I met Lex and Elizabeth together. Lex was the nicest wrestler I’ve ever met and this was supposedly when he was at his worst. Not to me. Great guy.
"Flexy Lexy is Sexy!"
I had to read that twice, I read that as "Lex was the racist wrestler I've ever met"
Where did you meet him and Liz at?
@@raymondtipton7243 a local flea market sports card show. Liz was very shy but nice also. I met Randy at a different one. He was grumpy.
they now call him hot wheels and if lex tries to flex they be the bigger man and walk away@@ARedMotorcycle
I was a doorman at the Excalibur night club in Chicago. I met Lex multiple times. Sometimes with Elizabeth. He was as down to earth a celebrity as they come. Handled himself with class, paid his tabs, tipped well. Always shook my hand on the way out.
Oh damn when Excalibur was still an awesome place too!
I met Nash years back at a comic con. COOOOL AS A FAN!!!!! Dude was so nice. So dope to meet him. Much love to you Big Man!! Blessings
Comic con? What is he, a nerd?
@@user-bq9ii9vz8e A nerd? What is this… 1993? Lots of people go to comic cons.
@@TitaniumTurbine Yes, freaks, geeks, nerds and such. I don't care what year it is, nerdy is nerdy and who reads comic books outside of that.
I have never had a chance to meet Lex. I did however, meet Kevin Nash. He was one of the nicest/greatest guys that I have ever met. Much respect to Kevin
The fact that lex is so positive is amazing to me and should be to all of us.
Positive? More like humbled down. It’s a mere act he’s portraying and he might be scared to meeting Elizabeth again. Which isn’t going to be a possibility, cause her body got buried and there is no such thing as heaven, although Duggan, DiBiase, Michaels and some other newborns ‘truly’ believe there is one…
During my years in the WWE I never had a problem with Lex. In the ring he was professional. In private he was always cool with me. Good old times!
I worked in WCW as “Midnight” with Booker T & Stevie Ray; Lex Luger and Kevin Nash were also among the many wrestlers working with WCW at that time. They were always nice to me and I was sorry to hear about Lex being paralyzed. But seeing the work he is doing through Jesus during this time in his life and his circumstance shows his loving character and is greater than anything he has ever done in the ring. I wish him well!
He doing well actually he is been working for WWE since 2011
Midnight! Wow hope all is well and that your overall time in wcw was positive (those were rough years hah)
Good to hear from ya again. You were very amazing in WCW. Wish you still around longer, but it is what it is. Hope you're doing well.
If you get to meet Lex do it. He is so easy to talk to and very nice.
I saw lex Luger once he was with Shawn Michaels Triple H Kevin Nash Ex Pac and Scott Hall I think it was 1998
Flexy Lexy. “Yeah it’s Lugers car. There’s health drinks in it” Scott Hall
Had the pleasure to meet Lex in ‘15. I was completely unaware of his condition but I kept my poker face. He was so nice and easy going.
And I couldn’t help myself. My friends and I back then we’re huge NarcissistLex fans. I told him hey we STILL listen to his narcissist theme and just have it in the background at home 😆. I loved that he got a good laugh from that.
Yeah always find it goofy when people said Lex was arrogant. Like no shit if you look like you're chiseled out of granite you're gonna be arrogant
He was also a top tier scholar in college. He's crazy intelligent.
Yep dude was well known too be aloof but very smart. He just wasn't comfortable around fans i.e. was an introvert. He got into wrestling cause, you know, money. The hate on him just seems like a trendy thing too do. He was over massively in 1989 and 1997. glad he turned things around @@RedfishCarolina
@@alexandru5369Yep, aloof and quiet seem more accurate than arrogant.
I started watching in the new generation and quite frankly I"m just happy to see some of them are still ALIVE after how many of them passed in the 90s and early 2000s. Grey hair, wheelchairs and all.
first time I came across wrestling was the first night hollywood appeared on nitro after bash at the beach!!
didint know how lucky I was cuz 2 yrs later I switch to wwf right when the attitude era started!! was spoiled in the late 90s
thought it would last forever lol
Kevin Nash one of my favorite wrestlers. You were amazing. Wish u were still wrestling!!! Hope to meet u one day . Thanks for the years 💪💪💪💪
Met Nash at WrestleCon 2023. Super cool, complimented me on my Scott Hall shirt. Mad respect! 🙌
Met both Luger and Nash recently this Summer at Wrestlecon in Detroit during Summer Slam weekend. Luger was genuine and super nice. Same with Nash. I wish could have taken a picture with both them when I did with Sting and Bret Hart.
Lex Luger seems to be at his happiest now. He was great during the nWo run. When he defeated Hogan that was a huge pop
It was
I want to know what the ton of time spent together 2000 pounds a is a ton is it 2000 lb they smoking weed or cocaine
That was a great moment for WCW. I remember all the faces of the company rushing to the ring to celebrate with Lex. That was really cool.
Lex is so underrated.
The pop when he beat Hogan for the strap for was historic.
Often overlooked.
I predict Lex is going to the wwe HOF this year … I hope
it would be great if Sting could induct him
Why though? Did fuck all in wwf.
@@johnm3907 he had better runs in WCW.. which WWE acknowledges with the HOF
@@johnm3907 Neither did The Great Muta, Jushin Liger, Carlos Colón, Harlem Heat, The Rock N Roll Express, and others. The WWE often inducts wrestlers who had success in other wrestling promotions.
I think Vince and Linda resented how Luger showed up on Nitro without giving them notice.
not seen the show for a little bit, my dad has been ill so life gets in the way of things, but always glad to hear Kevin's stories as always been one of my favourites, no bullshit from him, keep up the good work
Yeah I'm going through the same, hope your dad is doing better now
Love Kevin Nash, he keeps everything in real prospective reality, dude tell's it straight forward 😊.
Na not if he is talking about his friends like Sean then he covers for them 100%
Hall & Nash….Nothing else to say about their greatness, Kliq, EXCEPT that Wagner College shirt you’re wearing. Class of 1984 here. Great Staten Island memories!
I hope Lex shows up to Stings last match. Hes been forgotten about which is a shame.
Chyna is still the nicest wrestler I met ,what an underrated gem she was .
Met Lex in the late eighties. Was amazing how kind he was at the tiny venue we saw him in.
I'm so glad Kevin had success outside of wrestling
Me and my buddies went to a wcw meet and greet before a nitro in the DC area in 98. It was Lex luger, buff Bagwell, and nitro girl Chae. Awesome experience...
Cornette said it best about luger: he was oblivious to the heat that he had. Shit he said did made him a heat magnet to some of the boys, even though he apparently became a more humble guy in later years.
Love Lex. ❤️🕊️
The way Kevin changes his looks up is crazy ,the facial hair ,the hair on his head ,it’s so different in all the photos
Nash: I cant travel up and down the road with a douchebag
Also Nash: Travels up and down the road with Shawn Michaels
Well someone being a douchebag is kind of subjective to the person who your asking. To Nash, Michaels might not be a douchebag. Other wrestlers would say Nash himself is a douchebag, so his statement is true. Example Stevie Ray/Booker T said he doesn't think Hogan is Racist, because Hogan push for them in WCW when no one on top would, but to alot of fans and new wrestlers think he is.
Also Nash: roasting Gene Okerlund after his death. But, hey, everybody’s a prick sometimes, right Kevin? 🙄🤡
and Vince Russo and Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan
@@sean1728 exactly Gene was the sweetest nicest man and roasting him especially after he is dead and not able to defend himself is no class
shame on you Big Smexy
He roasted Bam Bam after he was dead too. Nash's behavior doesn't sit well with me anymore.
Wrestling back then...loved it ! Lived for daturdays to watch the von erichs and these guys too !! 😁👍
April 14, 1997 Monday Nitro. Luger defeats Nash by DQ. DDP, The Giant, and finally Sting comes out to rescue Luger. Sting throws bats to DDP Giant and Luger and they all clear the NWO out of the ring. I was 8 years old and 4 months at the time. This was my childhood. I lived for Nitro and Raw back then. The pay per views were on a whole other level of good. You couldn't beat prime WCW. It was the greatest pro wrestling promotion ever. Put me in a time machine. Back when pro wrestling meant something and the possibilities were endless. Give me the knowledge I have as a man and put me back in time....a guy can wish.
I was 12 damn times fly
it's scary how fast time has flown@@kingassyo6043
Lex seems like a perfect gentleman and in a good place now which is great given what he’s been through. Sorry about what happened to Miss Elizabeth but u can’t put that all on Lex I don’t think.
Pills played the biggest roles for both of em. Pills do more than what they say. They totally warp the mind over time especially if they're abused
I listen to Jim Cornette pod & whenever Lex comes up Jim always says the same thing
“When i met him he was naive about the business but he couldn’t have been nicer…..every time I saw him he was a nice guy”
That's saying a lot as Cornette never holds back on his opinion of anyone.
once a criminal
always a criminal
he should be prison for killing Liz
@@RS3isRealscapego to jail for slander
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm not mistaken, Lex Luger and Kevin "Diesel" Nash are the first to ever wrestle each other on BOTH _Raw_ and _Nitro..._ 🤔
Very possible. I was trying to think if Savage wrestled Lex at all at Raw in 93
Nash joined WCW long after Hogan, and Macho were there. I'd have to check the dates, but I bet Hogan, and Macho were the first.
@@ChrisSuswal-de9tjyes they did when Lex Luger was under Narcissistic Lex Luger gimmick
Luger is absolutely deserving of the Hall of Fame. It's long overdue
I think he will, I think they are just waiting for time to heal or for him to pass away. I wish they would put him in soon, since Luger said he will try hard to walk when he get inducted, and that would be a tear jerk moment.
i would have to nope that one
Steve Lombardi
Rene Goulet
Tony Garea
Rick Martel
all should go in before Lex Loser
i would even put Cornette and Midnights and Paul E in before Flexy Lexy
HOF is supposed to honor ppl who changed the business and sport or contributed to it
all Luger did was suckle the teat
@@Chronoicwho will induct him Sting is AEW probably Kevin Nash or the kliq
The Total Package Lex Luger is an ALL TIME GREAT
All time great? The guy sucked as a wrestler. Listen to Jim Ross, Jim Cornette and many others talk about how horrible of a wrestler he was. Not that we need to hear them say it, he wasn’t good in the ring. Granted, he looked great, and he was incredibly strong, but he had no mic skills, pretty much no personality, and he was terrible in the ring. Not exactly one of the “greats”. To each their own, though. Lol.
@@slimshead8100 Who's the longest reigning US champ, in both number of reigns AND longest? Go ahead and google it since you sound like you know nothing about wrestling.
None of that matters in a kayfabe world where accolades aren’t necessarily based on actual wrestling skills. It’s fine to like Lex but he just wasn’t very good in the ring or on the mic. It was his bodybuilder looks that were pushed by Vince at that time
@@tbd3058 Yeah, "none of that matters" until it's about a wrestler that you actually like, then you'd gush over longest IC champ or 16 times heavyweight champ.
dude was pushed to fast early on and was not given a chance to develop. instead he got put to the front of the line cuz of his Physique which was 99% anabolic
as Gorilla Monsoon would say
Gimme a Break
Big Kev You was awesome wish I could live those days again. nWo 4-life
"It ain't like you went to the f****** gym everyday and looked in the mirror and said I'm f****** jacked"🤣🤣🤣😆😆🤧
Diesel Kevin Nash to this day is the biggest man I ever saw in my life. Diesel vs Psycho Sid, Sid was the 2nd biggest. Massive.
Sid was huge !!!!! I seen him at wrestlemania 13 he was definitely scary
Huge Human Beings
Yeah I saw Kevin Nash at a thunder in b ham Alabama in late 90s he's a big dude
0:53 stares in 90s era Shawn Michaels 👀
He was always a nice guy as far as I know. I remember seeing him play for the Montreal Alouettes in the early 80's.
I bought Lex’s book. He autographed it for me at a convention and he was so nice! I knew he was from Buffalo, so I asked him about the Bills and his face lit up.
0:49 the basis of Will Sasso's Big Kev impression.
Ive known Lex 66 years. I was the individual who circumcised Lex. By far the most gracious infant Ive ever circumcised. Nothing but a class act.
😆
I remember cornette talking about lex and the thing he said that rubbed guys the wrong way was that lex just didn't know anything about wrestling. In terms of history. And so at times he came across as just treating it like a job or gimmick.
The “Narcissist” gimmick was born out of reality. Only, it was Vince’s reality.
I saw Lex Lugar in San Diego airport. He was hiding behind some shades. Lol! I stopped and stared and he smiled at me. His physique was hard to miss. In fact, there were a couple of WWF stars flying that day.
hey yo...big kev,i enjoy your videos,great topics and talk about other wrestlers
The Torture Rack is the best submission ever
The Crippler Crossface was my favorite submission move.
It looks silly.
Bret Hart called says Sharpshooter holds my beer
The old glory torture rack is better
@@RkoStunna beniot killed his kid
he is burning in hell
Lex was always nice to me. Even signed a picture for free for me.. He's a great guy. We all make mistakes. He loves his fans.
Worked our with Lex at Golds. Nice guy
I follow him on Twitter, he's interacted with me a few times . Seems nice enough, unfortunate about the Liz situation, when life happens you change your perspective on things. Ih he's made peace with God that is all that matters
God Bless
I saw Lex at a Macaroni Grill a few years ago. Must have been before 2015. He was having lunch with a kid through some charity kind of thing. The waitress said he does that sometimes. He was wearing a Miami Dolphins (or maybe it just looked like one) jersey. My co-workers didn't know who he was. I wasn't sure it was him at first, because he looked in rough shape. He could barely walk. We made eye contact when he was getting up to leave, I think I nodded, didn't really know what to say (I also didn't want to bug the guy).
Lex Luger should be inducted in the WWE hall of fame despite the demons, he was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up & it’s good to see him prosper
I never would have been a member of his fitness centers for years if he was a jerk.
Chatted with him whenever i saw him.
Same goes for Big Kev. ✔💯😄
Lex was always my favourite. Especially in Wolfpac
Kevin Nash was always one of my fav wrestlers bc he would clown around and joke around I met him in Huntsville Al but he was walking and He said what’s up and but he was was rushing so I never got a autograph but I don’t really ask for autographs I got his big sexy nwo Wolfpack shirt I still have it to this day he would be great to hangout with for a day
Lex had so much potential,I’m one of those that thinks ,he was a jewel in the rough ,I didnt have the right around him or training,I could of been a mega star
“That’s game baby, you can call me a sharp shooter,
But since I drive a bubble Lex you can call me Lex Luger” -Lil Wayne
Both Method Man and P Diddy also mentioned Lex in a verse.
I saw the biography on Lex, and it was amazing how God turned his life around.
One of the terrible things that happened in Lex Luger life was being out with Elizabeth when she passed away, that had to be a terrible thing to go through considering how close they were with each other.
They were both taking drugs together
"Never had a problem with seeing Lex Luger at conventions." --Kevin Nash, probably
Praise God Lex found Christ and peace and praying healing over his life
so now he has been swindled like every other religious person
@@RS3isRealscape Probably, but it makes him happy.
Hope Lex will be watching sting last match in AEW in march
Went to a convention once and nash and lex were very nice
Kev had a few glasses of wine here folks.
Seems like he's always buzzed here in one form or another...not that there's anything wrong with that!😊
@@alanmartino5488 Agree somewhat, but where is the professionalism?
@@akaJackLugar Yeah, I get that too. I'm sure Kev is getting paid for this and/or using this platform to promote his endeavors.
If I could ever ask Lex... How much it must eat him up not being able to train. I am a diabetic and Covid 'royally' FK'd my body up beyond recovery. I can still train but no longer can I go 'as hard' or even 'close to what I would call hard' anymore. It really eats me up, deep to my core. I wonder if he also feels the same way and how he deals with that. I am assuming its harder for him because thousands of people know/knew him as "the total package." One of the best bodies ever to grace the Ring. Its a short list of top teir bodies, while most guys looked good, there was the next level of show-body that Lex, Rude, some others had. That whole mental struggle has to be rough.
luger selling noise: "OHHHHHH!!!"
😂😂😂 underrated comment! He literally did that his whole career!
I met Lex in 2004 and he was super creepy. After reading his book, it was apparently during the time he was in legal trouble after Elizabeth's death. Weird..
Nash does not shit where he eats. I never liked his character in the ring, it just didn't suit him. He was on a higher level. I know he was consistent with the time, but I was a fan of wrestling not the acting, he was better than that crap. I like to listen to him now, he has class and respects the show.
Lex the definition of being a shell of yourself. Crazy how his body turned on him like that
I will say this,I meet lex big sexy Kevin Nash, when I was a student in the wcw power plant and my time in the company with them this was 20 years ago it's been so long
Love Lex. Met him a couple of years ago and he autographed my chase action figure of him... cool part about it was he knew it was the chase figure and glad to see it!! : - )
He'll be in the Hall of Fame this year
Lex Luger was one of the best!
"Don't make your body your gimmick: it's the first thing to go." -- Scott Hall
Love you Nash!
I think Luger got a bad wrap in the 80’s and 90’s. Imagine being constantly hounded for photos, autographs and living in hotels and airplanes while your marriage falls apart? You’d probably be a bit hesitant to be overly friendly and smiling off camera too!
The great and all powerful oz 🤘
“I can’t go up and down the road with a douchbag”
Bro, didn’t he ride with Shawn and Scott Hall during their worst era of drug addiction?
I feel like he loved Douchbags
and hung out with Bishoff and Russo
i mean Shit Stain 1 and Shit Stain 2
Dude I saw Lex last October 2023 in the wheelchair and I got so sad
I met Alex Luger at the fanboy expo in Knoxville and he was so humble and amazing to talk to. Great guy I was a huge fan growing up and he didn’t disappoint.
I remember when Lex got his first push in the old NWA. He was a great heel, and as a kid I was legitimately worried he was going to just whip everyone's ass, he was as built (or more) than the Road Warriors.
Lex showed up for a show because Flair was too drunk to. Lex is pure class!!
"We ALL have the ability to be a prick" -- Exactly....Regardless of your class & status in life, we all go thorugh an youthful ego phase, particualrly if you are in the public eye of sports, entertainment, or performing
I watche the documentary. And what he struggled with was more the schedules, specialy in WWF and all the PC and Marketing stuff. SIgning autographs while answering fan questions, and that for hours and then taping promos was simply not his thing. He was wrestler, period. Till watchinh the documentar I also had no clue that his WcW run, after WWF was not his first but his second and that WcW was much more a home for him than WWF ever could be. He also was a member of the 4 horsemen. Something I also have not known till then.
Without that knowledge I would still think he is that body builder who just tried his luck with wrestling, but never reached the top. But that is not true.
He was THE guy in his time, but in WcW. not in WWF. You just know what a great person he is and what a great wrestler he really was, if you know the whole story.
love ya Big Kev.
He’s the Ned Flanders of the wrestlers
Please do the Sheik gimmick
Chyna is still the nicest wrestler I met ,so real .
Nobody ever said their favorite wrestler was Kevin Nash
cool
I remember seeing lex Luger for the first time when I was like 7 - he strolled out with a bright smile & flexing his pecks 😂 I’d never seen someone do that before @ that time, any time I do it myself, I remember who taught it to me! , I love when people just do their thing & have fun!!
Also , Kevin Nash will always be “big daddy cool”!! *truck horn* 📢📢🚛
Lex is a cool guy
Use to see Lex at Golds gym in Georgia couldn’t have been a nicer guy
Bret Hart and Ric Flair had a lot of good things to say about Lex as well. Not sure where people get the idea that he was a douchebag?
Bret Hart got along with Lex Luger
Nash should've kept the wolfpac going. That was the best group in wcw. They were taking over. Shit , they join forces with hogan again 👊🏽😵. Wolfpac theme song and the faction was 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎👌🏾
I think Lex was just aloof and probably a bit shy. He started late in the business and guys were jealous of him. But I wasn’t there so I really don’t know for sure.
Nash ever the politician, picks his words wisely, and is always neutral
