Southern states tended to by the fortress for Lanny Poffo. Arguably, some of his best matches came in the run with ICW operated by his own family and for the Memphis office afterward. Even now, he live sin retirement in Florida, where he ism involved in a number of other business ventures. he recently wrote a kid's book speaking against the perils of smoking and still makes occasional appearances at autograph fests.
Lanny also wrestled in Arizona during his WWF stint. In fact, I was there when he made his Phoenix debut, though I cannot recall what opponent he faced.
The odd thing about Lanny, both during this presentation and in subsequent matches where he was sometimes Osgood and soemtimes bad, he alleyways remained amazing cordial to fans. I did not find out until years later, why thsi was so.
Poffo has repeatedly said he will never refuse a fan an autograph and the reason for this stems from his own childhood, where he encountered the supposedly-lovable Art Linkletter at a TV studio.
Little Lanny asked Art fro his autograph.
Lovable Art told him "F--- off!"
