Unfortunately Luther Reigns had a really bad addiction to painkillers and steroids which he had been taking even prior to WWE, and in 2010 he had a stroke which he attributes to the abuse. Fun fact though, Luther Reigns was actually in WCW and had a match with Roddy Piper on Nitro. His ultimate reason for leaving WWE was creative differences with the writers (specifically Paul Heyman). Heyman wanted Reigns and Renee Dupre to form a tag-team on Raw while Reigns wanted to join Christian and Tomko and/or form a tag-team with Tomko, and when he was told no he asked for his release. In less than one year with the company however, he had feuds and matches with Eddie, Undertaker, Rey, Booker T, and Big Show. You can't ask for a better "rookie" year than that.
Luther had Ruthless aggression, he had the brutuality.the intensity. He was a very big guy. He was a good worker. He wasn’t the best. But he deserved more than he got.
Luther also has a brutal finisher. The one where he did it on Eddie Guerrero outside of the ring looked painful. (The match when Big Show gets tranquilized and shaved)
He was really good on the mic. Very intense speaker. A lot of big dudes in wrestling try too hard to sound intimidating but it came naturally with Luther.
Then the Honor Society quietly split when Luther Reigns and Mark Jindrak had a falling out on T.V after losing to Taker at No Way Out and both of them were dropped from Smackdown.
I liked him and Tomko.
Wantes to see em fight, battle of the bodyguards.
Apparently Luther wanted to form a stable with Tomko and Christian but Paul Heyman refused.
@@kevinhenry4047 it would'e been good, or maybe even Cristian with Tomko vs Angle and Luther.
Luther Reigns and Tyson Tomko woulda been a cool tag team💪👍

He was on the documentary prescription thugs... just an awesome documentary by the same guy who made bigger stronger faster
Luther should have held at least one title in WWE. Should’ve had him win the tag straps with Jindrak.

I agree
@@DGS_1992 fun fact, Kurt angle based his 2004 general manager heel Persona on lex Luthor from superman! He said so

@@relentlesschaos7445 he did have a brutal Finisher. I’d say Eddie was cross afterwards that Luther hit too hard!
Why are you even trying to talk
Paul London has a great Luther Reigns impression
Luther reigns sure had potential at the time, at least in the beginning in WCW as Horshu he had potential before in WWE
He wasn't bad on the mic either from what I remember.
He was really good on the mic. Very intense speaker. A lot of big dudes in wrestling try too hard to sound intimidating but it came naturally with Luther.
On JR podcast he mentioned Luther Reigns had substance abuse issues which is why he didn't become a star in WWE
He had peas once.
I really liked his finisher.
Can Kurt Angle talk about working with Mark Jindrak?
Kurt Angle never responds to youtube comments. You're trying too hard.
"I HAVE MENINGITIS!!!"
Fix...ALL OF IT!!
He said the thing
Shelton benjamin and Luther reigns would of made a good mix tag team
Drugs are bad, shame, he and Tomko should have had major careers
Wanted to see em wrestle, battle of the bodyguards.
Then the Honor Society quietly split when Luther Reigns and Mark Jindrak had a falling out on T.V after losing to Taker at No Way Out and both of them were dropped from Smackdown.
especially when Mark knocked him out on Live TV by accident I think.. maybe lol
Hello
Luther Reigns has had peas before
Makes me wonder how Roman Reigns got the Reigns name when they had Luther Reigns before
Roman and Luther are kayfabe step-brothers
Horshu strikes again
probably because he didn't take to Vince's chairman in Guerrilla.. then he was de-pushed
Who?
