    I met him on the full metal tour in Hull UK in 94. I’ve heard all the bad stories but he was very gracious and happy to autograph and take pics with the fans. Seems an even nicer guy today.

      man ... heel v. heel for one hour takes some special talent. Flair was amazing. Lex was no technical marvel by any means, but he was at least good enough to be carried for an hour in a heel v. heel match. That's intense.

    I'll never forget holding my hand out along with a bunch of others as Lex walked back to the locker room after he won his match and he looked at me and gave me a hi five. His hand swallowed mine. He was not the greatest wrestler, but he crowds always loved him. #NWA

Saturdays was wrestling soap operas after cartoons.
