    Years ago I was in line at a Barnes and Noble, turned around and there was Lex behind me. we spoke for a few minutes and he could not have been more kind. He is a very nice guy.

    I cant knock Lex for knowing his worth as a rookie. $300 a week is a great struggle to reflect on in hindsight once you make it but getting that for taking any kind of bump is crazy. I dont blame Lex for getting guaranteed money. It was a business and a job to him…just being a mark for wrestling with no real objective is why the indies look the way they do.

    The silence after Jim's Pianist joke made me laugh too much 🤣

    Lex Luger has lived long enough to see the error of his ways and reflect on them and changed. Life is amazing!

    I’m just glad that Lex is getting his long overdue flowers while he’s still with us

    The no sell on the 12 inch pianist joke had me dying 😂

    I loved this one. Lex"s story is uplifting and shows you are never too old or too gone to change.

    Lex Luger's biography was the best one to date. WWE should do a biography on Barry Windham💯💯💯

    The lex documentary was one of the best wrestling documentaries I’ve seen.

    I love that they left the "Plate full of piss" line in the biography.

    The stuff Luger did just on the football field takes a level of athleticism and intelligence that should have given anybody in the wrestling business a hint of his greatness.

    Omg the Pianist joke killed me.. I was wording where this is going all the time and than the silence after this 🤣🤣😭

    Kurt Angle and Lex Luger documentaries are the best so far that they produce from A&E I mean it's always refreshing to see a wrestler be 100% transparent with their career and their faults as human beings.I never thought Luger was as bad as people made him out to be he was clearly a guy who was gonna get pushed based upon his looks he had one of the best bodies ever in professional wrestling.

    My wife was like I hate this guy, then after seeing his attitude after his stroke she was like I love this guy. The attitude difference in him is unbelievable.

    Guys were offended because Lex said he wasn’t willing to work for $300 a week in Memphis. Only idiots would hate a guy for being smarter than them.

    I was meh on Luger as a kid. Watching his stuff as an adult gives me a new appreciation for him and what he did! I now consider myself a fan! All aboard the Lex Express! <3
