EARLIER STORY: Hamilton reverses decision, will allow debated Friday night wrestling events
Two weeks before that anniversary show, Future Great Wrestling this Friday will bring to Hamilton former WWF (World Wrestling Federation) and WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) wrestler “The Genius” Lanny Poffo.
Poffo, who still wrestles and in 1989 beat WWF Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan in Saturday Night’s Main Event XXIV, was also known as “Leaping Lanny.”
Poffo will wrestle, have a meet-and-greet, and afterward will hold a $25 post-show seminar for trained wrestlers, referees and managers.
Tickets for A Night With The Genius will be the same as the Origins show. Fans who buy tickets to the meet-and-greet, which happens from 6-7 p.m., will get a ticket to the show, a photo with their camera and can have an item autographed. For an additional $5, they will receive a photo of Lanny to have autographed. The post-match seminar will begin at 10 p.m.
“Lanny has a deep wrestling history with some of the biggest wrestling promotions, and is also the brother of Randy Macho Man Savage,” LeVick said.
Through the decades, he wrestled with numerous federations and organizations, and also as an independent wrestler.
