* RetiredBadass: Although his most famous work was out of the ring rather than in it, Gorilla Monsoon got his start as a dangerous heel and he would occasionally take a moment to remind everyone, to wild cheers, that he used to be a feared man. Part of his chemistry with Bobby Heenan was that, at the end of the day, Heenan was just a shrimpy manager while Monsoon was a 440 pound Manchurian who could [[TalkToTheFist silence him if the Brain got too uppity]], culminating in his literally dragging and tossing Heenan out of the company.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Gorilla and [[Wrestling/{{Raven}} Johnny Polo (Raven)]] called the Wrestling/ShawnMichaels-Wrestling/MartyJannetty cage match from the August 17, 1993 ''WWF Superstars'' taping that was later included on the 2003 ''Bloodbath: Wrestling's Most Incredible Cage Matches'' [=DVD=]. During the match, Gorilla said, "Gorilla don't like cages," and Polo remarked on how many of Monsoon's brethren live in them.
