I always felt the WCW made a mistake trying to force him into being a good guy alongside Sting... Lex Luthor's last run-in WCW when he was the heavyweight champion before he went to the WWF with some of his best work, when he had Harley Race as his manager... I just think that they ended the feud with Luger and Sting too early... I would have loved to have seen him stay and WCW and stay Akil alongside Harley Race and possibly bring in Vader and create a stable for Harley Race sort of like what WWF did with Bobby The Brain Heenan... it would have been great,

Flair is wrong, Barry joined the Horsemen in April 1988, Tully and Arn left the Horseman in September 1988, so the actual 4 Horseman lasted only about 5 months. Flair, Barry and JJ continued until the Starrcade, the end of the year. JJ was replaced with Hiro Matsuda and Flair lost the belt to Steamboat in early 1989, so the Horseman were basically over at that point. Luger was in the 4 Horseman for most of the year 1987 with all 4 members...

Since many veterans and wrestlers supported Bret Vince did the Count out win at Summerslam. Then all those veterans and Bret blamed Lex for the house shows not doing well. By Royal rumble seeds were planted by Bret and the veterans that Luger should not be given the belt. All that had nothing to do with Bret being over. It was all about Vince insecurity that WWF may do bad. Bret got the belt and still flopped. Veterans still kept pushing Vince to put the belt on Bret. Vince got tired and then told Bret to leave WWF because he had no intentions of making Bret the champion again and with too many Bret fans boys it wasnt drawing. Vince didn't want to pay Bret so much.

There are a few rumors as to why Lex never got the World Title whilst in WWE. One was that Bret was due to get the match against Yokozuna in 1993 at Summerslam. The locker room would have rioted had Lex won the title at Auburn Hills. The Wrestlemania 10 story is that Lex was going to beat Yokozuna for the title. However, he was out in New York City the night before in a bar and was bragging about winning the title the next night. Vince found out and changed the outcome. If you look at Lex's body language for that match, he is cheesed off. Lex was a great worker, he deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame.

The whole Lex Express tour, the clause in the contract stating that if Lex did not win the title, he would not get another shot at it. Jim Cornette was only new to the company, Jim could not believe the count-out finish given the ticker tape entrance, everyone wearing the red white, and blue. Even the locker room gave Lex a massive celebration for a count-out victory. Bret should have been made the sole winner of the 1994 Royal Rumble, the whole joint winner's outcome only muddied the waters further. The only positive thing to come from all of this was the classic opener between Bret and Owen at Wrestlemania 10. Lex went on to feud with Tatanka, that was boring.

Luger's story is that he was never promised the title at any point. He has said that the way Vince McMahon always talked about it is that IF he got behind Lugar and gave him the title, he would be all the way behind him. But it was always if and not when. Giving the title to Bret Hart at that time was the "safe" choice. He had already held it previously and it was known what he could do. I think Vince McMahon got right up to the end with Lugar and just decided that he didn't have "it" to be champion.
