LOL thats no surprise to anyone, he has pretty much been begging to be fired with uploading some insane utube videos.

He has been shit ever since he cameback to WWE, he should of been a star off that Edge/Lita feud.

Then he and MVP both should of been stars off that good feud they had,he got injuryed, cameback out of shape and that was it, nothing but rubbish out of him after that.

Dizzy Carter just came in her panties, The Hardy Boyz are back in TNA, believe it, feud against Gen Me, the Little Boyz lol.

I think TNA is committed to Jeff being a heel. So if Matt does come into TNA (he didn't last time) Then maybe we will get a good feud between the Hardys with Matt being the baby face and Jeff being the heel

TNA have a decent thing going on with Jeff, bringing in Matt in his current state of body and mind would be very bad.

Unless he fixes up, I wouldnt want to see him in TNA, but the dirt sheets say its a cert TNA want him this time, because they want to do a Hardy Boyz reunion, its probably the only reason Vince didnt want to firer him, he knows what TNA want to do.

What happened to Smackdown on Syfy? I got home on Friday, turned to the channel and it wasn't on. Even if they were on Eastern time, I would have caught the tail-end of the show. I checked the programming guide and there wasn't even a trace.

I hope no one votes for linda mcmahon, she has spent some insane amount of cash on her senatorial bid and her pg rating has ruined wwe.

How can we vote for her, if none of us live in Connecticut?

Money wins elections, and with or without the senate race WWE was bound to go pg again just so it could begin breediing its next generation of fans.

This is from the Wikipedia article about Lex Luger. Does anyone have any more recent information about his condition?

Legal problems
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. Cobb County police found Elizabeth with two bruised eyes, a bump on her head, and a cut lip. Luger was charged with a misdemeanor count of battery and released on $2,500 bond. Two days later on April 21, Luger was arrested for driving under the influence after rear-ending another car. According to the police report, Luger had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes, and could not locate his driver's license. Luger had a 9mm handgun in the car (which was legal in Georgia). Hulette was a passenger in the vehicle and was sent home in a taxi. Luger was also driving with a suspended license for not appearing in court on March 5, 2003 for a hearing on a previous offense of driving with expired tags and having no proof of insurance.[92]

On May 1, 2003, Hulette died in the townhouse they shared in Marietta, after mixing pills of hydrocodone, Alprazolam (Xanax), and anabolic steroids (testosterone and saizen) with vodka. Luger was arrested later that day after a search of the residence revealed a number of illicit controlled substances, including anabolic steroids, OxyContin, synthetic growth hormone, testosterone, and Alprazolam. He was charged with 14 drug possession counts, 13 of them felonies. He was released the following day on $27,500 bail. Hulette's death was eventually ruled accidental. Luger pleaded guilty to the charges on February 3, 2005. He was given a $1,000 fine, sentenced to five years probation, and required to submit to periodic drug testing.[93]

In December 2005, Luger and fellow wrestlers Marcus Bagwell and Scott Steiner were removed from a flight from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Winnipeg, Manitoba. They were detained for several hours before Bagwell and Steiner were released, while Luger was held without bail as a result of his outstanding felony charges (he had neglected to obtain permission to leave the country from his parole officer). Luger was detained in the Hennepin County jail for two weeks before being extradited to Georgia to stand trial on December 22, 2005. Luger was sentenced to nine weeks imprisonment, and was released in February 2006.[94]

[edit] Spinal stroke
On October 19, 2007, Luger suffered a nerve impingement in his neck that led to temporary paralysis. He underwent intravenous antibiotic treatment and was expected to make a full recovery.[95] Nearly a month after his spinal stroke, Luger was still in a quadriplegic state, having no movement in either his arms or legs. As of June 2008, Luger was said to be able to stand on his own for short periods of time and walk using a walker. Luger now resides in Atlanta, Georgia.[96]

he's mobile again and lost alot of weight, but recovering.

[Trey Strain Guardian of the Universe Find all posts View Profile Close Trey Strain]

The poor guy. He used to belong to a gym in Daytona Beach where I was a member, and he was no joke. I saw him lift some ungodly amounts of weight. Who would have thought he'd end up like that?

The Total Package!

He botched near every promo he cut, but I still kind of liked him, he was like my generations Batista.

Torture Rack was a good finishing move as well, a powerful submission move, getting BigShow and Nash on your back is no easy task, only seen Brock Lesnar do the stuff Lex used to, he was a power house alright.

There are very few older wrestlers that are in good physical and mental health. The business is a killer!

I think Hogan is the only one left that can walk and talk for himself. Everyone else is either wacko or crippled.

Well I guess Ric Flair is "okay" Goldberg is in good health, last I heard DDP was in excellent shape.

[Trey Strain Guardian of the Universe Find all posts View Profile Close Trey Strain]

Ric Flair is 61 and still wrestling!

Randy Savage could still wrestle if he wanted to.
