Mr. Perfect taking a hammer to the winged eagle belt while “The Genius” Lanny Poffo sings as they “exercise their 1st Amendment right to desecrate Hulkamania” in front of a disgusted Mean Gene was peak wrestling villainy. RIP to all of the legends in this clip.
I sent Lanny a message back in 2012 because something he said in an interview really resonated with me. I still have his quote on my main tumblr: “I’ll be myself, or I’ll be by myself”.
The picture was his reply to me. I thought it was really cool that he took the time to say a few kind words.
