@@fmthebaron That always cracked me up about Luger. A comparably "loud" wrestler would be the Barbarian, which to me always made sense as the Barbarian was supposed to be a savage/neanderthal type power wrestler, so for him to go "ARRGGHH" whenever delivering or taking a big move fit his character. Didn't make as much sense with Luger to be so loud as he depicted an arrogant/high-strung heel or a clean-cut babyface (i.e. not some kind of half-beast character like the Barbarian...)

My buddy and I met him when we were at a gas station just outside of Disney World back in '96 or '97. WCW used to film out of MGM Studios for a short time and he was filling his car up after one of the shows (I presume). I said hi and he seemed a little hesitant to talk at first but when we didn't act all fanboy and I went back to filling up my car, his demeanor change and he came over and had a short conversation with us. Really really nice guy.

Yup me too. I was 4 years old when he had the narcisist gimmick thats one of the first things i remember from wrestling and one of the first things i remember period. The mirror and the running forearm, and my neighbour telling me he had a steel plate in his forearm. The lex express and him slamming yokozuna i remember even more vividly because i was a year or so older and more conscious of my sourroundings. I was a bret hart fan at that time though as almost every kid in germany. Later in WCW i always rooted for luger for old times sake, and he was pretty likeable at that time for sure, plus he had credibility as a big name from his WWE run. He doesnt get a lot of love from the smarks and the revisionist historians in hindsight but luger was a pretty cool wreslter back then. The first one to beat hollywood hogan...

He's wrong. Luger was the heel, the Narcissist gimmick was heel, Hennig was on his babyface run after turning face in November of 1992. Hennig lost the match to Luger with his feet clearly on the ropes, Narcisscist screwed Hennig, which led to Hennig chasing Luger to the back where Hennig was jumped by Shawn Michaels setting up their angle for Summerlam 1993.

Yes that is correct. He slammed Yokuzuna on the 4th of July on the deck of the USS Intrepid and that is when the all American Lex gimmick started. Major details like this not being remembered by guys that actually lived them leads me to wonder that if they can't get these dates or incidents correct, what else are they incorrect on when they do these interviews?

Its preposterous that Lex doesn't recall whether he was heel or baby face at his wrestlemania debut.

I thought that the Narcissist gimmick fit Lex Luger well. He'd humiliate his opponent by posing in front of the mirror & have all the women scream for him. Then after the match, he'd grab them & make fun of them while looking at the mirror saying that they're fat or jubby. I know I might get some comments on here after I say this, but instead of Yokozuna, I think they should've given Luger a run as WWF Champion. I feel like if they had kept Lex Luger as the Narcissist, he could've been WWF Champion before anyone would even know it.
