No, I don't know what you're talking about, ... It doesn't ring a bell. I've never known Molly Holly to lie about anything. She might be mistaken, or you might have your facts wrong. Any time I've ever needed anything from WWE, they've always busted their asses to comply with me. I'm not saying that you didn't hear it, and I'm not saying that Molly lied, she's never lied in her life. But it's possible that somebody's mistaken. Unless it had something to do with my infomercial. In that case, you would... you couldn't blame WWE for wanting to wet their beak a little. Yeah... the Tony Little thing, maybe that was it. It just didn't... the thing is, I've known Molly Holly for all these years, and she is the finest person that ever walked down the pike. So if she said something, you can take it to the bank. |
No that was like the fifth time, |
The greatest thing that ever happened to me. I got to go all over the world, never cost me a dime. He re-broke his leg, and he's about two inches shorter but he's walking better than ever... I love both those guys. |
The Genius was a lot more fun than |
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. |
There's a fork in the road, you can be jealous, or you can be happy. I always choose happiness. Jealousy is one of the seven deadly sins, ... If I've got two loaves of bread under each arm, why must I feel jealous of anybody? Why can't I just be happy for myself? If that's the way you look at it, then why isn't Randy jealous of David Letterman or Jay Leno? Because there's always somebody better than you. The thing is, I would rather just be thankful and live each day as if it was a gift instead of a burden. It is a burden if you're so competitive or so ego-driven that you can't live unless you make everything else dead around you. |
Well, I could do that also, but it was the Presidents. |
Well, I had the opportunity in 1968 to attend the Mr. Hawaii contest, |
Well you must be easily pleased, |
What happened was, it was poor timing, |
Yes, |
Yes, I feuded with him, |
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 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. |
