    Whether he was Leaping Lanny or The Genius, Lanny Poffo was one of my favorites and I didn't know he was Macho Man's brother until I saw that Savage's real name was Randall Poffo

      Yeah totally ridiculous saying he was the most handsome guy 🙄 he must have seen hell of a lot of ugly men of he thinks that is handsome. He just mentioned Steamboat not long before it ffs I think he was in that category. Eadie doesn't even belong in the question

      Maybe when he was young? I see some photos where he looks somewhat ruggedly handsome. Some people just look better in person than in photographs.
