Lex Luger talks Steroids 

Ah! That explains why he looks so aged. I thought he was in his 70s before I saw that he's 61.

Eddie, he found God is a great thing!!!!!

Bob Klein yes it is

Where did he find god

batman in his consciousness and soul

exactly ! good of Lex to be so open and honest about that delicate topic. he is a good man, god-fearing and at peace with himself.

BUT HE IS NOT TELLING THE TRUTH! WAKE UP!

@@duaneapadhaisky7005 and you know this how?

Check out Larry Wheels too - very young dude that is very introspective and self aware, and is very open and transparent about his use of gear. Record power lifter, body builder, and now strong man, dude is a FREAK. Gear was just a supplement to his genetics LOL

I am. galD. lex. is. Cristian

Me too, 36 now and was obsessed with wrestling around 22yr ago. Lex Luger was kind of anti-hero back then who came bust into the ring with a baseball bat lol. But that looks nothing like this humble nice guy. He seems to have lost all his muscles too. I remember he said he's lucky or even surprised to be alive still after all the use. I remember the incident too where miss Elizabeth who was in WCW too sometime passed away with him due to drugs use. Not necessarily his fault tho.

"...how common it WAS?" Are you naive or stupid?

I mean it’s pretty obvious everybody in that era used. There’s no way all those dudes looked like that without using. You can tell most the dudes these days have probably never used roids and they have regular fit bodies to show for it.

@@MichaelSmith-te3nv It was VERY common. Why be so hateful? It’s a fact that steroids dominate(ed)sports, MMA, boxing, professional wrestling, and even Hollywood. That man was so ripped when I was 14 years old. He looks like a sick old man now and I’m only 41. It’s surreal and heartbreaking to see one of my wrestling heroes literally dwindle to a small, frail man. Lex is blessed to have his life still though…so many amazing talent has been tragically lost to steroid and drug abuse. Thank God it’s actually being tested for and taken seriously now. I

lol admitting to steroid use isnt rare. it was in the 80s and 90s when their jobs depended on it but its out in the open common knowledge at this point. denial about it would make them look worse than admittance

Dont think he’d admit to the recreational street drugs though.

Maybe the question should be asked "why did you beat up Elizabeth?"

@@malikvonsaint8717 the steroids!

I met LEX LUTER, when he was an American wrestling star, he was a good citizen, super strong, extremely muscular, a living force of nature, he took more than two hundred kilos in weight training exercises, and he was extremely agile, he was a WARRIOR of modern times, a VIKING of the modern era, I was sorry that hollywood did not hire him to make action films, he made an excellent actor in action films and fights, he could be an excellent CONAN the Barbarian, or a Viking warrior in movies, he had a lot of professional pressure on him, and ended up consuming drugs and sank but GOD almighty, once again helped him to overcome this difficult phase. ,,,

It's crazy right

I know time flys

Yep. I remember he used to be the narcissist Lex Luger when he was cut from stone

...yellum

i never thought the day would come where i could say i was in better shape than lex luger :/

It all comes down to who Vince likes and doesn't like. The Bella twins married John Cena and Daniel Bryan so that no doubt played a huge role in their inductions. Luger left the WWE on bad terms so that might be why he hasn't gotten in (though I'm sure he'll get in sooner or later).

@@billymarino4452 UFC is petty like that too .....

Wwe is a complete joke now. The roster is so garbage. They wanna put a bunch of clowns in wwe and watching it today is like watching days of our lives.

@@billymarino4452 But didn't he work with WWE in some capacity regarding the wellness policy?

I think Vince will always hold Lex responsible for Miss Elizabeth's death.

Classic

I watched it live, i actually rushed home from school, just to witness it

​@@diro9655 Rushed home from School?? I remember it being on the fourth of July, Summer of 93' on the U.S.S Intrepid---unless there was another occasion where slammed him?

No no no, no slam my Yokozuna, it was a hip toss!

@Joseph Reed Lol. If you know how the manoeuvres work, you'll know that there is minimal load bear when body slams are executed. Effectively Yoko flipped himself and Lex just guided the fall, that's how most wrestling manoeuvres work, the momentum is created by the person being lifted.

Maybe play He-Man in his prime days?

@@ExaltedMarauder I think he'd looked good as a He-man character but we needed a totally different movie than what was wrote.

@Nakia Irvin You can't look like Lex Luger did in his prime without the genetic foundation he had.

I think he could have done a good job as he man - if Dolph Lundgren can pull it off then luger surely could have too

Yes. He was called the total package and man in his prime he was long and lean and looked great.

Yah but look at hogan for example, booker t.....they fresh Af....drugs destroy kids

I don't knock him for looking how he does, but I remember being in high school in 1988 and seeing Paul Heyman as a manager, Paul E dangerously back in those days, and thinking he was in his forties. I was absolutely shocked when I learned years later that he was 23 years old at the time.

@@IvanJPerez look at hogan lol. He looked like he was 55 when he was 30

@@IvanJPerez Dude, Booker and Hogan where the kings of drugs! Apparently you are too, because you're smoking something.

Lex Luger puts big wrestler in torture rack

could probably sing better than DLR too...

@@Funrunner008 I agree. The Sam Hagar era was far too poppy.

That's why I clicked the video. I thought it was Dave.

Agreed. It's always the drugs and booze

Agreed pain killers and opiates are always ignored but they kill the most athletes

That's true. That combo is way worse.

Spot on, he partied hard and drank harder.

@@andytap560 Pain killers are opiates....

Man E Mr. J you are very wrong. Lex was big time.

The only move were as soon as he picked you up they ringin the bell😂😂😂☠☠☠

@Man E Mr. J Not true. Lex was as over as any wrestler in the business in 97.

@Man E Mr. J I'm not arguing his wrestling abilities or mic work. I agree they weren't anything special. I only had an issue with you saying he wasn't ever a top tier guy. Also you don't necessarily need to have the 3 things you mentioned to get over. Look at Goldberg. Goldberg was the most over thing in WCW and he couldn't talk or wrestle. Sting was red hot in 97(probably the hottest he has ever been in his career) from mostly spending his time in the rafters and not talking or wrestling for a whole year. Both Goldberg and Sting were more over than Ric Flair had ever been in WCW. Another category which I think your forgetting is a signature move which is really what got Luger over in 97. The torture rack was one of the most over moves in WCW. Luger torture racking everyone in 97 is what propelled him to top tier status for a little while. So yes Luger lacked in ring ability and mic skills but he made up for what he lacked in his look and signature move.

Nah there was the fucking Ultimate Warrior!

And many of them paid a terrible price for it. A lot of those guys are dead now.

Body yes, face 😕

@Losah Tattletales that's what she's saying ,he said every guy wanted to look like lex,she said and they are now paying for it (steroids) Learn to read between the lines.

I think Rick Rude had the best physique in that era.

Grow a pair.

@@JaysonT1 you wish you could

Nazman71 you are huge too! Wow!

What do you expect Some are human and some are mutants with bad genes that spoil like milk

Most of you are humans....some are superhuman.

Unless you're Arnold or Sylvester.

@usmc 03retired Arnold is still not a little old man. Didn't you see him get dropkicked from behind? He hardly even moved. The guy is still a beast.

Not to me. He looks way over 70.

Rite!

Late 50's still,isn't he ?

I agree bro. He's living which is great. Respect the man and stop criticizing on how people look. He seems happy so that's all that matters.

@@DCoopVideos That's the problem everyone obsessed with how we look instead of how we feel.

I met LEX LUTER, when he was an American wrestling star, he was a good citizen, super strong, extremely muscular, a living force of nature, he took more than two hundred kilos in weight training exercises, and he was extremely agile, he was a WARRIOR of modern times, a VIKING of the modern era, I was sorry that hollywood did not hire him to make action films, he made an excellent actor in action films and fights, he could be an excellent CONAN the Barbarian, or a Viking warrior in movies, he had a lot of professional pressure on him, and ended up consuming drugs and sank but GOD almighty, once again helped him to overcome this difficult phase. ,.,,

He said the neck injury really changed him

Lex became a born-again Christian a few years ago. When you truly find the Lord all ego, bitterness and worldly concerns disappears. He has no reason to lie about it.

Of course you would lose it, his look was based of taking steroids. Your body would eventually revert back to normal once off the juice hence why Lex looks the way he does today, same thing with Val Venis, he looks literally the same

@@RedRaptor7 He was clean in the WWF. He was MUCH smaller than his before and after WCW days and that was when Vince was drug testing them like crazy. Nash and Bret both said you go to an afternoon show and theyd drop a random drug test on you and theyd be there again for the evening show.

@@StuUngar Dude, you are insane to think they weren't still doing roids in the 90's.

@@a7xtherevrend all reports are that after he left wcw and went to wwe he stopped. empirically it would seem to add up. if you saw him in wcw he was gassed to the max. when he came to wwe has narcissus he was MUCH leaner. but it is likely he took a bit of steroids

The steel elbow was the most lethal move in wrestling history.

The steel implant is actually a stupid gimmick. I know for a fact that steel attached to bone hurts more than the strike does the other guy. My 4-yo nephew head-butted my collarbone last winter, just playing. I almost dropped him cuz my arm went dead on me for a time.

Hope they induct him next year before he passes away.

I agree. Lex was better than a lot of others in the WWE Hall of Fame. 2 time world Champion, 5 time US Champion. He had a hell of a run

Are you fucking serious ? When he admits to killing Miss Elizabeth he can go on his one way trip to hell.

Nah. He was an average wrestler

@@anniejackson4393 he didn’t kill anyone. Liz sadly passed because of the substances she took

Yeah, really refreshing. And yes, his genetics were unbelievable...

Bob Holly in his book is super honest about it.

@@stingersplashentertainment3410 Bret Hart was too, to an extent. I mean, he probably downplayed his usage and he made it seem like he didn't know what it was the first time he used them which came off as bullshit to me but I was shocked when I read him admit to continuous usage.

Tony Atlas, Sting, Chris Jericho, Vader and many others have all spoken about using steroids, plus as Lex said in this video, they weren't even illegal until the late 1980s/early 1990s and most guys in the legal days used it under the supervision of a doctor.

How do you know he's being honest. Cheaters lie

I was 15 at the time.

9

He was a legit 6'3" in his prime. In 1999, he definitely wasn't at his heaviest/largest. He was probably about 255 pounds at the time, compared to 280 a few years earlier.

@@Danimal77 I stood next to him. I think he was 6'2" and about 245 but ripped to shreds. The veins in his biceps were so thick. Tell-tale sign of steroid use.

Lex Luger is a legend. My top favorite wrestler is Sting, but Lex is no slouch and he deserves recognition for his contributions to the wrestling community. It was shocking to see how Lex looks now for me. I am thankful he is still alive and that he turned his life to God/christianity. Lex, thank you for the entertainment you provided wrestling fans over the years.

You must understand something. When these guys say they go off for 2 or 3 months they mean they lower the test dose and stop taking the other drugs. I have used steroids and an now nearly 52 on trt. I know that when you go off you cannot maintain your muscle mass for more than 3 weeks.
