WWE Hall of Famer and legendary heel commentator and manager Bobby "The Brain" Heenan was hospitalized today after taking a fall.
It was brought to attention by longtime colleague and fellow Hall of Famer and backstage interviewer "Mean" Gene Okerlund.
Hey Gang. Just got word that, Bobby Heenan had a spill this morning and will be in the hospital for a few days. Wishing The Brain the best

In 2002, the living legend announced on his website that he was diagnosed with throat cancer, and that he plans on beating it. After having a few reconstructive surgeries to his jaw, Heenan is still alive, and has been seen at wrestling conventions, but still has trouble speaking.
Last time he took a fall in September of 2014, Heenan broke a hip, so hopefully this time around it is just merely procedural.
We wish him a full and speedy recovery.
