I forgot the story on why Lex didn’t win the belt at Summerslam, I’m sure one of you guys do...

But just like Booker T at ‘Mania...and I know that’s an Entirely different situation...but this is one of those cases where no matter how predictable, you HAD to go with your proposed end result. In my mind, you don’t have Luger turn face suddenly on some “USA!” shyt, slam Yoko in this over-the-top scenario, have that damn tour bus zig zagging the country, and NOT give the man that title. Even if it’s a short run, we should’ve gotten that visual.

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.
The Narcissist theme was fukking GREATNESS

The crowd didn't care and Vince was over it

He got a good pop at summerslam but Vince was already done with it by then

Good times :mjcry:

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

Todd Pettengill and Lex wearing the same shirt :russ:

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

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

dont forget when Hulk called him a Jap before this :mjpls:

You do know Yoko wasn’t actually Japanese right?

Funniest part about all of this is Yoko was born and raised in the USA and English was his first language :mjlol:

I’m still :dwillhuh: @ Lex not getting the title at SummerSlam 93

And Crush easily had that slam :sas2:
