LEX LUGER - FAQ
Was Lex Luger supposed to win the WWF Title at WrestleMania 10?
Yes. It is generally considered that Bret Hart's WWF title win as actually a
swerve and not meant to be until the actual day or week of Wrestlemania.
At a WWF television taping before Wrestlemania X, Lex Luger stole the WWF
title from Yokozuna and went to the ring to celebrate for the audience.
Since this was to air after Wrestlemania it was thought that it would be
used after Wrestlemania and that Lex Luger would win the title.
Apparently Bret Hart was going to originally walk out of Wrestlemania X
though and the whole Lex Luger tv taping was a swerve from the start.
However, Lex Luger was also going to win the title at the event. The
original plan was that Lex Luger would pin Yokozuna in the first title match
and then Bret Hart would pin Lex Luger in the second and final match.
However....Lex Luger got drunk the night before Wrestlemania in a New York
bar. The next morning an article in a New York City paper was published by a
reporter that was apparently in the bar with Lex Luger. The article said the
whole plan of Luger beating Yokozuna and then Hart beating Luger so WWF
officals decided they needed a new plan and punished Luger by not giving him
the title.
In 1993, Yokozuna did some event on the 4th of Luly on who can slam him. He challenged all Athletes, whether they be WWF superstars or American Athletes. Only Lex Luger could slam him. In reality, was he really the only one who could? Because I saw some of the American Athletes and WWF superstars almost do it.
The event was on the USS Intrepid, which was docked at New York City. It was pretty much a whole setup to help put Lex Luger over and turn him into a babyface. Shortly after was when the whole Lex Express thing started. As far as Luger slamming Yokozuna, he couldn't do it without Yokozuna's help that's for sure. If you have it on tape or have other events where Luger slammed Yoko, look at it carefully, and you'll see what I mean.
