#2 Gorilla Monsoon & Bobby Heenan commentated on WWE programming between 1986 and 1993
Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan have been the measuring stick for WWE commentators to date. A perfect heel-babyface dynamic, the two always created magic when they appeared. Often unscripted, Heenan supported the heel wrestlers throughout, which made for some entertaining commentating duals between Heenan and Monsoon. The comedy was outstanding and nothing like what we see and hear today.
In a recent edition of Wrestling with History, Ken Resnick spoke with Bill Apter about the duo's first time together, commentating in WWE:
"I don’t know if they had ever even met before, but they bonded. They both recognized (that) they are like cream and sugar in coffee. They just fit. Those lines they came up with on Prime Time (weren’t) rehearsed. I was there. They just played so well off each other, and they were both such tremendous talent in their own right and they just fit. There have been a lot of great broadcasting duos in wrestling over the years to say the least, but in my mind Bobby and Gorilla are at the top of the charts." Ken Resnick said.
