Don't cros
Don't cross The Brain

Bobby Heenan and Tony Schiavone formed a really great relationship while working together in WCW. But after Heenan was fired from WCW, it caused a rift in the relationship that lasted for years.

Tony Schiavone revealed on his episode dedicated to Bobby Heenan that he received a call from WCW director Craig Leathers telling him they had made the decision to fire Bobby. Schiavone offered to call and break the news to The Brain but he was informed it had already taken place.

Apparently, Heenan was very upset and threatened to sue. Tony Schiavone said he was told not to call Bobby due to his threat to take legal action. Heenan was furious.

It didn't happen the way Schiavone would have hoped. Thanks to Still Real To Us for the transcription.

"I didn't know it was coming, I didn't call him because Craig told me not to and I should have because we had been very close. And we had been very good friends and we had traveled up and down on the road together. So that was my mistake and I'm sorry for it, I really am and that's why he was angry at me."
