First off, sorry I couldn't make it to GCon again to get the big news. That post-7/4 week is pretty competitive as far as getting time off from work for me.
So maybe this was addressed at the Con, but I still think it'd be interesting to gauge the response. How should Lanny Poffo be represented in card form? In a cap and gown, with heel moves like "smash with scroll" and an HONOR ROLL finisher? Or with the glittery jacket and frisbees and the SKYDROP?
He wrestled for longer as Leaping Lanny, and teamed up with Randy in Memphis pre-Genius. The Genius was pushed harder in the WWF, though, and Leaping Lanny never got a victory over Hulk Hogan. It's a tough call, and maybe there are no wrong answers. However, the old-school purist in me leans toward a Leaping Lanny card--the Genius could get a PDF write-up in the Promoter or Online.
What say you?

I think Tom said somewhere (I can't remember if it was Twitter or Facebook) that Lanny requested a Genius card.
but perhaps we could get Leaping Lanny as one of the LOW alter ego cards that get released in the Promoter?

When I originally heard we were getting an LOW 4-pack, I wondered if we would be getting both cards for Lanny.
I loved the Poffo family stuff in Memphis when Angelo managed Randy and Lanny, but I'd still have to say the Genius was more memorable, and more marketable as well.

I only know him really as the Genius ? Curt Hennig would be happy to see him ?

Genius since it's what Lanny wants, though honestly other than a couple heel moves, the style was almost exactly the same.

I already cast my vote, but if Lanny wants a Genius card, then who am I to say otherwise?

I would like a Leaping Lanny card but if he wants to be represented as The Genius I'm cool with that. After all it is because of Lanny that we are getting cards for him, Angelo, and Randy so we have to be grateful to him for that.

I say if Lanny wants a genius card, then do a genius card. He did help make all this possible. Maybe down the line do a SE/LE Leaping Lanny card. Or have one in the Promoter.
