Lex Luger vs. Dick Murdoch (Power Hour 11/10/89) Jim Cornette and a more sports oriented, less hyperbolic Jim Ross on commentary. Talk about a dream team, and they helped paint the match’s picture completely for me. The first few minutes is as simple as punches and wrist locks, and the story works so perfectly. You [...]

Match # 64: Lex Luger and DDP vs. The Outsiders (Nitro 8/18/97) Kim Page comes out for the intro of the faces. DDP had some good qualities other than working hard, and one of those was Kim. Outsiders totally out cool the inspirational goof and the body builder. This may or may not be for [...]

Match # 63: Hollywood Hogan vs. Lex Luger (Nitro 8/4/97) This was Luger’s big title shot and a rare Hogan Nitro title defense to headline the first three hour Nitro. I remember this night as I was at Stabler Arena for the live WWF RAW the night after Summer Slam. MFP and I made a [...]

Match # 58: Lex Luger vs. Hollywood Hogan (Nitro 6/9/97) Hogan walks out to a HUGE pop in a white NWO Syxx-Pac t-shirt. The Bisch is out with him being arrogant as ever. Hogan apparently will never get skin cancer. No idea how he’s avoided it with that orange tan. They do mic work. It’s [...]

Match # 37: Harlem Heat vs. The Steiner Brothers vs. Sting and Lex Luger (Nitro 6/24/96) Again, I think this one was put on more for extra content surrounding the match (Historical content) than the match itself. This three way doesn’t have the luster of the earlier Three Way (Match # 24), but I remember [...]

Match # 34: The Steiner Brothers vs. Sting and Lex Luger (Nitro 6/3/96) I’m assuming this is babyface vs babyface. It’s also the last feud they would all have before the NOW years, so I guess I should enjoy the last gasp of the Steiners or the old Stinger. I’m skeptical, but then Scott Steiner [...]

Match # 30: Lex Luger vs. The Giant (Nitro 5/13/96) The Giant is dominant monster heel champ at this point having killed Ric Flair for the belt. The future Big Show is in great shape too. Luger is just Luger. Who knows or cares if he’s a good guy or a bad guy in the [...]

Match # 25: Sting/Lex Luger vs. Ric Flair/The Giant (Nitro 4/15/96) I have no idea why Flair and the Giant made friends after their match (Match # 23). I guess there just that much of bad guys. Sting and Luger are always friends no matter what. I’m not expecting to much out of this, aging [...]

Match # 10: Sting and Lex Luger vs. Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman (Nitro 11/27/95) Horseman vs the WCW foundation dream team. Alright with me. Pillman and Anderson are great, and Sting works up or down to the level of opponent. Only Luger makes me nervous here, but he’s been known to put together better [...]
