Vince commentated 47 episodes of Raw that year, so viewers on those nights heard the word, “maneuver” about once every 11 minutes. Wow! This is fascinating for reasons I can’t quite explain.

I’ve written about it before, but whenever I go through a rough patch in life, I turn to Prime Time Wrestling. To those outside of our little hobby/business/sport whatever you want to call it, that has to sound completely bizarre.

I hated Bobby Heenan as a kid. This is probably as controversial and surprising a statement as “Kate Upton has huge boobs” or “bacon is delicious”.
