Lex Luger was notably inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame last yr by Diamond Dallas Page, iconically standing up at the rostrum due to DDP Yoga, after years of being trapped in his wheelchair.
“He’s considered one of the nicest human beings on the planet,” DDP said about Luger, before expressing that inducting him into the WWE Hall of Fame meant loads to him, but DDP felt he was the mistaken selection.
“It should’ve been Sting,” DDP exclaimed. “It should’ve been Sting, because that is the true brotherhood.”
Unfortunately, Luger suffered a fall the week of WrestleMania, which, considering his condition, was very concerning, especially after the veteran had practiced walking the day gone by.
“In Atlanta, the Uber, the guy around with the chair but didn’t hold onto it, so when Lex went to take a seat on it, it slid, boom,” he recalled. “He hit that concrete, and he felt so bad! He’s like: ‘D, I feel so bad, I can not walk, and you realize I need to do that for you!’ Like, f**k me! ‘That is about you!'”
DDP then revealed that they caught the moment on film as they were filming a documentary within the sort of “The Resurrection of Jake The Snake,” but that they are still far off from where they need Luger to be to conclude the documentary. “His physical and mental motion will tell us when that happens, and we’re not there yet,” he explained. “He did rise up that last, you realize, two steps, and he did get up there [at the Hof], and that was…Really special.”
