I read this at http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/article/exclusive-where-is-sid-vicious-lex-luger-at-wrestlemania-122833
"Lex Luger is reportedly in talks with WWE about being involved at this year's WrestleMania. There's been no word on what Luger's role will be exactly, but sources close to Luger expect his involvement in one form or another. Lex resides in Atlanta, Georgia - the location for this year's WrestleMania weekend - and convenience alone makes it understandable that he'd be involved in some capacity during this year's festivities. A friend of Luger's told WrestleZone that he believes Lex may be one of this year's Hall of Fame inductees."
Your thoughts?

Well he can't possibly wrestle, as he's had a serious stroke recently (unless he has another re-birth of the Total Package lol!!). But ha HOF induction is definitely possible. He sure does deserve it.

The total package should be in the HOF. Give him some shine. It's just a shame that men like Randy Savage, Jake Roberts, and Scott Hall isn't going in.

Luger is about 80 pounds lighter than his wrestling days after his stroke.

He definitely should be in the HOF! Can he even walk now days?
I was always a big fan of Luger's until recently, thanks to YouTube, when I saw him puss out of a match with the late Bruiser Brody. But then again, I would turn and run if Brody got stiff with me too!
*Since I brought it up, why won't they induct Bruiser Brody? Surely he deserves a spot as well!

Luger ftw!
Hall won't go in whilst he's battling substance abuse issues though with nash there now i could see a hall appearance IF he cleans up very quickly. roberts and Savage are HEADLINERS. No way should the be inducted as a second or third choice, that would just be stupid.

He had his time.....If he hadn't roided up over the years then he might not be in the condition he is, and Elizabeth would probably still be alive. I liked him back in the day, but Luger in todays wrestling industry is a long gone name.
Kinda like Psycho Sid....another guy that is washed up and past his time.

I don't know why anyone would want to see a guy who contributed to the death of another be honored for anything. That right there is enough for me to not even need to bother getting into the fact that he was a bit rubbish in the ring.

Do the younger generation wrestling fans even know who Lex Luger is? They'll probably more concern with Bieber at Wrestlemania!!!

Yeah, when I was a little kid and Lex was on Superstars, I think I was drunk off the guy's size and power; I thought that made him a great wrestler. Then I got into my teens, and Lex had moved onto WCW. It was then that I realized that the guy was nothing more than a side of beef shot full of muscle juice. As an actual wrestler he was shit.

I agree I thought he was like Hogan with hair.

he gave Elizabeth drugs and booze and then she died I don't really know who's fault it was though his for providing the drugs and booze or hers for taking and mixing the two.

He was Drinking and taking Drugs and Liz was doing it also.... she wasnt forced to do it, she was doing it for sometime so he didnt make her start doing it..... and she over dosed and died....... it had Nothing to do with no one but Elizabeth.... Luger did Phyiscally abuse her much before the incident, but he went in to custody for that and Liz Forgave him..... Luger didnt murder Liz, He Abused her but not murdered.....

Well people have different versions of the story. But Lex still deserves a spot in the HOF.

I was a big Luger fan in the late 80s to mid 90s, but as I have gotten older, I now know he ranks right up there with garbage wrestling. Ultimate Warrior levels. I think he will be in the HOF for his contributions in NWA/WCW as I think he should. I believe there are better candidates. "RAVISHING" RICK RUDE!

I remember as a kid seeing Lex at the old Tampa Armory right after he was trained by Hiro Matsuda. All of the females in attendance went crazy over him so I think he got over due to his look.
