Yea I loved Leapin Lanny Poffo when I was a kid, people dont give him enough credit for moonsaults, and dives. He was super athletic.

lmao lol man i wish wrestling was still like this

[wedward9]

Wow this is actually a decent piece of poetry

[papillonaquatique]

@nochu2 He doesn't give himself enough credit for his moonsault. He doesn't think he deserves it because he 'stole it' from another wrestler but just because someone else did the move first doesn't mean they perfected it first! I mean there were plenty of singers before Frank Sinatra but no one goes around saying that he stole their abilities. Lanny deserves the credit for the best moonsault in my opinion.

Lanny is a great talent but this is fucking awful gimmick

LOL, the best part: 1:23-1:25

@selimaazouri Because he proved himself as a tough guy in and out of the ring. Even Ole Anderson had to shut up when he tried to test him. Lanny once said that the only person he couldn't beat was Randy.

i was wondering...why did he call himself "sir" lanny...was it a "related 2 nobility" thing?...or what?...

[JonathanVonErich]

I thought it was another Monthy Python parody. Man this is bad.

But yes, Lanny was a great wrestler.

one of the most underrated wrestlers ever. The guy had all the ability in the ring one could ask for.
