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.
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
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.
That's another reason I respect Sting more n more because Lex have always said it was Sting who stood by him through thick n thin till today. Both are great men. Legends.
LEX... Life evolves us all. Through all the BS you've been through man.. You truly have become a beautiful person! Proud of you sir. We love you! You are still and always THE TOTAL PACKAGE!!!
@@n.scorpion1256 YES I WAS ABOUT 25// THAT WAS LUGERS GREATEST CAREER BOOSTER// HE TRAVELED AROUND THE COUNTRY IN THE BUS.THE TOTAL PACKAGE BECAME MR. USA LEX LUGER*
Cool guy I talk with him at the airport I took him to his plane we talked the whole time I pushed him great great wrestling stories and took pictures great tipper also lol
Kirkland 1972 probably because he allegedly beat the hell out of and got Miss Elizabeth hooked on pain killers...he’s cool but it’s hard for me to really like him because of his past
He definitely deserves it. I don't know why he catches so much heat. He was one of my favorites as a kid and imo, the best U.S. champion they ever had besides Magnum.
DeLaFey1777 me too. Miss the excitement of the old guys coming into the ring. Randy savage with “woman” DDP making the diamond gesture and breaking it over his knee! , the 4 horseman....and NWO watching from the top of buildings in Orlando as we found out hulk hogan Hd switched sides
Lex Luger and Ric Flair are my favorite wrestlers of them all. The only two badasses I want to meet. Hopefully I get to scratch this off my bucket list. Woooooo!!!
Lex is so humble these days! Its great to hear from him! He wasnt a great wrestler but was willing to learn the business & is always talking great about wrestlers & wrestling in general! My respects to the total package lex luger
I remember Lex Luger in the UTC Arena in Chattanooga in the Round House when WCW had a show. He slapped my hand on the way to the ring to wrestle. Time can change a person and I really hope God continues to bless him.
Facts. And then they made him drop the title 2 Hogan I think at the very next paperview (within 2 weeks).. That's why they lost their fan base. They were being run by Hogan's entourage behind the scenes...
Tony Schiavone screaming at the top of his lungs - " HE'S GONNA RACKEEEMMMMMM!!!!!! THEIR STANDING IN DETRIOTTTTT!!!HES GOTTEEEM IN DA RACK OMG YES!" that was awesome! nothing like it now days .
I met in Lex back in 2006 at wrestling event in South Carolina. I spoke to him about fitness and gave me some exercising tips on how to build my biceps and triceps. I use that workout plan until this day!.....Thanks Lex
The total package thru and thru!!!! True class lex!!! Glad to see you looking much better. Thanks for the childhood memories. The nwa days were wrestling at its finest!! true sportsmen at that!!!!
That was fun in the '80s I was a teenager when wrestling really started getting popular and the cartoons were fading out they used to be on till 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays and they started being over by 11:30 in the morning and wrestling would be on for hours an you see Ric flair yelling and screaming like what the heck. Saturdays was wrestling soap operas after cartoons.
Many comments on here are saying Lex looks bad,The guy is not young any more i believe he is in his 60s,For me all that he has went through,he looks pretty good,Most would not even live through what he has went through and many are dead today who have went through less in the wrestling world.Despite all of his challenges,legal troubles,drugs,Motorcycle accident,Women/Marriage problems,Health Issues,having been through all of that in his past,And I am sure many could add even more in all he has went through in his making bad choices in life in the past,..I think he looks great for a person who has made it through all of that and is still alive when many wrestlers didn't make it.He has a great attitude and is very humble and very positive person, looks very happy and that he has peace in life.That's what matters.
I always remembered Lex for his exaggeration of hollering no matter if he making out like he's in pain or he's inflicting pain,it would sound the same either way. I also remember him being buffed and ripped and now he looks frail and its so sad.
Oh my God what happened to lex if you watch any of the stuff in the eighties this guy was built Mikey was carved out of stone I hope he's in good health but he was fun to watch in his prime
@@michaelkrolewski6531 I know about his stroke but just goes to show that anyone willing to pump mega doses of roids in the body can be a superhero on the outside but death on the inside
My brother's father-in-law went to high school with Lex Luger my brother's sister-in-law also went to high school with Lex Luger his name is Scott Steiner not big papa puff though not freakzilla that's how we got together with Jim Kelly Ric Flair Lex Luger Jim Kelly stories in Buffalo New York
I liked him but always thought he changed heel and face way too many times. By the time you got used to his gimmick he changed again. Was the best in WCW WWF ruined him by brining him in as Narsisys.

Lex answers the questions without throwing anyone under the bus.He is a good man

The last time I saw him on tna he looked like he was dying literally . Im so happy to see Lex healthy again .

"He carried me"..how many main-event wrestlers (past or present) would had admitted that? Luger is so humble, I`d love to meet him

My Fav memory of Lex was when he body slammed Yokozuna at the USS Intrepid. 💪🏼
100% BEST MOMENT EVER**

@@n.scorpion1256 👍 YES LEX EXPRESS*
Lex Luger is an inspiration to anyone who ever wanted to join a gym growing up and lift weights. He was the Total Package!
I never liked Lex wrestling but now I really want to meet this guy. He seems more real than just about anybody.
Cool guy I talk with him at the airport I took him to his plane we talked the whole time I pushed him great great wrestling stories and took pictures great tipper also lol
I still don't like him. I have no idea why.

I've met him a few times great great great sweetheart of a guy. Very nice everytime I've met him
I remember him when I was a teenager. He seems very down to earth.
I met Lex Luger in Planet Fitness. I talked to him for about 3 minutes, He seems to be in good spirits.
@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt Yeah, He was using the machine though. He's in a wheelchair now, Nothing like he was in the 90's
@@MrBrandon330 Had a "spinal stroke" which took his body away
Lex is so awesome! Seems so laid back and hope this Legend get into HOF same time as Pillman _
He definitely deserves it. I don't know why he catches so much heat. He was one of my favorites as a kid and imo, the best U.S. champion they ever had besides Magnum.
@@ChrisfromGeorgia No one has done it better before or since.
He beat Ms. Elizabeth and got her killed
Was never my cup of tea as a wrestler when I was younger but can certainly appreciate Lex the man, now.
Heel vs. Heel was common for Ric Flair. Man, I miss the NWA and WCW.
Niggas with attitude?
Nwa was the best .... I got to see it live in 85

When lex beat Hogan on nitro for the strap he was on fire the crowd reaction was incredible
That was WCW's biggest moment. Only thing comparable was when Goldberg beat Hogan for the title.

Lex is the best interview yet, 😊

Always loved Lex when I was a teen. I feel for him, but he does appear a little healthy/stable than he did about a year ago. I'm happy for that.
The total package thru and thru!!!! True class lex!!! Glad to see you looking much better. Thanks for the childhood memories. The nwa days were wrestling at its finest!! true sportsmen at that!!!!
It's nice to see one wrestler not try to tear another down like they so often do.
Luger is a damn cool fella.
Damn he has more charisma now than when he was a wrestler.
Lex has always been cool, you never really hear anyone bad mouthing him as a person
Yea you do. Bischoff and others will tell how Luger used to be.
That was fun in the '80s I was a teenager when wrestling really started getting popular and the cartoons were fading out they used to be on till 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays and they started being over by 11:30 in the morning and wrestling would be on for hours an you see Ric flair yelling and screaming like what the heck.

havnt seen this man in 30 years wow times have changed
Same. Hasn't seen him since e Monday night nitro. Damn he aged and lost every ounce of that muscle
Lex was underrated he was a good wrestler he doesn't get enough credit.
Never was a good wrestler, just good physique!💪
I will never forget Miss Elizabeth
Lex Luger and Rick flair are my favorite wrestlers of all time.
Always liked Lex Luger. Thanks!
Lex should have been at reunion!!!!!! He was a huge part of the golden era
Luger seems humbled now.
I always thought Luger looked so much alike McGyver. So when I was a kid, I always said that to my friends haha

3:13 "I dunno!" hahaha
The T-shirt's too tight too!
He has really changed his attitude and cleaned up, he has been hanging with Nikita Koloff for years now and they are on the straight and narrow.
Ric Flair vs Lex Luger for me is the ultimate in wrestling.
Glad to see that he's doing so much better now
Lex Luger was one of my favorite wrestlers. But I really, Really like this Lex Luger.
Lex was one of the greatest of all time! Ric flair ,arn Tully sting nwa best wrestling ever!
One of the best of all time ....bless you lex thank you for some great matches in the ring ....
As Lex is older he looks soooo much like his Mother
Wow
I used to walk like Lex in high school and score with the chics a lot
Lol
Lol, you a dick head!
This guy gets more hate b/c of jealousy than anybody before or after him even though it went bad for him years ago .
Well im pretty sure wrestlers like chris benoit. dynamite kid. Hulk hogan get more hate then lex luger does
All I know is that I would put anybody in the "Total Package Rack" right now. That was my move! 💪🏾💪🏾
I still remember when he slam yokozuna for the 1st time.
His debut
Hey lex you were like him . You are a part of group of wrestlers that Don’t exist anymore . You are wrestling . I miss those days
You're right. Group of wrestlers that don't exist anymore
Oh my God what happened to lex if you watch any of the stuff in the eighties this guy was built Mikey was carved out of stone I hope he's in good health but he was fun to watch in his prime
He looks sorta looks like David Lee Roth now
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was thinking more like the crypt keeper

Looks just Like David Lee Roth now!!
In real life they were all good guys normal like us.
Luger a complete LEGEND!!!!!! SALUTE!!!!!!
Lex luger is very friendly
Could Hannibal even afford to pay Lex for this interview? I DON'T KNOW!!!!
I don’t know why but I was always a fan of lex
All Hail The Total Package...
Damn Lex
without the steroids he looks less super hero and more like every day dad
He had health problems and almost died. That's one of the reasons he looks the way he does

Death warmed over.
Come on Lex, bury the hatchet with Eddie Van Halen and go back on tour
He look like my grandma
Lex looks much better without all the drugs/roids
its widely believed lex is responsible for the death of Elizabeth...karma is a bitch
is this wolfpac lex ?
Guess shouldn’t have done those roads hey luger
Wow, he looks 80
Wow....you'd expect me to say how bad lex looks, but he doesn't look bad. In fact, he looks like a regular person who's aged like any man would.
@Jerry Ogburn Yes, I thought that's what my comment eluded to
@@StrengthOfSamson45 alluded
Cool 😀
I liked him but always thought he changed heel and face way too many times. By the time you got used to his gimmick he changed again. Was the best in WCW WWF ruined him by brining him in as Narsisys.
A lot of Lex Luger matches were very good. Once age catches up with you, that is it unfortunately.
Damn he look older than ric flair
19Daemonn75 a spinal stroke will do that, I guess.
Transformed
WWE!
Lex has really deteriorated physically. He went from being the total package, chiseled, to looking like this. Granted yes, he’s older but baw gawd king...
He had an accident that paralyzed him for a long time. He can walk but uses a wheel chair.
Glad to see Lex in any condition
Age was not good to Lex
Adidas
When Lex Luger looks more like Bobby Heenan than a wrestler.
You need glasses
Lex looks nowhere close like the Weasel.
Don’t do steroids kids.
Ric Flair is a reject, u don't want to be like him. Lol
Damn he looks bad....
Lex Luger was the downfall for Miss Elizabeth
His voice is so soft he could audible children's books.
