Damn that's a lot of questions, but I always like Lex, so here's my try from memory:
1) fav singles match won: GAB '91 vs. Barry Windham for the vacant and newly created WCW World title - he came w/all-yellow gear, looked like a million bucks!
2) fav singles match lost: One of the PPVs in the late 80s/early 90s vs. Flair
3) fav tag match won: winning the Crockett Cup with Sting
4) fav tag match lost: SuperBrawl II? Him & Sting vs The Steiners (no contest I think thanks to Nikita's interference)
5) fav specialty match: The Iron-man tournament at Starccade '89
6) fav tag partner: Sting of course
7) fav opponent: Ron Simmons - evenly matched
8) fav gimmick: Total Package
9) fav fued: vs. Simmons
10) fav era: NWA (if you couldn't guess heh)
11) fav year: 1991
12) fav outfit: classic black gear/white boots OR his all-yellow/white boots combo
13) fav manager: JJ Dillon
14) fav move/hold: Torcher Rack - yes, dumb unrealistic move, but he made it work
15) fav entrance music: don't know
16) fav promotion: JCP's NWA
17) title you wish he held: WWF World Title
18) wrestler you wished he wrestled: Razor Ramon
19) match you wish he wrestled: ladder
20) ppv you wish he wrestled on: don't know

20 Questions - Lex Luger!2) fav singles match lost: vs yokozuna ss93He won that match by count out, see below. 20 Questions - Lex Luger!2) fav singles match lost: vs yokozuna ss93I know it wasn't for the belt, but he did technically win the match against Yoko at Summerslam '93. That match was for the WWF title belt, he won the match by count out which is why he didn't get the title. According to Bruce Prichard, Luger was supposed to win the title at the event but Vince changed the ending because he thought he should have been anointed champion on a bigger stage. So he was also supposed to win at WM10, however, by the time WM10 came around Bret emerged as the better choice so they went with him to win at WM10. |

I tell you what, go from Hulk Hogan to Lex Luger, right on! I am a huge fan of Lex Luger so I would have to respectfully disagree with Gorilla about being overrated and the WCW version of Warrior. I think both of those honors go to Bill Goldberg: injured guys, couldn't cut a promo, had to have squash matches to hide how green he was, and looked great in an 8x10. But on to my boy Lex Luger! 1) fav singles match won: Vs Windham Chi-Town Rumble. 2) fav singles match lost: Vs Flair Starrcade 88 3) fav tag match won: W/Sting Vs Arn/Tully Crockett Cup 4) fav tag match lost:W/Sting Vs The Steiners Suberbrawl I 5) fav specialty match: Doomsday Cage match. It's that bad that I have to say it's mt favorite. 6) fav tag partner:Sting 7) fav opponent: Windham 8) fav gimmick:The Narcissist. It didn't last long enough. 9) fav fued: Ron Simmons 10) fav era: Late 80s 11) fav year: 1996 - At the start of the year Sting and Lex were tag champions with Lex doing heelish things to win matches. Later that year Sting is up in the rafters because Lex didn't trust him. 12) fav outfit: Classic Black trunks. 13) fav manager: Harley Race 14) fav move/hold: Torture Rack 15) fav entrance music: USA theme. 16) fav promotion: JCP 17) title you wish he held: WWF Championship 18) wrestler you wished he wrestled: Vader 19) match you wish he wrestled: Great American Bash Flair 20) ppv you wish he wrestled on: Summerslam 1995 just to make his jump to WCW mean even more. |

2) fav singles match lost: Tatanka at SummerSlam 94 9) fav fued: Tatanka 19) match you wish he wrestled: Royal rumble 1992 20) ppv you wish he wrestled on: Royal rumble 1992 Wow, forgot about his run with Tatanka. It was a pretty good feud if I remember correctly, but then again I was young. Do you mean the 93 rumble when he debut in the WWF or the 92 rumble that Flair won? Either would have been cool. I know he did an interview with Heenan and Monsoon at WM8, not sure if he was out of the WCW at the time of the 92 rumble though. |

Agreed, I think he was tailor-made for this role. Until they dropped the title to Hogan, it looked like they were setting up a Bret Hart vs Narcissist match by summer slam, anyone know what there plans were for this? |

Luger's last WCW appearance was Superbrawl 92 that February.He would join the WWF soon after with his 1st appearance being the WM VIII interview. |

Agreed, I think he was tailor-made for this role. Tntil they dropped the title to Hogan, it looked like they were setting up a Bret Hart vs Narcissist match by summer slam, anyone know what there plans were for this? Yeah Hogan happened! The original plan, as far as the rumors go, Hogan wasn't going to wrestle at Mania and so the WWF was going for a "Double Main event" with Bret-Yoko and Luger-Perfect and leading to an eventual match with Luger-Bret. Along the way Hulk agreed to do Mania and plans changed to Hogan getting the belt. From that point there are two rumors that are floated about: The first one is that at King of the Ring Bret and Lex would face each other to get the right to face Hulk Hogan at Summerslam which would have been Hart-Hogan. The other rumor (and not as believable) is that Hogan would have still lost to Yokozuna at King of the Ring but Hogan would answer the challenge to body slam Yoko and the two would have another match at SummerSlam. But what changed all of this? Yep, Hulk Hogan. Hogan and the WWF decided to part ways and Hogan sat out the rest of his contract for 1993 and Vince McMahon changed Lex to the USA gimmick. The change was so sudden that Lex Luger as the Narcissist was being promoted to face Bret Hart in a lumberjack match at a house show a month prior to Summerslam. Here is a video from June 06, 1993 promoting the match between Luger-Hart for a house show that was going to take place July 8th, 1993. So imagine July 4th 1993 you see Lex slam Yoko and you go see this house show that has completely changed with Bret-Luger. |

I find it odd how they never went forward with the Luger/Bret feud that year. It started at WM IX at the brunch when Luger knocked em out and was mentioned on TV afterwards but dropped shortly after that.
They could've easily had these two be the finals in the KOTR tourney that year.

They could've easily had these two be the finals in the KOTR tourney that year. Lex going to a draw really hurt him at King of the Ring. It should have been Lex-Bret in the finals. But a lot of 93 was written and re-written because Hogan was going back and forth on two of the biggest PPV events that year, Mania and Summerslam. So creatively there hands were tied a few times. We know Hart won King of the Ring to make up for Mania. So one could guess that had Hogan not performed at Mania, and Hart retained the title, we would've gotten Lex-Bret at Summerslam with Lex potentially being the one to win the King of the Ring. |

His Narcissist character had so much potential. To the look,theme song etc. just gold. 25 years later and I'm still ticked off they made em an all American babyface.
We didn't get Bret/Luger for the belt that year but we did get the classic Bret/Lawler feud which IMO was feud of the year in 93. That's a good alternative I say.

Yeah, but that one didn't get a proper ending until 1995 because Lawler had legal troubles at the end of 1993 and they replaced him with Shawn in the Survivor Series match. |
