I remember this story back in the day when during WWE’s transition towards having a creative writing team where they started to hire guys outside wrestling one of the people brought in was a continuity writer. Said writer took a look at what WWE had written in regards to Kane’s back story and basically went “WTF”. I like to think that writer wrote Journey into Darkness

Dear Mr. OOC, Please consider Walking the Golden Mile by William Regal. I loved it and would love your take on it. I used the added glossary he added to later works as I didn't get most of his European slang. I'd love your take on this aspect. Additionally his carny background seems ripe for your opinions. Additionally, Hacksaw: The Jim Duggan Story would be good. Given his founding role in "schmoz to the back" I feel he needs some attention. He describes a decent amount of the early era which you lot enjoy riffing on so it feels like a good choice. Thank you for your time.
Really enjoyed Regal's book, plus the before wrestling section OOC hates is largely filled with Regal being a literal carnie wrestling strangers at 15 with a travelling carnival.
@@Dave_ja_vu I saw the comment on the Bruce Hart book review and saw that someone also read it here. Thought the chapter title was a baller thing XD. Fair enough btw
Why not the original Mick Foley autobiography? Or the full Foley autobiographical trilogy? That way you can give out about his lesser works while still praising (I'd assume) his first and best wrestling book.
I'd recommend Brock Lesnars book. It's basically just a long list of people he hates (and some few he likes) and how all the fights he lost annoy him because he is really really really the better man (he comes across a bit insecure, but don't tell him I said that). The only boring chapter is the sable stuff.
Unfortunate that there wasn't more of interest in the book, but that does seem to be in line with what we know about Lex. He's not much of a storyteller and he never seemed to be all that interested in wrestling. I bet he's got plenty of stories, but it would take a good author and conversationalist to really go through his history and prompt those stories out of him.
You don’t release a memoir because you want to tell the unblemished story, you release a memoir to massage the narrative. It’s not his story, just the one he wants people to know.
Luger did an RF shoot back in like 2004. He was asked all the right questions, but just never had anything much to say. Wrestling was just business to him.
@@fuzzydunlop7928 but there's tons of memoirs that are super confessional and they admit how awful a person they were. Like Ric Flair's book. He admits the whole nature boy thing was no gimmick, he was heavily into drugs and all that shit and constantly cheated on whoever he was in a relationship with. Sure there's many that are just trying to make themselves look better (like hogan's book). But there's also plenty of really honest ones.
As a Penn State alum, the thought of him bar crawling through State College is hilarious. Could totally see it. Blessed to have drank where Sexy Lexy has
Lex actually was on the practice squad for the Green Bay Packers much in the same way Baron Von King Corbin was in the NFL too... Played 10,000 preseason snaps, never drew a dime brah... Lex's book on audio tape... It was the uhhh best uhhhf times uhhhh... It was the uhhh worst uhhhf times uhhh... - A Tale of Two Gimmicks Brah...
OOC never had a pre-wrestling life. He can’t possibly relate. He was born via springboard stunner from the umbilical cord, and like all springboard stunners it was an ugly sight to behold.
I've seen this same comment under countless UA-cam vids. Regurgitate a witty person's funny line then say "it killed you". It's the UA-cam comment equivalent of Lex Luger's lazy book. mazel tov!
@@dankbutcher9715 You only addressed the boring regurgitating of the line. Why didn't you address the trite "killed me" part? THAT was your contribution. If you have nothing new to add why not lot an interesting person transcribe the obviously funny line?
I was a missionary for my church, so I know about talking about religion. But I've also seen the guy who's been on drugs and such and now is talking Jesus, Jesus, like they're a preacher, and yeah, it's kind of annoying. It's like, I'm happy for you, but chill out. But I think it's to keep themselves strong, because as they say, you never stop being an alcoholic (or whatever it is). The past can have a hold on us, and for those who have fallen far, they have to work harder to stay on the path. Plus, they know it made them happy, so they really want to share it.
Wait, WAT? I thought they were getting lifted together and she OD’d and he freaked out, what have I missed? Does Lex need to start getting the Snuka murder-siren treatment?
@@fuzzydunlop7928 Wrestling fans just have an image of Elizabeth in their minds from the late 80s and can't accept the way she ended up. She chose to live the lifestyle she did with Luger later on. It's ridiculous to put any blame on him.
@@Bubba__Sawyer if he was beating her, and if he introduced her to that lifestyle, then he definitely should get some blame. Unfortunately the only person who could tell us what really happened is Elizabeth herself so we'll never know. He certainly wasn't good for her (and she wasn't good for him), they both brought each other down, it was a toxic relationship, we know that much
I think Lex has always come across as just a really boring person. Probably why the book is so short and why he couldn't connect with fans in WWF. He was never a wrestling fan he just fell into wrestling, like Sid
but at least Sid was entertaining even if it wasnt intentional. those promos where he's talking real quiet AND THEN STARTS SCREAMING are my favorite. I think Samoa Joe LEARNED HIS PROMOS from the man the rules the world.
Wow LOL. @16:00, that shot from Bowling for Soup's "Girl All the Bad Guys Want". I literally just watched that video this week and haven't seen it for like 20 years before that. Unbelievable.
Luger never played for the Buffalo Bills but he is from Buffalo despite being billed from Chicago and Atlanta his whole career. I actually went to the same schools as him granted 20 years apart haha.
@@rabblerouser6744 Yep. Former coworker of mine brought in his yearbook where he was in the same class as Luger that year. Marked right the fuck out. And the table jumping didnt start here til after Luger got in bad shape. Still woulda been cool though.
@@dillonpanarello5242 yeah, the table stuff started during the playoff drought. It waa a joke cuz I legit dont remember seeing Luger go through many tables during his career
@@rabblerouser6744 He does show up at games now and again and has a drink with fans as we party in the lots. So he might not go through a table sadly, but at least the dude's still out here ^_^
@@dillonpanarello5242 My Uncle was in the same classes as him too. Orchard Park High School still had pictures of him up when I was there but they used his real name so you didn't really know unless you knew. Ya know? Haha.
Seriously, what is it with wrestlers from this era and being hyper religious... Probably helps them recover from and cope with the years of drug abuse.
tbh i'd point to Luger repeatedly failing to beat Flair for the world title in Crockett/early WCW as one of the most famous parts of his career as well. Their initial main-event run in '88 actually did major house-show business for Crockett, maybe their last big feud before the bottom fell out business-wise...
This is a very “my dad works at Nintendo” story but about 2 years ago I worked at the same place as Lex’s brother for about 3 months and was a very nice guy.
How did that family connection get dropped? You said something about wrestling and he was like “Let me say this thing that is relevant to this topic!” or did the headphones slip out the jack when listening to some rassist Irishmen during their Lex Express phase?
What is the purpose of "idk why"? Why WOULD you know why?? Did you try to call dibs on "it killed me" but were too slow in addition to being lazy and witless? How many times have you seen 'idk why' add nothing to a pedestrian comment as a pizzzazz attempt failure? 150k for me.* *The same as Bischoff's low ball offer.
The ridiculous oxymoronic phrase "all in general" is the phrase that made William Faulkner punch Eleanor Roosevelt in the choppers. There are several great wrestling biographies. Be better. (In general).
I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch that day with a half pint of milk and a fruit roll up. I was wearing my favorite Winger t-shirt over a brown dickie & jorts. I spent the rest of the afternoon looking at animal shapes in the clouds morph into demons... The first one hundred pages of the preamble to Mark Halm's wrestling book is going to be lit!
Seeing you fellas TylerDurden that pic of OOC...and really anytime I see his visage I remark about how UNforeignyMenace he looks. Until I hear that thick Puerto Rican accent....or swedish or whatever....and then Lex Luger reminds me just how much OOC loves America and that *OOC is ready, willing and able and he's ready for success. OOC heard the call to Action from the MIGHTY Lex Express* M.O.M. 2000...MiddleEarth, Ooc and MO.....they're on a MISSION!!!
Mick Foley released his first book and it became a massive success, next thing you know every wrestler is trying to grab a piece of that pie. How very "wresting" XD
Yeah man! Every wrestler autobiography has Mick Foley to thank a little bit. It wouldn't even be an option to consider before his came along! One of my favourite autobiographies, absolute banger!
I love Bret, but aside from that, I really enjoyed his book. He takes wrestling seriously, so he treats it with good coverage, and even the non-wrestling stuff is wrestling related, because it's the Hart family! And for being such a straight arrow character, him talking openly about some of his faults was eye-opening.
Nothing better than hearing a Buffalo Bills Nod. Die hard Fan. I dont belie Lex played with the Buffalo Bills BUT he IS from Buffalo and currently lives there now. I think he helps take care of his parents these days
@@jackspence6061 yeah - he was a really nasty piece of shit. I love Kendo's book - it also cracks me up that World of Sport had a ladder match nearly 5 years before the Fed did
I bought a copy of Bruce Hart's book after watching OOC's review of it. But I don't think I'll be doing the same for Luger's. Not just for the lazy effort, but everything about Miss Elizabeth "being clumsy" just doesn't sit well at all ...
Might get heat for this but I really don't mind Rock's book. Think V1's overstated how much of it is spoken in the 3rd person, there were maybe four relatively short snippets where he'd talk as The Rock about key matches in his career, like he's doing a running commentary as if it were happening in front of him. The rest of the book, his life, career progression etc, is straightforward. The only negative about the book is Rock hasn't had that remarkably different a life to many other wrestlers, there's no real insight into the business apart from what he learnt seeing his Grandparents working as heads of the respected wrestling family.
green bay packers but never played the rest in canada and some matches in breakout leagues and he got 1350$ för the robe on hardcore pawn detroit and hoping for the next book review being diana hart "under the mat"
7:09 SPECUATION? Cause OOC always takes the L!
Nice.
Need to get OOC to review Kane: Journey into Darkness, it is.....wild.
Genius.
Fatal Specuation!
@@7bootzy 11111111111111
I feel like Luger should have an audiobook of this book and just replace every word with him selling ..
you couldnt afford to pay him for it :P
BLARRR!!! OOOOFFF!!! ARGGGGHHHH!!!
Is it SATURDAY??
I would love to have Scott Steiner read it and put his spin on it.
@@seanmcclure add some steiner maths lessons and that would be perfect lol
People joke about how Luger sells, but Road Warrior Hawk sold the same way. He’d scream anytime he sold a move. Shame we never heard it,
Worthy of a golf clap.
Beeeeeeuuuuup!!!
Hawk sold? I don't believe it
@@northleedspoppa Didn’t notice the shame part…shame
Sabu's got a great autobiography. Not in that it's good, more in that it's insane. That and all the BURIALS. Holy shit the burials.
I loved Kane biography written entirely in kayfabe.
That one was magical.
Was that the Journey Into Darkness book?
if anyone is interested in that book but doesn't have the time to read it AE podcast did a good job reviewing it.

I would love to see this, one of my favorite wrestling books
Really enjoyed Regal's book, plus the before wrestling section OOC hates is largely filled with Regal being a literal carnie wrestling strangers at 15 with a travelling carnival.
@@Dave_ja_vu Isnt there a chapter titled "Hookers and Cocaine" or something along those lines?
@@djgaben6187 there could be? I honestly can't remember mate it's been years since I've read it
@@Dave_ja_vu I saw the comment on the Bruce Hart book review and saw that someone also read it here. Thought the chapter title was a baller thing XD.
Fair enough btw
"Lex we hardly knew ye', and still don't by the sounds of it"
That's a great quote Jay
It was even greater when Roger Babin chronicled it.
That Shawn Michaels-rant by OOC was ace 👌🏻
📗 What wrestling book do you wanna see OOC review?
Ryback's could be a bit of craic
I would like to hear OOCs opinion on AJ Lee's book. I found it to be pretty entertaining.
But the Main Event is clearly... THE HARDCORE TRUTH!
Ric Flair's To Be The Man would be interesting to see what OOC think's
Nitro by Guy Evans goes into incredible detail about WCW from 95-01, I think it would be right up OOC’s alley.
Why not the original Mick Foley autobiography? Or the full Foley autobiographical trilogy? That way you can give out about his lesser works while still praising (I'd assume) his first and best wrestling book.
So the real Torture Rack is the shelf this book sits on.
Bruce Pritchard said that survivor series 93 opening promo w/Lugers fam took all day and countless takes despite it being like 10secs long
yeah it took 5 hours!
I'd recommend Brock Lesnars book. It's basically just a long list of people he hates (and some few he likes) and how all the fights he lost annoy him because he is really really really the better man (he comes across a bit insecure, but don't tell him I said that).
The only boring chapter is the sable stuff.
Being insecure is pretty much a prerequisite for going into MMA. >__>
Why did you leave out Lex’s most iconic moment?
I DON’T KNOWWW!!!
MY GOD OUCH
YOUR FONT IS TOO SMALL TOO BILLY!

Isn't it the funnies thing ever. It kept me in giggles for ages.

I think you guys need to do my boy Bob Hollys book, I actually think its one of the better written ones
"pure specuation"? Boy I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
You mean, "Sure p-PECuation"

Cornette summed it up about HBK converting to Christianity "When you're such a prick to everyone no one wants to talk to you, you talk to God"

I always avoided this book. Glad to hear OOC talk about it.
I haven’t even read it but I’m pretty sure this sums it up. I lifted weights, I wrestled, I did drugs, something bad happened, and I found God.
Found God after getting away with Elizabeth's --murder-- untimely death.

The rest of the book, his life, career progression etc, is straightforward. The only negative about the book is Rock hasn't had that remarkably different a life to many other wrestlers, there's no real insight into the business apart from what he learnt seeing his Grandparents working as heads of the respected wrestling family.
We would love more book reviews Jay
