lol at may have missed that.
your "point" holds no water, anyone who actually saw nwa/wcw during that time knows luger wasn't over because of the damn torture rack. Say he wasn't a great worker fine, say he wasn't great on the mic fine, but for whatever reasons Luger stayed over in the 80s, and even in the mid 90s during the nwo run he was massively over. Luger is the GOAT US Champion
I won't dispute your point about Luger in the 80's..I was too young to watch..but in the mid 90's nWo run, he was over first because he was one of the last "big" WCW guys left, then because he joined the Wolfpack early as a babyface and was key in bringing Sting in...the fans just wanted to see the Wolfpack go over the White and Black and were riveted to the Sting saga in between.
He was just a big leech. You're telling me Luger was really over on his own? Like people would go to see Luger?
I guess he was somewhat credible as a US Champ..but seeing that list, there are many other wrestlers that I would consider to be better than Luger.
In 1993, I was a young child, who was obsessed with watching wrestling. I was a mark. I saw Luger (then the Narcissist) in an airport in full wrestling attire, and wasn't even excited. I asked my Dad where Razor was..
I can't really imagine that anyone was a big Luger fan...though he had his moments due to booking.
