In all seriousness Heenan Family was pretty epic

Wow, I’m really surprised that Jake is the only person who has mentioned the Heenan Family. If we are going to be technical, The Heenan Family originated all the way back to the 1960s when The Brain was managing wrestlers in the AWA, where he managed Bockwinkle, and the Black Jacks. This would later go over into the NWA and finally into the WWE when Heenan recruited Big John Studd to be his first member of the Heenan Family. Originally, it was going to be Jesse “The Body†as his first and go to guy but, we already know the situation where The Body had to retire early due to Health Reasons. Could you imagine if Ventura wasn’t forced to retire? I doubt Hogan would have had such long reigns as champion since Ventura was very vocal and out spoken.
In the mid-1980s, The Heenan Family had some really good wrestlers who were able to produce some great feuds. For Example, The Islanders vs. The British Bulldogs was freaking insane and, Hogan feuded with Members such as Race, Orndorff, Andre The Giant.
In the late 1980s, we saw a young Ravishing Rick Rude and Mr. Perfect become IC champions under Heenan and, Haku and Andre The Giant win the Tag Team titles from Demolition, who were the kings of the Tag Team division at the time. Also very notably, Heenan managed two members of the Four Hoursemen, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard (known as The Brain Busters) who were also WWE Tag Team Champions within the Stable.
