What an incredible story. Thanks for sharing!

By the way, small detail I forgot to share: the ten-foot-cabinet was a custom-made wedding gift for Liz and Randy Savage. So yeah.
Probably some other things I forgot. But in general, it was just a nice, casual neighborly friendship that seemed like it would blossom, but something (or someone) got in the way on her end and then she passed away.

That was a fantastic story, thanks.
I have to say, I never thought much of Luger, and this story certainly doesn’t do anything to change that.
Yeah, you shouldnt. It’s pretty well documented that they werent great for each other. It’s a shame she was never able to shake him. Poor woman. Macho was never the kindest to her either after they got married. Wrestling people just cant seem to get away from each other. Being in the industry fucks you up massively (or at least it did.) Hopefully things are at least marginally better today, but it seems like you have to have pretty intense mental issues to want to be involved with this shit.
Very interesting stories dlk. Did you get the sense that her and Lex were having problems?
Yeah, it did seem like that night she was drunk that she had probably been drowning guy frustrations. We weren’t in a place to sit there and probe and there wasn’t anything that indicated some serious problem, though.
Man, reading about her right now, I’m older than she was when she died.
So in one of the craziest circles. I always said Matt Jones was the one possible candidate that could possibly beat Moscow Mitch. He decided not to run. Moscow beat Amy by 20 points. Matt said maybe if it was within 10 points he might have had regret, but 20 points he was always losing.
Afterwards he sold his website KSR (KentuckySportsRadio). Still has kept his radio show which I listen to every day. He used his profits from selling KSR to buy OVW. Ohio Valley Wrestling has in its history been a good amateur league.
Here is Batista v Lesnar
I don’t know what my end point is here. But he is trying to use his KSR connections to make OVW bigger.

pretty sure that was cornette’s OVW back when they basically were NXT for WWE–btw, those four were there at the same time. Stupid class. Shelton benjamin in that class too, who is back in WWE, normally that alone would be the headliner looking back and here he’s a footnote.
Don’t know how they could do it but Cena as a heel douchebag again he could totally pull off
also you get the weird fact that cena was tag team champ with rico in ovw once
The OVW deep dive on Cornette’s podcast is really worth a listen. It’s insane how much talent they had at the time and how well they were able to develop it.
I’ll never figure out why WWE didn’t bring Cena in as something close to his Prototype gimmick instead of as a plucky underdog.

But Jericho’s totally not a political person, guys.
Cena could do just about whatever you ask him to from a character/mic standpoint, but he seems successful enough outside of wrestling now that I can’t see him ever wanting to do this now even if it was what Vince wanted.
I’d like to think he would want to do it because he never got to be a heel in wwe and that’s a void in a wrestling career. Whether he wants to wrestle again is another issue though since he obviously doesn’t need to do that again.
Remember when this guy’s main selling point was calling women bitches and telling everyone he met to suck his dick?
Model american male right there

His most regarded match is the match where he just happened to have to slide into the heel role. But yeah shame he didn’t have a real heel run. I didn’t know if they were ever turn Roman heel, but this has been Roman’s best run.
Exploding. Barbed wire. Death match.
I like to imagine Bullet reading this if he was still alive, and giving Road Dogg a whupping for his son being such a dumbass in public.
That’s a shame. She’s been fantastic lately.
Weeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllll
