Ric Flair: ‘Lex Luger Had Heat From Day One With Jim Crockett!’

During the latest edition of his WOOOOO! Nation podcast, Ric Flair and Sting spoke about Lex Luger and his heat coming into Jim Crockett Promotions. Here are some highlights…

Flair on Luger Having Heat From Day One: “The thing that upset everybody [was] he had played pro football and he knew what an agent was, so when he came, to Crockett, he had an agent who negotiated a deal and Lex started out from day one with big money.” Flair continued, “Steve Borden, Sting, became a great performer. Lex never got to that level, but in all fairness to Lex, he didn’t have enough time to really learn because they pushed him to the top so fast. And, I mean, he hadn’t prepared himself.”

Sting’s Thoughts: “Looking back now, I think [Luger] felt threatened. It was a competitive thing and I had it toward him as well because here we are, the same age and kind of the same generation, and we’re both trying to make it. I wanted to try to get where he was.” Sting added, “we both wanted the same thing and so it was a little awkward for us in the very beginning, but ultimately, we ended up kind of hitting it off because he realized that I came out of this bodybuilding world and he didn’t really even know how to eat properly.”
