The Man, the Myth, the Legend Vol. 2: Lex Luger

#5 Riding with the Horsemen

Ric Flair remembers those performers who he believes work well and sell tickets, and when Luger showed up at Jim Crockett productions Flair insisted the young man be associated with the Four Horsemen stable.

At first Luger was just sort of a tag along, but after Ole Anderson was kicked out of the group Luger became an official member. Portrayed as a former football star (even though his career was mostly mediocre at best) Luger was a 'blue chipper' athlete and featured star of the stable.
