Poems for Poffo

We’re interviewing Lanny Poffo on Monday as part of the For The Love of Wrestling Podcast. We’re going to be giving away a photo or autograph with Lanny for someone who is going to the event at the end of Oct, but in order to win they must submit a poem. We’ll be reading a bunch out on the show and Lanny will pick a winner.

There’s absolutely no way I’m missing the opportunity to find some gold from you lot. This place has award winning comedians and battle rap legends for god sake.

The only rules are, the poems need to be relatively short, have a wrestling theme and we’re obviously not going to read him negative stuff about his family, saying that, you can post what you want in here.

If you’re not going, you can’t win, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be read out. You’ve got until 6.00pm tomorrow (Monday). We’re uploading the episode on Thursday, so mint late submissions could still make the final outro edit.

Mr Lanny Poffo, you wrestled as The Genius

Is it just your brain that's massive, or is also your penis?

I'm sure ring rats were abundant, sex, you never had to buy it

But did you ever get a blowie from Missy Hyatt?

 

You would wrestle using athleticism, you'd even employ mathematics 

This combination led to your victories being emphatic

Your fanbase was eclectic, containing jocks and nerds

But did you ever use a calculator to type out rude words?

What does a wrestling genius mean to us really?

Whether as a babyface or feeling kind of heel-y,

Stating all his stanzas both before and after matchups,

We all assume his ring IQ left others playing catch-up,

Though he never wrestled in a real Royal Rumble,

With a brother as a king, the pair were often less than humble 

Two men with wrestling DNA, they were second generation

And now on this great podcast - it’s a Poffo celebration!

There was a wrestling Genius called Lanny

Whose gift for grappling and poems was uncanny

He beat Hogan one Saturday Night on NBC

Before guiding to greatness the Brothers Beverly

And held the NWA Gulf Coast Tag Team Championship with the Macho Man-ny

Lanny the wrestler was Leaping

Into WCW he went creeping

Never stepped in the ring 

But his bank still went ka-ching

Until time Warner went reaping

 

However that's just an excuse to say I met Lanny at a fan event and he signed his page in the wrestler crap book of lists and was so friendly and chatty. As he was signing something like that he could have been s fick but he thought it was quite funny and told us a couple of stories. Unless I'm mistaken@Lion_of_the_Midlands was at that event too and bought his poetry book.
