I know he was known as "The Brain" but I remember him being known as "Pretty Boy" Bobby Heenan.

He started out right here in Indianapolis in 1965. He didn't become known as "the Brain" till 1974.

I remember him the most as the manager for the Valiant Brothers.

The change came because he left the WWA over a pay dispute with Dick the Bruiser over a event at Market Square Arena

I remember him more from his WWE managing and announcing in the 80s

Jimmy Valiant was one of the great ones.

I thought Bobby the Brain and Gorilla Monsoon were so funny...

Jim Ross and Jerry 'The King" Lawler were awesome..

The announcers slickly sell wrestling to the fans. They're all underrated.

    • Flus had a low tolerance for loafing and not giving full effort, and it’s possible Bradley might not be as demanding.
    • Here's the deal, an NFL QB can't be inaccurate more than 2 or 3 passes per game.  If he's inaccurate with 5 or more passes, even if its placed on a wrong shoulder, he's a first down/drive killer (can't sustain drives).  Not to mention drops or picks.     Dazzling accuracy with 85% of the throws isn't good enough for the NFL.  About 90% to 95% of a QBs passes need to be accurate, IMO.
    • He has almost no experience. He needs the reps and it’s going to be really ugly at times.    Touch and timing. Chemistry with his receivers. Trusting what he sees. All of that will take time and because AR has such limited experience it’ll take a lot of time.    Before the season started I said this isn’t the Colts’ year. That we shouldn’t expect much. I very much stand by that. This is about getting AR ready for the NFL. The biggest issue so far has been the rest of the team not stepping up. Why are people blaming AR when players on their 2nd or 3rd contracts are playing like amateurs? They don’t look prepared. 
    • Its hard to make any kind of judgment after two games.    Just a spitball observation, his throwing motion looks weird.  It's as if his entire body is moving/wiggling when he throws, instead of rotating a shoulder over a steady body and hips, and I don't mean when he's rolling out.   Also, in both games, his plant foot has slipped on two or three different dropbacks when about to throw.  One resulted in a TD to AP, but plant foot issues is a sign of poor lower body discipline.   Basic stuff, IMO.
    • Richardson reminds me a bit of watching some really big, muscular basketball players shooting free throws. They lack the touch to do it well - and look like they may not ever develop that soft touch.   But I don't know whether that analogy really fits or not. And there are no doubt some really big, muscular basketball players who shoot well and have a soft touch.    You could also think about the powerful home run hitter who can hit the ball a mile, but struggles at making consistent contact. He might practice forever at improving this, but will always be a low batting average, high strikeout player.    Just because you keep practicing something - particularly something you've already been practicing a long time - doesn't mean you'll become particularly good at it. But there are also examples of athletes who become much more skilled as their careers progress.   I think I disagree with people who say Richardson will definitely become a star and those who say he definitely won't. There's just no way of knowing if he'll improve enough on things like the ability to consistently throw a soft short-medium pass in the spot where the receiver needs to have it.
