Lex back words is xel and if you turn the l side wats is a dash so that makes xe- now if you make the e longer you have a p that spells x-p now add a A and a C and you get X-Pac But like marino said, there is a feel good quality to this story. It would be nice to see Lex at the podium accepting his own award unlike so many other legends who are no longer around to do so. LMFAO!!! By far my favorite part of the 2.21.11 suspense so far, bravo. |

I was always a HUGE Luger fan growing up (hence my username). But glad to see he is getting inducted.

Wow, I never heard he regained his mobility. Note for WWE: please induct more people who can speak clearly and don't lose their place in a story every five minutes, last year's installment was just sad. Ok now read what you put and tell me you don't come off as a complete douche...... |

Luger/Flair Capital Combat for one off the top of my head. Luger wasn't the greatest wrestler out there, but what he did he did well. Plus when it comes to "WCW" you think Flair, Sting, Luger, The Steiners, etc. Lex Luger was a HUGE part of wrestling history Absolutely agree - I'm currently re-watching Wrestle War '89 where Luger was defending the US belt against Michael PS Hayes and that match was pretty damn good - crowd was more into it that any episode of the current RAW product. Luger might not have been the best worker in the world, and is labelled as a major underachiever in wrestling - but he drew, and at the end of the day it's how many asses you can get into seats that count. |

My friends and I went to see a taping of Thunder years ago. We sat right behind Larry Zbyszko and Tony Schiavone. During breaks in the show they turned and talked to us. My friend had a sign that simply said "Lex Lugar is not Good" and Zbyszko saw it and was cracking up and said I agree. So I'm sticking with Larry Legend on this one. I agree he was a huge star, I just thought he was awful in the ring. I would've never guessed he would be considered for the HOF. But then again Koko B Ware is in.

The HoF isn't as politically schemed as some may think. Wrestling is not like other legimitate sports where an athletes performance is judged off of stats, etc. A wrestling HoF should be made up of wrestlers who impacted the industry and wrestlers who played popular, recognizable characters. Who could ever forget the chubby black guy with the parrot? |

Lex Lugar is on my list of worst wrestlers of all time. Lex Lugar has no business in the HOF. If you disagree with me please tell one match he had that was good. You can't because he never did. He was the worst all selling someone else's moves. The Lugar yell. OOOOOh. Legends figure at best for Lugar. The only way he should be at the HOF is to induct Sting. Luger/Flair Capital Combat for one off the top of my head. There is no better example of a truly awesome Luger match. Nice call. |

I was never a big fan of Lugers,but I think he gets a bit of a bad wrap. His stuff in NWA/WCW from 87-92 was indeed decent. He had memorable matches with Flair,Sting,Windham,Pillman,Dusty Rhodes,Nikita Koloff,The Horsemen and Ron Simmons. Admittedly most of his stuff late in 91 was borish,he just didn't seem to care about wrestling at all anymore and indeed stepped away,but it was all better than the majority of his 93 -2000 career. He had a few bright moments in WWE and in his 2nd WCW run,but was never more than "ok" by then. All that said he has indeed made enough of an impact to deserve HoF status without question. He wasn't the best,but I think he was more capable than Hogan or Cena in the ring. At least in his Horsemen days thru 91. So ,if he goes in, congratulations Lex.

I'll be glad if he goes in. he wasn't the best in the ring, but I was always a fan. Not to mention the fact that he lives in Atlanta, so that greatly cuts down travel expense for WWE  |

Luger I cannot wait until he goes into the Hall of Fame this year in Atlanta, and if he does, he will be joining the class of HBK, and Luger won the Royal Rumble Match back in 1994 with Bret Hart as co-winners but he never became WWE Champion when he was in WWE, I wanted to see Luger win the 95 Rumble but in WCW is where he was more of a star, he was World Heavyweight Champion there, he was also United States Champion too, and Luger was a popular wrestler during the Monday Night Wars, was part of the nWo Black & White, part of the nWo Wolfpac, and he was a Horseman too, so I for one want to see him go in on April 2nd

But who would induct Luger into the Hall of Fame though, that's the question, would his kids do it? Or would Arn Anderson induct Luger into the Hall of Fame or...??
