Leaping Lanny Poffo was one of the first acrobatic wrestlers in the World Wrestling Federation in the mid-1980's. He is the brother of former World Wrestling Federation Champion, Randy "Macho Man" Savage. On an otherwise dull Saturday morning show that had nothing but squash matches, Leaping Lanny (and Piper's Pit) made the show watchable. It looked like at one time the team of Lanny Poffo and George Wells was bound to be tag-team champions, then things fizzled. Lanny Poffo would team with a jobber, and the jobber would get pinned. Later Lanny Poffo would get pinned. He did surface with "The Genius" gimmick, but he lost his matches. Who got mad at him, or how did he fall from grace such that he never gained the notariety he deserved?
