Lex Luger makes a 'virtual' return

Credit: wwe http://us.wwe.com/inside/news/sdvsraw2011/exclusives/lexlugerinterview

"It's been more than 15 years since Lex Luger set foot in a WWE ring, but all that will change this holiday season when the legendary Superstar makes his SmackDownvs. Raw debut as a playable character through the latest downloadable content package. (View DLC Photo Gallery)

WWE.com called up the co-winner of the 1994 Royal Rumble to talk about his in-game character, his dream opponent and the legacy of Lex Luger.

WWE.com: You'll be a playable legend in this holiday season's downloadable content package. Were you involved in the creation of your character?

Lex Luger: I totally trusted THQ on that, but I just got a sneak peek preview and the realism is just incredible.

WWE.com: It must be interesting to see how your character has evolved since your appearance in 1995'sWrestleMania: The Arcade Game.

Luger: Oh yeah, it’s like night and day. I mean not just the technology, but the maneuvers and the different matches and all the alliances you can get involved in. The variety of choices they have now just blows me away.

WWE.com: You’ve had many personas over your career, but it’s the “All-American” Lex Luger that’s featured in the game. What are your memories of that time?

Luger: As far as the highlights of my career, slamming Yokozuna was just phenomenal. Everyone who goes on YouTube or Googles me, they always say, ‘I saw that thing where you slammed that gigantic guy!’ It really was an incredible experience.

WWE.com: You teamed with The British Bulldog during that era. Were you excited to learn that he's also a part of this package?

Luger: The Allied Powers are back! Isn’t that cool? That’s part of the fun of this game. You’re able to put teams together and get us involved with today’s current Superstars. You can have really classic matchups.

WWE.com: You hung up your boots in 2001. Was there a dream match you never had in your career that you would love to create in this game?

Luger: I guess it would be against some of today’s Superstars. I'd like to see how I’d match up against John Cena or Triple H or Randy Orton.

WWE.com: So how would The Total Package do in a brawl with powerhouses like Kane or Sheamus?

Luger: I like to think I’d hold up pretty well. The athletes are more athletic and the maneuvers are so spectacular, but I’d still have a basic ground attack. I’d have to stick with that, but sometimes simplicity is best.

WWE.com: Plus, once you get them in your patented Torture Rack, it's all over.

Luger: People tell me that back in the day they loved to pick me in games, because once I got them in the Rack the match was over. You don’t kick out of the Torture Rack, buddy.

WWE.com: We spoke with you about your health issues late last year in a "Where Are They Now?" feature. How have you been feeling since then?

Luger: Thank you for asking. I'm getting more strength and endurance back. I'm able to do more things from my spinal cord injury, which I'm very thankful about. I still continue motivational speaking with guys like The Million Dollar Man. And I have a business called Total Package Fitness out here in Atlanta. We do wellness consultation, exercise, nutrition and supplementation. That’s what I always loved doing."

Hulk Hogan Plays Def Jam Rapstar, Flashes His Junk

"Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, daughter Brooke, and Jimmy Hart are having a wonderful time paying tribute to The Notorious B.I.G in Def Jam Rapstar, until the Hulkster decides the cameraman wants to see his penis. Thank goodness for censor bars.

Not even during the height of Hulkamania was flashing Hulk Hogan's privates a winning marketing strategy. There's not a single product in existence that I would buy based-on a fleeting, censored glimpse of the Little Hulkster.

I say "in existence" because if a company wanted to market a line of disposable eye-gouging forks, I think it would work quite nicely.

As a special note to any aging wrestler who thinks this is a good idea, try not to have your daughter in the room when you present your penis."

NoDQ.com WWE Report: WWE's original idea for Undertaker/Lesnar

Credit: F4WOnline.com

According to Bryan Alvarez, WWE sources indicate this week that their original idea for an Undertaker and Brock Lesnar confrontation at UFC 121 was for it to take place backstage after the show, likely at the press conference where cameras were.

Lesnar lost, needed stitches and had decided not to appear at the press conference. Taker and McCool were backstage after the show but left when it was obvious that Brock wasn't coming out for the press conference.

The video filmed with Ariel Helwani in the crowd, which has been viewed millions of times online, turned out to be a lucky coincidence for WWE as their original plan ended up falling through.

NoDQ.com > WWE > More wrestlers comment on Undertaker/Lesnar

Right After Wrestling with Arda Ocal and Jimmy Korderas on SIRIUS Radio 98 got comments from wrestlers / producers about the Brock Lesnar / Undertaker altercation:

LANCE STORM - I was surprised. the skeptical mind of a worker was always wondering whether it was a work or legit. I'm obviously leaning towards work now. i cant see anything come out of this, but it sure made me think. I can't see Taker being that unprofessional to confront him and say anything than pleasant words if there wasn't a plan in the works. Taker is a professional and Brock had just lost a tough fight so I wouldn't see him doing something like that if there wasn't plans in the future or hopeful plans in the future.

DAVE LAGANA - It's amazing that a third party, independently produced, non agenda based video was able to create more buzz about Wrestlemania or any PPV than WWE can create in one 30 second clip. It was pretty cool. I was jazzed to see and the fact that it has a million views in just under two days shows the power of what it did in that video.

COLT CABANA - He's the Undertaker he can say what he wants to say and Brock Lesnar is Brock Lesnar and can do what he wants to do. If it was something set up to get into the wrestling ring like good for them for getting a buzz. If it's not than whatever, all Undertaker did was say a couple of words and now all of a sudden he's got this giant buzz on the internet. Whatever it is it's getting some buzz. It didn't hurt anybody physically, mentally or emotionally I don't think so good for them. What am I gonna do, hope both their careers turn out well. Their both millionaires and are doing awesome so their doing it right. Maybe I should challenge Brock Lesnar after a match also so I can have some buzz like them.

BOOKER T - It's kind of bizarre. It kind of came out of left field. If it was what I think it was, it was a well kept secret. It was interesting, Undertaker seemed like he was a little taken back. Maybe it was because of the outcome of the fight between Cain and Brock. Who is to say, I'm really not sure it was just really bizarre.

NoDQ.com > Bryan talks in detail about his firing/re-hiring

SLAM! Wrestling has a new article online featuring quotes from Daniel Bryan where he promotes WWE coming to Canada next week. In the piece, he talks in detail about being fired from WWE is June and getting brought back.

His release from WWE:

"I had never had to work on a PG show before, I got caught up in what I was doing,"

"I got to the back and they told me that we weren't allowed to do that kind of stuff. Vince (McMahon) called me himself and explained they were letting me go because they were a PG company and they couldn't have that kind of behavior. But (after I was gone), the fans, the WWE Universe. was awesome. There were Daniel Bryan chants at shows. A main event of Randy Orton and John Cena and the fans were chanting for me.

"When I got the news they had let me go, I was obviously devastated. For the next 24 hours, I thought, 'What am I going to do, I was setting up wrestling dates... I was working on that.

"Then three or four days after a whirlwind of activity, I just thought, 'What just happened?' I just sat there and ate cupcakes for a couple of weeks."

Being brought back:

"I was at the vet, ready to foster a really fat beagle," says Daniel. "And I got a call from (WWE executive) John Laurinaitis saying they'd like me to come back. It was amazing.

"I was really nervous coming back, at SummerSlam. I was going to be the seventh guy (on Team WWE against The Nexus). It was a big spot to be in. SummerSlam was the highlight of my career to that point."

Below are some highlights from an interview between “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and UK Newspaper The Sun:

Watching Wrestling: “I Watch all wrestling whenever I can, I watch WWE and I watch TNA. I’ve just always had that passion for the sport. That’s what inspired me to enter the ring in the first place, I watched wrestling avidly as a kid and back then it was guys battering each other in smoke filled arenas and blood flowed freely. And that’s why I still watch WWE and TNA all the time today, it’s entertaining and takes me back.”

His Neck: “I’m lucky, you know my neck is 100 per cent these days, I can do my own stunts and fight scenes where I can. I don’t claim to be a tough guy, but I give it a go.

Wrestling Again: “I never thought I’d say it, but when I’m asked about one more match these days I do tend to say ‘never say never’. So don’t rule it out.”

Pro Wrestling Report Primetime TV - October 1, 2010

WWE: Inside WWE News "Countdown" with Mick Foley (cont.)

Hardcore Legend. Former three-time WWE Champion and commentator. New York Times bestselling author. Mick Foley knows precisely who he is and what he’s talking about. And he has plenty to say in his latest personal memoir, Countdown to Lockdown, available in bookstores now.

“Mrs. Foley’s baby boy” pulls no punches in his latest book, grappling with topics that range from his own personal grudge match with mortality; the media’s often-skewed perceptions of both the ring profession and its warriors; and the elements that ultimately prompted him to leave World Wrestling Entertainment. WWE.com’s Joey Styles, who called Foley’s greatest in-ring exploits at ECW, spoke personally with his longtime friend and WWE Alumnus regarding these and other subjects broached in Countdown to Lockdown.


WWE.com: So, Mick, how many personal memoirs is this with Countdown to Lockdown?

MICK FOLEY: This is number four for me. I guess I had trouble sleeping knowing that I was still tied with [Winston] Churchill after number three. I just needed one more to put me in the lead. [Laughs.]

The truth is, pro wrestling is such an incredibly vast, incredibly surreal world. There’s no telling how many words could be written about the subject – especially when the subject involves WWE.

WWE.com: That’s true. And it seems like your later memoirs cover shorter, but far more detailed periods of time. Can you elaborate on that?

FOLEY: It might surprise people to know that the person who convinced me to write the third memoir – The Hardcore Diaries – was actually Vince McMahon. We were on the WWE jet, which I had been on only a few times; in this case, there was a bad storm due to hit New York, and Vince really wanted me to be at Raw in Greensboro, N.C., to referee a match between John Cena and Edge. During what I thought was just pleasant small talk, Vince said he was a fan of my writing style and suggested that I write another book. I thought nothing else of it until two weeks later, when I got a call from our publisher, who said, “I heard you’re writing a book for us.” [Laughs.]

At that point, I had to think what my subjects would be, so I started looking at some sports autobiographies that I enjoyed when I was younger. Jim Bouton covered one season in detail with Ball Four. Dick Butkus focused on a two-week period in Stop-action, and in Forty-Eight Minutes [by Bob Ryan and Terry Pluto], it was a single basketball game. I should probably add Buzz Bissinger’s Three Nights in August, which turned an otherwise forgettable three-game series in the middle of a long forgotten baseball season into this mesmerizing memoir. Anyway, I thought that if I could put that same amount of detail into the surreal world of professional wrestling, I would have the type of book that big fans especially would enjoy reading.


Of Suits and Headsets

WWE.com: You mention The Hardcore Diaries and other details relating to it in a chapter called “Repackaging Mick.”

FOLEY: That chapter – which starts on page five of Countdown to Lockdown – sets the tone regarding my decision to leave WWE. It was a difficult time for me, where I was trying my best to come back from a really bad back injury. I had been really excited about The Hardcore Diaries and its potential to do well, and about the potential to work a post-WrestleMania match with John Morrison. Unfortunately, I had the misfortune of giving the wrong wrestling promo in the wrong place at the wrong time – that would have been Washington, D.C., after the crowd had sat through SmackDown and waited a long time for the then-live ECW show to air.

At first, I just shrugged it off as one of those things that happened; you find that when you go out there and take your swing, sometimes you make solid contact, and sometimes you miss completely. However, it was my educated guess that Vince may have seen that particular promo as a sign that I had lost my ability to connect with the fans. So, in rapid succession following a short conversation, I lost my “dress code exemption” [laughs], meaning I would have to start dressing in slacks and a sports coat. I was also told that I would need to be sent home and be “repackaged.”

I remember how bizarre it felt when I mentioned this to my editor on The Hardcore Diaries, and she said, “’Don’t connect with the fans’? You’re No. 6 on the New York Times bestseller list!” Still, one of the great traits of Vince McMahon is that he firmly believes in going with his gut. I don’t think there would be a WWE if Vince was not a gut-player. In that instance, though, I think his gut decision was not the best for me or my book. [Laughs.]

WWE.com: You mention losing your dress code privileges. I remember the corduroy sports coats; I don’t remember the dress slacks and dress shoes.

FOLEY: I thought I’d meet Vince halfway and that he would appreciate the effort. The corduroy jacket became the mainstay for every single post-repackaging appearance, but if viewers look closely, they’ll see the warm-up pants and possibly a pair of sneakers. Vince never said anything. I think he realized that I was doing the best I could, and that some bodies weren’t meant to wear slacks. [Laughs.]

WWE.com: “A Whole New Career” may be the most interesting – and most brutally honest – chapter in your book, where you recall transitioning from being an in-ring competitor to a WWE commentator.

FOLEY: Vince had asked how I’d feel about announcing at the premiere party for Anamorph, a movie that his daughter-in-law Marissa had produced. To this day, I don’t really know if that was something he thought about and speculated on, or if he just decided to ask me at that very moment. Like I said, Vince tends to go with his gut feeling.

My immediate comment was, “I don’t know, Vince. I’ve heard about you on those headsets.” He laughed it off and said, “Actually, I’m getting better at that.” All I can say is, if what I heard represented “getting better,” then I truly feel for the announcers who had Vince produce them before he got better. [Laughs.]

WWE.com: You really go into detail as to how things degenerated from there, but you don’t do it in a nasty way; you’re just very honest and offer a lot of insight as to what it’s like to be at that announce table. Which leads us to the chapter called “The Magic Headsets” …

FOLEY: Yes, the headsets were magic because the moment you put them on, all the respect you thought you had earned seemed to disappear. [Laughs.] I like that chapter, and I think anyone who reads it will find themselves laughing. My wife enjoyed it because she thought I was getting my feelings out without being bitter.

WWE.com: You wrote the chapter in a fictionalized, imaginary setting and give Vince a special name.

FOLEY: Yes, Mr. McMahon may or may not be the inspiration behind “Mr. McMagical” [laughs], and I was “McFoley.” Writing the chapter in a fantasy world of dragon slayers, princes and sires was my way of dealing with the most difficult time of my WWE stay without really becoming bitter or angry about it. Readers sometimes equate honesty with anger, so if they’re looking for anger about my WWE years in Countdown to Lockdown, they’re probably going to be disappointed. If they’re looking for honesty, I think they’ll really enjoy it.

WWE.com: When you look back at those days now, would you say that the attitude that Vince relayed through the “magic headsets” had nothing to do with the people on the other end, and was reflective more on that position?

FOLEY: Yes, I have come to believe that. But I tell you, it’s tough to feel that way when you’re actually sitting at the table, wearing those magic headsets. If I had stayed in that position, I think I would feel extremely angry and bitter toward WWE. Instead, I believe I left at the right time, while I still had so many positive feelings. Looking back on those days makes me laugh now, because it was so surreal.

WWE.com: You also mention in your book, though, that when you finished with WWE and did your last call on commentary with Jim Ross, Vince complimented you.

FOLEY: That was my last pay-per-view – Triple H versus Edge at The Great American Bash 2008. I did another few weeks [on SmackDown], until Edge Speared me through a table. Vince did give me a lot of compliments and made it clear that he liked much of my announcing. During the most contentious conversation of our relationship – which is a part of Countdown to Lockdown that I think readers will find really fascinating – he said that my call on the match with J.R. at The Great American Bash was as good as any that he’d ever heard. I thanked him and said, “Vince, the problem is that I really don’t know the difference anymore.”

For me, announcing wasn’t the ideal working condition. However, if viewers were to go back and watch some of those big calls – Edge and Triple H, Edge and The Undertaker’s Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match [at One Night Stand 2008], Shawn Michaels against Batista [at Backlash 2008] – I hope those matches provide some kind of testament that I did a good job on occasion.

WWE.com: Just to get this out there – because it is so surreal – you no longer work for WWE. A professional conflict with Vince McMahon is the reason you’re no longer with WWE. And who was it that offered you the opportunity to promote Countdown to Lockdown on WWE.com?

FOLEY: From what I understand, it was Vince McMahon’s decision to mention the book on Raw, and it was his decision to offer me the opportunity to talk to WWE.com. It is literally among the craziest things I’ve ever heard of. [Laughs.] I think it’s unprecedented, and it has a lot of people talking. And I’m flattered to do this. I think it shows what kind of respect Vince has for me and, deep down, he genuinely likes me and appreciates what I did when I was with the company.

NoDQ.com TNA Anderson talks about his a-hole promos & PG WWE

The following are highlights of a recent interview with Mr. Anderson from the Busted Open radio show:

"Mr. Anderson on WWE PG rating: "I don't know how you have guys beating each other up and half-naked womenrunning around and make it a PG... To me it doesn't make sense. I understand they have investors and things like that to answer to, which kind of sucks in a way. I think when that company went public, that was the start of the sinking ship, that was the little hole in the side of the ship."

Mr. Anderson on his WWE release: "When I left and I started talking to different people who had been there a while who had left like Booker (T) and people like that, Iremember telling Booker that story. He said, 'Ah, they got you with the old being stiff routine, huh?' This has been used for years and years and years. If you don't want somebody to be there anymore, you start complaining that they're too stiff or they're prone to injuring others and stuff like that, and eventually the person gets pushed out the door."

Mr. Anderson on his "asshole" promos: "I started saying 'nice guys finish last, thank God I'm an asshole' in OVW. I actually started saying it on independents right before I got to OVW. I said it during promos at OVW, and the boys popped for it and they liked it. It's a good test, if the guys like it, the fans are usually going to like it. They are more critical, they've seen everything, and heard everything. When I got brought up on the road, I asked Vince (McMahon) in our first sitdown meeting... I asked him if I could say that. He said no, you can't say asshole.

"We started trying to figure out ways we could work it in. Johnny Ace came up and said, (impersonating John Laurinaitis) 'Hey, uh, your name could be like Adam and your last name could be hole and you could be like thank God I'm an a-hole.' Vince looked at him like, 'Are you kidding me?' I went to Johnny, I like that idea, but I think that's an idea for someone who is going to be here for a month or two. It's pretty gimmicky and I plan on being here for a long time. Vince looked at me, 'Yeah, that's the right answer.'"

Mr. Anderson on Kurt Angle: "Kurt Angle is a guy who... You know how much he's done in this business, what he's done and where he's been, how much he's done for this business. He's in a position right now where he doesn't really have to give anything back if he doesn't want to, but that guy puts 110 percent in every single day that he comes to work. All of his matches, he wants them to be the best matches on the show."
