I have had several injuries that required these drugs for healing and I have to say, I wish I never took them to begin with. I made it through, sure, but with too many scars for it to have been worth it. If you can avoid opiates/opioids, do so. Make sure they are a last resort and remember. They don't actually "relieve pain". They make you forget you had it to begin with which may lead to exacerbating your wound or complicate whatever is healing. No doctor explains this to you. It's something life forces you to figure out on your own so take my advice. It's wisdom born from experience.

But what I also remember he had this sort of dead-eyed “not all there” look too, I still have the ball cap he signed up in my closet somewhere.

Luger was basically a repackage of HULKAMANIA... American Hero type. Hulk had died off so fans just weren't grabbing for it a 2md time. The landscape started to change and people wanted flashier gimmicks to get behind. Wrestlers with more depth to the Character like Undertaker n stuff like that until it started to hit the Attitude era where it all got flipped upside down on what's cool. Best metaphor for ot is how the 80's Glam was crushed by 90's Grunge. They wanted authenticity of Real characters over the Positive Winners.

Crazy how Jake the snake Roberts was one of the best talking wrestlers in promos or in the ring on the stick but imo it didn't translate to the commentary microphone idk to me he lacked the excitement. Omg I heard one commentary on one WWF thing with Jake Roberts and Don Muraco who sounded like he was slowly gargling hot cooking oil while Jake was fighting to stay awake. I was like wow you'd think Jake would be half decent at commentary but matched with someone like Jim Ross who gets excited Jake looked really bad. Jesse the body Ventura was awesome on the commentary mic with Vince McMahon who would change his voice all the time while Jesse would pretty much just stay the same tough guy voice but it worked. Idk I was just blown away at how bad Jake was at it because his low slow voice he couldn't fake being excited and just sounds like he'd rather be anywhere else.
