Just look at his eyes. When he was younger, there wasn't much life behind them.. Now, his eyes are so full of joy and personality. That really says it all.
Inner peace. Having to train and build himself up all these years the aggressive nature of the wrestling business too. All that gone now!
That's what I've noticed first too. He may be withered but he looks very happy.
Dude, he played a character back then. His character was emotionless, narcissistic and cool. So of course his eyes were "lifeless". Would've been total out of character for him to show this side of his.
@@mrblonde609 Nah, its not the same thing. They are all "characters", but they don't look lifeless. It would make sense if that was the case for all of them, but Luger was the only one like that.
He has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ now. I heard him speak in front of a small crowd (maybe 100 or so people) in a church in Georgia. He gave his testimony, and it was incredible. That relationship makes all the difference.
He’s truly refreshing to listen to. He’ has obviously come to terms with his life and put himself in a good perspective with his faith. I’m from Buffalo and saw a segment when he was on the news, he goes and helps people spiritually these days. You can tell Elizabeth’s death and his own hardships had an impact on him and some people come out of that for worse or don’t survive (like Elizabeth), he chose the path to try and come out a better positive person.
Lex Luger interviews. He never talks bad about anyone, class act
Rule number #1. Never judge anyone we all have issues.
Didn't expect Lex to come off as the most down to earth of all the shoot interviews I have seen. Good man.
Sid vicious, too
Because he fucked his health up and doesn’t have a choice anymore
@@TJV83 he changed and humbled before his health crisis.
You read my mind
@@TJV83 lots of unhealthy people that are bitter or aholes.
I can't believe this is the same guy who bodyslammed Yokozuna 26 years ago...it seems like yesterday to me.
Hip toss!
People can criticize how he became a kind human being. People can bring up his past faults. That’s fine and dandy. However, this is proof people can change.
Everyone makes mistakes we all learn from them.
Yes none of that matters from the past, hes changed and is a better person for it.
But then again there’s not one proven bad story about him
If anything, Lex might be one of the few to actually change as a person, and it not be an act.
Facts
And the sad truth is that the people that throw shade on him are just the people that still have some growing and changing to do
He and I worked out every morning for several months in 2005 or 2006 at his apt complex. He was the nicest, kindest, most wonderful guy. Very knowledgeable regarding working out ,eating etc. Great guy.
Dude, what a awesome experience. Did he give you any advice?
That's awesome😳
To this day Lex Luger is still my favorite wrestler.
Really?!?!? Lex Luger? On another note.... please tell me you got your name from the old Sega Genesis game.
i just meet him today at 5 guys in buffalo was supper nice.
@@americandiablo I met him at an autograph signing with Liz (second run with WCW). He was really nice to me. I also met Macho and he was a real grumpy dude who acted like he was unhappy to be there. Lex was happy to meet his fans. Liz was with him and she was real quiet, but nice also. It saddens me what happened to them both.
@Ninetendio Yeah. But the combination of steroids, recreational drugs, painkillers and drugs like cocaine is far worse.
Lex is so sweet, looking after his mom. Such a chill and kind guy and seems very grateful for all the opportunities he got in wrestling, contrary to what many people say about him. He talks about other wrestlers very lovingly. Doesn't bury anyone, total pro.
The Total Package!
I respect him for taking the high road on not bashing anyone or having room for negativity in his life, Mr. O' Connell.
That certainly makes him a class act to.me
Mr. Mark this interview sure changed my mind about lex .
Lex Luger in 1999 = Giant douche
Lex Luger in 2019 = Giant heart
What a lovely, humble man he is now
All due respect, I assume you didn't know Lex personally in 1999. He played his heel character well and part of that was probably carrying that over with the other guys, but most people who didn't like him prob think he was a weak in ring worker and it's more the lesser guys who trash lex with a beer in their hand in these motel shoot interviews out of jealousy, because of his perceived working ability and the pushes he got. Most top guys never had a problem with him and from my knowledge, he never backstabbed or screwed over any guys.
@@MrAitraining but he has a ego
Turning into a broke, shriveled up prune tends to humble a person
MrAitraining I also think he was a good wrestler idk why ppl say he couldn’t work because he def could. Watch his big matches from the late 80s early 90s he was a main event talent.
I never understand why ppl say he couldn’t work because he could.
alex kanyima ah yeah we all have egos
Love Lex Luger. Great guy, down to earth, openly honest with what goes on in his life. Bless him
Super honest, humble, not a bad word about anyone really... He's become a real elder statesman and gentleman... I was NEVER a Luger fan as a kid or since. I'm 40 now and a converted fan. What a cool guy
It's good to see him healthy again after his drug problems. He seems to have a lot of positivity in his life
Agreed, he seems to have his head back on his shoulders right again
He has become a Christian I think.
@M Perkins dude he's nearly 65 years old 😂😂 give him a break
@M Perkins spreading joy all over TH-cam aren't you dude 😂😂
@M Perkins He had a spinal stroke that has affected his health.
I know lex has been humbled by life but too see this evolution of a man is wonderful much respect
He's a piece of shit
John Anon he’s got a lot of baggage and I know the history but seems like all involved have paid a hefty price so you can enjoy this brother but I don’t
The peace is beyond description. I'm glad Lex got to have it.
Absolutely loved this interview. Lex really seems to be in a good place in his life. Thanks for sharing this with us. Amazing.
I was a member of his gym that he owned when it was in business for 7 years.
Lex was cool whenever I chatted with him.
I cant wait to see lex luger go into the hall of fame in wwe.
You'll be waiting quite some time.
He won’t go in due to the way he left, and the death of Elizabeth is not something the WWE want to be linked with.
@@MiningForPies wwe doesn't care about that sort of thing anymore. Besides china is in the hall of fame with dx and she was in 15 pornos as well as the way she left the company. And so many other people who left wwe without notice have gone in. And liz was a grown woman...lex luger isn't to blame for her choices. Lex will go in eventually just like vader and all the others who haven't been given the opportunity yet.
@@terrybrown5402 I don’t believe I blamed him.
Also staring in adult films is a little bit different from being linked with a death.
He was one of my favorites. I love that the bionic arm is true lol. I used to think he was going to kill someone with that thing. Man I miss being a kid lol.
It was a steel plate it wasn't an act
Me too
I am right there with you Cyrub. But also remember youngsters can't wait to act and become a grown up? Lol..A better different time. God bless.
That's so cool, he totally admits he was kinda jealous of Sting's first push. I'm in awe of Lex Lugar's honesty.
I really love that there are people like you who are documenting wrestlings history. There isn't many out there who are doing these long form interviews and it's tremendously insightful and the knowledge being given from some of the industry greats is top notch.
Agreed👍
Lex Lugar is a really cool dude these days. Humble and friendly. God bless Lex Lugar
In an interview Ric Flair called him a very smart man. I remember him well, Flex with Lex. It appears that he is broke now. It is sad to see him now, as I loved to see him on TV back in the day. He is such a nice humble man, who obviously is deeply religious and has Gd in his life 24/7. He is back in his hometown living with his mom, he is so lucky she is still alive, and it sounds like they have a wonderful relationship, That is such blessing. It is my impression that he made bad decisions, but now he is very content with his life. I would love to have a coffee with him in beautiful downtown Buffalo.
Broke? That track suit he’s wearing costs more than you make in a month.
Sounds like a date...rrrraaarrrr!!! Lol.
@@christophermichael6844 you sound like "The Nature Boy" just then man!!! Whooooo!!
They say he was wanting play soccer cause he always wearing those old school warm-ups all time?
best shoot by far, humble spirit no bashing other wrestlers, not being bitter, him and Rick Martell humble great shoots
Both retired early to convert to somewhere else. Most certainly connected
As a kid that grew up in the 80s when wrestling was in it's hay day Lex was my favorite glad to see him back on top
Just a wonderful human. All the best!
Lex has become a very humble and decent human being. I am happy that he has found God and happiness in life and is able to put the guilt and depression he had after the passing of miss Elizabeth in the past. I know he held a tremendous amount of guilt and sorrow over that due to all of the drug use and their way of living. Lex seems like a really good guy and I really am happy that he can live his life now.
Megalodon Unlocked how Lex Luger earn money?
Megalodon Unlocked ok thanks for the reply :)
Life threatening disease/ paralysis will do that to you. I'm glad he's turned it around also.

Please don’t say you think a god.
Great interview Hannibal.. Listening to everyone's experience going through the industry and how much they have learned having those experiences are great to hear. Thank you Hannibal. Listening to these interviews get me through the days 😄😃😀
Great interview as always Hannibal!!! Definitely watched this one from start to finish 💯✊
Great stuff Hannibal. Loving these in-depth interviews. Lex seems like an all-round honest and cool guy.
I remember being a kid and watching Lex wrestle Flair. They played it on rerun over and over on the local over-the-air affiliate and I watched it a dozen times. The torture rack was such a great finishing move.
What a nice dude. He will always be regarded in my mind as being worthy of being in the champions upper echelon regardless of whether he held a belt or not.
I love that he played high school football with Craig wolfley
The best channel on TH-cam, period. Much respect, Hannibal!
I always had a love/hate thing with Luger in the 80's and 90's. It's just a love thing now. Great interview.
That was a fantastic interview! Thanks and take care.
The bionic forearm into the torture rack for the win!
been looking forward to this being released!
i was waiting so long to watch this.this could be my favorite interview you had aside of the marty janetty interview
Great interview....Happy to see Luger doing well. Thanks 👍🏽
Lex really has turned his life around. Can't help but smile at how happy he is these days. Loved hearing him talk about his Buffalo roots too. Even him being a Manchester United fan didn't upset me! Great interview. Currently binging through all these after discovering the channel. Keep it up!
He looks like david lee roth
Who gives a shit.
Never take your health for granted the human body is strong but also fragile
Very true Tony. But everyone is different. Some people torture their bodies and live into their 90's. "What, the!!!???" Some suffer illness shortly after they expose themselves to the fast lane.
It's good to see him happy despite his recent health problems. Lugar did things his way. God bless Lex.
Luger seems very genuine. Very humble. I think that Lex was suffering from confidence issues in his early career and this was construed as him being confrontational with the fans and the locker room.
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this for weeks. Excellent interview with Lex Lugar. Thanks so much Hannibal
I really enjoyed this interview!! Great questions, Lex seemed honest and humble... Thank you!
Lex Luger and Sting were my all time favorites
Awesome interview. Watched the whole thing.
I absolutely HATED the Narcissist nickname. The Total Package was a spectacular nickname and never needed to be changed.
I really respect how Lex admits that he was very egotistical early in his career. He seems truly grateful that Sting gave him another chance and they became lifelong friends. Lex may have matured later than most people but ultimately he became a real gentleman and a true Christian. Many people who were out of control in their 20s and 30s never find that internal peace and live a turbulent existence right up until the day they put them in the ground.
Sting and Lex will always be linked. I remember in 1988 people were saying they were gonna rule the 90's.
What a great shoot interview with a childhood favourite.
I know with today’s fans it’s cool to hate guys like Lex but honestly I always was a fan of his. The only time he wasn’t over is after Vince killed him by that stupid finish at SummerSlam 93. I was glad he came back home down here in the south to WCW in 95. Guys like Lex, Flair, Sid, Steiner Bros. Road Warriors , Arn and Tully, Barry Windham , and Ron Simmons , even when they went to WWF they never felt like WWF guys , they were always NWA/WCW guys to me.
Glad to see he has turned his life around.
Great interview keep up the good work Hannibal 👍👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome interview, Devon. You're still the best!
What an outstanding interview Hannibal,you did a great job bro thank you
Great interview, so glad I got to meet him
Lex use to have one of the best physiques just amazing. He was a great heel because I couldn't stand him, but all heels are the nicest people outside the ring. He didnt talk trash about anyone.
That's a fallacy luger was a nasty individual ask around, he changed when he found God
Hump said luger never talked to Frank, he's lying
Good lord..an hour long broadway with a green Luger. Not even Flair could've made that work. I'm a Luger mark, but no one needs to see him in an hour long match. Great interview!
One of the biggest legendstars is the business, Billy!!!
One of the best interviews I have seen in a very long time. Bravo Lex!!!
Very very honest interview, you can tell that he had a spiritual Foundation even before he went through all his trials and tribulations, there are a lot of us that go The Prodigal Son route, but how many are able to live to tell the story of redemption.
Great questions! Good interview
What a changed person thanks for this one Hannibal 👍 thoroughly enjoyed it
Great interview..Always liked Lex Luger!😎
love this interview, Larry your one of the goat
Thank you for sharing
13 mins in, always great to hear Lex talk training and the gym.
This interview is phenomenal! Thanks Lex! Buffalo loves you!
Miss Elizabeth!!! Met her in Indiana at a dark match that Macho Man did in '91. I think right before Summer Slam or Survivor Series. Very kind.
@Stugots666x drop satan's horns if you dont want to end up with the deciever satan in hell later. Willingly accept God=Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and repent from your wrong doings while there is time. As wrong doers that we all are must do this while there is time.
I’ve seen so many shoots and it’s amazing to hear stories about how these legends started and how they worked and who they worked with and what they accomplished and now! It makes my respect for wrestling that much more greater!!!!!!
What a great interview. When Lex hit the scene in JCP and wanting to be an "associate" to the Horsemen, it was like, "Who is this Dude?...WOW!"
The Total Package Lex Luger was a great heel and a solid Horsemen. I like the fact that he was put with Ric, Tully, and Arn, trained with them and lived the Horsemen lifestyle 24/7. If Vince wasn't such a jerk, Ole and Lex should have been inducted into the WWE HoF with the Horsemen as well.
He a positive man! Enjoy listning to him.
Great interview!
Great interview
What a wonderful guy and as usual a fantastic interview.
I’ve heard ppl criticise Hannibal and the interviews, usually because his voice is quite and low, but I feel he is one of the few that actually can do an “Interview”.
Many like Conrad treat these shoots as a conversation, like they are the star and the person ppl want to hear from.
That’s not the case, that’s why I also like WSI but that is a little to much quick fire sometimes as if they are rushed and James often has his questions lined up and he can just go from one topic to another.
Hannibal on the other hand takes his time, he’s not afraid of a few seconds of silence which his guests often then often use to elaborate on the topic and story and we get far more insight and information.
I’m not sure if there is any of his interviews I dislike, he’s great at doing these and because of his inside knowledge doesn’t waffle on asking stupid questions that 90% of fans already know the answer too and don’t want to hear again.
So Hannibal my good man… Bravo 👏 bravo 👏 bravo 👏 this one especially was fantastic.
Lex comes across as a wonderful guy who’s gained humility and is a extremely humble and personal.
He seems very honest and genuine and is the complete opposite of the Lex we’ve heard described by two faced dirt birds like flair and others. ❤❤❤
Interesting career retrospective. I respect Luger's openness and honesty here... I was a fan since first buying a PWI with the cover "Lex Appeal" in about '88!!
I had that issue back then.
Now there's a redeemed character at peace with life.....he paid a very heavy price but pulled through and he's such a positive influence and a genuine soul
I feel humility can be a cover for something ugly under the surface, but lex does seem very forward and candid with the interview and I'm sure his relationship with Jesus is the reason for the forth coming attitude and demeanor, may God bless you and your family lex you inspired me to work out as a little boy and a lot of my peers were scared of my muscles because at 9-10 years old I built my own workout station and was working out daily and probably all wrong with the technical side of it but LoL 😮I got results but anyways thanks from the childhood memories lex
I agree, I am always very skeptical of people with extreme humility or even people who are overly positive. In my experiences, it seems more often than not whenever I've gotten to known these types, it turned out to be front. It's as if they have trouble being honest with other people, or even themselves and need to sugar coat everything; feel an extreme need to be accepted by others; or as you said are simply covering an ugly side of their personality. But Lex has gone through a lot over the past 15-20 years, so perhaps it is genuine. I do think it was pretty obvious he was not being completely honest about Miss Elizabeth's death though.
Love me some Lex. Rooted against him my whole childhood. The (my) four horsemen turning on him made me very happy. So, watching these videos you learn who people really are. Humble, respectful, nice guy who clearly has gained perspective as life goes along (like the rest of us). Thanks Lex, loved rooting against you all those years. Hope health is better going forward.
Hannibal=best interviews!
I would loved to have seen him on the NBA court. Lex is one of the Greats.
Great interview 👍
Merci pour la video
Fantastic interview
thank you
Great interview looking forward to seeing part 2.
Incredible interview.
Love Luger expression at 29:00 min mark ,the breaking of hulk hogan shin, lmao! Must watch to the end, really learned how great a athlete he was and nothing negative about anyone. Speaks volumes of goodness and how it was the entire pro wrestling career. Best of luck Mr. Luger.
This was a great interview thanks
Thanks
This man is an inspirational hero, such a class act
well, he told us back in 93 that he would be our hero.
Heroes 🤥🤥🤥
A true role model.
@@Turnheadcough Redemption is available for everyone.
Here is a man that’s found peace of mind. His ego has gone and he comes across as humble and grateful
Considering his shady past. It goes to show it’s never to late to reinvent yourself. And discover inner peace ✌🏻
I know everyone is saying it, but damn this is the best shoot I have seen. The energy and joy Lex projects is infectious. You can tell that he spends every second of every day being a student of life. Always looking to learn something new.
Lots of respect for The Total Package I’ve grown to appreciate his legacy as a wrestler. He doesn’t truly get the credit he deserves.
Lex and Sting were my heroes as a little kid. I remember feeling like shit when michael Hayes beat him at ww 89.
Me too, but Hayes only had the title a few weeks. Luger was the US Champion for most of those years 87-90
Lol.... Awesone!!!
GOD BLESS LEX THANKS FOR ALL YOUR RING WORK TOP MAN:)
I Met Him And Got His Autograph plus Had a Photo Taken with Lex Luger, Lex Luger Was a Cool Guy on that Saturday in February 1998 At the CowPalace in San Francisco
Lex is true gentleman. So many...and I agree...very humble. Seems so nice and appreciative. Loved him when I was growing up. Love him more now!
