Cocaine did not kill Hennig's gimmick, it killed him. His gimmick was one of the best ever because Curt made it work.
he forced it to talk about cocaine
Perfect!
not so mr perfect was he... so yeah gimmick dead
"I was married at the time so it made no difference at all." That line killed me.
Maybe she would, maybe she wouldn't...only she would know lmao.
My dad knows Lanny, he was spot on when he said it made no difference at all I was married, he had one of those marriages not quite made in heaven, dad said she was a bitch
lukedesade he’s gay...
So true ..tho.
😂😂😂😂😂
He never smoked, never drank, never even took an aspirin but he sure doesn't put his seat belt on.
+Scott Grudziadz
Watch your mouth!
We're YOU ever a professional athlete, out of curiosity?
😠
XD haha I’ve been in vans that don’t have over the shoulder seatbelts but just the ones that go around the waist, so maybe that’s the case here but who knows? Funny comment regardless
guglielmo64, that's a straw man argument if there ever was a straw man argument. You clearly don't pay attention. The topic in question is a shoot interview on a fellow wrestler who abused drugs, not wearing seatbelts. SMH
@Scott Grudziadz still alive though.
@ van ...dont common simple eules apply to ex athletes, out of curiosity?
Respect for speaking the truth, if he saves one sportsman/person like Perfect and Macho from making the same mistake GOD BLESS YOU LANNY FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH, Perfect was one of my hero's as a kid and i was devastated when I heard he died, true legend and tough man of all sports RIP!
“My libido was taking a slump, but I was married at the time so it made absolutely no difference at all.” 😂
Definitely can tell why they made this guy's character, The Genius...
There is a price to pay at the top, many people still use things to get through life and addiction is a curse, RIP Curt he entertained millions of people and will always have great memories of him in the ring.
Wow, well said. Your so right. I had friends that did the same drugs as me and they could take it or leave it. Me I was hooked right away and used for 30 years and recently have been 4 years clean and sober. The curse does not hit everyone.
I love Lanny he’s such a honest guy... He will even tell on himself
Never heard of Lanny, but in this 4 minutes I have huge respect for him. And had no clue he was the Genius, loved the character and Mr. Perfect.
Lanny is Randy Savage aka Macho Man's brother
How did you not recognise that voice??
“My libido was taking a slump, but I was married at the time so it made absolutely no difference at all.”
What a line!
The Mr. Perfect bowling vignette in 1988 was pre taped and the last strike perfect threw was repeated for about the last five frames. Go back and watch the vignette the pins fall in the exact same way each time.
It's amazing to watch these old school wrestlers rip each other apart. Even over stuff that happened 20-30 years ago. If there is one thing to be learned from these old school vets it is that bitterness, jealousy and resentment dominates the profession.
The best shooter ever. Lanny is perfect at articulation.
Lanny is very intelligent & insincere. great vocabulary so he can express his feelings and views that (for others might be taken disrespectfully - ie him saying Coke killed Perfect's gimmick) without coming off with being insulting/condescending.
curt was one of my idols...such a unique in-ring talent and even in his 40's used to make everyone around him look amateur
“I was at the top but I wasn’t going to live there. I was just visiting.” Quite a statement.
GOod path of live maybe seeing how many at this top lost theirs already
1:38 " the dead are dead"... the genius Lanny Poffo
Genius
RIP Lanny, Great guy! Loved listening to him!
It isn't the winners who write the history. It is the ones who live the longest. Lanny Poffo wasn't the best but he was relatively smart for a wrestler and he took good care of himself for a wrestler. He tells the truth as he sees it. He is right about Perfect but he is always self serving.
its hard to believe lanny and savage were brothers.
maziku Really?
Randy was and Lanny is pretty awkward, so yeah.
I never knew that for the longest time either.
Memphis wrestling n ice dayz you be like yeah they are brothers
Even more bizzare: Road Warrior Animal and Johnny 'Ace' Laurenitis
r.I.p. machoking I give my prayers 2wo Lanny poffo and the genius and the rest of his family.
Man I miss macho man. Lanny Poffo.The brother of the Madness ohhhh yeaaaaaa
He should speak more on his bothers drug use.... He should be an expert on that too
+ray jingcock marijuana too
Ceasar Blackman lol
lanny poffo he speaks the truth i always liked this guy from way back in the days when he wrestled in grand prix wrestling in the maritimes canada
+kenterminatedbygoogle Lanny did that for his mom's sake.
+Larry Medina me too
yes good old grand prix mister ma cluck cluch killer karl krup lol
Curt Hennig was a class act, and a legit Perfect wrestler. RIP.
he should be on the radio I think his kids like to listen to him,,,,, he reminds me of a friend
another shoot with lanny poffo would be great.i can listen to him all day long.who is the young guy in the back ? his son ?
He may have been into drugs but Mr perfect is the best wrestler ever and his theme tune my fave of all time
mrnaughtycat I agree
Poffo was great as the genius.
He seemed to never get a break, unlike randy.
Cant Lie,i used to love the whole Genius character back in the day...
Lanny Poffo made it work for sure.
Fully agree.
***** Still think he's being wasted?
He's just about the most over guy (beside Daniel Brian) so whatever. That's your opinion. I think it's the best thing that has (or probably will) happen to him.
He made the perfect line.
😂😂🤣🤣 Yes he did. Best cut line in history
Lanny is a great storyteller. I always liked him
Poffo was so funny as the genius.
I just assumed every wrestler back then were coke fiends. Especially lannys brother.
Ohhhh Yeahhh DIGIT!
Oh yeah just watch Honky tonk Man's interview. It's called on the road. He tells alot of things that happened back then . Very interesting
The Poffo brothers had such unique voices wtf wonder what their dad and mom sounded like lol
Great Point about drugs.
He always was a funny guy. Loved him early on with the frisbees.
It wasnt so much the bashing his drug use that annoyed me as much as continuously calling him “Mr Perfect” in a condescending way. Ok he used cocaine...never heard of him harassing other ppl,beating his wife,unpleasant to work with or anything negative so why is this even a topic and for him to pass judgment at that. Weak. Rip Curt 🙏🏾
👍
exactly
that guy @ 1:56: "Speaking about cocaine... can you pass me that mirror please..." :D
Remember The Genius beat Hulk Hogan clean 👊
ACtually it wasnt clean. Ot was by count out. And if I remember correctly , there was a lot of interference by Mr Perfect. Still, the fact that Hogan allowed Lanny to beat him in ANY way was shocking.
Lanny smartened up Regis Philbin, even though Fred Blassie did the trick in the 50s or so probably with the San Diego affiliate. Surprising Regis would have a mark reaction about the bowling to Lanny
Lanny Poffo tells the best stories
Being an avid bowler myself, I know it's hard for anyone pro or not to shoot 300 at will, and it was harder even in the early 90s because there still weren't synthetic lanes and resin bowling balls available in most places, which has made the game easier. So, it would've been hard for Curt to be "perfect", although everyone says he was very good at many different sports. RIP Curt.
Kenny North being an avid blower
I used to bowl a lot as a kid, and virtually everything you said is true. It’s very rare that anyone who bowls can get 300 clean back then!
What??? Lol
His was a great loss. Lanny Poffo was an honest and genuine man.
R.I.P Lanny and Curt Henning two legends that will never be forgottened. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊🕊
@femscouttf2scouttf241 Lanny's death really surprised me and bummed me out. He was one of the survivors
It's amazing to see these guys out of character after all these years. Back then you never saw them out of -character.
God. I remember clear as day being a teenager who watched Leapin' Lanny Poffo go to jacked in like six months. It was pretty easy to figure out what he was on in between.
Mr. Perfect died from blow and The Genius will probably die from blowing himself. Lol
Lol
@@markn3936 😹😹
@@markn3936 perfect
😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀 I'm dead
Hahahahaha
He defeated hulk Hogan on Saturday nights main event as the genius. He got good heat as a heel but never really over as a face. I remember Terry funk suppressing him out of the ring and remember thinking he was gonna be crippled cuz back then that didn't happen too much, then he got branded, thought funk was a crazy sob n scared shirtless but I was also 8
I love Lanny I hope I can meet him in Michigan someday.
Lanny, I enjoyed your work in the 1980s.
Please get back on the Gazelle.
Poffo is a man of integrity.
its good to hear the truth. glad Lanny is still around.
Lanny always keeps it Real
cocaine didnt kill his gimmick, it just killed him.
Lanny seemed like a good dude. RIP sir
Lannys promos were awesome
I wonder how Macho Man would feel about this if he were alive, he and Henning were good friends, Macho even got into music and dedicated a song to him "my perfect friend." Lanny is pretty harsh here considering.
you know lanny and macho are brothers right? so if it is true, it's kind of hard to get upset about it
Michael Klein Yeah I know they're brothers, that's why I found it so odd. Macho sounded very defensive of Henning (he said he'd never perfect the song "my perfect friend" live because if anyone heckled it he'd have to attack that person) so I imagine he wouldn't like his brother speaking so harshly about him.
true, but you will always let your brother get away with more than a random person. Especially if it is true. Besides Lanny was only trying to give advice so others wouldn't follow the same path as Curt.
So this explains a lot. Starts taking steroids and gets a championship match. Stops taking steroids and is almost immediately turned into a manager.
For the longest time I had never known that Lanny was Randy’s brother they look nothing alike.
I beg to differ.
True savage was small in height
When he grew the hair and the beard he did
Lanny toots his horn a little much
Hey, if I could toot and blow my own cock, then I'd never leave the house.
For somebody who wasn't popular he is pretty cocky
The Dude 😂
@@robertelliott968 How is he cocky? He admitted that his huge muscles were dependent upon steroids and that he wasn't destined to remain at the top forever. Intelligence and eloquence are not indicative of egomania.
Well Lanny has a point he isn't wrong about drugs in general........
Now we know why they called Lenny the genious, and he was
I always like Lanny
Never even took an aspirin until he became The Genius? LOL, ok.
Lol yeah, i have taken many an asprin in my Lifetime and i am nowhere near a Genius
R.I.P. Lanny Poffo.
TRUE STORY: I Met Curt 48 hours before his death, I was high on Coke, so I'm guessing so was he.
Yes, because since you were, he must have been...
Curt was a behind closed doors user. Nobody knew he was doing anything
Great guy Lanny Poffo.
This guy is a Genius
He passes Johnsons drug store while he is talking bout his manhood on drugs.. Damn just damn
Rip perfect. Legendary
funny at 4:08 as he's talking about drugs, he passes a drug store that is visible from his car window.
Great observation.
+TwitterYouFace and of course it's named Johnson as he is talking bout his Johnson
pete saws, So, what is he supposed to do;get out of the car and hide the drug store in the closet?I could just see the conversation, as I journey baaaack, waaaaaaaaaay baaaaaaack in time(to 1988).The conversation would go like this(as memory cloud cues):
Lanny:"Excuse me, but please don't build that rite aid over there. In 30 years, I'm going to live stream past it as I talk about drug use. And, I don't want pete saws to think I'm a hypocrite."
Foreman:" OMG!!Did you just say Pete saws?!"
Lanny"Yep. That guy. "
Foreman:"Oh noooo!! Anyone but Pete saws!!"
Lanny:"You better not build it then."
Foreman:"Thank you sir!You saved my life from a comment by pete saws!"
Lanny:"You're welcome good sir."
Foreman:"Lets hope we never draw the wrath of pete saws, the almighty."
Lanny:"Yes.pete saws' awesomeness knows no limit!!!"
Foreman:"ALL HAIL pete saws!!!!!!!"
Lanny:ALL HAIL pete saws!!!!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣(YOU'RE A DEUCHE )!!
@@stephenmichaelstm8512 a swing and a miss.
@@stephenmichaelstm8512 lol, just stumbled upon this comment. It's called irony. Now, go nitpick somewhere else.
He did tell the truth
Mr. Perfect didn't o.d. from coke, he dropped it in the snow, and drowned!
Well said re: Cocaine
lmao i could listen to this guy talk anytime
On another video Lanny, you said you didn't have any clue Curt was on Coke. You said you were shocked when you found out it was Acute Cocaine Intox. Which way round is it?
He also said he wouldn't allow Macho Man to be inducted into the WWE HOF unless his father Angelo and him were also inducted as per Randy's wishes since the Von Erich Family were inducted as a group but Lanny caved into to that as well. Likely due to the payoff he got from WWE.
THE HANNIBAL TV Money talks huh. Don't get me wrong I like Lanny and listening to his stories. But Curt was a hard selfless worker and he deserves a fair reflection from folks who knew and worked with him.
That's why i don't believe the Macho Man/Steph rumor. Why would Vince pay lots of cash to a family member of a guy who had a sexual relationship with his underage daughter
😂 oh Poffo.... you are the genius 🤓😎
Met Lanny poffo and his father at 21 century health spa monroe st toledo ohio 1975.
Could he do the perfect line?
Lanny is talking sense here. Drugs ruin anyone.
Lenny looks better now than he ever did. So did alundra blaze during their inauguration
I ran into Lanny and Paul Orndorff in 1983 OKC Oklahoma. Lanny was just a normal guy with slightly bigger legs than normal. Paul Orndorff on the other hand was jacked and looked like he wanted to slap the shit outta everybody!
That line I was married at the time so it .made absolutely no difference at all was funny as shit!!!! Especially how he says it straight faced, like it was no big deal!!! Oh yeah!!!!!!!
Well it isnt as he says its his ex wife so all heat is either there anyqay or solved, so Yeah no big Deal, no pans to the head at home.
Lanny poffo was the man because of big brother Randy savage
True
It's depressing thst this guy is the closest thing we have left of Macho Man Randy Savage...
Don't do it Curt, it's a horrible drug, it will ruin your life".
CURT: I think I wanna try me some of that there...cuckayne!
Poffo telling Curt story.
Great voice on mr poffo. Throw me a frisbee!!!
Lenny poffo thank you.
Lenny seems like spirit of a PUG!!!
After this I just bought an 8 ball
Wow. He admitted to his ignorance in taking steroids. He took Deca without any testosterone base which will obviously cause testicular atrophy along with a crash in libido. His muscles were all gone because he did not took any post cycle therapy support. I am surprised he made such a beginner mistake with all the more experienced steroid users that were around him to give him advice, including his own brother Macho Man. Unless of course he was too prideful to ask for any advice.
I was shocked to with those rookie mistakes. Just think how different his career would have been if he was using a simple test like sustanon with his deca.
***** The first time I took, I did without a Test Base. But I took a combination of Winstrol and Masteron. I went from 195 to 240 lbs in 2 months and I was curling 135 lbs, benching 335 and I had energy and libido through the roof.
Then at about the 10 week mark, I hit a slump. I had no energy whatsoever. I constantly felt like I had just drank a whole bottle of nyquil. I couldn't get my dick to stand up for anything, and trying to do cardio was like trying to lift a skyscraper.
Same mistake. No test, and no PCT. But sometimes you can get some results without test but its not a route you wanna take.
***** why do u cal lit Tesicular Atrophy..i prefer calling it Shrinking Balls Syndrome
Maybe it's why he's still around in good health
Da GreatOne Did they have PCT back in the 80s ???
The leaping one!
I met Lanny when I was 7 and he signed a Frisbee for me lol you would've thought I met a God I was a starstruck little kid lol
There are no other Gods besides Lord Jesus Christ as we all will find out on judgement day.
I would have been much more comfortable if they did this on a green screen, lawls!
Imagine getting a call from the Fink?
MR. HANNIBAL SIR, IF YOU HAVE LANNY DO " I'M THE SCATMAN" LIVE ON MIC AND THE AUDIENCE IS REALLY EATING IT UP, IF YOU CAME UP BEHIND HIM AND HIT HIM YOU COULD GET SOME HEAT FOR THAT WORK. JUST A THOUGHT SIR.
Wil there be any 3rd generation Poffo members to enter Pro Wrestling??? The same thing for the Gilbert family, Armstrong family, and Funk family.
