Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted May 24, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 I don't think he was a rubbish face  I think he has a rubbish face, that's why I never really liked him, he looks like a monkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I just made the perfectly valid comparison. Forgive me if there's some sort of official muscular wrestler comparison committee I should've applied to beforehand.

Â I do think you can compare Luger to Ryback, though, in terms of push and physique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah there are some similarities though Luger could lose and still be taken seriously for most his run. (Summerslam 1993 aside, where he looked a right berk). Â Ryback has achieved absolutely fuck all in his run, he's dead at the moment. Even with a heel turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell Cooley Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I was actually thinking more of the Luger who stood toe to toe with Stan Hansen in that bull rope match, rather than his WWF run. I can't imagine Ryback being able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendell Cooley Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I think it was Wrestlewar 90 he had a belter of a match with Flair. It wasn't just Flair carrying it, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted May 24, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yeah he had two that year on PPV. The one you mentioned and another blinder in a cage at Capital Combat. I think he had a third match that went to a non-finish that was very good at a Clash as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell Cooley Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 If Luger was around today he could've been John Cena. Not really different in terms of charisma, muscles and promo ability. Luger was just cursed with better competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'd say Luger was more cursed with other guys being around who could also be the man. Especially in regards to WCW when you had Flair, Sting, Steamboat and others who sometimes eclipsed him a lot of the times. His 1991 title run was a wash-out which was a shame. He was cursed from the start on that one and then just gave up caring seemingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendell Cooley Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thinking about it for the first time to be honest, what Luger lacked was that one killer promo or line that would've made him really strike a chord with the masses. He had all the other ingredients to be a star, he was just missing that one key part on the mic, a catchphrase or a buzzword or something to make up for his lack of natural mic ability.
