Having watched Lex Luger growing up as a wrestling fan, I was stunned watching this. Not just by the physical difference, which is shocking to see, but in watching Lex's manner of speaking as well. The spiritual/mental change is as drastic as the physical, and so very evident. I wish him well. If he has had a rebirth in Christ, you can only say Amen to that.

That day when he slammed Yokozuna in NY was absolutely epic to watch as a child!

I was never a huge fan of lex when he wrestled, but to see the man he became is an inspiration.

This is an amazing story. A guy who went from living from the outside-in to the inside-out. Good for him. He looks legitimately happy.

Lex Luger is a legend. One of my favorite wrestlers.

he seems like a truly humbled and good man. glad he turned it around. he was one of my favorite wrestlers as a kid.

Lex Luger seems like a very nice guy! He has changed so much!

While you may want to comment on his change of appearance, pay attention to his change of heart. He spoke with humility and owned up to all the wrong he had done. That takes alot of humility. I am pleased and dare I even say proud that he and Sting (Steve Borden) were scripted friends in WCW and later in life both turned to the Lord Jesus Christ. A wonderful testimony

The respect he has when he talks 🗣

I am proud of the man he's become. He genuinely seems to have taken responsibility for his bad actions in the past. I wish him nothing but the best. I wish I could of met him.

So glad to know this man got saved, one of my heroes growing up.

I was never really a lex luger fan but it's really good to see him surviving & mentally happy.. he could've ended up like so many other lost souls.. curt hennig,rick rude,kerry von erich,chris benoit, the list goes on and on..

R.I.P. Ms. Elizibeth.

Lex Luger is now more awesome than ever. He has found spiritual life and has leaped beyond the flesh. God will continue to be with him from now on.

Lex Luther was Superman's nemisis, not Batman's

It's funny how everyone is commenting on how Lex is small now because of the "lack of steroids." Lex had a tremendously serious spinal injury, which caused him to lose a lot of weight. If you think he can even do half of what he used to, you're kidding yourself. The man is very fortunate to still be walking, much less alive!

Very good insight into Lex' s life. I am very happy that he found the peace he was always looking for . This book is not just for wrestling fans . It is for anyone who has had tough times in there life

Me too, christianity is a beautiful thing, ive met great people from it. Don't let bad people turn you off of faith. Im glad lex found god, to help him find his way .

Praise the Lord 4 Lex's 4/3/06 salvation!

Lex Luger definitely seems to be changed and humble now. It's kind of sad and tragic that he gained this mindset after losing everything. If he had the look of then with the mindset of now he would have done so much more in his career. Still I'm extremely happy that he's found his way and I hope the younger generation look at him as a lesson of where bad choices can lead you. Self responsibility is possibly the major factor between being a wrestling success and a wrestling tragedy.

I never comment on any of these videoes but as a believer in Jesus Christ I enjoy watching testimonies they are put on here for people to hear the good news how someones life has been changed by God my question is why do you even get on here and watch them and then make all these nasty comments? It's because you yourself are searching for something God loves each and everyone of you.

Utterly shocked to see Luger now. After reading about what he had to go through, his illness, all that time in hospital has wasted him to the bone. It shows how thankful he is, to be still with us, after so many of his generation have left us. I hope Luger spends the rest of his life in peace, he deserves it after all those dedicated years entertaining people around the world.

I was a big fan of Lex back in the day. It takes a lot of courage to face your demons. I’m glad he’s doing better.

That's good to hear that Lex changed his life for the better. Im glad to hear good news. Its so sad that so many of the wrestlers from the 80's and 90's are gone. It was an awesome part of mine and many others childhoods.

God bless you Lex

Much love Lex!!! I remember this guy as a kid. He had a wrestling move that was similar to Brock Lesner's, where he would put you on his shoulders. It was absolutely amazing. He's a changed man. Much respect. Thank God he is able to walk...

I was into wrestling when I as around 10 years old and the only fight I can remember is when Luger threw Yokozuna out of the ring. It was unheard of that someone like Luger could lift this huge mountain of a man and throw him out of the ring. I thought it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen.

What a lovely man. Never got the push he deserved with WWE!

The Total Package is a man of the Lord....who knew. I remember him in WWE, first man to bodyslam Yokozuna who was 568 pounds if I remember correctly.

what a change, not just physical but spiritual.. he's become so likable, i wish him well....

He really came off like a very respectful and humble guy. It's so good to hear someone take responsibility for his actions. I feel like I'm in the minority of people who can actually admit when I have done the wrong thing so it is really refreshing to hear that from another. I bet his entire outlook on life changed for the better when he got things off of his chest and started living a more positive lifestyle. Even people we have written off, not to say I wrote Lex Luger off (or even thought deep enough into his life) have more good in them than we could have imagined. Sometimes there is just some form of obstacle in their life preventing them from realizing their true potential.

Very humble guy made mistakes and faced up to them...

Im happy for Lex , hes been through a lot and seems like to be in a good place in his life

I am short circuiting! He is so different from how I remember him. He seems so humble. So glad he turned his life around.

"For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7 Brings joy to my heart to see Lex Luger born again and redeemed in Christ.

idc who did it.....im gonna miss you Miss Elizabeth :'( R.I.P

growing up watching Lex and seeing him now....makes me wonder when his steroid past will catch up with him, just like it did Piper. Its like a curse that returns at 55. RIP to all of the wrestlers who gave us everything and lost it all in the end.

still remember lex lifting yokozona in one of the matches,Miss the 90's...

I had the privilege of interviewing Lex. He is actually a very humble and sweet guy. I guess it's true when they say tragic experiences can change a person's perspective and attitude towards others and towards life. I would so interview him again.

It saddens me to see Lex in the physical condition he is, especially because a lot of the guys he was wrestling with back in the day are still wrestling and have still managed to keep up their physique for their age. I'm so glad he made a recovery and is doing well though!

I miss the nWo wolfpack. Im old :(

I just met Luger at Wrestlecon in Detroit Michigan. He is really a great guy and so friendly. I have his book lots of heavy stuff but he overcomes them. Though he may be in a wheelchair but at least he conquered his demons and give his life to God. When I met he was really happy. He always positive that shows what kind a great guy he is priase God.

Lex Luger was always my favorite wrestler as a kid. So sad to see what's happened to his body, glad he's still alive though with so many greats dying.

"When mortals stop talking to you, you find a higher power who will listen" - Jim Cornette.

I'm so glad by Gods grace Lex got his life together and even though he's in a wheelchair hes happy and at peace.

Wow, incredible interview and I hope Lex stays on track!

Lex had unreal genetics and imo, definitely the best body in the business. He really did look amazing. However, roiding can tend to be very complex area. I have some education in biology and chemistry, and general anatomy, and i have been lifting over 20 years and been around MANY people on roids. Believe it or not, the best time to be on them, testosterone, GH, etc, is when youre a lot older, typically 40+, and the reason is, because your endocrine, glands, and hormones secrete much less, as well as aging, metabolism slows, etc. When your 19, mid 20s, you dont need to be flooding your body with it, and if you dont stack it properly or take the right ester mixes and all that jazz, it will shut down your own system, since it will adapt to the 'overdose', essentially. But honestly, if you do it in a proper clinical manner, at the right time in life and know exactly the kind to take pertaining to what your goals are, they are far from deadly, even beneficial. You see, the problem with Luger, Steiner, Dynamite Kid, Davey Boy, and many others, is it wasnt illegal back then. These guys loaded up on everything, most of them not even knowing wtf they were doing or taking, and yes, with the constant slamming, crashing, and banging nt the canvas, chairs, tables, cement, etc, it has a huge toll on the heart, hence why so many die young. And yes, he did have a major injury, so...he obviously cant do what he used to do pertaining to his old routines, and hes much older now as well. Im sure people heard the Warrior just died as well..unreal. Now, you look at him though, he was Lex's age roughly and looked fantastic before he died. Eh....i mean, hey, Lex found the right path in life, people just need to stop flaming him and forgive and forget. I dont believe at all he was a murderer, just ridiculous and no reason why he would kill her or anyone. He just lived a bad life in the fast lane, made mistakes, etc. None of us are perfect.

God bless 🙏😇😇😇 Mr. Luger!! Stay in the fight man, life is hard, but you have to keep on pushing and keep on praying!!

Once completely beautiful outside and now completely beautiful inside. His pomp and glory may have been stripped away but what he has now is worth so much more. I love this!

Amazing story. Great to see people grow from their past experiences and past decisions.

LOL!!! I love how he introduces him as Lex Luthor. Hilarious.

This man has truly done, and seen it all.

I remember seeing Lex in person in 1986 when he was in Championship Wrestling from Florida as he was the Southern Heavyweight Champion. He was my favorite and am happy he is content with life.

not a fan of this show but Lex brought me here. I am happy to see him doing as well as he is and his peace he seems to have received.

He seems happier now as a partially crippled man than he ever did as a 6 foot 5 adonis...incredible.

Man, I can't watch this any more...

Wow Lex just owned everything and was very articulate in every answer he gave. Respect! He didn't shy away from anything and owner it all. I really hope he is well and at peace

Amazing story. Thanks. God bless you.

Praise God for such a great testimony! I remember watching Lex in WWF a long time ago!

dam where'd the rest of him go....

Outstanding interview: man....that was love just how pat continued to have a man crush almost on Luther and kept reminding him he was the prettiest wrestler in all of wrestling......that was testament to the Lord lifting you up with uncommon favor when you humble yourself under His hand and you can tell Luther is waking in the grace of God; may God bless his heart N recovery.

what a humble guy. with a inspirational story.

People need to give Lex a break, sure he may have taken performance enhancing drugs that had an adverse effect on his body. But I actually respect him more now than when he was wrestling with that fantastic body in the 1980's and 1990's. He's found God and he's for real now.

Lex is awesome!!! God Bless.

It's amazing (or maybe not) the juvenile comments here about Lex. He made his mistakes and now hopefully he is on a better path. His health has suffered but he seems to have the spirituality to deal with it. Hope he gets well

What a stand-up guy is he, he's come a long way, big props to you lex!!

He seems very appreciative.

God is merciful and all praise to him. He wishes that all would repent and come to him through His son Jesus, the Christ. I am glad to see Lex has said yes to Jesus.

I remember watching Lex Luger wrestler when i was a kid he was my favorite. Really warms my heart to see that he and wrestler sting found GOD.

I love Lex more now than when he had the fabulous bod! Cause now he has a heart of gold and he’s a man of God!

I hate the way people talk about wrestlers who done steroids back in the day. Its like people think they deserve every tragedy in their lives because they took steroids at some stage in their careers.

I'm gonna buy this book now.

Nice to see a wrestling story with a happy ending.

He is very humble and well spoken. Awakening to your True Self is worth more than any fame or fortune.

respect and glad he is still alive.

awesome guy. God bless him

God bless you Lex, I to ruptured my L4L5 and pinched off my sciatic, I needed an ambulance to take me out of my home to hospital where I needed immediate surgery. I had a hard time walking again for months after, was hardest thing I have had to do. I am so glad for your recovery and wish you the best. I'm quite sure he won't read this, but in case he does 😁👍

So encouraging! God seeks out the lost.

So glad he found Jesus that's the most important thing in our lives.

I m glad he's on a better path now and I'm glad that he realizes that the bad choices he made using drugs effected Elizabeth and caused her death..

Oh my goodness, I can't watch this.

Wow Lex Luger is very articulate and seems to be happy and at peace,, that's inspirational

He's proof that workout too much is pointless, it will die out. Enjoy life.

Ephesians 6: 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the powers, authorities, against the rulers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

RIP Miss Elizabeth, the most prettiest girl I have ever seen on this planet in 55yrs...

Long comment but... as a teen, I started watching every MWA show just to spend time with my dad and what was initially torture time to me watching it was quickly replaced by shared interest. I became a huge fan. Dad and I went to see WCW live several times. Lex Lugar put a stop to all that when I was seated 2nd row seat next to my dad at the Roanoke (Va) Civic Center in 1988 (possibly 89?). Lugar was in the ring, slowly circling around & appearing to eat up the applause. He'd just entered the ring a moment before. Yes, being 17, I was standing at my seat, applauding & cheering right along, although I wasn't loudly chanting "take it off" as some were as be teased abt removing his shirt - I was a daddy's girl and out with my dad but even if alone, I wouldn't have acted like trash at Lugar's suggestion! But when be circled around facing our direction, Lugar stopped and looked me in the eyes, then *pointed* directly at me and said aloud in front of everyone else there, "YOU! Why don't you take YOUR shirt off?!" with a sly grin on his face and kept staring at me for what seemed an eternity but was likely seconds. I was humuliated. I immediately stopped cheering & sat back down. My first thought was wondering if my dad had heard him. I then recall being too embarrassed to look up and wondered if fellow fans were staring at me in disgust. My third memory is recognizing all happiness and excitement were gone from my face. I envisioned fellow fans seeing my blank-looking face as I stared at the floor, although they likely paid no attention to my reaction, nor even stared at me as I feared that day. I don't remember the rest of the night & I never went to another live event again, only occasionally watching WCW on TV when dad asked if I wanted to watch. Every few years the Lex Lugar thing pops in my head and I still wonder if my dad heard him that night - we've never mentioned it. There's no way he didn't see and hear Lugar, though. Last night the memory popped in my head and I'm still disgusted he ruined my favorite times I would've spent w my dad, all bc Lex Lugar was a h0rny, throw-it-around-in-every-town kinda man, who just had to publicly ask a 17yo standing next to her dad to take her shirt off. He likely assumed I would just do it for him but unlike him, I had morals. There's no commandment abt not cussing so F you Lex Lugar! I still work on forgiving you even though you couldn't care less, and likely remember even less than you care. Presbyterians are taught to forgive and hate no one. But cussing? No position. It's hard reconciling the teen-chasing, grown man with the person Lugar says he now is. Yeah I still might be just a touch angry abt it and is my problem, not Lugar's. Maybe it'd be helpful to listen to this interview. (Any other former die-hard Four Hourseman fans?). Side note: years ago I was seated next to Andre the Giant on a plane for hours and he was a very nice, down to earth man. I immediately recognized him! RIP.

Hey Pat,lex Luther was in Superman peckerhead not Batman....

I'm so glad to see Lex Luger has found God to help him get his life back together.

He was amazing back in the 80's. He had that confident look.

Can we get over the fact wrestling is staged? I swear everytime i get into a conversation with someone about why i like wrestling we dont get much past wrestling is scripted. Yes... Yes i know... Thank you... Ive only been watching wrestling for close to 28 years now. I mean people are like stuck like a broken record.
