Was it ever explained why the Genius would read his poems off the back of a Frisbee or whatever that was?

Was it not like a clipboard of some sort?

When he was "Leaping" Lanny Poffo, he would read the poems off the frisbee and then throw them out to the audience. It wasn't until he turned heel and became the Genius that he started reading it from a clipboard. I really don't know what the whole poem thing was all about when he was a face, though.

Here's the cover from his awesome book, complete with frisbee.  I hate the guy (not really), because of this little poem about the Hart Foundation.... "When Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart Teams with Bret "The Hitman" Hart Together they're as strong as two bulls But only half as smart" -Okay, why is he crackin' wise on the Foundation for? It doesn't matter if he was a face and they were heels...he should be slapped and have a frisbee shoved deep within his throat so he can never read to us about his wonderful Beverlys ever again. Oh, and as far as the original question goes....I don't know. I just think it was swell he would read to us. |

My friend caught one of his frisbees at a Superstars taping back in 1986

Frisbees were just a cheap way to get a face pop. They worked, people acted like a Lanny Poffo frisbee was a World Series baseball sometimes.

I remember when he was in WWF as The Beverly Bros manager, The Genius. He always read stuff at the beginning of their matches off a metal scroll. I guess he chose a metal one because metal is all the better to whack faces upside the head with. Never mind that said scroll was about thin as a piece of cardboard, when he clonged someone with it they sold it good.

The frisbee was the easiest way to throw to the audience, he couldn't throw a piece of paper to the cheap seats, also for anyone who likes shoot interviews, his is great. I highly reccomend it and have a new respect for him.

Lanny has also released a poem book all about not smoking.
