Having watched Lex Luger growing up as a wrestling fan, I was stunned watching this. Not just by the physical difference, which is shocking to see, but in watching Lex's manner of speaking as well. The spiritual/mental change is as drastic as the physical, and so very evident. I wish him well. If he has had a rebirth in Christ, you can only say Amen to that.
Same here. I was much more into Hogan; Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior. Lex’s testimony is truly inspirational though. It’s easy to see how much God has changed this man.
Atheism isnt a religion. Religions believe in a supernatural of sorts and have rituals, celebrations to it. An Atheist simply is someone who doesnt believe a diety(s) exist. Its not the fact that i never give up, its realizing that certain things dont add up, and believing what makes the most sense and knowing in my heart that i simply cannot be someone i am not. This in turn is comforting. Good day.
While you may want to comment on his change of appearance, pay attention to his change of heart. He spoke with humility and owned up to all the wrong he had done. That takes alot of humility. I am pleased and dare I even say proud that he and Sting (Steve Borden) were scripted friends in WCW and later in life both turned to the Lord Jesus Christ. A wonderful testimony
+Blakkset The thing I noticed most was how respectful and sweet he was to that elderly man. It was obvious that he had little knowledge of the wrestling world, but Luger not once seemed to talk down to him for not knowing like I see more often in similar interviews. People seem to have their own ques they look for when judging character, for me one has always been how patient people are with, and how they treat, the elderly.
Auf jeden Fall, wie er damals mir dem Hubschrauber kam und ich glaube mich zu erinnern, das alle dachten es wäre Hulk Hogan. Dann kam Lex und bämms da lag er der yoku.. Definitely, how he came by helicopter back then. and I seem to remember everyone thinking it was Hulk Hogan. Then lex came and bämms there he lay the yoku
It's funny how everyone is commenting on how Lex is small now because of the "lack of steroids." Lex had a tremendously serious spinal injury, which caused him to lose a lot of weight. If you think he can even do half of what he used to, you're kidding yourself. The man is very fortunate to still be walking, much less alive!
yeah he had a some hard times for sure- hope his innocent on the death on ms e. - then god may bless him- shocking how many wrestlers/managers are dead already!? :-/ this were my teenage heroes miss hem all--
@@andrewmacias8238 you are under the correct impression. A spinal injury sounds classier and more over than "hey I'm Lex Luger buy my new book wrestling with drugs." Imo I'd love to sit down all the wrestlers of that time and interview what they saw and did behind the scenes. Frowned upon? Well sure but shock value and content worthy? Absolutely
Nice of Luger to stay so focused and act naturally. Compare this to when that one interviewer told Vader wrestling was fake and he flipped out. As Taker just sits there off to the side like "yea I warned ya"
Me too, christianity is a beautiful thing, ive met great people from it. Don't let bad people turn you off of faith. Im glad lex found god, to help him find his way .
I am proud of the man he's become. He genuinely seems to have taken responsibility for his bad actions in the past. I wish him nothing but the best. I wish I could of met him.
I never comment on any of these videoes but as a believer in Jesus Christ I enjoy watching testimonies they are put on here for people to hear the good news how someones life has been changed by God my question is why do you even get on here and watch them and then make all these nasty comments? It's because you yourself are searching for something God loves each and everyone of you.
Very good insight into Lex' s life. I am very happy that he found the peace he was always looking for . This book is not just for wrestling fans . It is for anyone who has had tough times in there life
I was never really a lex luger fan but it's really good to see him surviving & mentally happy.. he could've ended up like so many other lost souls.. curt hennig,rick rude,kerry von erich,chris benoit, the list goes on and on..
Lex Luger definitely seems to be changed and humble now. It's kind of sad and tragic that he gained this mindset after losing everything. If he had the look of then with the mindset of now he would have done so much more in his career. Still I'm extremely happy that he's found his way and I hope the younger generation look at him as a lesson of where bad choices can lead you. Self responsibility is possibly the major factor between being a wrestling success and a wrestling tragedy.
Many people have "gained this mindset" only after losing everything - and being allowed to experience the consequences of sin to the point where we realize there is no choice but to turn to God before it's too late is a true blessing
Utterly shocked to see Luger now. After reading about what he had to go through, his illness, all that time in hospital has wasted him to the bone. It shows how thankful he is, to be still with us, after so many of his generation have left us. I hope Luger spends the rest of his life in peace, he deserves it after all those dedicated years entertaining people around the world.
I was into wrestling when I as around 10 years old and the only fight I can remember is when Luger threw Yokozuna out of the ring. It was unheard of that someone like Luger could lift this huge mountain of a man and throw him out of the ring. I thought it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen.
WolfHeathen - Chiptune Musician dude that's exactly what i think of everytime i see or hear lex luger.. I was completely blown away when i seen that as a kid
"When you're as foolish, bitter, spiritually blind, angry, unforgiving, malicious, and miserable a human being as Jim Cornette is, you say extremely stupid things, such as that there is no God and/or that He can't redeem and transform fallen human beings whom you happen to hate." -Me
Lex had unreal genetics and imo, definitely the best body in the business. He really did look amazing. However, roiding can tend to be very complex area. I have some education in biology and chemistry, and general anatomy, and i have been lifting over 20 years and been around MANY people on roids. Believe it or not, the best time to be on them, testosterone, GH, etc, is when youre a lot older, typically 40+, and the reason is, because your endocrine, glands, and hormones secrete much less, as well as aging, metabolism slows, etc. When your 19, mid 20s, you dont need to be flooding your body with it, and if you dont stack it properly or take the right ester mixes and all that jazz, it will shut down your own system, since it will adapt to the 'overdose', essentially. But honestly, if you do it in a proper clinical manner, at the right time in life and know exactly the kind to take pertaining to what your goals are, they are far from deadly, even beneficial. You see, the problem with Luger, Steiner, Dynamite Kid, Davey Boy, and many others, is it wasnt illegal back then. These guys loaded up on everything, most of them not even knowing wtf they were doing or taking, and yes, with the constant slamming, crashing, and banging nt the canvas, chairs, tables, cement, etc, it has a huge toll on the heart, hence why so many die young. And yes, he did have a major injury, so...he obviously cant do what he used to do pertaining to his old routines, and hes much older now as well. Im sure people heard the Warrior just died as well..unreal. Now, you look at him though, he was Lex's age roughly and looked fantastic before he died. Eh....i mean, hey, Lex found the right path in life, people just need to stop flaming him and forgive and forget. I dont believe at all he was a murderer, just ridiculous and no reason why he would kill her or anyone. He just lived a bad life in the fast lane, made mistakes, etc. None of us are perfect.
Heart is a muscle when people take steroid their heart gets enlarge and hard, that is main reason these guys die from heart attack . It is never a good idea to take hormones and illegal drugs.
"For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7 Brings joy to my heart to see Lex Luger born again and redeemed in Christ.
growing up watching Lex and seeing him now....makes me wonder when his steroid past will catch up with him, just like it did Piper. Its like a curse that returns at 55. RIP to all of the wrestlers who gave us everything and lost it all in the end.
@@3_KNIVES Yea that's weird he couldn't turn him, I mean Yokozuna only weighed over 560 lbs. With your commenting skills, it sounds like you could have turned him! ........ 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
It saddens me to see Lex in the physical condition he is, especially because a lot of the guys he was wrestling with back in the day are still wrestling and have still managed to keep up their physique for their age. I'm so glad he made a recovery and is doing well though!
Much love Lex!!! I remember this guy as a kid. He had a wrestling move that was similar to Brock Lesner's, where he would put you on his shoulders. It was absolutely amazing. He's a changed man. Much respect. Thank God he is able to walk...
That's good to hear that Lex changed his life for the better. Im glad to hear good news. Its so sad that so many of the wrestlers from the 80's and 90's are gone. It was an awesome part of mine and many others childhoods.
Ephesians 6: 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the powers, authorities, against the rulers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
People need to give Lex a break, sure he may have taken performance enhancing drugs that had an adverse effect on his body. But I actually respect him more now than when he was wrestling with that fantastic body in the 1980's and 1990's. He's found God and he's for real now.
I hate the way people talk about wrestlers who done steroids back in the day. Its like people think they deserve every tragedy in their lives because they took steroids at some stage in their careers.
Yeah I agree. To have a decent career as a wrestler you were basically forced to take them to get over your injuries because if you didn't you'd be out of work.
I had the privilege of interviewing Lex. He is actually a very humble and sweet guy. I guess it's true when they say tragic experiences can change a person's perspective and attitude towards others and towards life. I would so interview him again.
God is merciful and all praise to him. He wishes that all would repent and come to him through His son Jesus, the Christ. I am glad to see Lex has said yes to Jesus.
He really came off like a very respectful and humble guy. It's so good to hear someone take responsibility for his actions. I feel like I'm in the minority of people who can actually admit when I have done the wrong thing so it is really refreshing to hear that from another. I bet his entire outlook on life changed for the better when he got things off of his chest and started living a more positive lifestyle. Even people we have written off, not to say I wrote Lex Luger off (or even thought deep enough into his life) have more good in them than we could have imagined. Sometimes there is just some form of obstacle in their life preventing them from realizing their true potential.
anil2 he didn’t get a push? Dude are you serious? He slammed Yokozuna was supposed to be the next hulk hogan was is WWF video games with a 8 player roster if I’m not mistaken at least 3 4 games he got a push he just could keep up with it.
There were plenty of people in the bible that were not so good that God turned around, Maybe Lex might have been a bad person at one point in life, But maybe now he can give back to the world and do some good, Please let me know which of you here are perfect, and never wronged anyone or did anything wrong, I would love to talk to you!!!!
Why is it that people always find God when they are down and out, probably you have heard that everybody find God in prison , I would be really impressed if people find God when they are at top of the mountain.
transformer889 what I’ve realised in my life is that everyone is on a different path. You’ll find people that have walked with God who “didn’t find” God in the valley. The simple answer to that is you never found God, but God found you. And they may sound like a stereotypical response for people who “find God” in there valleys but it’s a real one. We all have different journeys. I found that the guy who was addicted to drugs for 20+years and is now a Christian is no different to the guy who was brought up in a Christian home and loved it out all of his life. We all have a story to walk, and to live. It’s just a matter if you want Jesus to walk with you on it.
Can we get over the fact wrestling is staged? I swear everytime i get into a conversation with someone about why i like wrestling we dont get much past wrestling is scripted. Yes... Yes i know... Thank you... Ive only been watching wrestling for close to 28 years now. I mean people are like stuck like a broken record.
The greatest parts of wrestling are possible precisely because it's staged. Breaking the fourth wall, the uncertainty of what is a work and what is a shoot, the live aspect introducing the wild card variable, the way the wrestlers tell a "story of the fight" that mirrors the story of their feud through the progression of the match......at its best there is a magical aspect of wrestling that is unique to any other form of entertainment, and it's evoked emotional reactions in me I haven't experienced any other way!
I just met Luger at Wrestlecon in Detroit Michigan. He is really a great guy and so friendly. I have his book lots of heavy stuff but he overcomes them. Though he may be in a wheelchair but at least he conquered his demons and give his life to God. When I met he was really happy. He always positive that shows what kind a great guy he is priase God.
***** I bought it and read it and I enjoyed it. Although my opinion may be biased due to the fact that not only am I Christian but also a fan of Lex Lugar and wrestling in general. But yes I would recommend it.
It's amazing (or maybe not) the juvenile comments here about Lex. He made his mistakes and now hopefully he is on a better path. His health has suffered but he seems to have the spirituality to deal with it. Hope he gets well
Once completely beautiful outside and now completely beautiful inside. His pomp and glory may have been stripped away but what he has now is worth so much more. I love this!
People that work out like Lex did...that is how they enjoy life. It is there hobby no different than fishing, model airplanes, hotrods or whatever. He did enjoy his life
Im not a believer, but Im glad Lex has something he can use as a means of being happy and clean. I also like how he talked highly of the wrestling fans. Good man.
Wow Lex just owned everything and was very articulate in every answer he gave. Respect! He didn't shy away from anything and owner it all. I really hope he is well and at peace
praise God, i hope and pray that all the wrestlers will know Jesus-the Savior of all mankind....gogogogo brother Lex Luger continue to share our Lord Jesus Christ to everyone Godbless
Outstanding interview: man....that was love just how pat continued to have a man crush almost on Luther and kept reminding him he was the prettiest wrestler in all of wrestling......that was testament to the Lord lifting you up with uncommon favor when you humble yourself under His hand and you can tell Luther is waking in the grace of God; may God bless his heart N recovery.
God bless you Lex, I to ruptured my L4L5 and pinched off my sciatic, I needed an ambulance to take me out of my home to hospital where I needed immediate surgery. I had a hard time walking again for months after, was hardest thing I have had to do. I am so glad for your recovery and wish you the best. I'm quite sure he won't read this, but in case he does 😁👍
reed richards yes only some young punks would be pushing comic books in the man's face...anyone that is older is a little more mature about things and would most likely realize the story of the video instead of focusing on 1 mistake that a man that is 80 made...
Captain Mystikalz no one is pushing anything in anyones face, get a sense of humor. its funny that he made a point about something and didn't really have a grasp on the subject matter.
I remember seeing Lex in person in 1986 when he was in Championship Wrestling from Florida as he was the Southern Heavyweight Champion. He was my favorite and am happy he is content with life.
Everyone hates on Lex but all the interviews I watch he seems like a nice guy. Maybe he didn't "love the business" but he was over from day one. I'm glad he's found something to keep him on the right path.
Lex should have followed the path that his friend Sting lived by. I mean it was right in front of him the whole time. A lot of the wrestlers partied to hard and took pain killers and other drugs to get by but Sting was the beacon of truth and his best friend but it wasn't enough to make him understand it took bad decisions on The part of Lex and he paid a big price. People should learn from this story and find help if they need it.
raul9599 nothing sadder than someone who thinks the one outspoken religious wrestler should be some kind of idol to all wrestlers just because he is religious.

idc who did it.....im gonna miss you Miss Elizabeth :'(
R.I.P
That's good to hear that Lex changed his life for the better. Im glad to hear good news. Its so sad that so many of the wrestlers from the 80's and 90's are gone. It was an awesome part of mine and many others childhoods.
God bless you Lex
Lex. Luger should burn in he'll for what he did to Miss Elizabeth. ..
Ephesians 6: 12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the powers, authorities, against the rulers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
I miss the nWo wolfpack. Im old :(
That makes two us buddy.. :(
MrSkeezymak
hey yo
MrSkeezymak count me in too! I miss that era:(
MrSkeezymak me 2 bro me 2
Good old days.
People need to give Lex a break, sure he may have taken performance enhancing drugs that had an adverse effect on his body. But I actually respect him more now than when he was wrestling with that fantastic body in the 1980's and 1990's.
He's found God and he's for real now.
He seems extremely humbled and modest now. Some of us need to go through that I think.
Thank you! The past is the past. We can't do anything but ask for forgiviness of our sins and try not to repeat the same sins.
M Da Martian True words
+Juhani VS. Well said
Despite having a past with drug abuse he actually now works with WWE on their wellness policy program.
Im happy for Lex , hes been through a lot and seems like to be in a good place in his life
I hate the way people talk about wrestlers who done steroids back in the day.
Its like people think they deserve every tragedy in their lives because they took steroids at some stage in their careers.
Yeah I agree. To have a decent career as a wrestler you were basically forced to take them to get over your injuries because if you didn't you'd be out of work.
I had the privilege of interviewing Lex. He is actually a very humble and sweet guy. I guess it's true when they say tragic experiences can change a person's perspective and attitude towards others and towards life. I would so interview him again.
Very humble guy made mistakes and faced up to them...
LOL!!! I love how he introduces him as Lex Luthor. Hilarious.
And Lex Luthor was in SUPERMAN, not Batman as Robertson stated.
Well he corrects himself and says Luger based on the german name
I'm so glad by Gods grace Lex got his life together and even though he's in a wheelchair hes happy and at peace.
God is merciful and all praise to him. He wishes that all would repent and come to him through His son Jesus, the Christ. I am glad to see Lex has said yes to Jesus.
Experience changed him, not god. God is responsible for all evil as well as all good...
1987dfa , your wrong. God is sovereign over all things. We are responsible for sin and evil in the world.
LOL
He really came off like a very respectful and humble guy. It's so good to hear someone take responsibility for his actions. I feel like I'm in the minority of people who can actually admit when I have done the wrong thing so it is really refreshing to hear that from another. I bet his entire outlook on life changed for the better when he got things off of his chest and started living a more positive lifestyle. Even people we have written off, not to say I wrote Lex Luger off (or even thought deep enough into his life) have more good in them than we could have imagined. Sometimes there is just some form of obstacle in their life preventing them from realizing their true potential.
Lex Luger was always my favorite wrestler as a kid. So sad to see what's happened to his body, glad he's still alive though with so many greats dying.
What a lovely man. Never got the push he deserved with WWE!
anil2 yes he did. He got a huge push. Vince wanted him to be the next Hulk. He just never really got over despite his push.
Yes he did. Pushing steroids.
Yeah giving the guy his own bus, “the Lex Express” and leading up to mania wasn’t a push? Oh wait, my bad. You’re trolling.
anil2 he didn’t get a push? Dude are you serious? He slammed Yokozuna was supposed to be the next hulk hogan was is WWF video games with a 8 player roster if I’m not mistaken at least 3 4 games he got a push he just could keep up with it.
There were plenty of people in the bible that were not so good that God turned around, Maybe Lex might have been a bad person at one point in life, But maybe now he can give back to the world and do some good, Please let me know which of you here are perfect, and never wronged anyone or did anything wrong, I would love to talk to you!!!!
Why is it that people always find God when they are down and out, probably you have heard that everybody find God in prison , I would be really impressed if people find God when they are at top of the mountain.
He who cast the first stone....
transformer889 what I’ve realised in my life is that everyone is on a different path. You’ll find people that have walked with God who “didn’t find” God in the valley. The simple answer to that is you never found God, but God found you. And they may sound like a stereotypical response for people who “find God” in there valleys but it’s a real one. We all have different journeys. I found that the guy who was addicted to drugs for 20+years and is now a Christian is no different to the guy who was brought up in a Christian home and loved it out all of his life. We all have a story to walk, and to live. It’s just a matter if you want Jesus to walk with you on it.
what a change, not just physical but spiritual.. he's become so likable, i wish him well....
Christians in my experience,
true christians are the best prople I ve met,that s all I can say about that.
You don't have to be a Christian to be a good person though.
you can see he is at peace with himself
still remember lex lifting yokozona in one of the matches,Miss the 90's...
God bless 🙏😇😇😇 Mr. Luger!! Stay in the fight man, life is hard, but you have to keep on pushing and keep on praying!!
He seems happier now as a partially crippled man than he ever did as a 6 foot 5 adonis...incredible.
Romans 6:21-22. Amen.
I m glad he's on a better path now and I'm glad that he realizes that the bad choices he made using drugs effected Elizabeth and caused her death..
I am short circuiting! He is so different from how I remember him. He seems so humble.
So glad he turned his life around.
Can we get over the fact wrestling is staged? I swear everytime i get into a conversation with someone about why i like wrestling we dont get much past wrestling is scripted. Yes... Yes i know... Thank you... Ive only been watching wrestling for close to 28 years now. I mean people are like stuck like a broken record.
Yeah like soccer ain’t arranged lol
The greatest parts of wrestling are possible precisely because it's staged. Breaking the fourth wall, the uncertainty of what is a work and what is a shoot, the live aspect introducing the wild card variable, the way the wrestlers tell a "story of the fight" that mirrors the story of their feud through the progression of the match......at its best there is a magical aspect of wrestling that is unique to any other form of entertainment, and it's evoked emotional reactions in me I haven't experienced any other way!
I just met Luger at Wrestlecon in Detroit Michigan. He is really a great guy and so friendly. I have his book lots of heavy stuff but he overcomes them. Though he may be in a wheelchair but at least he conquered his demons and give his life to God. When I met he was really happy. He always positive that shows what kind a great guy he is priase God.
This man has truly done, and seen it all.
I'm so glad to see Lex Luger has found God to help him get his life back together.
I'm gonna buy this book now.
+Noel Lopez Great!
+Noel Lopez did you buy it
Jumbo Gincredible yes i did
+Noel Lopez Have you read the book and was it worth it?
***** I bought it and read it and I enjoyed it. Although my opinion may be biased due to the fact that not only am I Christian but also a fan of Lex Lugar and wrestling in general. But yes I would recommend it.
It's amazing (or maybe not) the juvenile comments here about Lex. He made his mistakes and now hopefully he is on a better path. His health has suffered but he seems to have the spirituality to deal with it. Hope he gets well
Pretty sure it's 'drop and give me 50'. 30 push ups isn't really that hard (30 sets of 30 is, though).
Chris L it isnt'..I'm fat and out of shape and I can do 30 push ups
Chris L 30 sets of 30 is definitely insane lol
@@PHOENIXQ2024 three sets of 50 is hard I couldn't imagine 30 sets of 30
Most people can't do 30
Once completely beautiful outside and now completely beautiful inside. His pomp and glory may have been stripped away but what he has now is worth so much more. I love this!
He's proof that workout too much is pointless, it will die out. Enjoy life.
People that work out like Lex did...that is how they enjoy life. It is there hobby no different than fishing, model airplanes, hotrods or whatever. He did enjoy his life
Monroe D exactly! !
Im not a believer, but Im glad Lex has something he can use as a means of being happy and clean. I also like how he talked highly of the wrestling fans. Good man.
Gods maybe not though with you yet. You're on a journey and god has not entered your journey just yet. But he will.
He seems very appreciative.
Wow Lex just owned everything and was very articulate in every answer he gave. Respect! He didn't shy away from anything and owner it all. I really hope he is well and at peace
Praise God for such a great testimony! I remember watching Lex in WWF a long time ago!
Wow, incredible interview and I hope Lex stays on track!
Lex is awesome!!!
God Bless.
So encouraging! God seeks out the lost.
praise God, i hope and pray that all the wrestlers will know Jesus-the Savior of all mankind....gogogogo brother Lex Luger continue to share our Lord Jesus Christ to everyone Godbless
mark diastan I am with you on that brother
RIP Miss Elizabeth, the most prettiest girl I have ever seen on this planet in 55yrs...
respect and glad he is still alive.
Outstanding interview: man....that was love just how pat continued to have a man crush almost on Luther and kept reminding him he was the prettiest wrestler in all of wrestling......that was testament to the Lord lifting you up with uncommon favor when you humble yourself under His hand and you can tell Luther is waking in the grace of God; may God bless his heart N recovery.
So glad he found Jesus that's the most important thing in our lives.
I love Lex more now than when he had the fabulous bod! Cause now he has a heart of gold and he’s a man of God!
lex luger is a legend !!! absolutely my favourite !! the best body build ever in wwe !!
TH-cam name murderer ?? he has nothing to do with his wife's death !!!! and he will be inducted to the hall of fame !!!
TH-cam name even if he is to blame or not !! lex luger for life !!! forever
TH-cam name i dont care about your opinion !! luger is and will forever be the best ever
God bless you Lex, I to ruptured my L4L5 and pinched off my sciatic, I needed an ambulance to take me out of my home to hospital where I needed immediate surgery. I had a hard time walking again for months after, was hardest thing I have had to do. I am so glad for your recovery and wish you the best. I'm quite sure he won't read this, but in case he does 😁👍
lex im glad to see you are walking with the lord you were a great wrestler your friend in christ
Amazing story. Great to see people grow from their past experiences and past decisions.
Hey Pat,lex Luther was in Superman peckerhead not Batman....
I remember watching Lex Luger wrestler when i was a kid he was my favorite. Really warms my heart to see that he and wrestler sting found GOD.
Did he say that lex luthor was from batman?!?!?!?!?
Yes he did.
Zilla Stomps! 😂😂😂😂
DC verse
Zilla Stomps! well he is quite old and forgetful!!
Who cares how a man finds inner peace. He is alive and smiling, glad to see it.
Man, I can't watch this any more...
Amazing story. Thanks. God bless you.
Lex Luther is a Superman villain old man, get your facts right.
is that all you learned from this video?? can't an old man make a mistake without some young punk pushing comic books in his face
Captain Mystikalz young punks? superman is over 75 years old.
reed richards
yes only some young punks would be pushing comic books in the man's face...anyone that is older is a little more mature about things and would most likely realize the story of the video instead of focusing on 1 mistake that a man that is 80 made...
Captain Mystikalz no one is pushing anything in anyones face, get a sense of humor. its funny that he made a point about something and didn't really have a grasp on the subject matter.
reed richards
get out of here you young punk with your comic books!...go read a real book
I remember seeing Lex in person in 1986 when he was in Championship Wrestling from Florida as he was the Southern Heavyweight Champion. He was my favorite and am happy he is content with life.
awesome guy. God bless him
Did anyone else notice how Pat was really digging Lex? He is definitely a real wrestling fan.
all jokes aside, great recovery by lex luger.
not a fan of this show but Lex brought me here. I am happy to see him doing as well as he is and his peace he seems to have received.
total package Lex Luthor from Batman lol
what a humble guy. with a inspirational story.
Luger 4 Hall of Fame
Everyone hates on Lex but all the interviews I watch he seems like a nice guy. Maybe he didn't "love the business" but he was over from day one. I'm glad he's found something to keep him on the right path.
Lex should have followed the path that his friend Sting lived by. I mean it was right in front of him the whole time. A lot of the wrestlers partied to hard and took pain killers and other drugs to get by but Sting was the beacon of truth and his best friend but it wasn't enough to make him understand it took bad decisions on The part of Lex and he paid a big price. People should learn from this story and find help if they need it.
raul9599 nothing sadder than someone who thinks the one outspoken religious wrestler should be some kind of idol to all wrestlers just because he is religious.
