Lex Luger wants to have his two guys with him.
Lex Luger will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2025 during WrestleMania weekend. he recently noted that he wanted to have two people induct him, but he did not name them.
Speaking on 83 Weeks with Eric Bischoff, Lex Luger was asked to comment on who he wanted to induct him, and he said it would be amazing if Sting and Diamond Dallas Page could be there with him.
“Oh, yeah. It’s real short, two guys. I’m trying to get two guys instead of one. I speak at recovery centers and at churches and stuff. I’m not good at scripted, like an iPad outline. I like to just speak from the heart and be extemporaneous, speak when I speak. So I’m like, well, guys, can I have…has anybody had two guys? Because I’ll probably want to do just a few minutes from my heart when I get up there. DDP and I have been trying to work on the walk. We’re not there yet. So I go, we’re hoping, but man, if I could have my two guys up there with me, man, DDP on my shoulder kind of spotting me and Sting on the other, if it’s possible. I go, man, that would be amazing. So we shall see. If I have anything to say about that, that would be my pick. That would be, for me, the ultimate. That would be pretty cool, that would be amazing. For me, at least," Luger said.
Luger was also asked about attending Sting's last match at AEW Revolution 2024. He noted that he spoke with Diamond Dallas Page when he was there, and they started working together, as Page has been helping him try to regain some mobility.
"When I was at Sting’s retirement, WWE allowed DDP and I to be there. We couldn’t be on camera, but I thought it was a classy thing of WWE, and who's there but Dallas? I didn’t know Dallas was going to be there. I go, ‘What are you doing here?’ He goes? ‘I’m here for the Stinger, man. Why wouldn’t I be here?’ I go, ‘I’ve seen you work with, I saw that Butterbean video he did, that was absolutely amazing. I go, ‘I have to admit it, I’ve been pretty much in this chair now full-time. I’ve really lost all my mobility. Quality of life wise, physically, it’s not what I maybe hoped. I’m thankful for what I can do.’ He goes, ‘Brother, I’ve been waiting for you to come to me with this.’ That’s where we started our journey, to leading to really what’s happening with this Hall of Fame in 2025. Think about the circumstances, the hand of God there. I’m like wow, the way that stuff has lined up, it’s like it was all meant to be. It’s amazing, it really is," Luger said.
Luger went on to note that being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame was an honor, and it was an amazing feeling.
