Lanny Poffo is not only charismatic both in and out of the ring but also in his writing. Lanny truly has a gift for both rhyme and storytelling which shows through clearly in this book. While fans who have become accustomed to his in ring poetry will find this book more than satisfies their craving for more humorous and witty lines, fans who are looking for a deeper look into the man will find that he is every bit a private individual and that this book is the closest we are ever likely to get in terms of him discussing his personal life both in and out of the ring unless he writes an autobiography.
I own and have read most of the books written by professional wrestlers and this one is definitely in a class by itself. Unlike most other books by wrestlers Lanny actually wrote this one by himself. I think that is why it is so different. There is no middleman and no wrestling promotion involved in toning down, editing or even outright removing whatever Lanny chooses to say.
While this book is enjoyable you will find that the 172 pages go by quickly and that they will leave you wanting even more of perhaps the most fascinating member of the Poffo Family.

Direct from Lanny Poffo
I got this book from the genius website from Lanny himself. I asked for a specific autograph picture and he said just send me your address and I'll send you a book. He sent me an awesome personalized book Before I even sent payment!!! He responds to his emails and is very gracious. The book really brings back memories from wrestling characters and the added bonus of personal information not from wrestling but all in rhymes. The book is a Moonsault Splash!!!
