He was a two-time WCW World champion and a five-time NWA/WCW United States Heavyweight champion. He is best known for his feuds with Sting, Hulk Hogan, and Ric Flair as well as being a member of the famed Four Horsemen. Luger was selected as the Pro Wrestling Illustrated Rookie of the Year in 1986 in a class that included Sting and Bam Bam Bigelow. He was also a standout in football, playing for the Miami Hurricanes before a career in the CFL, NFL, and USFL.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nOn October 19, 2007, Luger suffered a stroke, which led to temporary paralysis. He was in a quadriplegic state for a month after the surgery, but is able stand for short periods of time with his walker. Today, Luger presents a message of hope to thousands across the country.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n“The Frank Gotch Award was established to recognize wrestlers who have brought recognition to wrestling beyond the mat,” said Bill Murdock, 2007 winner of the Lou Thesz World Heavyweight Championship Award and a member of the Hall of Fame selection committee. “Lex Luger personifies this award.

He won the American title in 1905 from Tom Jenkins, and then took the world title in 1908 from George Hackenschmidt. The 1911 rematch with Hackenschmidt (known as the Russian Lion) drew a crowd of over 30,000 people to Comiskey Park in Chicago. Gotch triumphed again, winning in two consecutive falls.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nGotch defeated all comers for five years, and then retired undefeated in 1913.

Here are highlights:\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nOn never being one to back down from a fight, even with Vince McMahon: “[Hulk] Hogan once said to me, ‘Hey brother, you’re going to have to play the game. If Vince calls you in the middle of the night to get on a plane, you’re going to have to do it.’ I said to him, ‘You obviously don’t know me.’”\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nOn Sting getting him into the business: “Sting was the guy who changed my mind. He and Lex Luger used to own a gym called Main Event Fitness in Atlanta. When I was with the Falcons, I used to work out there. I would have never imagined in a trillion years that I would have followed this path, but what made the decision realistic for me was the way Sting carried himself. When I met Sting, and observed him leading his family, business, and social life, it was completely different than what I’d ever seen in the past. I thought, ‘You know what? I can do this.’ So I bought thousands of dollars of old tapes trying to perfect moves that nobody had ever done before. I saw something that I liked, then I’d change it and make it my own.”\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nOn WWE trying to dismiss his impact on wrestling: “That’s the way I feel. I’m surely not going to be somebody who pounds his chest and professes I was somebody who couldn’t be replaced, but I think I made a difference. For that character, nobody could do it better. So to not get the credit for the impact that I helped make is frustrating.”\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nOn a recent talk with Triple H: “I had a conversation with Paul [Levesque] recently and I said, ‘Listen, I’m willing to put everything aside. If you guys want to sit down and make some money and have some fun, then let’s do it. My son wants to see me wrestle, and I’m willing to put all the bad feelings aside. If you guys want to move forward and do this thing the right way, then let’s talk.’ And that’s the way it ended. There’s nothing there. Truthfully, I don’t even think they want me to come, period. I’m just not one of them. The fact that I’m not far outweighs the financial gain, which they truly may not even believe is there. And I’m good with that.

He made national headlines in 1993 by boarding the USS Intrepid, via helicopter, and picked up the near-700 pound WWF Champion, Yokozuna. Two years later, Lex rocked the wrestling world again, jumping a metaphorical ship this time, appearing on the first ever episode of WCW Nitro to confront Hulk Hogan, not 24 hours after working a live event for the WWF. \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nBut along with the great moments and large paychecks, living the dream came with its fair share of pitfalls and demons not uncommon among pro wrestlers in the '90s. In his new tell-all book, Wrestling with the Devil, Lex reveals the dangers of his \"secret life\", filled with extramarital relationships, steroids and nagging injuries that led to his morning, afternoon and nighttime habbit of pills and alcohol. Billed as wrestling's \"Total Package\", the ultimate narcissist drove down a road that saw him land in prison on more than one occasion. It saw the end of his marriage, estranged relationships with his family, and the tragic death of Miss Elizabeth Hulette, the first lady of professional wrestling. \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nI talked with Lex Luger recently, about his rise to the top of the wrestling industry, and his fall into absolute darkness. After cleaning himself up, and planting the seeds for a spiritual relationship that would come to define him, a man always considered a top physical athlete in just about every sport imaginable, suffered a spinal stroke that left him briefly paralyzes.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\"They told me I was never gonna have any movement from the neck down. I was going to need 24 hour care for the rest of my life.\" \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nThe interesting thing about this former bodybuilder and WCW World Champion is that he could have given up; admitted defeat and spent the rest of what was left of his life sitting in a chair, bitter at the industry and his own decisions that put him there. However, Luger found great blessing in his injuries. \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\"I could give you a whole list of the things I've benefited from, from having an injury like that where I was physically challenged. I was always an athlete; I never had that before. It's just been a great learning experience for me ... It didn't seem so at the moment, but overall it's been a very positive journey.\" \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nLex has regained almost full mobility since the incident, but still has definite limitations. \"I'm not gonna be doing any triathlons,\" he said jokingly. \"I try not to look at it that way. I used to be the guy everyone asked to help them move - I was always the furniture guy, because I was so strong ... There's some perks to paralysis as well!\" \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nHe is definitely in great spirits, and that is due largely to his faith in God, and a strong foundation of good friends that have helped him on his road to recovery. Lex currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia in the same area as fellow professional wrestler Diamond Dallas Page, who has been helped thousands of people get into shape and work through debilitating conditions with his exercise/rehabilitation program, DDP Yoga. \"I love it, man. I do it first thing in the morning every day when I wake up,\" said Luger. \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nDallas Page opens his home - dubbed the \"accountability crib\" - to friends and former wrestlers struggling from some of the same demons that Lex had; drugs, alcohol, chronic pain, etc. His biggest success stories are former wrestling superstars Jake \"The Snake\" Roberts and Scott Hall, who Luger has great relationships with.\u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\"Dallas was an incredible inspiration and friend to me after my injury ... They live right down the street from me now. Scott and Cody drop by the house all the time. They come by and hang out. Cody has given Scott a real purpose and direction in his life. Scott is doing fabulous, and I'm so excited for them.\" \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nIt's easy to see how somebody who suffered so much loss, and went through so much physical and emotional pain because of the professional wrestling industry could be disillusioned to it after all these years. However, Luger says that he's still involved, and that he loves it. \"I love to watch when I get the chance ... I don't know all the storylines, but I do love watching it. I love going to the WrestleManias, and the Hall of Fame when I can ... How could I not? The fans are always fantastic. I had a 15 year dream career - I love wrestling. I'm so grateful for wrestling, and the wrestling fans.\" \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\nLex Luger is doing well, and says he can function just fine on his own now, driving around and living life with a new purpose. He is heavily involved in church programs, works occasionally with the WWE on their wellness policy - he said there are possibilities of a Legends deal being worked up, but for personal reasons needed to keep that under wraps. \u003cbr /\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\"Our true strength comes from within.
