Man...I can’t believe “The Genius” is dead.
I pray he knew Jesus.
I loved how he always read those poems...before getting the crap beat out of him.
RIP.
I remember when I saw his brother in Spiderman, I couldn’t believe how juiced he was.
His head looked like it was going to explode.

More falsehoods from the corporate press. No WWE back then. It was the WWF.
I remember a lonnng time ago the one late night when I turned on the TV and wrestling was on. I almost turned it off but this very athletic looking dude was doing flips all over the place.
Pretty funny interview, but with a bad premonition:
Lanny Poffo on Steroid Use & Becoming “Gorgeous George” For His Non-WCW Run

Wow, very ironic when he says it might cost him(self) in the end...
A flaky but likable and honest guy...
RIP
I loved watching pro-wresting back in the 80s. It was great theater. Lanny would always read a poem he had composed before going into the ring.
When Leaping Lanny and Macho Man were wrestling out of Lexington, Ky., mid-south wrestling league, my Aunt made a robe for both of them, Leaping Lanny first and then later for Macho Man. She said both of them were “nice boys” when they weren’t on TV. Leaping Lanny also was an amateur singer and gave her a signed 45. She made Bridal dresses and bridesmaids dresses and somehow she was recommended by someone who had her dress made. This was sometime in the late 70’s early 80’s.
I sat next to him on a plane. One of the nicest people you could meet. He mailed my kids two of his autographed children’s books later that month. Great person. RIP.
Which is actually a real town here in Hellinois, and where he along with his brother Randy (Macho Man) grew up.
I know Downers Grove well, my long term girlfriend lives there. It's a very nice place to live.
