One of the most underated and greatest stable in wrestling history that was a force in 3 wrestling companies in the 70's, 80's and 90's. But dont let the Brain hear you call his FAMILY a stable because he will tell you that they are a family, this is another WATERPROOF bio on THE LEGENDS of wrestling.
THE HEENAN FAMILY
The Heenan Family was a stable of heel wrestlers managed by Bobby "The Brain" Heenan beginning in the 1970s. Heenan managed wrestlers under the Heenan Family name in the American Wrestling Association (AWA), the National Wrestling Alliance's Georgia Championship Wrestling, and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). The term "stable" refers to a group of wrestlers in an ongoing alliance, often under a single manager. Heenan notoriously disliked the term, stating "A stable is a place where you keep a bunch of fly-infested horses," and instead referred to his collective wrestlers as his "family." The name moved with him, and changed members frequently.

Georgia Championship Wrestling (1979)
In GCW, Heenan formed his second version of Heenan Family, where Blackjack Lanza remained in the stable, while Heenan received new members in Masked Superstar,
Killer Karl Kox,
Professor Toru Tanaka
and Ernie Ladd. He also lead this version to numerous title reigns before he was fired by GCW.
Return To AWA (1979-1984)
After his firing from GCW, Heenan returned to AWA, where he reformed Heenan Family with Nick Bockwinkel. The stable got its newest member, Ken Paterain 1982, but Patera left the group in 1983 when Heenan suffered an injury in Japan.

WWF (1984-1993)
Heenan made his debut appearance in the World Wrestling Federation in September 1984, seconding Big JohnStudd to the ring. While Jesse Ventura was originally supposed to be the first member of the WWF version of the Heenan Family, he was forced to retire due to health problems. Studd officially became the first member of the WWF version of the Heenan Family and wasn't long before Patera joined the fold.
The Heenan Family's first target was Andre the Giant, with whom Studd had been embroiled in a bitter feud over who was the true "giant" of wrestling. The Heenan Family scored the first major victory in the feud when Heenan helped instigate a 2-on-1 attack on Andre, an incident that resulted in Studd and Patera cutting Andre's famous locks of hair. Andre regained the upper hand, prompting Heenan to bring King Kong Bundyinto the Family.
Bundy, along with Studd, continued to make life difficult for Andre, who turned to Hulk Hogan and Tony Atlas for assistance. In 1986, as part of a storyline explaining Andre's leave of absence from the WWF (due to health problems and a tour of Japan), the Heenan Family campaigned to have Andre suspended for failing to show for matches against Studd and Bundy, and later to require a lifetime suspension from the WWF if they could prove a masked man competing as the "Giant Machine" was Andre.
In addition to Andre, WWF World Heavyweight Champion Hogan was another frequent target of the Heenan Family. Early on, Heenan turned to Studd, Bundy and Hogan's on-again, off-again friend "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff to win the title from Hogan, but they were all unsuccessful. In early 1987, Heenan appeared to score a major coup for his stable when Andre turned heel and challenged Hogan for the title at WrestleMania III. However, Hogan was also successful in his match against Andre.
After going more than four years without a champion, the Heenan Family got its first title when "Ravishing" Rick Rude(with help from Heenan) upset The Ultimate Warrior to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania V. Shortly thereafter, he led the Brain Busters
(former Horsemen members Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard) to the WWF World Tag Team championship (over Demolition), giving the Heenan Family two champions at one time. Late in 1989, the Colossal Connection
(André and Haku) won the Tag Team Championship, again defeating Demolition. In the spring of 1990, the Heenan Family got its fourth title when "Mr. Perfect"
won a tournament to fill the vacant Intercontinental Championship.
Other wrestlers who were part of the Heenan Family, at one time or another, were The Missing Link, Harley Race, The Islanders (Haku and Tama)
,
Hercules, The Barbarian, Terry Taylor, and The Brooklyn Brawler. Several of them -- most notably Race -- challenged Hogan for the WWF Heavyweight Championship, while others played key roles in various mid-card and main-event storylines

So Flair was never in the Heenan Family? Interesting. Cause he stayed partying with Flair, especially in the WWF days of the last 80s/early 90s.

I dont know if it was hate but Rick Rude always felt he didn't need a manager and he could shine on his own. He didn't want Heenan over shadowing him.
