@Man E Mr. J Not true. Lex was as over as any wrestler in the business in 97.

[@blueblur2273]

@Man E Mr. J I'm not arguing his wrestling abilities or mic work. I agree they weren't anything special. I only had an issue with you saying he wasn't ever a top tier guy. Also you don't necessarily need to have the 3 things you mentioned to get over. Look at Goldberg. Goldberg was the most over thing in WCW and he couldn't talk or wrestle. Sting was red hot in 97(probably the hottest he has ever been in his career) from mostly spending his time in the rafters and not talking or wrestling for a whole year. Both Goldberg and Sting were more over than Ric Flair had ever been in WCW. Another category which I think your forgetting is a signature move which is really what got Luger over in 97. The torture rack was one of the most over moves in WCW. Luger torture racking everyone in 97 is what propelled him to top tier status for a little while. So yes Luger lacked in ring ability and mic skills but he made up for what he lacked in his look and signature move.

I met LEX LUTER, when he was an American wrestling star, he was a good citizen, super strong, extremely muscular, a living force of nature, he took more than two hundred kilos in weight training exercises, and he was extremely agile, he was a WARRIOR of modern times, a VIKING of the modern era, I was sorry that hollywood did not hire him to make action films, he made an excellent actor in action films and fights, he could be an excellent CONAN the Barbarian, or a Viking warrior in movies, he had a lot of professional pressure on him, and ended up consuming drugs and sank but GOD almighty, once again helped him to overcome this difficult phase. ,.,.,

For those wondering about why he looks the way he does. "On October 19, 2007, Luger suffered a nerve impingement in his neck that led to temporary paralysis. He underwent intravenous antibiotic treatment and was expected to make a full recovery. Nearly a month after his spinal stroke, Luger was still in a quadriplegic state, having no movement in either his arms or legs. In June 2008, Luger was said to be able to stand on his own for short periods of time and walk using a walker. In 2010, Luger stated in an interview that he was able to walk more comfortably, and was now able to drive."--Wikipedia A Spinal Stroke occurs due to blood clot blockage to the spinal cord.
