Lex Luger Then and Now

[njflex]

bbing and wrestling have the same addictions and problem's.wrestler's have bigger venues and more money at stake.

[BroadStreetBruiser]

Ain't that Vanilla Fudge they are reforming?

Bogert and Appice were the rhythm section for Vanilla Fudge and formed Cactus which was supposed to include Jeff Beck before he got into his car accident and Rod Stewart. They used two other good bros 

[Big Lee]

Jesus, what happened to him?

[chaos]

No, he didn't.
Sid Vicious tried to stab Arn with scissors.

I think Sid DID stb Arn with scissors, in a hotel bar.

[Thin Lizzy]

There is no reason in the world, this man should not be sitting on a beach somewhere eating bon bons with money in the bank. 

Big time legal bills plus no income for a few years burned up his bank account.

the only man to bodyslam 500 lb yokozuna

he always claimed 4% bodyfat too

[M75]

Good to see that he is getting his life in order.

[BayGBM]

Good to see that he is getting his life in order.

He's 49 now.  Game over. 

[phyxsius]

I hope his basement is better than Tamali or DA's

[SDMF]

ICOPRO--"You gotta want it!!"

[nycbull]

Those on the circuit were a family, "a dysfunctional family" he said. Everyone wants a piece of a superstar. "There's a lot of leeches, losers, cruisers and abusers."

Can this be true for bodybuilding too?

[WhiteCastle]

Agreed.

People always grab on to religion when they hit rock-bottom . Let's see if he stays with it.

It seems like every former wrestler out there becomes a born-again Christian.  Look at this list:

Half the people in the sports section are former wrestlers.

[gatrainer]

Agreed.

Thats because sometimes it takes you to hit rock bottom before you find it.  One usually gets all f*cked up because of their total selfishness.

[The Squadfather]

brutal 15 inch arms.

[Kwon]

trust me, lex was the most dysfuctional of all the family members.

Do explain, do you know the man in person?

[SS]

He was a legit nut. He tried to kill Arn Anderson with a pair of scissors.

see now that's hot!

[MCWAY]

Lex burned a major bridge when he left wwe for wcw...once you cross vince you're pretty much done.  I heard he bulked up to about 300lbs right before elizibeth died in an attempt to get back into the wwe cause vince is always looking for "freaks".

he had a good build, I remember when he was supposed to do the wbf show....

The Ultimate Warrior "crossed" Vince McMahon on multiple occasions, yet McMahon gave him opportunities to redeem himself.

Actually, Ahmed Johnson slammed (a much heavier) Yokozuna in 1996.

Lex has been saved and is a virtual preacher now. Religion seems to help some people but I think this is an illusion. It all seems like a rationalization. He talks like he is a sensible guy now.

Agreed.

I hope he does. Like many other people, Luger thought that worldly things would make him complete or fill a certain void in his life. But, as he put it, wealth and fame can give you more ways to be miserable. From the looks of things, Luger's possessions owned him, rather than the other way around. You can easily "hit rock-bottom" without losing your wealth. Look at his relationships with his now ex-wife (and his kids), and with Miss Elizabeth.

If Luger is legitimately seeking a relationship with the Lord, he'll be fine. If he thinks that being saved is a "quick fix", he won't.

[The Squadfather]

yes, for the most part, lex was a pumped up primadonna with no personality and void of real wrestling skills. from what i observed, few in the business respected him as a wrestler or a person. he burned one too many bridges.

notice how no one in the business has tried to assist him.

that speaks volumes.

bullshit.

[BroadStreetBruiser]

bullshit.

dude, when your finsher is a running elbow i think that says something. ever tried to take out a 260lb man with a running elbow? !?!?!?!?!?!?

[Rearden Metal]

LOL that does sound retarded. What if you hit your funny bone!

[BigSexy50]

His finisher was the "Torture Rack".

Does he get any disability form the NFL?  He used to play for the Rams.

[Deadpool]

no.

Two months away from winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, after a show in Blackburn, Lancashire during a tour in the United Kingdom, Eudy was involved in a hotel bar scuffle with Arn Anderson. Sid attacked Anderson outside of his hotel room. Eudy stabbed Anderson over 20 times with a pair of safety scissors. Both were rushed to the hospital and survived the incident, Anderson suffered stab wounds to the face, chest, arms, stomach, and back.

[bmacsys]

No, he didn't.
Sid Vicious tried to stab Arn with scissors.

Yup, brainlock on my part. It was Psycho Sid. Ever see the video where his leg snaps in half under the full force of his weight from the top mrope?

[natural al]

The Ultimate Warrior "crossed" Vince McMahon on multiple occasions, yet McMahon gave him opportunities to redeem himself.

once he came back to the wwe, then he wrastled in wcw and since vince bought them he hasn't stepped foot in a ring.  there is even a vid out there about how bad the warrior has screwed up his own career cause he's a nutcase.  if vince did give him another chance iit's cause he could make $$$ off of him.  that's the only reason
