In September 1984, Heenan came out during an AWA interview with the Fabulous Ones and initiated a kayfabe brawl in the TV studio with them. Toward the end of his time in the AWA, he managed Masa Saito.

Patera later joined forces with Adnan Al-Kaissie when Heenan took some time off, a result of a serious neck injury he suffered in a match with Atsushi Onita while wrestling on an All Japan Pro Wrestling tour in 1983. Heenan also managed Ken Patera following his return to the AWA in 1982.

He returned in late 1979 and resumed managing Nick Bockwinkel to renewed championship success, including against a young up-and-coming challenger named Hulk Hogan in 1983. In early 1979, Heenan left the AWA to work in the National Wrestling Alliance's Georgia Championship Wrestling group (the kayfabe reason for his departure being given as a one-year suspension from the AWA). While Bockwinkel was AWA champion, in 1976, Lanza and Duncum captured the AWA World tag team title, making Heenan the first manager in history to simultaneously manage both a major promotion's singles and tag team World champions. In 1975, with Heenan in his corner, Bockwinkel captured his first of several AWA World titles, ending the seven-year reign of perennial champion Verne Gagne. The AWA was the starting point for Heenan's first Heenan Family, which consisted of Bockwinkel, Stevens, Bobby Duncum Sr., and Blackjack Lanza. While Bockwinkel and Stevens feuded with The Crusher and Dick the Bruiser, Dick the Bruiser famously called Heenan "Weasel" this led to faces calling Heenan "Weasel" throughout the rest of his wrestling career. He took up managing the team of Nick Bockwinkel and Ray "The Crippler" Stevens, a duo which became several-time AWA World tag team champions under Heenan's leadership. In his first appearance in the AWA in 1974, he announced that he was now to be known as "the Brain". He attributed his departure from the WWA to a dispute with owner Dick the Bruiser over his pay for his participation in the first-ever wrestling event held at Market Square Arena, emphatically stating that he never returned to the promotion as a result. Starting in 1969, he also made occasional appearances in the American Wrestling Association. He also occasionally wrestled with a storyline "brother" Guy Heenan. He later managed the Assassins ( Guy Mitchell & Joe Tomasso), the The Valiant Brothers and The Blackjacks. He initially managed Angelo Poffo and Chris Markoff. In 1967, Heenan became a regular in the Indianapolis-based WWA promotion both as wrestler and manager. World Wrestling Association (Indianapolis) Heenan went on to manage some of the most successful wrestlers in the world, creating " The Heenan Family", a stable that existed in several different incarnations and wrestling promotions for over 20 years. At the time, heels were often given managers to speak for them in interviews, rile up the crowd during matches, and cheat on their behalf. His gimmick over the years has more or less remained the same, a tough talking big mouth who cowered in fear when being physically confronted. Dropping out of school in the eighth grade to support his mother and grandmother, Heenan's first break in the wrestling business was as a heel manager and wrestler in 1965 when he was known as "Pretty Boy" Bobby Heenan. Always a fan of wrestling growing up in Chicago and Indianapolis, Heenan started in the wrestling profession early on, carrying bags and jackets for the wrestlers, and selling refreshments at the events. Heenan was born in Chicago on November 1, 1944.
