The Red Sox haven’t won in years. Lanny Poffo (Known as "The Genius" and "Leaping Lanny Poffo.") WWE will bestow this year’s Warrior Award to a long-time employee at the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony Saturday, April 6. Randy Savage was born on November 15, 1952 and died on May 20, 2011. Lanny Mark Poffo (born December 28, 1954), better known by his ring names "Leaping" Lanny and The Genius is a Canadian-American professional wrestler. [13], Lanny Poffo next moved to NWA affiliate Portland Championship Wrestling and made his debut on November 16, 1979 when he wrestled Kurt von Steiger to a draw at an event in Portland, OR. (CBS Boston/CBS Local) — The pro wrestling landscape has changed dramatically over the past 30 years. "She took care of all of us, worried about us and made sure we stayed in line," said son Lanny Poffo, 62, of Largo. Poffo signed a WCW contract in 1995, but may have wrestled only once during his time there (two sites record him as having defeated a preliminary wrestler in a dark match at a WCW Saturday Night taping on October 14, 1997 in Ft Myers, FL). He would say, “That’s the guy I can finish my career with!” He wanted the last part of his career to have a match greater than the one with Steamboat and then go out on top.”, PHOTOS: Cody Rhodes Returns On AEW Dynamite, Debuts A New Look.

Poffo began the year with a loss to Iron Mike Sharpe at a house show on January 1 in West Palm Beach, FL, and this was followed by a televised defeat on January 13 in Boston, MA to The Brooklyn Brawler. I had a chance to catch up with Poffo ahead of the April 2 home release of the 350 Days documentary.
Poffo was born in Calgary, Canada, to Angelo Poffo, an Italian American Catholic, and Judy, a Jewish American. The time away from home tore apart families, destroyed relationships, led to rampant drug use for some, and left others to walk away with nothing more than empty pockets and a bitter taste for the business. I thought she did very well. That winter Poffo and Savage moved on to a house show series against Gilbert and Tommy Rich. That winter he engaged in opening match contests with Dustin Rhodes, Shane Douglas and Jim Brunzell. The two brothers dominated the ICW Heavyweight Championship, and over the next six years the only other wrestler to hold it was Paul Christy. In March 2013, Poffo played a K9 police officer in the Discovery Investigation network's "I (Almost) Got Away With It". André, in his first televised match as a heel, had accidentally caught Poffo on the bridge of the nose with his headbutt and stitches were required to close the resulting wound.
