Lugar didn't like wrestling at all. It was just a way to make money for him and it showed. It's a shame he didn't have passion for the game - he could have been so much bigger.
You just have to listen to the crowd response to know that Luger did draw more than a few dimes. He wasn't Hogan, Austin, or the Rock, but few people are. Luger did draw a bit.
I agree with Edgehead10075's comments, WWF was grooming Luger for the WWF Title but he never drew and his matches were well under managements expectations, originally planned to pin Yoko for the title those plans were scrapped and Vince decided to give the title back to Bret Hart....very wise
And Lex Luger looking like a big bitch as usual. You'd think in the 15 or so years that Luger was a wrestler, it might have dawned on him that he was chiseled as fuck and shouldn't be in the role of "hero that gets his ass kicked by everyone only to somehow win".
Has you can see in this video, you should never squash Luger against the ring post in the outside, because that will actually "Hulk up" Luger and lead you to a loss :D
Wrong...Lugar was a great talent. Look at the way WCW used him from 89 till he left in mid 92. He was a superstar and a high sought after talent which is why Vince Mcmahon signed him to the first WWF garenteed contract ever in 1993. His presence in 1993 saved the WWf from being completly laughable, and for all those critics that have come out of the woodwork, they are just mad he got the push and they didn't. Its that simple!!!
@Edgehead10075 so whata abouyt when he was super over in 96 and especially 97, which was arguably the height of pro wrestling.
Bret Hart never drew a dime outside of Canada.
Faces put people in the seats, and Hart was never over much as a face. Luger was 3 different times, -
90 as us champ
94 WWF
96-97 WCW
Shit when luger won belt in august 97, he was more over than anybody ever. Every single person in the building was screaming, and he didnt need A SINGLE CATCHPHRASE.
I don't remember Luger ever being that over at all. WWE picked Bret to win the title at WM X instead of Luger because Bret was more over. Period.
Hart never much over as a face? Lol.
The people screamed because Hogan lost the title, not because Luger won it. Luger never drew a dime, and Bischoff has said that he only let Luger back into WCW because Sting asked him to. Luger had zero charisma whatsoever.

All of Lugers moves in this match:

Luger never drew a dime. Bret Hart was way more popular and a way better wrestler. Again, Luger never drew a dime.
