Lanny got over with Hogan for awhile, but was mainly a job guy. Macho was huge in the 80's. Angelo was their father and old time wrestler and had a promotion down south somewhere for a few years that busted. Jimmy Hart recommended Macho to Vince, and that was that. Andre hated Macho Man.Pat and Pipes probably didn't get along. Vince loved Pat. Piper was on the outs with Vince. Cornette never badmouths Pat so IDK. They worked together at the WWE in the late 90's. Macho Man, Lanny, and Angelo (Poffo family) also despised Pat.Pat Patterson and that ngger ring announcer, can't remember his name, used to prey on young wrestlers and teen boys who used to help construct the rings, the sick fags.
In an interview, Roddy Piper was asked about it and he was visibly upset while discussing the subject.
Pat Patterson being a predatory homo was one of the WWF's worst kept secrets.
My only fond memory of Lanny Poffo is his The Genius gimmick when he managed the Beverly Brothers.... Wasn't keen on his bro Macho Man either, always thought he was overrated.
