Actually I'm doing it because it helps promote my book. I work Monday through Friday... I don't need to go wrestle definitely, but it does help promote my book and it gets me out there to an audience that cannot be denied. Plus I found that I love it. Now I did something wrong, you see all my caps and gowns, I'd given away to charity. All my trunks, I've given away to charity. I have no boots. I had decided that I'd already wrestled my last match. I have to admit, I'd like to apologize to anybody who saw me in January, that I did wrestle but I was not properly supported.

But see I hung in there, I persevered, and what's the end of the story I'm healthy, wealthy and free. How many wrestlers, 50-years-old are even aliveLanny Poffo
No, I don't know what you're talking about, ... It doesn't ring a bell. I've never known Molly Holly to lie about anything. She might be mistaken, or you might have your facts wrong. Any time I've ever needed anything from WWE, they've always busted their asses to comply with me. I'm not saying that you didn't hear it, and I'm not saying that Molly lied, she's never lied in her life. But it's possible that somebody's mistaken. Unless it had something to do with my infomercial. In that case, you would... you couldn't blame WWE for wanting to wet their beak a little. Yeah... the Tony Little thing, maybe that was it. It just didn't... the thing is, I've known Molly Holly for all these years, and she is the finest person that ever walked down the pike. So if she said something, you can take it to the bank.

No that was like the fifth time. The first time was when I was on TNT before that. The second time I was on TNT, I told them that I had a poem for Lord Alfred Hayes. Now it's been taken off the WWE website but I managed to get it on the LannyPoffo.com website.

Yes you heard correctly. As a matter of fact, the first time I was on TNT and I did the poem... I was in a suit of armor. ... Vince McMahon said, in the commercial he said, 'Lanny that was great, I want you to do that before every match, I want you to do a poem.' I thought to myself, well okay, that's a little tough on a babyface... so I thought to myself, Al Costello used to throw those boomerangs (with The Fabulous Kangaroos) ... and I know that, my brother and I used to gouge each other's eyes trying to get those things, you know Whenever you get free stuff... so I started out throwing these little rolled-up scrolls but they weren't really flying. So I said, I've gotta throw a frisbee. So I bought 500 frisbees and I wrote a poem on them. And then the marketing people from World Wrestling Federation said, 'Do you mind if we market these' Do I mind if you market these I said I was dying to get my feet wet in that. So they sold them at 3 apiece, they sold several hundred thousand of them. And the reason they sold so many is because I was the only wrestler, win, lose or draw, that would, after the match was over, go to the venues, meet the people, be nice to the people, whether they bought frisbees or not.

This is a group effort. This is group theatre. This is no big star turn. You could do things with it to do that but it would just be out of kilter. This is one reason I like this play. This is a unit.
