    For Lex to have gone through the monsoon of crap he's been through, but come out of it as down to earth, and not bitter, is amazing. And more than one can say about most older wrestler's in these interviews.

    OAAAF!!!
    OOOOOAAAAFFF!!!

      His psychlogy was actually very good. He was very lazy in regards to adding to his moveset which made his matches so predictable. Most guys usually have the opposite problem.

    I met him in Smyrna GA here a little over 2 1/2 years ago, and he was wearing that same Sabres jersey. And me being a fan of his, AND from Buffalo and a Sabres fan, we had a GREAT conversations. Great person he is.

    Please get Taker (when he retires) to do timeline 1996! Or have Cornette return.

    • @m3shad
      @m3shad 10 років тому

      Hah, nice one. lol Yeah I feel you may be right though.. but I'm remaining hopeful.. Oh the stories he must have..

    • @DevilTakeMe
      @DevilTakeMe 10 років тому

      Arcturus Dunhelm Taker has done a small handful of shoot interviews (see "Off the Record" a few years back), but I think he's so protective of the business that any more shoot interviews wouldn't happen again until a while after his retirement.

    • @m3shad
      @m3shad 10 років тому

      Yeah I watched him on Off the Record, aswell as the Jimmy Kimmel Show, both when they aired. Both took place during his "ABA" era. It was no big deal for him to act as himself in public settings, aswell as televised ones. He definitely won't do any shoots while he's under the Deadman gimmick. He's very dedicated to protecting that gimmick. That's why I feel as though there's a distinct possibility of him doing a couple shoots once he's officially retired and no longer fully dedicated to the deadman gimmick, or even the Taker character in general, for that matter. Just Mark Callaway sharing some insight and stories from arguably the most illustrious and legendary career in pro wrestling ..He surely has enough stories and recollections to share many amazing ones, but yet, still take many of his nearest and dearest memories to the grave with him.

    • @DevilTakeMe
      @DevilTakeMe 10 років тому +3

      m3shad In the mean time, there's a few Paul Bearer shoot interviews floating around. Would be something to give some insight on UT, and maybe some fuel for a few good questions should UT ever do a shoot of his own.

  • @syphonfilter8372
    @syphonfilter8372 11 років тому +3

    I agree there. That was a mainstay problem for Luger even back in South: The comparison to Hogan. Luger was and will always be one of the best heels. He could exude arrogance in ways that the guys today could only envy. He knew how to make you hate him and his character thrived on that. I understand Vince's methods but if something isn't broke, don't try and fix it. I think Luger would've went over fine in the WWE just being the "Total Package".

    Look at all the people here writing crap about steroids. "uuh he looks so old, steroids have taken their toll" blabla. The guys back then ALL took steroids, Sting and Scott Steiner still wrestle, Schwarzenegger and Stallone made hollywood careers out of taking steroids - do they all look like Luger now? Luger had all kinds of problems in the last 15 years

    It's sad. He suffered a spinal stroke (I think), It was something serious to that degree. I'm not sure if he's still in the wheelchair or not, but at least he was for some time. Doesn't even look like him, without all of the muscle mass that he lost.

    Corny was more or less pointing out that on the tapes Nash used a particular set of moves in his WWF tenure as Diesel, so it made setting up Glen Jacobs as fake Diesel easier than the work they had to do to make fake Razor.

    @jahthepackage 11 років тому

    Luger had a freak accident back in 2005 or 06 that caused him to be paralysed for a short amount of time. He is so blessed just to be able to walk today. Sure he looks old & frail from the freak accident that caused him to lose all of his muscle mass aided by steroid abuse but at least now he has peace of mind & is in good spirits being blessed to be alive. Luger was in a dark place before the accident who was a jerk that abused drugs for years & now he is in charge of the WWE wellness policy.

    Luger was a jerk back then, but I'm glad he changed his life for the better.

  • @James8107
    @James8107 11 років тому

    Doesn't disregard Luger for being a catalyst in Elizabeth's untimely demise. You are the company that you keep in life. So even though she was a grown woman, Luger was just as guilty as she was for the poor choices they BOTH made that cost her life and his downward spiral afterward.

  • @maraviyoso8473
    @maraviyoso8473 11 років тому

    It's sad that one of the best physiques in wrestling, either because of his illness or the natural and sad effects of steroids, seems so fragile, but at least Luger has shown the inner strength that he was lacking while active.

  • @Gamebox27
    @Gamebox27 11 років тому

    Cornett says Diesel only had 5 moves. I don't doubt it. Luger had a superplex, vertical suplex, pile driver, torture rack, clotheslines with either arm (does that count as two?), powerslam, press slam, figure four, running back elbow, running forearm, drop kick, running cross body out of an irish whip, back breaker, cross body from the top rope, basic kicks and punches, and plenty of flex variations to psyche the opponent out.
