Why Was Lex Luger Over?

[I-Hate-You]

I never fukked with Lex Luger.

Lex was alright, just wish Vince didnt ruin him with the Lex Express push, he was better as a natural heel

Pretty obvious he woulda been the guy for Vince in the 80s if he couldn't get Hulk

lex luger has to have aged worse than most. nikka was on one of the pawn shop shows pawning off his robes, at first i didnt know who the fukk he was, looked mad frail

He was snorting coke, fam.

If they let Lex carry the title for at least a month, instead of 5 days after beating Hogan, his career is viewed differently.

Welp. :belip:

Up until this thread, I also thought the "plate in the arm" thing was real.

All you haters catch a loaded forearm

lex da gawd

 

[KEEPITTRILLA]

so the only reason u homos liked luger was because of his body

 

[NYSTATEOFMIND]

simple

He really did have a titanium plate in his arm. He had surgery after a motorcycle accident in 1992, just before he left WCW. He talks about it in his book (which really isn't worth reading if you're hoping he's gonna talk about his wrestling career).

So yeah, that loaded forearm gimmick was based on some truth.

In his prime Luger was a big that man that was insanely athletic and had a great look, it's really no mystery why he was over. He got lazy later in his career, but even then he was entertaining. I honestly have no idea why he gets clowned, but people love guys like Warrior. Warrior couldn't lace up Luger's boots when he was motivated.

The brotha in the speedos who danced like a clown and waved his finger when people threw him against the ropes was another fav.

Bret Hart really sold his shots too.

This nikka talking shyt about norman smiLAY?

I was a major mark for Tatanka and his undefeated streak. Well..The Narcissist was undefeated too and they had a match scheduled for King of the Ring 93. It ended in bullshyt though.

Breh breh ummm was tatanka considered to be trash in the ring ?! Or have a bad reputation backstage ?!?! I loved that nicca as a kid like you and up until yesterday I didn't think he was bad in ring . I was listening to a podcast and they were shytting on him like it's common knowledge he sucks !!! Can my childhood hero be a bum ?!??

Cause it was always fun to see people get up in the torture rack. It was a very unique move compared to what everyone else was doing.

One of my favorite Luger matches is when he tagged with Sting to face the Steiner Brothers at SUPERBRAWL. This is the first time both fan favorites went at it.

If someone can find a better version of this please post-up.
