Gorilla Monsoon's Cageside Evaluation

What you loved:

1. Great Duo - He had a knack to work well with anyone whether it be Vince, Piper, or Ventura. One of the all-time best duos is Monsoon and Bobby Heenan. They had a perfect back-and-forth with each other and knew how to call big events perfectly.
2. The Best - Many of you gave him the nod as the greatest ever or at least your personal favorite thanks to your childhood memories of him.
3. "Gorilla Position" - On the staging area just behind the curtain, his name will live on forever.
4. Vocabulary - "External occipital protuberance."
5. Catchphrases - "Will you stop!" was among the most popular from you guys. "This place is going bananas!" was a close second.

What you loathed:

1. R.I.P. - "Gorilla will be sadly missed. Now he was one big tough man. He was a decent honest man. And we're all gonna miss him very much. And you know the pearly gates in heaven? It's now gonna be called 'the Gorilla position.' Goodbye, my friend." - Bobby Heenan on Nitro
2. Miscalls - We have to put something negative down here, so he was known to mess up a wrestling move or wrestler's name from time to time.
   

Best comment comes via TJ_UK:

"He sometimes referred to sneak attacks on wrestlers as a "Pearl Harbor Job". That is both very wrong and yet also very hilarious."
