Lex Luger Candidly Disscusses Death Of Miss Elizabeth

Former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Lex Luger appeared recently on Wrestling's Glory Day Weekly podcast to talk about his career which included discussion on the Four Horsemen, Vince McMahon acquiring World Championship Wrestling, WrestleMania X and the death of Miss Elizabeth. 

On April 19, 2003, Luger was involved in a domestic dispute with Elizabeth Hulette, then his live-in girlfriend, in the garage of their townhouse in Marietta, Georgia, during which Luger allegedly struck her-he was charged with battery. Two weeks later, Hulette died in the townhouse they shared, after mixing pills of hydrocodone, and Xanax with vodka. Regarding this tragic event, Luger states, "It was a very dark, sad time in my personal life.

"I've made a lot of bad choices outside of the ring over the years that led to me giving up my family, my beautiful wife and two children. I developed a double life and there was a lot of collateral damage from that to my friends, my family and those closest to me including Miss Elizabeth. She always will be the first lady of wrestling. It was a real tragedy, I was living a lifestyle back then, a lot of drugs, alcohol, I call it the life of folly in my book. It led to a lot of tragic things. and that was the biggest tragedy you could ever think of to have a close friend like Elizabeth as a result of it. People say, 'well Lex, you didn't make her drink or shove pills down her throat,' but I was a very big influence on her life at the time and I was doing that and she wanted to do what I did. So if you talk about regrets in the past guys, we can't erase the past and we have got to take responsibility and I take a lot of responsibility for that tragic event and what happened."
