April 9, 201312 yr Author comment_5541511 Another good interview, but they don't really seem to be doing anything with Luger as a champion aside from having him stand there and cut these very similar promos.
May 12, 201312 yr comment_5544547 They're pushing the "Attitude Adjustment" down our throats as Luger's new finish. Luger with words towards Ron Simmons--I think this is premature to put Simmons in this spot but at least they're attempting to build a challenger.
May 20, 201312 yr comment_5545078 Race seemed to age a lot since his WWF days. Luger now focusing on Simmons. Didn't think he was involved in title picture until middle 1992.
November 8, 201311 yr comment_5571528 We get the Attitude Adjustment tag line here and Luger is putting over Simmons as a possible contender.
June 30, 201510 yr comment_5682220 I think they could have run Luger/Windham as a top feud for longer than they're appearing to here. Simmons has had very little in terms if a singles career, so it's puzzling why he's being elevated. We can't even use Bill Watts as an excuse; he wouldn't be coming to WCW for at least six months. There's still no hard and fast evidence of Luger being a heel, incredibly enough. You could say that he's going after an obvious fan favorite like Simmons, but he could do that as a tweener, too. They need him to do something outrageous and dastardly to make the turn complete, or else leave him as is and send him after everyone, faces and heels alike. On another note, I can't quite understand their decision to push the piledriver as Luger's new finisher to the exclusion of the Torture Rack. If it had been Harley's killer finisher back in the day, this would have been understandable, but it wasn't. He used it, to be sure, but it wasn't a go-to move or anything like that. The only reason I can think of is that the Rack was so over as a hold that Dusty didn't want the fans popping for it and accidentally heeling whoever Luger was in the ring with. That's not the best reason in the world, but I can see Dusty being concerned that it could happen.
December 23, 20177 yr comment_5825094 Why is Sting not being looked at as a credible challenger? beyond Windham, who else do they actually have that could fill that role? Also, it would cement Lex as a heel because he's going after STING of all people.
