The
Genius was a lot more fun than

Well
you must be easily pleased,

I'm
The Genius, full of glory and renown,

I'm
a Canadian born American citizen,

I
officially started wrestling on June 6, 1973,

Yes
because he was signed in 1971 by the St. Louis Cardinals as a free agent and
he spent four years in the minor leagues, just knocking about,

Yes,
I feuded with him,

June of '85, changed life for the better.

There was a big controversy... people were saying... Chris Jericho treated me really well in the dressing room, he said, 'You were the first guy to ever do that.' No, I was the first guy to steal it from Tiger Mask. I don't want credit for doing things that I didn't do.

First of all, I disagree with the question. How many people do you know that were on NBC and defeated Hulk Hogan?

No
that was like the fifth time,

Actually
I saw a match between Tommy Billington, The Dynamite Kid, versus Tiger Mask in

Madison

Square

Garden

. And Vince McMahon was the MC of the match, he was the announcer. And I got
ahold of the tape and I saw him do so many fantastic things that I'd never
even dreamed of, Tiger Mask, and actually Dynamite Kid, I might as well say
it, between that time and the time I got to the WWF, Dynamite Kid had put some
of those moves away because he was already crippled. You can't take that many
chances with your body and he was accident prone, and now he's a complete
cripple... and he's bitter and mean, and Harry (Smith) filled me in on it.
It's a sad thing. I loved the guy, you know? I loved Davey Boy and him. You
couldn't possibly not like those guys. The first time I met Davey Boy, he
said, 'Hey you wanna see a picture of Bret Hart?' and he took out an 8x10 and
around Bret Hart's face he had cut out a hole and he had stuck in his
genitals. And I thought, how can you not like a guy like that, that's
hilarious. There's a lot of times in the dressing room you're bored to death,
you know? You couldn't be bored with The Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith,
they were competing for who could hold court. But anyway the thing is, I
didn't invent any of those moves. I stole them from Tiger Mask, and Tiger Mask
had a short career so I got the credit for it. ... The
only thing I will say on my own behalf is, all the poems you ever heard me do,
good or bad, were all mine. I plagiarized nothing and nobody.

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
alive?

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.

Yes,
