		One of the many wrestlers that Graham touched was "Leapin'" Lanny Poffo, The Genius, younger brother of Randy "Macho Man" Savage and perenial WWF mid-card attraction.
		Poffo's notorious pre-match poems (all of which were written by The Genius himself) were a great way to separate himself from the crowded WWF roster.
		But in 1988, when the reluctant babyface Leapin' Lanny was facing another talented wrestler who was also struggling to break out of the pack, Terry "The Red Rooster" Taylor, in New York's famed Madison Square Garden, Poffo invoked The Superstar's golden name in an attempt to get the fickle NYC fans on his side.

		Lanny Poffo, 46, was at his wrestling peak in the 1980s.
		It's the Poffo way, a relentless determination to accomplish a goal -- from the most sit-ups ever, to throwing 1,500 balls a day to become a lefty, to penning hundreds of public-service limericks and wrestling poems.

	Poffo, Angelo Wrestleinfo
		Angelo Poffo's first claim to fame came during World War II when he broke the U.S. Navy's sit-up record by performing 6,033 consecutive sit-ups (a risky endeavor given the fact that one aspirant to the title died from an aortic blood vessel bursting while he attempted the Herculean task).
		Poffo took up wrestling and appeared on the Dumont Network (during the wrestling craze of the 50's).
		Poffo continued wrestling through the 60's and 70's and eventually formed the outlaw promotion known as International Championship Wrestling (ICW).

	Angelo & Lanny Poffo - www.ezboard.com
		Does anyone remember when The Poffos came in the area in the 70's.They were billed as brothers with Angelo wearing that silly headgear and hairpiece.When someone finally pulled it off Angelo suddenly became Lanny's dad.
		You should have told Lanny that you'd buy whatever he was selling if he did the sales pitch with one of those classic poems.If he could make up a poem off the top of his head involving the product he was selling,and tie in the Beverly Bro.s,and insult the bushwackers, that would be true talent.
		Lanny was one hell of a babyface talent too bad he wasn't pushed harder, wonder what happened there in the WWF after '85 with him and the office...

	The Oratory 2k5: Leaving Its Mark (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Randy Poffo had been a successful pro baseball player working tirelessly to make it to the major leagues of the sport he loved, until tragedy ripped that away from him with a devastating injury to his right shoulder.
		A story of Poffo throwing 1,500 balls against the wall with his uninjured left arm in Sarasota seems to sum up the period, which depicts Poffo as a great man madly undertaking the most gruelling rehab schedule imaginable just so that he could continue his doomed baseball career with his left arm.
		While Lanny’s run wasn’t as bad as dominating the top heels in the promotion as some kind of saintly giant killer, or throwing anybody in burning dumpsters, or even executing any near fatal car crashes, it still came as a relief to most when Savage did what he used to do best: save the day.
