I used to love the Lex express rap.
In fact I'll put it on YouTube and Bluetooth it in my car when I go to the gym in a minute.

I must admit that the WWF/WWE have always had amazing production value. Regardless of it being "sports entertainment" versus wrestling of any sort, they have an amazing team behind them and I appreciate what they've meant for adults & kids of all ages.

This business has been around since the 1960s and well into present day (60+ years). You have to give it to McMahon and his family, they hit the mark.

They can be rented a lot longer if you aren't juicing as much as Luger was.

I first saw Lex in Florida Championship Wrestling, he was managed by Percy Pringle (who later became Paul Bearer in the WWF). He and Ravishing Rick Rude were tag partners for a minute.

 I suspect it's due to inbreeding and wrestling being strange bedfellows.   In other words..."It's REAL to me, DAMMIT!" is pretty much a slogan for fans of pro wrasslin'.   Many of those folk make me look almost average.  ;D

There was a thread on here about Lex working in a gym years ago,  where someone was in the gym when Lex was being loud while inclining 315 for reps, and some Asian kid asked if he was done or if he could work in. Lex made sure the kid knew it was 315 and the kid jumped in and repped it out while working up to a set at 405.

I always think of this story whenever a Lex thread is posted.

Luger wasn't particularly known for his strength like some of his colleagues were, but he looked phenomenonal for a tall guy.

Just had some business doings in the Western New York panhandle and was eating dinner right next to Lex at Carte Blanche in Hamburg NY.

He was in a wheelchair, ordered a steak, baked potato-loaded and had a piece of cheesecake for dessert.  What I found weird is that the meal was comped and he wheeled out of the restaurant, got out of the wheelchair put it in the back of his SUV and jumped into the front and drove off.

Lex was great as an arrogant physical elitist for Crockett.He dressed classic 80s BBer style. Vince turned him into a cartoon character:

Yeah a few years ago he was able to walk again but still needs the wheelchair. Freak accident on the whole situation causing the paralysis.

Hate to say it, but there is really nothing special in that first picture.  That could be any gym bro from any town.

He was really built right at the time he was trying to join the Four Horseman.

I think he was getting tested in the WWF. That was about the time McMahon was being investigated by the feds. His WCW/NWA look was much better.
