It’s amazing how much he’s changed in 20’years
He even sounds different
I was there when he beat NWO Hogan first and it was absolute mental. the place was dancing and cheering. I still get chills.
That was a historic pro wrestling moment. Legendary. You're lucky to be able to say that.
Sean... I remember recording this . I was watching it again and again .. the atmosphere was electric
Auburn Hills yeah?
When is this man going in the hall of fame? I know Lex had problems, but damn The Total Package is a legend. ps Before anyone brings up Liz, that was horrible and unfortunate, and Lex has to deal with the memory of that night, but he did not force drugs on Liz...she was an adult.
I Agree with you plus I would love for WWE to do a Blu-Ray on him already.
A Blue-Ray for Luger is long over due. It's sad whats become of him body wise but he seems to be in good spirits. Such an underrated legend.
I Agree.
underrated?!? he was pushed to the moon his entire career based on his look. lol. The Lex express rocked though. lol. m.th-cam.com/video/C0goiLbkvro/w-d-xo.html
RONAN DAX Completely agree, LL should definitely be in HOF. Elizabeth was an adult and chose her path. It was tragic, but certainly wasn't on Lex.
The most misunderstood guy in wrestling. I've always thought that. Did his best with what he had. Plus he came in in an awkward way...as he was thrust to the top from pretty much the minute he started. Lots of guys had it out for him.
I agree I was always a fan of Lex.
For all the smarks and guys like Alvarez that shit on him, he was so fucking over in the late 90s it was ridiculous.
It's funny how that exact same people that pretend Luger was unsuccessful, proclaim Hogan and Dusty couldn't work, and pretend the fringe of the audience is the majority are still doing it today 20-30 years later with Reigns.
lex was awesome, wwe has decided to sh*t on his memory it seems like, but lex was always a big star
@@78bcat dusty the wrestler was way better than the dusty the booker
Best double axe handle in wrestling and screaming to go with it. AHHHHH AHHHH AHHHHH LOL
Hahahaha! Yes, so true! I always loved Luger's screams the best. Especially when he's taking blows lmao Luger really used to help put guys over and sell them to the crowd.
AHHHHHH! AHHHHH! OHHHHH!! Lmfao
Sounds like the money shot of a great porno
@Citizen Beeswax he was stiff at times
@Citizen Beeswax ok that makes sense
I think this guy is grossly misunderstood .
yep
Lex has alot of heat but man, what an all around great guy. Can't not feel sad by his down fall, but it's great he's doing well today. LEX EXPRESS.
That actually makes perfect sense what he said about being paired with Harley. I can't believe that never crossed my mind about Flair leaving with the legendary belt. I've never seen a real Lex shoot interview but hIs demeanor really surprises me about how much flak he has taken from the boys. He seems really rational, caring, introspective and just cool, for the "big cocky meat head jock" portrayal that people have given him. I could listen to him shoot for hours.
Lex is genuinely good dude
It PAINS me to Lex in that state he is in now its broken my heart 😢 I adore him since the good old days much love and hope dude.
Luger wasnt appreciated until he was not able to wrestle anymore...now all we have is videos and memorys that get brighter and brighter..
I feel the same way...but i dont think that same magic exsits anymore...i think if you watched wrestling in the 80s 90s and 00s you saw wrestling at its storytelling zenith...i cant speak for shows im not watching but i think wwe is struggling to create good content because after 40 or more years , whats left?...i mean its like now instead of good storys they relie on just doing what you dont ecpect which makes it feel like wwe makes no since...
Winni started watching flair in 97 and could not figure out why people loved him so much. But when wwe released the FLAIR dvds and i saw his classic 80s stuff with steamboat and windam and funk i gained new levels of respect for the guy. I think 80s flair could work circles around alot of top guys today....
Incredible to see a guy like Luger speak where he sees this as 100% a job and not much more.
Great video, I'll always be a Lex Luger fan. The hate he gets is such BS. He got a big push and was over, so people were jealous. Lex Luger HOF 2018( Fingers crossed)
sucks how they made him look like a joke in summerslam 1993
I was a fan of the Lex Express back when I was a kid.
Luger is an all time great! Thank you for this awesome vid!
As someone from Germany I can say that after Hogan left between 1993 -1995 Lex was next to Undertaker the Hottest wrestler
Ich mochte ihn auch immer gerne
As always, Lex a great interview. Animated, engaging and charming.
The interviewer says "Right" more than Russo says "Bro" lol
Ryan Freeburg lmao 😂😂
Is that possible ?!?!?
STEVE BRO LET ME TELL YA OK BRO YOU REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS LIKE BACK THAN BRO
Lex, has not said anything bad about anyone, and this was before he became A CHRISTIAN, Lex is one of the all time Greats, one of my Childhood Hero’s, in The NWA/WCW in the 80s, early 90s, before WWE, and before He made his return to WCW on the first ever Nitro. Lex was the best from 86, to 91. Was great as the Narcissist, Great, but not Yankee Doddle
Joey Gana yea he was always humble in real life, even before he got Saved
He was always a Christian. This was before he hit rock bottom
Same here, I was so happy when he finally won the world title in 91. About a year before that he had a great feud with stan Hansen where they traded US title wins. Hansen said in a shoot interview that he was their best talent in the early 90s and thought they made a big mistake when they let him go to WWF. His world title win against hogan in 97 is still probably the loudest pop I ever heard in WCW. Him not being in the HOF yet is a total joke.
agreed I always thought that why make him an American hero born n bred with a name called lex it's German lol
HE NEVER DREW A DIME!
Great shoot interview! Lex is awesome 👍👍👍
Lex Luger double axe handle AHHHHHH AHHHHHH AHHHHHH
Compare this interview with the interview he did with Hannibal from this year.... amazing difference
@Harry Davis I think it’s the difference in Luger, not sure anyone should call a Hannibal interview amazing. He’s okay, he fills a gap but he’s very dull and by the numbers. Zero charisma and only asks the easy questions.
@@machohogan you must be brian lasts boyfriend
People can crap on Luger all they want but they can't deny the fact he was over in WCW. The only two more over were obviously Ric and Sting. But he's not lying when he says whether he played a face or heel, he got some of the best crowd reactions. If you need a huge pop during a match, just set up Luger in a hot tag. It gets them every time.
He seemed pissed every time the phone beeped lol
You could tell that’s the old lex Luger . In 2006 he gave his life to the old 🙏👍👌
Great Shoot interview Luger Straight Shooter
I think ppl shit on Lex because he had the right mentality about the business. It was just that for him,business. He didnt care about politics in the back or being everybody’s friend,he wanted the most money to do the least work...thats actually smart. If your looks will sale a ppv and they can milk it marketing wise...why purposely get hurt just for the sake of getting hurt. I have my questions & suspicions about Elizabeth’s death but as a talent I think ppl are way too hard on Lex for not being a 10 wrestler because he was booked that way based on his looks. Take it up with Herd,Rhodes,McMahon or Bischoff...they all continued hiring him despite his lack of in ring ability.
I will always 💘 u lex!!!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
😘
😘
Lex is awesome! Such a humble guy.
This is a great interview. I love Lex. Out of curiosity, did they get more into his WWF run? It seemed like they completely glossed over it in this clip but I don't know if they went back and asked more about it later. Thanks for posting this.
Yes Dave they did in both of his shoot interview's I didn't want to included a lot of him talking about his WWE run because I want RF to still be able to make money from his shoot.But you never know maybe one day I will be able to post the whole shoot thanks.
Luger is hammered
Look at that face, how can anyone hate that face?
Luger could have been a reigning champion with his look. Love the torture rack too
Lex Luger was the most popular wrestler of the 90's. Got as big or bigger pops than Hogan, Rock, Austin or Sting. Has never gotten the credit he should.
I agree completely he get's so much hate. It's crazy people seem to forget how over he was.
He was awesome but 1999-2000 that's when Lex started going downhill
He's OOC's boy, so I think he'll get more popular.
2018 lex express story arc
It seemed to me that he was extremely popular for the most part until about 99-2000 then his star faded. But he made a lot of money in wrestling (something a lot of people can't claim) had one of the best bodies in wrestling (probably THE best at 1 point) and was a major star on the national level for over a decade. One of the few guys to even beat Hogan clean as well (post Hulkamania)
Lex before the interview:
"Ok but no matter what you ask, I'm not throwing shade on anyone."
Lex seems a cool guy never talks crap about anybody hats off to the man.
Lex Luger is the man.
Good interview my friend and would love to hear more from Lex Luger
I believe everything Luger said here except for the Palumbo/O’Haire thing. I think it was sarcasm.
I agree
Damn he was pilled out of his mind here
Great stories
Lex, will you be my hero?!
I'm inclined to usually doubt some stories in shoot interviews, but I think the one at 37:00 is legit. Buff Bagwell said the same thing in different words in his shoot interview that took place before this one.
Underrated legend
Lugers book WRESTLING WITH THE DEVIL is amazing
crazy dusty rhodes is dead that man was a legend my grandpa loved flair and dusty my gpa got me into wrestling i grew up watching razor and the kid ,doink and hbk. and on saturday nights flair and dusty,kevin sullivans wacky griup. then the monday night wars.dusty truly was a character tho im glad we got youtube and legends will never die.
sweet hat
Such a good man.
Eric said he undercut Luger on his return contract in 1995, wonder if that is true.
I think it is I heard when he came back he was getting less money then he was the last time he was there I think it was $50k a year as a top main eventer he took a huge pay cut from his wwf contract pay it was a steal for wcw
right!
So fn good. Hof.
Wasn’t he microwaving hamburger helper while Elizabeth was shooting whiskey and Xanax?
What year was this? It was before Lexs spinal paralysis but was it before Miss Elizabeth passing?
It was a very interesting interview. I'm just so disappointed for lacks how things turned out for him in life. That makes flare not putting a belt on a meaningless at this point because of all the problems Lex has had since 2003.
2004
@@WCWFanForeveryou cut the WWF part from the video or is it the entire shoot?
@@mds56358 Correct I only licensed a portion of the shoot not the full shoot.
@@WCWFanForevercan you share the full shoot of Lex Luger on Google Drive. I'm a huge Luger fan. In return I can send you some wrestling matches in high quality.
I'm asking the whole shoot for personal views and not uploading it on TH-cam. You can put your Logo on the video and I wouldn't even mind that.
Man I love Lex.. I heard he was mean to fans and stuff my sister told me about him snapping at one of her girlfriends in the airport and that hurt my feelings as a youngster but I've always been a fan of the Total Package and especially now as an adult that understands the pressures of fame and what not and seeing the man he has become after his health issues. I love the guy...
Although, I do remember when Sting's leg was hurt and Lex turned on him with The Four Horseman and that crushed my 5 year old soul and I'll never forgive you for that Lex!!
🤣🤣🤣💪💪
Luger's selling was GREAT!!!!
She-Rides0 3The-Night
DOWWWWWF!
TellMeHowI'mWrong? BOWWWF
Lex would make an excellent politician
Lex is cool
Luger is stoned out of his mind here.
Lex doesn’t talk bad about anyone
The Melvin always says, when you have to explain to someone that you're speaking in the 3rd person, maybe you should stop doing it.
IM PISSED NOW
OOOAAAAAFFFF!!!!!
Everyone knew Lex couldn’t work even as a kid you knew he was the body builder guy but he’s like able so he got a pass
Fucking loved Harley Race
I’m the new total package now
Why was Elizabeth slamming’ Xanax and whiskey while he was microwaving supper?
He's got a defensive nature here. Now I think he's carrying the guilt still and really a good human being just in some bad situations
Wow what year was this ?????
He is right about Shane Douglas being a whiner, and thinking he should have been bigger than he was.
shane is right tho
Holy Shit Lex Luger looks like the thing from Tales From The Crypt. Flinging his hair without that hat would be doppleganger.
Black Sabbath lmao you’re right
Anyone know what year Lex did this interview?
If I remember right 04-05.
Thanks. 😊👍
"He's gonna rack him"
flair had to put a 25,000 dollar deposit on the belt they would not give him his money so he took it . it was his property
He didn't ask for the $25k until WCW asked for it after Ric appearing on WWF TV with it.
what a nut case,no wonder Brody refused to work with him
“Uhh, ummm” 🤦🏻♂️
I almost want to feel sorry for lex until I think about the time I waited with my younger cousin to see him. When he came to the door to leave he saw fans waiting to see him and was totally disgusted with us, so condescending toward us like we weren't even human beings..
he was probably in a bad mood and miserable
well dont feel bad . Yoko kayfabed me with know one other that afa in the room. Did not say a word of english. HOward JOhnson hotel new haven 1995.
you probably stank
@@LooseCan88 what did he speak he was Samoan and his whole family speaks English and everyone knows who his family is they've all wrestled for Vince I wwf/e
4% body fat!
Cameraman: Sit down, stay still and please, SHUT UP! Thank you.
People forget how dangerous luger was or is...he put goldberg out of wcw...forever , so far...
I think not bringing lex luger back. Was a Very Big Mistake!!!!!!!! For vince McMahon I think it help put the nail in wwe COFFIN!!!! also when he did not bring WCW TALENT IN. AN OLD SAYING GOES WHEN YOU DIG A DITCH FOR SOMEONE ELSE YOU ARE GONNA FALL IN IT YOUR SELF!!!!!!!!
Did he beat Liz?
knightfall209 the report said she had marks on her but lex said it was her tripping over the dogs leesh while taking the dogs for a walk. At that time they were both living fast. lex was pilled, roided, and boozed up, prob a lil coke on top of it . I would put my money those marks were from him.
knightfall209 I honestly never believed those stories about him hitting her, I heard an interview where he explained it and it sounded legit about her tripping over the dogs leashes. But I guess he's the only one that really knows the truth.
knightfall209... Yes... that's why WCW SUSPENDED MACHO MAN BACK IN 98-99... REMEMBER HER MISTERIOUS BLK EYE THAT GOLDBERG SUPPOSED TO HAD GAVE HER (KAYFABE) DURING THE "TOTALLY BUFFED" / GOLDBERG FEUD... LEX DID IT AND RANDY WAS ON THAT ASS BUT THAT STORYLINE WAS GAINING SO MUCH RATINGS & MOMENTUM... THEY TOOK MACHO OFF TV
@@keithcrockett5675 Randy Savage was off for knee surgery during that time. He wasn't suspended.
@@isitoveryet9525 come on Everytime a woman has blackeyes and face bruised they always trip and it's always dogs one time a cop said Everytime the story is I tripped over the dogs and I fell and hit my face and he said when does somebody trip and fall only on their face you break your fall with your arms or legs and he said the only thing they fell into was a man's fist and it's always their spouse/bf
Still terrible on the mic. WOW too many shots to the head?
Lex is under rated look at hulk hogan he was a horrible wrestler
Hulk is actually a good wrestler. Watch his WCW NJPW stuff.
@@NoelComiX Hogan was slow as hell and had zero athletic ability. Same applies to Austin.
The good old days when Lex was full of steroids looking all thick and mobile. Now I want to do a backflip in a pit of molten steel when I see the Mummy Express
He didnt have the best for Miss Elizabeths ...
1 of the best bodies in the business ever but by far 1 of the worst workers ever... couldnt tie his own boots without stinger
Tj Rayfield Na disagree, the guy wasn't that bad at all. Not a first class worker of course but when given the right opponents he could have good matches. He was a pretty solid athlete, that’s for sure.
Lex seems slow
He is slurring
Luger sucked. Overrated, no charisma/mic skills. Terrible
he could talk, just not enough offensive moves
