Lanny Poffo as the Genius

[Schemer]

I only really remember the Genius managing the Beverly Brothers near the end of his run... I remember on Wrestling Challenge the banter between Brain and Gorilla going as follows...

BRAIN: He's got an IQ of over 200...

GORILLA: Yeah, that's if you multiply it by six...

BRAIN: Awww... I'm gonna tell him you said that!


BRAIN: I'd like to have a big Hong Kong Chinese phone book of all of his poems.

GORILLA: I could probably arrange that for you... Actually, you'd need two...

BRAIN: Why?--

GORILLA: Well if you don't know by now!...

BRAIN: One to burn and one to keep it goin' with.

GORILLA: That's correct....

Was in the Book of Lists Exclamation Point for having one of wrestling's best hairstyles. He told him it was to help him look bigger in the age of steroids, of which he never partook.

My brother and i STILL re-enact his selling of the back-scratch HOGAN dished out to him all those years ago on SUPERSTARS.

USELESS?

The Genius was awesome. He made people hate him and want to see him get beat up.
His poems were so funny and annoying at the same time. When I was a kid I wanted someone to come out and beat him up so bad. Then he got a win over Hogan and I loved him for it.

I saw the genius lose to KoKo B. Ware at a house show. KoKo pulled off Lanny's wig and we all did the Birdman dance!
