Vince overselling Lex Luger's Yokozuna Slam apperciation thread

[FakeNews]

I remember I kept waiting for bytch ass Hoegan to show up.

 

[Hoss]

He literally commentated this shyt like a 80s movie

That's exactly what it sounds like, 80s wrestling movie play-by-play man.

I remember thinking even as a kid that Vince was so terrible and corny as an announcer that he ended up being entertaining. That shyt was right down his alley.

I guess that was literally Luger's face turn, right? Just showing up and suddenly being an American patriot after months of being The Narcissist.

Don't remember there being any kind of buildup to it. Could be wrong though.

Good times

remember how big of a deal it was to even knock big Yoko on his ass

Todd Pettengill and Lex wearing the same shirt

you know Lex was hyped and wanted to rip his shirt but something inside him told him

Lex with the cism though lol he called Yoko “an overstuffed, sushi-eating, rice-choppin' wrestler”

dont forget when Hulk called him a Jap before this

I woulda kicked yoko in the nuts and than sucker punched mr fugi for his coins

Why haven't I ever seen this?

 

[Killer Instinct]

so (insert wrestler) has to lay down and eat the pin after every match



They are all props

you're right

 

[THEREALBRAND]

Lex should have a run back then

Vince’s booking killed Lex.

As The Narcissist, Lex should have been the heel embodiment of the 80s muscle heads. Heel Lex going up against the smaller stars of the New Generation would have printed money. It made no sense turning him face like that, especially after Lex had just done the best heel work of his career in WCW.

It was a hip toss

 

[OmegaK2099]

He was a Hero

 

[mr.africa]

Lex's speech before slamming Yoko was kinda on the

side.

sounding like a WW2 vet with ptsd

 

[TheAlbionist]

Can't see anything about this without hearing Heenan complain "It was a hiptoss!"

 

[HipHopStan]

Didn't one of the football players actually try to go into business for himself and slam Yokozuna? Can you imagine if he did.



Maybe it was Bill Fralic or Lee Rouson, but not sure.

 

[R=G]

Went from the narcissist...to this? Lol

Luger had the kind of look to be in a movie with Arnold..that 80s blonde tall kid look.

 

[R=G]

He literally commentated this shyt like a 80s movie

If you think that's extreme, I guess you haven't seen when Jake the Snake had the cobra bite Macho..
"Elizabeth shouldn't see this WHORROR" LOL
