I had to chuckle at the caption, it's the kind of thing i'd expect to see on a Youtube comment.

 

Is Lanny wearing a suit of armour there? What's the story/gimmick behind that?

I don't know, but if his catchphrase wasn't something about "getting medievel on your ass" they missed a trick.

 

edit - the jousting thingy is called a lance, right?

 

It is called a lance, yes! I did a load of research on armour for work last month, but the idea of a wrestler with a knight gimmick or outfit never crossed my mind. There's a lot of potential in the idea if Lanny didn't go all the way with it.

He wore the knight outfit when he was doing the Sir Lanny Poffo gimmick before he came to the WWF. Here's a great clip of it:

 

When he got to the WWF he wore it for his poems on Saturday Nights Main Events. He then wore the suit in a load of battle royal for comedy value.

Was just about to post the same thing. There's a WWF Bunkhouse Battle Royal from the Boston Garden where Lanny wore the Knight Suit, helmet included. King Kong Bundy also takes part in that match wearing a bowling shirt.

Brilliant, thanks both. Will be looking up that battle royal too, if I can find it. New favourite wrestler!
