yeah he was almost paralysed at one time also

pinched nerve that kept him from walking

ALL DRUGS (recreational)

Luger had a great physique for a pro wrestler. Maintained unbelievable conditioning year round for many years. He was/is a pretty heavy drinker and smoker from what I've heard.
Good to see Greg "The Hammer" Valentine in those pics too.

pinched nerve that kept him from walking
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_Luger
On October 19, 2007, Pfohl suffered a nerve impingement in his neck that led to temporary paralysis. He was at Stanford Hospital in stable condition. He underwent intravenous antibiotic treatment and was expected to make a full recovery.[124] Pfohl issued a statement thanking all of his fans for their continued support.[125]
Nearly a month after his "spinal stroke", Pfohl was finally transferred from California to an Atlanta hospital. He was still in a quadriplegic state, having no movement in either his arms or legs. Pfohl was scheduled to have hip replacement surgery the week before, had it not been for the stroke. Doctors had told him that they would be amazed if he was able to walk without the surgery.[126] As of December 2007, Pfohl still remains paralyzed.[127] As of June 2008, Luger is now said to be able to stand on his own for short periods of time and walk using a walker.

lugar was the epitome of "The Look"
he was the shits as a worker but would always get a push just because of "the Look"
I don't know if it was mentioned but Mickey Rourke said that he was looking to emulate lex lugar (look wise) for his role in the wrestler

Hell, Rourke looks much more like the other guy in the first photo...DDP !!
-
He's still bigger than Tom Prince! (and probably has functioning kidneys)
It's impossible for Tom Prince's bodyweight to drop below 240 lbs

I see it but i think rourke looks more like Jerry lynn

Lynn vs RVD baby ! Can't find much better than that.

they were the only ones who could do those type of matches ("spot fests") right, imho

All gimmick ;D

Wrestling seems to have killed off more "athletes" than any other "sport".
-

totally agree. They at least gave the impression of doing some damage...I can't even watch it anymore with the high-spot fests of now. Guys will take a chair shot and just shrug it off...then get pinned with some awful finisher with a catchy name...WTF? Give me a decent in match storyline...PLEASE!
-
Luger was a legit 6'3" and 280 at his largest. He averaged about 265 pounds. To think he is only 175 pounds now at 6'3" is a scary thought. This is a man who bodyslammed 500 pound Yokozuna and now needs to use a walker to get around.

I remember seeing terry Funk in 'Beyond the mat'. Sad to see - the guy had a job to walk, wrestling really does fuck up your joints.

jake roberts' daughter was the best part of that movie
me and my friends- I have this theory that she is probably a decent "lay" because-
a) she is/was fat and fat girls always go the extra mile
b) she had a tongue ring (no explaination there)
c) she has obvious daddy issues (most girls with daddy issues are "freaks"

Poor Lex . He could not work his way out of a paper sack. Jerry lynn on the other hand is very talanted.
We need a wrestling bord here at getbig and Ron should make me the mod.

Damn that's sad. :'(
Lugar in his heyday was awesome. Something sad about seeing people who, when you were young, looked like superhero's morph into aids patients. :-\
Fuck Im getting old.

Oh brother. If his are 17.5, The Rock's were 14 tops....haha

Yeah, but Squad I was about 12 at the time. A 6ft ripped 190 pounder would have looked like a superhero to me. ;)
-
hahahhaa, i don't know, dude was pretty good sized but i guess seeing 5'8" 290 pound pro bodybuilders has skewed my idea of what monster size really is.

Very true. I thought the same thing when I looked at pics of him...he looked huge when I was 13...but with his proportions compared to Ronnie, Dorian, etc... not so much. hahaha

I live not too far from Lex and it is truely a sad sight but i was glad to see that he was alive. Sting tried to help him years ago but Lex would not get off the roids, drinking and other drugs.

true i could care less about wrestling .today they worry about finishing match or getting to there dumb finish move,they don't even try to 'SELL' THE HITS OR PUNCHES much.today wrestling is fast paced and people start to boo if action is slowed,remember hulk hogan would lay for a good while in choke holds to sell crowd until they cheered then he waved the finger and shook until he broke hold,fans interest can not be held like that anymore.

here is a good example of how important hormones are in the life of an athlete and bodybuilder
no hormones = no bodybuilder at any level to talk about as in no good matuer and no professional
no hormones = no pro athlete in most other sports,,especially contact ones and track and field
-

Dude was 6'3". That was his OFFICIAL height in football. They boosted it by 2" for wrestling and he weighed between 265-280 pounds in his heyday.
-
Sing really did try to save him but he would not get off the roids or the lifestyle. Seeing him in Alphraetta, GA walking was a good sign though

I watched one of the actual shoot interviews for about an hour one day and laughed the whole time. His accent helps make it funny. I like the ones where he's out in public too. That would be a great reality show, screw Hogans...hahaha
