Lex Luger On If He Was Told He Was Winning The WWE Title, Appearing On The First Nitro, More
Dean Puckering and Chris Dutton interviewed "The Total Package" Lex Luger. In the interview, he discussed his career, finding religion and his future. Here are some highlights from the interview, you can check it out in its entirety here.
If he was told he was winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 10: "Contrary to what people believe, I was never told I was going to be given any kind of title. The only discussion me and Vince [McMahon] had was what to do with the Lex Luger character in the future if he DID decide to put the title on me. But no, I was never told I'd be WWF Champion at any point."
Appearing on the first Nitro: "On reflection, that was a pretty bad move by me. Me and Vince had a verbal agreement. I worked for him for 6 months without any sort of contract as my contract had expired. My mistake came when WCW signed me. I didn't get to have a conversation with Vince to tell him I'd be leaving. But that was 100% my fault."
Finding religion: "I feel wonderful now. I got to a point in my life where I realized that God is God and I'm not. I was beneath rock bottom but for whatever reason God put people in my life and he showed me the way. A very supernatural experience and that's the only way I can put it."
