Lanny being honest about Dundee's booking was a very respectable thing to do, not what I was expecting at all
Man this interview was over 20 years ago! He and Randy RIP
Great Talent - R.I.P. Lanny Poffo !
Love the way he crush sips his drink....lol
😂 4:49 😂
*_"... because we were dying of stagnation,_*
*_YOU UNDERSTAND!!?"_* 😂 love Lanny's conviction
Lanny was such a Pro..An introvert who learned a lot about the business when the Poffo's had the promotion..I LOVE listening & watching his video's and I'm heartbroken he passed so young..He'll tell you he was an average wrestler & had a below average physique..The truth is is was in excellent shape always & was a FANTASTIC worker who was ADORDED by everyone..
Rip Rogers stated on many livestreams from his channel that Lanny threw the most convincing working punch in the business! They had an awesome feud in Poffo ICW Hair vs Hair Match.. that whole build-up storyline was SPOT ON 📺 gold!!
Indeed he does

Memphis.....
Poffo vs Dundee.....
Wild story
Good lord, I had no idea how much CTE Leaping Lanny must have suffered until I watched this video. God rest his soul. I appreciated his honesty about Dundee and Watts. They had explosive success together.
The Genius beat the Immortal Hulk Hogan on SNME. Remember that!
3:10 Yeah, Lanny... I agree!!
We lost Magnum that night he wrecked his car..
Those pics of his car were awful.. lucky he survived...
Shout out to Tony Falk
Lanny i love ya but jealous of red rooster? 😂😂😂😂 yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa
3:48 Grizzly Smith.....
I heard through wrestlers shoot interviews that Grizzly had a child, a child from a broken home that traveled with him while on the road....
That's Rob Feinstien/Buck Zumhoff/Mel Philips type crap right there....
Grizzly was a piece of dog crap in my opinion, and even in the opinion of his son Jake
Rockin Robin talked about that child in their Dark Side Of The Ring episode
He only ever got work in wrestling as a favor to his father or his brother. He was always a first or second match guy.
There isn't much to say about why he was released from mid-south or any other promotion.
I saw Lanny v Cowboy Bob Orton on some WWF TV show taped in Canada, very good technical chain wrestling and high flying moves, Orton won with superplex but gave Poffo a chance to shine. They would have worked together before most likely for Poffo's dad. Maybe that was all down to Orton's skill but it was certainly a far higher level than anything else I saw from Lanny
@@Jim-Tuner I'd like to explain how *_THE REAL WORLD_* works if you have the time, Sporty.
😂 Jim, you must be new. Randy would've *_NEVER BEEN A WRESTLER PERIOD._* if his father didn't give him the spot.
Kids in HS became the quarterback EVERYDAY because their dad is the coach.
Guys get jobs at GM and FORD because their of relatives.
Nearly 30 percent of all businesses are family run, yet 70 percent of all jobs are filled through nepotism.
So, he got a job due to nepotism.
ANNNNNNND? 😂
It's the American way, Jim.
