Lex Luger’s WCW World title win is a big time moment yet in true Hogan fashion, Mr Hogan wants his title back because that’s best for business, brother!
Keep up the awesome content, James. What I have to say about Lex Luger during this time frame of his in WCW is simply this: In my opinion and I will stand on it, Luger's title win against Hollywood Hulk Hogan on the 100th episode of Monday Nitro in August of 1997 was not only the biggest win in Luger's career, but Nitro's greatest title win in the show's 5 plus year long history.
I’m mad at wwe don’t Lex Luger win the wwe champion from Yokozuna at summer slam 93 i like to see Lex Luger win the wwe wrestling champion at summer slam 93 from Yokozuna
Imagine Lex Luger’s WCW return happening today “Our trusted sources say that Lawrence Pfohl aka Lex Luger, a wrestling superstar in both WCW and WWF, will be making his full time return to WCW next Monday night on WCW Nitro and it is hinted that Mr Luger’s contract with the WWF has expired and he has decided not to renew said contract”
3 questions, 2 of them being on Luger's 2nd run in WCW, one is unrelated and is a follow-up from the Ask James episode of FTV. Before I get to the questions I'm curious if you are considering doing an FTV on DDP's WCW run in '97, maybe his run in WCW, or at least covering Spring Stampede '97 seeing next year is going to be the 15th anniversary of the show. Both questions I got on Luger's WCW run are simple: 1) What year of Luger's run would you consider the most "cursed" year given either the storylines going on, the roster makeup, or possibly related to the behind the scenes issues within WCW? 2) How much of the whole rumor of Luger wanting to be in the Four Horseman during the whole Hogan/Doom feud where he joined the Dungeon of Doom do you believe? And if it's true how well would it have worked? By the way, how hard are you laughing at the Raiders for that Jon Gruden contract as head coach and 6% ownership stake going into the... 4th year of the contract if I recall right?
I am thinking of covering DDP's WCW career next year; as it's the 25th anniversary of his big break 1. Honestly from August 99-March 01 is a point in Luger's career I would like to forget 2. I somewhat believe it; but I don't know how well it would have worked Yes this year is Year 4 of Gruden back with the Raiders
Lex Luger came back to WCW 1995 in the beginning things were pretty good for the few years he was there after his return especially when he beat Hogan on Nitro back in 97 for the World Heavyweight Championship I enjoyed his run with the NWO Wolfpack after that it just kind of feels like he hit a low point during the later years of WCW and it was a very awkward time for Luger in the later years of the company it just feels like things were not the same with him after a while.
I remember being excited for lex luger winning the wcw title from Hogan in August of 1997. But then being bummed that he lost it a few days later they should've gave luger at least a month title reign but I see why they didn't do it. Because Hogan was going to wrestle sting and they wanted the belt on Hogan so sting can take it away from him at wcw starrcade 1997 but we know how well that turned out.
The best comparison to Luger beating Hogan in 97 is when Dusty beat Flair in 86 The chase was the important thing, the title win was huge, but the reign didn't need to be long
It didn't occur to me til now but Luger's 2nd WCW run was about as long as when Nitro was around coincidentally. Looking back at these shows, Luger's feud with the nWo was the hottest he had ever been in his career. Imagine a Sting vs. Lex feud during that timeframe where he turns on Sting, claiming he was the first to regain the world title from the nWo but the fans "didn't care", yet Sting gets all the credit for taking down Hogan and company.
Debuted 1st Nitro, final appearance was 8 days before the final Nitro And that would have been an interesting story & a story where Luger would have been a "justifiable heel"
@@bigjoeofthe707 turning sting heel was a horrible idea I never got no sense out of why they thought it was a good idea to even turn sting heel the fans were never going to boo him because he was too well liked by the fans.
@@Collectingmythoughts and he didn’t even talk bad to the fans. The most heelish thing he would do was sneak attacks, double teaming with Luger, and hitting people with his bat.
@@bigjoeofthe707 definitely that was really the only Helix thing I can think of that sting really gave during that whole heel run I can't really view sting as a heel because when people think of sting they think of him being a Babyface.
Question 1. What did you think of Lex and Jimmy hart pairing where do you rank it 2. Rank lex and Elizabeth pairing 3. He was runner up in the world war 3 battle royal 3 times which one should he have won 1996, 1997 or 1998 4. If he didn't jump from wwf to wcw how would it be different
1. Somewhat good; but didn't really need a manager 2. Don't want to talk about it 3. Didn't need to win either of the 3 4. I can't even think where Lex would have been in the WWF had he not jumped over in 95
@@WeAreProWrestling that second question I understand but after his career he is a different person in a wheelchair but there will never be another total package never
While his WWF run was disappointing, from the time he lost the belt to Hogan all the way to the end was a shame. I still don't get why they pushed him to the background so quickly after losing the belt given how over he was in 97.
Favorite match when he beat hulk hogan for the wcw heavyweight championship match and also my favorite moment also favorite giant vs luger starrcade 96 Least favorite doomsday match and slamboree first round tag match Least favorite moment him in the nwo Wolfpack
That's something that I have always wondered he didn't leave the WWF in 1995 I have always imagined how well he would have fit into the Attitude Era in Spanish when Macho Man when he reinvented himself in 99 with a all new look I know definitely macho-man would have fit in well with the Attitude Era especially with that look he had plus he had Gorgeous George with him.

And it's either Luger's win or Goldberg's win as the greatest title win in Nitro history

Lex Luger's WCW run was awesome. His first run was great for match quality, but his second run was a great for his character.

You should do a video on Monty Brown he is very underrated alot of people don't talk about him very much.
At some point in the future Monty Brown will be a topic

Ya know that could’ve been the reason for their feud in late 1999-early 2000 right after that awful heel turn for Sting

I was really hoping to hear about Billy and his T shirts that are to small and about Super Saturday Superbrawl Saturday I DONT KNOW!!
One thing I wish was mentioned here but obviously it didn't occur in WCW. What am I referring to? Two words:
SUPERBRAWL SATURDAY?!?!?!
One of those infamous wrestling promos that live forever here on UA-cam & really only exist because of UA-cam
Look what happened as soon as vice came in
Where do I rank her 97 wcw title an A+
How would you compare Lex Luger's time in the WWF to his run after losing the WCW Championship back to Hogan?
While his WWF run was disappointing, from the time he lost the belt to Hogan all the way to the end was a shame. I still don't get why they pushed him to the background so quickly after losing the belt given how over he was in 97.
@@WeAreProWrestling Considering Bischoff wasn't interested in bringing in Luger in '95, that may be a big reason.
Favorite match when he beat hulk hogan for the wcw heavyweight championship match and also my favorite moment also favorite giant vs luger starrcade 96
Least favorite doomsday match and slamboree first round tag match
Least favorite moment him in the nwo Wolfpack
Does OOC know about this? 🤔
By the time Lex won the world Title it too late. It should have been in the WWF.
To be fair his 1st big babyface World Title win should have been in either 88 or 90; would have been 91 had the whole Flair/Herd thing never happened.
Do you think Lex could have been successful in the Attitude Era ?
They would have had to completely rebuild him; but maybe
That's something that I have always wondered he didn't leave the WWF in 1995 I have always imagined how well he would have fit into the Attitude Era in Spanish when Macho Man when he reinvented himself in 99 with a all new look I know definitely macho-man would have fit in well with the Attitude Era especially with that look he had plus he had Gorgeous George with him.
