The True Story Of Lex Luger's Failed WWE Mega Push

Was Lex considered 'handsome'?

I remember when Lex slammed Yokozuna and how exciting it was. I was a huge fan of Lex and almost stopped watching wrestling when Vince screwed him. If it hadn't been Bret my other favorite wrestler set to win I would have stopped watching.

I started watching wrestling when lex was the narcissist 😂💪🏿

There's not to many guys who are jacked up and is a good worker unless you have high school college wrestling background because you look the part it doesn't mean that you got the part

It's shouldn't have taken this to say this . The push failed because lex wasn't a likeable person. His best work came as heel.

The Narcissist was the man.

Makes sense fr Brett was that guy and Vince definitely went with anybody but him

Bret Hart #1

I always hated John Cena. Not sure what people saw in him.

The Lex Express 🚍 could've left a triumphant legacy + memorable fued with Bret, after Luger's initial push in July '93.

So, if history was to be re-written perhaps..... 🤔

LEX would have been better as, a "heel" or a "anti hero" compared to the "Lex Express" but when he slammed, Yokozuna, that was, AWESOME!!!

Back in 1993, Japan was viewed in the same way Homer views Ned Flanders. They were that acquaintance of yours that isn't really hostil to you, but is better than you at pretty much anything, so you hate them. Japanophobia was quite big in the late 80's and early 90's because they had become better at capitalism than America, and Americans were fearful that Japan would take over with their companies.
At least, that's how I understand it.

The creative process for WWE is take whatever Vince says & smile say it a great idea then throw it out. Then when he says something about it convince him it was his idea & he's a "genius"

The rock and stone cold saved the wwf

I never liked lex...

Lex Luger had the charisma and personality of a wall.

Lex had no personality

What’s that picture of Vince putting the belt on Luger from?
