Lex Luger On His Friendship With Sting, Thoughts On Current Wrestling

Lex Luger has admitted that his long-time friend Sting did not like him when they first met.

Speaking on Terri Runnels' 'Cigars, Scars and Superstars' Podcast, the master of the Lex Express said how the Stinger thought he was far too cocky when they first met. 

He said: "He had asked me a question about how I stayed so lean on the road. He was trying to break the ice a bit because he was in good shape too, He was just trying to break the ice because we didn’t know each other yet."

"I was taking my boots off and I never looked up at him, I just said, ‘Stoley’s [Vodka] & M&M’s.’ He just walked away shaking his head."

Luger went on to say how the former WCW Tag Champions became friends due to being awake when most were asleep, and having the same breakfast routine.

"He would be across the restaurant, and I would be on the other side, and finally after a couple of months, we thought it was ridiculous so we merged and had breakfast together, went to the gym together, and up until this day we are the best of friends," Luger told Runnels. 

When asked about the changes in Pro-Wrestling since his era, Luger said he did not prefer his era to now. 

"I do love the progression and how it has evolved into a complete global entity. I loved my era, but I love what they are doing today with the Women’s division and the era we have today," he said.
