Lanny was super underrated as an all around performer. The dude was a great worker, his in ring stuff was top notch. He also had a unique persona and a good promo. Dude was the whole package. Going through youtube and watching his old matches is an absolute treat.
Yeah he was an athlete for sure, high flyer when he wanted to but he was small framed and soft spoken in comparison at a time when it was all big men moving up. He definitely was entertaining to watch wrestle, he blew my mind a few times even when I hated baby faces back then, I liked his heal gimmick though, the genius.
I always had a good laugh with Lanny Poffo matches,and I always laughed when Jesse Ventura hated on Poffo calling him a cream puff saying he couldn't punch his way outta a wet paper bag, and saying Lanny's not known for his punching power!! Ventura really goofed on Poffo💪😎🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️
Hogan gets an unfair bad wrap from a large contingent of fans but if you actually listen honestly to the shoot interviews he never really wronged any wrestler. Hogan never hurt anyone in the ring, was always nice to everyone and if you watch his matches he sold very well. Lanny is a genuine dude and him along with people like Tony Atlas actually defend Hogan. Working with Hogan got wrestlers a lot of money, their best paydays. It amazes me how so many so-called fans love this narrative that Hogan was this horrible person who never put anyone over...those idiots do not understand the business at all. Wrestling thrived on Hogan programs and him losing would have destroyed the business but him being on top gave almost every heel and nice run with him and would occasionally lose by DQ or countout like...get this.....every other main eventer with the title
Hogan was the most over wrestler on earth in 02 and 03 after WM 18, and he let himself be made a complete fool of. Tells you all you need to know about the man.
Yeah if you were even close to Hulk back in the day that was huge for your career. I never really knew Lanny until he was The Genius with Mr. Perfect and wrestling Hulk. Hulk helped wrestlers out more than people realized. Lanny got that and understood that
This guy is a model of humility. Didn't go over nearly as much as alot of the guys with half his skill, but is grateful for his tiny bit of time in the limelight. Admits he rides on the coatail of his brother, and is genuinely grateful for hulk, who is brother hated, for losing to him and giving him his time. Say what u want about hulk, it's probably true, and Hogan didn't lose for ppl, especially a mid card heel, so instead of being bitter and jealous and nasty this man appreciates it for what it is. And he deserved it. Wasn't the greatest performer or speaker, but he was certainly good enough to deserve what he was given
Here is the funny part. Lanny Paffo BEAT Hulk Hogan. Randy Savage NEVER BEAT Hulk Hogan. I can only imagine what was going through Randy’s head. “Hulk put my brother over but would never put ME over !”
Lol there was no Internet back then so it isn't like you're talking about anything but a very small circle around you. And by the way, he was employed to be disliked GENIUS 🤣
What a class act Lanny was. Shows appreciation everytime I hear him on here.

One word "humble"

I loved the genius gimmick. I don't see Lanny as hating anyone
Man! At :36 seconds in when Lanny talked like his brother, I thought it was Randy actually talking!
Lanny has the best Macho Man impersonation on the planet. By far.
Lanny has integrity!
Mr Poffo's gratitude is very cool to see!
Macho man said ok. Understood. 👍

Jesus Christ, warn someone about that ending. Jesus, I had my audio up!
🤣
Reminds me of the Mr Bean sketch.
🎵WHOOOOOAAA BODY FORRRRRM BODY FORM FOR YOUUUUUUU!🎵
Lanny should have a reality show .It would be very interesting to watch and I bet they wouldn't have to script a thing.
Poffo's Party Piece Playtime
Class act, God bless you Lanny.=)
My God what a great guy
Lol let's try this.
If you ever caught one of his Frisbees, give a thumbs up LOL
Lanny have you ever faced the Undertaker in his days in the wwe
Undertaker sucks
Class act
Here is the funny part. Lanny Paffo BEAT Hulk Hogan. Randy Savage NEVER BEAT Hulk Hogan. I can only imagine what was going through Randy’s head. “Hulk put my brother over but would never put ME over !”
The real funny part is how wrong you are....Randy did beat Hogan several times by Count-out....
Leaping Lanny Poffo. 👍🏽
Lanny id love a shout out. Im a big fan
Don’t know one person who liked Poffo when he wrestled. Still don’t like him.
Lol there was no Internet back then so it isn't like you're talking about anything but a very small circle around you.
And by the way, he was employed to be disliked GENIUS 🤣
