Lex Luger: An American Hero

[Kwon]

PIP Attitude Era! I didn’t know how good we had it at the time.

Why was it called "Attitude"-era?

[Humble Narcissist]

Why was it called "Attitude"-era?

Because everyone had a bad attitude.

[Kwon]

Because everyone had a bad attitude.

Didn't people have a bad attitude in the 80s as well?


Road Warriors, Demolition, Nasty Boys, Warlord, Barbarian etc?

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.

Rude could’ve written the best autobio ever…such a shame he passed before wrestlers started doing shoot interviews.

LUGER  in the gym scenes looks like a small matt mendenhall

Luger reportedly had a 550 bench

seems a tad expensive for a bench..

That was the going rate in the early 90s for a commercial grade bench.

Yes, but they didn't coin the phrase.

Florida Championship Wrestling was GREAT!! Loved it!!

Sure he did

You can still watch matches on Youtube. I grew up watching Georgia Championship Wrestling and loved Gordon Soley. Had no idea he was a commentator for CWF as well until Youtube. There are stories about him and some wrestlers carpooling back and forth from Tampa to Atlanta every week. I guess he was a speed demon on those trips.

Now he has a 550 credit score.

Luger killed Miss Elizabeth. Karma was swift.

In all honesty, it appears she was well on the road to meeting her demise anyway from her own addictions.

Most addicts die on the streets. However, there are many well-off addicts out there as well.

Money, buys you time.

Alcoholic’s make up the majority of addicts, you’re seeing a lot of dead wineo’s on the streets?

The majority of addicts are food addicts. Just look around.

Its strange. Have you ever seen these YouTube videos of guys taking on massive eating challenges? Many of them are relatively skinny. Do they immediately throw up once they get off of camera? If not, then it certainly gives credence to cheat days.

If you are exercising and eating right for 6 days, then the 7th day won't matter.  It actually stimulates the mind and body.

I still don't know how these guys don't puke after these challenges.

Literally pounds of food.

Good point but that destroys Shippo’s argument that wallet addicts die on the streets.

What's a wallet addict?

Wrestling and bodybuilding peaked in the 90s.

You are actually very dumb. A true alcoholic would do almost anything to get that next drink. Lie, cheat, steal,

Many also do things that they normally wouldn't do, while under the influence.

Alcohol is legal. Alcohol doesn't involve smoking something or shooting something into your veins, so it mostly flies under the radar.

Alcohol, ruins just as many lives as other drug addicts.

But it's advertised on national TV, and is prominent in almost every movie and TV show, these days.

Now you see why prohibition became such a problem. People weren't going to give up drinking.

I meant food. I’m not sure why wallet is there.

Do you have a hard time maintaining your thoughts?

Please educate us, alcoholic’s would do a number of deplorable acts for their next drink? Are you talking about spending all their money on alcohol and then robbing a liquor store for a fix or are suggesting a straight man would suck off another man for a beer? Is that type behavior normal for drunks, like it is for hardcore drugs?

Speak from your experience.

You do know when the prohibition took place they were running advertising on tv, you know why right?

Did you ever think the prohibition failed because of multiple reasons; it was taking away a right (not just an American right but one that existed throughout history, it was poorly planned and to your point it was a proven industry.

I watch that Leah Shutkever  stuff her face on Youtube. She is a bodybuilder and pretty hot. I'm sure she pukes up the meals after eating them.
