Super-honored today to have professional wrestling legend, Leaping Lanny Poffo, as my guest! He recently signed with Solstice for one of the most incredible books of poetry you can ever read.

 

Here’s a sample of one of the poems, plus a look at the gorgeous illustrations inside.

             The Living Legend

Once upon a wrestling ring

But not so long ago

Mr. Bruno Sammartino

Was the only name to know

 

He stood up to Buddy Rogers

And then “nature boy” went down

Less than 60 seconds later

Sammartino wore the crown

 

He’s the real “Italian Stallion”

That’s a fact you can’t ignore

His career had more success

Than Rocky I, II, III, and IV

 

The Living Legend lives again

For every single fan

He’s on the microphone each week

Right next to Vince McMahon

 

I know what you’re thinking. A pro wrestler writes poetry? The industry doesn’t exactly tout the intelligence of its’ stars on a daily basis. But this book is definitely worth picking up.
