Lex Luger was my favorite wrestler growing up. Greatest moment and loudest pop in nitro history was when he put hulkster In the torture rack to win the world title. Was a consistent main event wrestler for the entire decade of the 90s. Lex not being in the HOF is a joke! Thank you for this interview. 3 wrestling immortals!
@@fritzcolburn yes absolutely! And it needs to be an actual place that you could visit, but right now its located in Vince's mind. Theres a few other hall of fames which is more legitimate. Even the wrestling observer hall of fame is more respectable.
@@citizenbeeswax7985 I think I've just decided to start putting something together. Not sure how this will go down but Vince has pissed me off for the last time.
I love the Briscoe and Bradshaw podcast and I watch all of them but this is the third time I've watched Lex Luger on the show very inspirational I do not understand how this podcast is not more popular it's unbelievable everyone must put out how great this podcast is completely inspiring
The saddest part of the Meltzer/IWC and those who "feed" both is how they so successfully managed to trash so many legends, guys who worked on top, drew money, and were huge names. Lex would be near the top of that list.
It's in Meltzer's blood to try and slander and sabotage successful, strong white males. "They" make themselves the authority on things they have very little to zero experience of and attempt to make you feel inferior and wrong if you question them. Just look at the surnames of all these "journalists" and "experts". I remember Cornette called out the "journalist" on one of his RAW promos who tried to destroy WWF with the steroid scandal.
Lex Luger needs to be in the hall of fame, its time for the wwe to get over themselves and put him in. It's great to hear him telling his story and he looks happy. At 28:50 I could totally picture Flair giving that look and saying that lol.
Luger definitely deserves his spot in the hall.. Does Vinco hold a grudge against him?.. What an amazing athlete..such an inspiration.. thanks JBL and Mr Brisco for this 👍
Great work guys. This was your best interview. Lex traveled a long and interesting road through college and Pro football, FCW, Crockett and the 4 Horsemen, WCW and WWE. I recommend this interview to anyone!
Still love you, Lex, I'm so glad you can laugh and talk and look well. You are and will always be one of my favorite wrestlers of WCW you are walking with the Lord now. God, bless your life you are a good man and my family love you best wishes.
This is awesome. Thank you for interviewing lex. He is very very underrated. Absolutely a hall of famer. And just an amazing person. Great to see. He gets a horrible reputation sadly and it just isn’t true. Hopefully they end up airing his icons episode soon… you guys have any idea when they will?!
Lex had the best body in wrestling . He really wasn't that bad in the ring. He was always my favorite after Magnum TA got hurt. The pops he got in WCW were insane . Luger vs Magnum TA would have been one of the greatest feuds
One of THE best interviews you all have done! LEX NEEDS TO BE IN THE HOF!!! Also, there needs to be an actual HOF building for fans to visit!!!! Tell Endeavor to make it happen!
I could probably listen to Lex tell stories with Brisco and JBL all day long. Lexs AE Bio is probably the best one next to Kurt Angles episode because of their endurance thru hardships, some self appointed, others not.
You know, Lex you're a perfect example of it takes 3. Thanks for all the houses, the you speak is very sweet. I wish you nothing other than good health and respect. Take my boy.
i had no idea how well i enjoy this gentleman's personaliy, i watched him on wtbs 4 horse. i didnt see him as anything other than a big heal. the brodie cage was another bought that got huge heat with me. like so many wrestlers kayfabe got this mark
"They paid my $50,000 for a match in Japan; which was big money back then..." Hell it's big money now! 🤣 I'll let you put me in the Torture Rack for as long as you want for 50k!
It's a rotten shame..Lex Luger is bragging so high on Ric Flair....but then when he hear he's always trashing Luger...saying he couldn't work....just like he does Sid Vicious to this day
Thank you for this upload, total legends and the one and only Lex Luger. A very positive guy on Social media, and I appreciate that the older I get. Thanks John stay awesome.
What I get from Lex Luger is this-a really nice guy who used to be a wrestler. He is someone who gives great vibes. I like him. God bless you Lex.

Awesome comment!!!
@@chrisvietro4360 thank you sir!
The HoF is a joke. We need a real HoF established and voted on by the fans

I was a big Lex mark in my younger days. So happy that he's living a happy life now. Loved the interview. 😁😁
You were a printer?
@@fritzcolburn yes
@@HeyYo8 it's about time somebody got that

It needs time. To be honest Bradshaw is great and his name is very well known. Briscoe on the otherhand not as popular. Just need time.

They need to do a movie revolving around the life of Lex Luger, he has an incredible story to tell

I'm glad lex is the man he is today!! Any man can change if ur heart allows it! 💯💯🙏🙏
Great to see Lex Luger. I've always been a fan. Also, I like JBL's collection. I'm a collector myself and it's similar to what I like and collect.
Luger definitely deserves his spot in the hall.. Does Vinco hold a grudge against him?.. What an amazing athlete..such an inspiration.. thanks JBL and Mr Brisco for this 👍

Lex Luger was and still is my favorite
Awesome comment. Same here!!!!
Mine too. Him and Sting are my absolute favorites
@@hollypierce4843 Yessss, my favorite team.
Still love you, Lex, I'm so glad you can laugh and talk and look well. You are and will always be one of my favorite wrestlers of WCW you are walking with the Lord now. God, bless your life you are a good man and my family love you best wishes.
This was an unexpected and very welcome treat. Great interview and it's good to hear that Lex is doing so well now.
It’s always great to hear Luger in his interviews. Never heard him putting down other wrestlers, like many do with him.
It's so awesome to see the way Lex lights up every time he gets to share the love and power of Jesus☝️💙
Love you so much brother
MAXIMUM RESPECT
I really enjoyed listening to this. Lex has always been a favorite of mine. Good job, guys.
This is awesome. Thank you for interviewing lex. He is very very underrated. Absolutely a hall of famer. And just an amazing person. Great to see. He gets a horrible reputation sadly and it just isn’t true. Hopefully they end up airing his icons episode soon… you guys have any idea when they will?!
The Total Package was one of my Favorites.. He was a big big dude I ran into Lex at the Airport once .. He looked like a Greek God
Lex had the best body in wrestling . He really wasn't that bad in the ring. He was always my favorite after Magnum TA got hurt. The pops he got in WCW were insane . Luger vs Magnum TA would have been one of the greatest feuds
I love Lex. He always looks like he’s about to crack up laughing.
When when Jery and Jack got attacked by Dusty and Duck Murdock in Miami in the 60s . Love the old time wrestling
One of THE best interviews you all have done! LEX NEEDS TO BE IN THE HOF!!! Also, there needs to be an actual HOF building for fans to visit!!!! Tell Endeavor to make it happen!
Thankful to learn that Lex Luger turned his life around.
Great, great interview!! Lex was fantastic!
Wonderful interview! It's really amazing how Lex transformed himself into a great human being!
I could probably listen to Lex tell stories with Brisco and JBL all day long. Lexs AE Bio is probably the best one next to Kurt Angles episode because of their endurance thru hardships, some self appointed, others not.
Great show with Lex Luger.
lex luger is so cool he is one of my favorite wrestlers in the 80s
You know, Lex you're a perfect example of it takes 3. Thanks for all the houses, the you speak is very sweet.
I wish you nothing other than good health and respect.
Take my boy.
Care*
I 💘 Lex hes my first crush on TV and met him many times he was always so sweet😘😘😘😘😘
Lex inspires me and anyone else who listens to him today! THANK YOU LEX! For being such a great entertainer and being who u are today!!
Gerald Briscoe is the best. I love that guy, seriously.
I still say to this very day Lex should have beat yoko at summer slam for the wwF title!
Best episode ever
i had no idea how well i enjoy this gentleman's personaliy, i watched him on wtbs 4 horse.
i didnt see him as anything other than a big heal.
the brodie cage was another bought that got huge heat with me.
like so many wrestlers kayfabe got this mark
Interview flows ,what a dance,
I agree w/Oklahoma Drill being the worst! I still have nightmares 😅
Lex lugar great story about ron simmons
Lex Luger was a great wrestler in the NWA…..
Lex is right Time Warner just came in 96 , Aol didn't till January 2001 but yeah those guys didn't like wrestling
I love it. They started talking football for a good while. Stuff I never knew.
"They paid my $50,000 for a match in Japan; which was big money back then..."
Hell it's big money now! 🤣
I'll let you put me in the Torture Rack for as long as you want for 50k!
Lex Luger vs Bradshaw should've happened
Sad how is life gone like it has great look and body just reach greatest status but did good
Hall of fame is lex...!
How come Ron never went pro?
Injuries.
ACL
A torn ACL was a death sentence back then when knee surgery was more like brain science and rocket surgery lol
1:11:28
It's a rotten shame..Lex Luger is bragging so high on Ric Flair....but then when he hear he's always trashing Luger...saying he couldn't work....just like he does Sid Vicious to this day
There is no way Bret Hart would have taken the belt to WCW. Vince knew Bret wouldn't do something like that.
Ted Turner sucked .. It was better when the Crockett's had it.
JBL is so good announcing attributes
brother love should be blamed for everything his touch was cancer
Thank you for this upload, total legends and the one and only Lex Luger. A very positive guy on Social media, and I appreciate that the older I get. Thanks John stay awesome.
