PTW was my favorite wrestling show. Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby the brain Heenan were a platinum team. A distant second was Jim Ross and Jerry Lawyer. I had the good fortune of meeting Bobby Heenan here in Houston at a Comicpalooza before he passed. Still brings a tear to my eye

I've come to the conclusion that PTW is the finest of all the WWF library.. You can put them on back to back to back and just get lost in nostalgia... Gorilla and Bobby's presentation is as good as it gets but also the various in-match commentary is amazing too. It's not too over the top. Timeless perfection

@h.josephharrison3238 10 месяцев назад

Fondest memory of mine from my youth, in regards to wrestling. Used to watch PTW with my grandmother, who was a huge wrestling fan and who got me into it. Monsoon and Heenan were/are the best ever...great chemistry and comedic timing. No one could ever touch them. Miss those days and Bobby and Gorilla

@mrkipling2201 4 года назад

Used to watch it just for these two. I was really sad when it ended because it was one of the best things the WWF had ever done.

The great thing about this era (mid 80's-Early 90's) was that Vince wasn't afraid to poke fun @ his own product & that helped make it fun. Somewhere along the line Vince started taking the product too seriously & alot of the fun disappeared because of it.

@gravewax5892 4 года назад

I think Vince became a victim of his own ego. Back then, the territories still existed, and WWE wasn't the monopoly it is now, and well the characters they were bringing in were so dumb, they were laughable at best. So I think that's the biggest difference being honest.

Best period of my life. Whenever things get tough, instead of pharmaceuticals in narcotics I go back to a very good place and I cannot even describe how much better I am thank you for posting this. I knew then I was part of something special. I wish today's wrestling was even 2% this here was. Wrestling many don't realize how bad it is cause week after week it gets worse. Slowly week after week you don't see how bad it got until you watch just one of these episodes here and watch the best WWE had to offer now and it's post opposite. I been so done with WWE, AEW cause not ever gonna be possible.

@markmcdonnell Год назад

PTW with Bobby and Gorilla was THE BEST thing going then and since. Crazy to think that they would not really work today with the internet and the business exposed as much as it has been since like 1995 onwards. Makes me a little sad that we'll never see anything like this again. But at the same time I'm so happy I got to live through the 87-91 era. I checked out of WWF after WrestleMania 10 and made my way back at the end of 1999 (so I miss out on the prime Attitude era).

@alexmeyers3244 11 месяцев назад

I wanted to chime in as a professional editor who has worked on talk shows on why things are different now with talent (1 hour 23 minutes in)- digital media is SO SO much easier to manipulate and edit, it changed the equation of who can actually be onscreen talent and how the process works. Just look at the amount of cuts in any talk show now versus back in the 70s or 80s. There’s absolutely no doubt that onscreen talent is still able to perform above what any average person can muster. But digital editing has become part of the toolset which means more room for mistakes and more room for outside producers to control what makes it to air. It’s not necessarily a good or bad thing, it just changes the equation and the feel of what we see.

@toma.4808 6 лет назад

Rod trongard: the voice of the AWA, underrated talent. Worked in the wwe briefly. RIP. As for the Brain and Gorilla? Wrestlings greatest tagteam. The highlight of many wwe programs.

For folks to young to have seen them, they are on the WWE network Prim Time Wrestling. And i do not work for them lol, they are certainly very entertaining for Pro wrassling fans. With hats off to Bruce that was some of the best TV the WWE has produced. With out a dought with alot of help from the team of the Brain , and Gorilla. Sadly those days are gone the WWE of recent looks more like american gladiators type tv.

@redrumvasquez2823 6 лет назад

david bass I didn't get to watch them on Prime Time because my family didn't get cable until the format changed to have Vince McMahon at the head of the desk with Bobby Heenan and Mr. Perfect on one side and I think Hillbilly Jim and a guest were on the other side. I do have a favorite show with Bobby and Gorilla which is Wrestlemania 8. But whatever show they were on together was gold. R.I.P. Brain and Gorilla

@JDWanko 6 лет назад

On the one hand, in Governor Body's book DON'T START THE REVOLUTION WITHOUT ME!, Jesse says "If you buy a flag, you can burn it." On the other, by the time Sarge starts up the Iraqi gimmick, Jesse is not only gone, he's suing McMahonland for royalties. So who knows if this is a Blunder Love Lie or Meltzer was lied to by da Bod or DM BSed.

@rh8836 5 лет назад

Ventura did not sue Titan sports until December 1991, Slaughter had his Iraqi sympathizer gimmick during his return in 1990. Hogan vs Slaughter for the WWF championship was on March 24th. 1991. So your timeline is not correct and it is absolutely very plausible that Ventura could have suggested it as he was still an on - air talent with WWF during the Wrestlemania 7 build up.
