He always seemed to get pushed wherever he went. I liked him a lot as a kid. He was jacked and slammed that big nasty Jap. You think he had the talent to get all the pushes he did? He did have some kind of intangible that made him special.

He sucked in the ring and on the mic for the first few years but he looked like a matinee idol Greek God and the NWA collection of promoters saw him as their golden boy to battle back against Vince's national expansion and Hulk Hogan so he got the ole rocket shoved up his ass right from the beginning

He debuted in Florida in 1985 and by 1987 he was in Jim Crockett Promotions, main eventing the second biggest promotion in the US and appearing on national television every week as a member of The Four Horsemen

It was smart to put him with the Horsemen because that gave him the star rub instantly but also they could hide his deficiencies in that group as he was carried by and learned from some of the best rasslers and talkers of all time every single night


I just wish that somewhere along the way, someone woulda taught him how to do a proper frickin' backbreaker :mad:


Bill Apter loved him and put photos of him all over those rasslin magazines of his

Thank you for this lore.

Yeah Luger sucked ass in the ring. How the heck can you be that athletic and not at least be a pretty good in ring worker? When he hit those forearms in the 90s I popped tho. It was a simpler time.

Even Big Nasty Bill knew, big muscles big checks!
 
Florida Lex Lugar(thats how they spelled it at first) was always my favorite look, with the stubble and NFL player mullet, he looked a bit rougher here than the shined up and pampered Lex that we saw by the time he debuted in JCP

It’s easy to see why he played O line in those days. The size of him!



And there’s Percy!

There's about 30 different versions of the story I've seen today, a few of them have Vader getting a comeback after chasing Orndorff to a small office and pinning Orndorff against the wall and having to get pulled off.

Arn Anderson for example gives the normal story everyone else gives of Vader hitting Paul and dropping him, turning his back and walking away and Paul getting up and hitting Vader from behind, dropping Vader and then kicking Vader in the head a few times. But Arn added that after Vader got up he swarmed Paul in the small office and only Meng was able to pull him off. He said if Meng wasn't there Vader probably would've killed him.

Most of the stories say Paul whooped Vader's ass, a few say Vader got a comeback. I must've remembered one of those.

Most of the stories seem to be people lying their asses off and saying they were there when they weren't just to get a cool story out on a shoot video <lmao>

If only Big Kev had been in the building so we could get the real story

He might've been there. It seems like half of the wrestling business was "standing right next to them" when it happened <lmao>

I don't know why these carny dudes make me smile so much, but they pop me every time.

My sister and my brother-in-law are WVU alums. I enjoyed far too much telling them that, by the lyrics, Country Roads is about the western part of Virginia and not West Virginia itself.
