how did he manage to stay in the main event so long without drawing

>>2186800
Probably that big contract. Can't have him on the midcard while paying him that much.

>>2186800
>muscles
>no talent
that is literally all you need to become a main eventer in WWE

>>2186800
He was the Roman Reigns of his time. I wonder if smarka ironically supported him as well?

>>2186893
Maybe in WWF but in WCW Luger was over and got a huge pop when he beat hogan

>>2186800
He was a big guy that looked awesome and was consistently pushed and people were a bit more open to that back then, and while he wasn't the most charismatic or even terribly good you could actually see him progress and he had some kind of weird appeal to him that made him oddly memorable even though you knew he wasn't that good.

>be built as Hogans replacement
>draw 0 dimes
what did lexetty mean by this?

>>2186800
Same way Roman Reigns did. He kept on getting booked like a top guy when he was shit.

he was making almost a million in wcw in 2000

nobody has gotten more out of less in wrestling history

>>2186800
He was over as fuck for a while in WCW. They wasted the potential they had in him and Sting badly in 96/97.

The Torture Rack is possibly one of the worst finishers ever.

>>2186915
this. luger was over as fuck in wcw.

>>2186995
>be built as Cena's replacement
>draw 0 dimes
He really was the Roman Reigns of his time.

Remember, back then The Fed's crowds were very different to DubyaCeeDubya. Luger got huge in the South because they were used to seeing pot-bellied mustached brawlers and then comes along this Californian bodybuilder with flowing blonde hair, of course he was going to stand out.

But in the Fed crowds, he was just a smaller and way less charismatic Hogan.

>>2186915
So if he goes to TNA will Roman be over?

>>2187064
>TNA

when Luger beat Hogan for the belt WCW was destroying WWF in the ratings

>>2187063
What is fed?

i like a lot of his old matches.with flair and.sting.in the late70s/early80s was he really that green and protected?

i remember him lifting yoko was a big thing and his steel forearm.gimmick

My first memory of wrestling is seeing Lex Luger bounce his man titties and get everybody hyped up that he was gonna bodyslam that fatshit Yokozuna on that aircraft carrier but he couldn't get it done.

Lex Luger is a loser

you've shit taste

>>2187307
do you realize how much of an antidraw you have to be to make vince "big guys" mcmahon consider pushing bret hart to the main event instead of you

he actually drew a lot in nwa, wcw and wwf

The infamous Luger-Brody match in Florida. Lex ran as Brody started shooting.

>>2187307
being over =/= being a draw

>>2189050

In fairness, steroid trial was also a factor in BretShawn's push.

>>2186800
listened to Bryan Alvarez on Lance Storm's and Cyrus' podcast yesterday
he talked about how Luger got a YUGE pop when he won the WCW belt (and then had to give it back to Hogan a few days later)

Yet another moment they wasted on for free. And Hogan won the title back the same week at the shitty Hog Wild PPV.

>>2186893
It's not really fair to compare them.

Back then, they had to actually listen to fans. Now they can just change their minds on a whim.
