He was one of the regular pasties always getting beaten up. I believe he was Macho Mans cousin or something. R.I.P

I never liked his gimmick but he was real a talented athlete in the ring . I enjoyed watching him doing his stuff.

I will never forget one match where he had his frisbees out and was reading the poem he wrote on them before he'd throw them into the crowd. He was mercilessly insulting King Kong Bundy, it was such a funny skit. As soon as the bell rings, there is Bundy all his rage built up from the name calling who basically puts Poffo out in 15 seconds of so. Gorilla Monsoon "I think that's the official record for the fastest pin in WWF (their original name) history!'. Lol. Funny memories when I had a chance to laugh as a kid.
