Bull, if Jerry Lawler gets no crap for siding with Bret Hart once Bret turned heel, there's no reason that Heenan couldn't side with Hogan when Hogan turned heel, especially since Heenan no longer had his Heenan Family stable to feud against Hulk Hogan.
I actually liked Heenan, Tenay & Zbyszko.
People crap on the WCW commentary team but I liked them WAY better than Jerry Lawler at his best (worst). I'm watching the attitude era week by week right now, and Lawler is the most obnoxious idiot I've ever heard. It's no wonder Micheal Cole turned out the way he did, he had King as his mentor.
Personally I think King & JR are an over-rated commentating team. They weren't bad, but I've yet to see any indication that they were GOOD. They were right about on par with Heenan, Tenay & Zbyszko.
I'll agree that Heenan should have been a heel commentator, but even then, Heenan tried several times to infuse some humor into his commentary but no one ever took the bait like Monsoon used to, eventually he really lost his passion, and who can blame him?
Even so WCW commentary wasn't as goddamned annoying as The King at any point in time, or Micheal Cole at his worst.
It's too bad WCW didn't have Jesse Ventura and Bobby Heenan doing commentary together (at least I never saw them together) I think a heel Ventura and face Heenan might have been pretty decent.
My favorite line of commentary ever came from Hogan vs Goldberg for the WCW title, when Heenan starts off with "This place will erupt when he picks him up." The finale to that match was made even better because of Heenan as a face cheering on Bill Goldberg.
