Robert James "Gino" Marella (June 4, 1937 – October 6, 1999), better known by his ring name of Gorilla Monsoon, was an American professional wrestler, play-by-play announcer, and booker. He is famous for his run as one of the great super-heavyweights, and later as the voice of the World Wrestling Federation as announcer and as backstage manager during the 1980s and 1990s, and added on-screen President to his duties in the latter decade. In professional wrestling, the staging area just behind the entrance curtain at an event, a position which Marella established and where he could often be found during WWF shows late in his career, is named the Gorilla Position in his honor.

- Gorilla Monsoon is a former wrestling announcer and inventor of the Griller Monsoon, a product that is so amazingly good at grilling that if I was to describe it the Internet would crash under the weight of superlatives. He came up with the idea of a grill totally on his own. Anyone who says "Yeah, a tough former sportsman comes up with a grill, that's really original" in a sarcastic voice trying to sound all big and clever is really a big stupid head.
