Lex Lugor is one of the greatest stars in the WWE and recently he he spoke to the The Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling. He spoke about subject that had not been a part of the general discourse for long. When asked about his rivalry with Sting and his induction into the Hall of Fame, he said, "I wasn't sure but I was extremely happy that he did. That was probably the only thing in such a stellar, amazing career spanning almost or literally three decades that he hadn't been involved in with them and it was the cherry on top of just an amazing career. I was thrilled that he finished his career with the WWE."
He also spoke about how he went over to the WCW," Sting pressed the issue and Eric ended up embracing the idea and they both came up with the idea of bringing me on as the first big surprise on a Monday show. Why not give it a shot? Eric actually low -balled what he offered me because he really didn't want to bring me in and Sting said take the offer because your salary will go up and you will be a huge hit here again and to go for it. So really Sting was behind the scenes and arranged all that and I came out and the rest is history."
However, it seemed that he feld that the WWE Chairman might have lost interest in him, "Well, we will never know now will we because I went back to WCW. If anybody is great at recycling or reinventing a character it is Vince McMahon, so if I had re-signed with them who knows what would have happened to Lex Luger. I might have got repackaged as something totally different and maybe even become a bigger star than I ever became going back to WCW. I never lacked confidence so who knows and we will never know. I am thrilled with how it worked out going back to WCW. I feel like I had a great 15 year career and got to work main events and main event guys and there are always some periods where you are heavily involved and utilized more than others and sometimes a period or restart button can be great for a career. So who knows?"
