Since 1987, Bobby Heenan had been the manager of "The Eighth Wonder Of The World" Andre The Giant, guiding him through his heel turn and helping him to defeat Hulk Hogan for the WWF World Title in 1988. He famously brokered the deal for him to famously sell it to Ted DiBiase along with guiding Andre and Haku to the WWF Tag Team titles as The Colossal Connection.

At Wrestlemania 6, Andre and Haku battled Demolition for the titles but the outcome didn't go as Heenan expected. Andre found himself "shut out" of the match, when he got himself tied in the ropes, allowing Ax and Smash to pick off Haku and take the titles.

Heenan was livid and repeatedly told Andre audibly on camera "I'm the F***ing Boss" before slapping him full across the face.

Andre responded in kind and paintbrushed Heenan and Haku out of the ring.The fans erupted, finally seeing Heenan bite off more than he could chew and he sold like a champ... even if Andre's blows were a little "off target".

This is up there on the list of "All-Time Wrestlemania Moments" for the unusual use of profanity and for it being the end of one of the most successful manager/wrestler combos of the era. Sadly, Andre never really got the face run he deserved due to his health, but Bobby was able to move on to new talents and pastures with his commentary.
