Wrestling with the Devil - Lex Luger

Just thought I would mention that Lex Luger has a new auto biography out called "Wrestling with the Devil".

In it he talks about his early years before wrestling, where he played pro football before moving on to wrestling, his drug addiction, his affair with Miss Elizabeth, his jail time, spinal injury and finding God.

Gavin and I are due to interview him next Monday, so if any of you have read the book or have a question for the Total Package, please let us know.

I have some questions if you're stuck for any.

Who inspired his workout ethic?
Was there any wrestler who's physique he admired?
If he could have had a run with someone else's story arc, who's would he pick?
Was there any story arc he felt uncomfortable with working through?
Who got saddled with the worst gimmick?
Who was his favourite opponent?
Who would he have liked to have wrestled from his era but wasn't able to?
Who would he have liked to have wrestled from any era?
Favourite NWA/WCW memory
Favourite WWF memory

His thoughts on Why his push in WWE didn't succeed?

Was he disappointed in having to drop the narcissist gimmick?

Does he think he'll enter the Hall of Fame?

If he could have his time again would he change anything?

What was running through his head when he walked out on Nitro only a few days after appearing at Summerslam, knowing that most people still thought of him as a WWF star?

This was quite a good part of the book.

he wasnt allowed to tell Vince as part of the deal. Apparently, he had been working without a contract at WWF for about 6 months at the time. His best Friend Sting found out and set up a meeting with Bischoff.

It was only on the morning of the show that he agreed to go. He was bundled into a van and taken to a hotel on theoutskirts of town - nobody knew except for the top hierarchy.

he confronted Hogan in the ring and apparently, Hogan had a right strop on him for breaking character when they went to adverts.

Ahhh I see, ok. I have the book on my Kindle but I am still reading Bob Holly's so haven't got round to reading it yet. Thanks Adam.

what's his opinion on having a name so similar to Superman's Arch Nemesis Lex Luthor? Did kids ever get confused?

Was he supposed to be SuperCena's Nemesis but his time machine from the future sent him to the wrong decade by mistake?

(Obvs one question is a serious one, the other not so much. ill leave it to you, the audience to decide, which is which)
