Why Was Lex Luger Over?

[Silkk]

He and The Giant had the worst gimmicks in WCW, which were nothing. Now the giant is a 7'0 freak so he'll at least always stand out. But take away their nWo shirts and you got no gimmick, no entertainment

Talk about vanilla midgets, they were the worst vanilla wrestlers on the roster

The point of the saying vanilla midgets is they don't stand out against normal people. Even with the gymhead culture today, Lex Lugers physique would stand out. So in the 90s when not as many people where banging weights he looked like a superhero compared to an average man.

Because he's the total package

The same reason Ryback is over right now.

Edit - I mean, I DON'T KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!

Before he got lazy Luger could actually work, did power moves pretty much effortlessly which was/is fascinating to kids and women especially. Dude was torture racking 400/500 pounders weekly at one point. He was easy to root for







-P-

 

[lunchmeat]

flair and sting got him over in the 80s. after that he was a made man

It's funny, even as a kid I never cared for Luger but I did mark out when he body slammed Yokozuna on the USS Intrepid.

Always thought he was trash but the slamming of Yoko was a cool moment (still prefer when Hacksaw knocked him down for the first time though.)

Lex was alright, just wish Vince didnt ruin him with the Lex Express push, he was better as a natural heel

 

[Heelish]

I won't lie I was a Luger mark, the Torture Rack

Even had his toys
