Mr. Perfect and Genius discuss their "partnership" with Regis and Joy Philbin

A short clip from an interview from 1989, my fave part of the interview all right here. I hope it plays properly for you. Let me know if it doesn't through a comment. Regis' wife Joy replaced Kathie Lee on this episode.

No, I don't own the Live! with Regis show, and I don't own WWE nor did I film this myself...I was 5 at the time, so I doubt I could sit still long enough to notice Mr. P on stage. That, and I hated him. No copyright infringement intended, just wanted to share this great clip which I fixed up through Windows Movie Manager.

@1:26 What does Curt say?

@papillonaquatique: I believe he says, I wear it out of the closet, or you wear that out of the closet...just a gay joke. LOL Not that I support gay bashing cuz I don't...but you can tell Hennig is just joking and not intending to push the buttons of the gay community.

This video is gold, so funny! Mr. Perfect was one of my favourites growing up, the only heel I actually liked - I loved his humour and wrestling style.

@skihippy: Glad you liked it :)

I always thought Lanny Poffo never got the credit due him for the promos he cut. I for one really looked forward to them when I was a kid. It was different than the usual scream nonsensically at the camera for 5 minutes

@porterism100: Then, I hated his voice, because he was always making fun of my faves, and was really smug...even as a 5 year old I didn't like those people LOL But now, at 25, I agree that he was a very entertaining and compelling heel. Thanks for the comment!!

this is hilarious - both guys had enormous comic timing!

i loved mr. perfect - just for being that witty and smart heel he was.

thanks for sharing!

@greatestgoalie25 You're welcome. It shouldn't tarnish the fact that he was an excellent wrestler and a lovely person.

@greatestgoalie25 Screw being politically correct. True tolerance and equality will come the day that no one is afraid to offend with a joke. :)

@sunnyontheroxs: No problem!! Thanks for posting such a great comment, you're the type of person I put this up for.
