Rasslin 129: The Poffo Family’s ICW, The Final Years! (1983 – 1985)

Play episode
 
Regional Rasslin #129 looks at the final years of the Poffo Family’s ICW (1983 – 1985). Steve Crawford returns to talk with host Ray Russell about the slow decline as talent begins to jump ship, from Rip Rogers to Pez Whatley to Ron Garvin, even Lanny Poffo packs it in. We discuss a plan for Bruiser Brody falling through (where money lies, honor dies!). Ronnie Garvin collects money owed. Eventually, Randy Savage works out a deal to work for Jerry Jarrett & Lawler in Memphis, before Angelo completely folds up shop after the Macho Man signs a deal with the WWF.
