Lex Luger recently appeared on The Ross Report, here are the highlights…
On His Relationship With Vince McMahon: “We actually got along very well. We used to work out together. He had me over [at] the swimming pool at his house and made us tuna fish sandwiches. I think that my unannounced return to WCW, I think in the way I handled that, without giving notice and everything, which, of course, in retrospect now, I never would have done that if we had do overs in life, right Jim? I never would have handled it that way. But the way I did that, really, I felt hurt him deeply [and] personally, as much as anything. And we had a very good relationship. He really gave me great opportunities while I was there [in WWE] and I think he was truly shocked when I walked out there at Mall of America [on WCW Monday Nitro] and didn’t even give him the courtesy of a phone call. No doubt about it.”
On Sting’s Move to WWE: “Sting has had such an iconic career, as they say, and he’s such a great personal friend to me and he always was, no matter what, even through the worst of times. What a friend.” Luger continued, “I’m so thankful for his friendship. I was very, very excited for him to go there [to WWE]. No matter if he won or lost, I thought, ‘what a great way to cap off and finish just an amazing career’. Not too many guys have had a career like him and I was and still am very excited that he made the decision to get involved [with WWE] and have some matches in WWE. It was about the only thing he hadn’t done.”
