As far as I know (I didn't see the shows that week) no on-TV WWE tribute?
If not...I wonder if it's because the Genius character, ahem, didn't age well today? (I think Kamala got little after his passing for similar reasons, that and bad blood and all)

I’m surprised with all the wrestling deaths lately, Lanny wasn’t brought up on tv by either wwe or AEW. wwe because he worked for them in a memorable role, and brother of Randy. AEW because they love to acknowledge old wrestlers.

AEW because they love to acknowledge old wrestlers. Maybe the '80s is no longer "must-acknowledge" wrestling history. Horrifying passage of time: it's been longer between the 80s and now than it was between the 80s and when the WW(W)F started! Quick explanation: we're old.

Was reminded of Lanny passing because of the second Muffingate thread and, it's still so, so sad.

Cause of death was congestive heart failure.

As I feared. For many reasons.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Lanny a few years ago for a now-defunct web site. He was a very nice guy. Wrote a poem for our site and did a few free pics and autographs and everything. The next year, he even remembered my birthday. Maybe with the aid of social media reminders that we all use now for all I know, but still a kind and unnecessary gesture. He was very humble too. Had no issues acknowledging that Randy was the more famous brother. I'm glad they can be together again in the afterlife. Lanny, you will be missed.

Cause of death was congestive heart failure. i know he wasn't like 50 or young anymore, but he was like really surprising to hear about. He seemed fit to me, and pretty healthy from what he looked like a few Years ago.

I was watching an old SNME battle royale, and I was reminded of Lanny's epic blade job. Really made Andre look like a million bucks from that. Might be in my top 10 blade jobs of all time.
