vince is seriously about to crack up at a few Heenan responses and finally stops trying to hide it. This was funny stuff. More of these to come.

shoe Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 This was pretty funny. Heenan is a master of improv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 This Prime Time redesign is a pretty transparent attempt at re-creating TNT, but crossed with The Bobby Heenan Show. I can deal with that. I'm not complaining, but man is "taking potshots at televangelists" one of the longest-running recurring gags in WWF history.

Kevin Ridge Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Bobby is such a natural in these type of segments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I loved the revamp of the PTW. Pick the Brain was a fun segment and Bobby was quick on his feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I prefer Gino and Bobby in the studio, but if they're going to do this type of format, Vince is about the best you can get for a host. He sets them up and the Brain hits them out. Lord Alfred has a cameo at the very end. This reminds me of TNT's "Advice to the Lovelorn" segment. Bobby did one of those in what had to be one of his first national WWF appearances back in 1984. Â I wonder why they changed formats. Was it sagging ratings? A desire to showcase Heenan (among others) in more of an "entertainment"-type setting? Or did Gino ask off for health reasons, and Vince decided that as long as they needed a new host, they might as well try a different format too?

garretta Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 That makes the most sense. Thanks, Mig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 If this HAD to be done, Heenan is the absolute perfect guy to put in there for it. Bobby is such a great, great talent. He could have been a stand-up comedian and excelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
