Not Really, I can see Orton, Cena, and a few others getting higher then Luger, Since Luger wasn't that talented in the bit, sure you may say, this match was a Classic, but even horrible wrestlers have atleast one great match, and I kinda seen Sting, and Flair carrying Luger most of the time. This isn't just based on Overness (Which Favor Legends), as well as this isn't just based on Wrestling Ability (Which Favors Most Of The New Age Guys) but all characteristics of Wrestling.

And I'm getting very tired of people complaining about the ratings, if you don't like it, Don't Vote on them, This list was fun when it first began but now it's becaming a pain, since every day more people begin to complain about this and that. Does it Really Matter that someone who has Talent but doesn't get to use it (The Hurricane) get's a Higher Score then a Legend, who had little wrestling ability and was pushed regardless? No! Does It Matter, That Someone Ultra-Talented and may be one of the Top 5 Wrestlers in The World today, is ranked higher then A Guy who was a Top 5 Wrestler 10 years ago? Not Really, There are some rankings I don't like, but I've learned to get over them. And You should do the same. :foc:

Flair vs.Luger at the Clash of the Champions in 91 was amazing and is a instant classic. Ring Ability: 8.5 because he knew how to tell a story,he knew how to get the crowd involve which is the most important factor,he was simply amazing in his early days(pre-roids). Overness: 9,this guy can show up in WWE today and draw more crowd reaction than most of the roster. He was huge in the 90's. Work Rate: 7.5 because once he start using steroids he got lazy Mic Skills: 8,he got the job done without having to use catchphrases Politics:9,because he always kept himself from mid card hell Overall- 8.4

Oh God! Where do I start with this dude?

For the record, I watched WCW/NWA years before I watched WWE. Luger was better than 95% of the current WWE roster? DID YOU WATCH WCW BEFORE LUGER JOINED THE WWF!!! Oh God! And the award for "Most Stupid Comment on a Internet Wrestling Board" goes to.... this dude. I'd struggle hard to think of 5 workers in the WWE now that Luger was better than at his peak.

Flair vs. Luger was good but trust me, that had something to do with his opponent. The fact he hasn't had a good match since should tell you that. Flair was having great match after great match with EVERYONE at that time. Road Warrior Hawk, Dusty Rhodes, Sting, Ricky Morton, Rickey Steamboat, Brian Pillman, Ronnie Garvin, etc.

Now I'm breaking down your "breakdown"

Ring ability - I don't know what comment was worse. On one hand you think Luger was able to tell a story and on the other hand, you think he had a period he didn't do roids. HE HAS ALWAYS DONE STEROIDS!!! You think that body was ever natural? And if you think he is a 8.5, Jesus! What would you give Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and Chris Benoit? Does this go up to 840? It better had because they are 100 times better than this douchebag.

Overness - When did Luger ever draw a buyrate in WCW or WWF? When did he ever sell out a show? He did well for his ability early in his career but it's been all downhill since 1991. The guy was scheduled to main event WrestleMania 10 with a years build up and they changed it practically at the last minute because he can't draw flies with two handfulls of shit. If he should up in WWE tomorrow, nobody would know, nor care who he is.

Work rate - Get glasses and read a book pal. Pre steroids? Did you know Luger when he was 13?

Mic skills - I don't recall one good promo ever from this dude. The best of the bunch where when he was in the WBF and Vince McMahon was writing them and they were pre-recorded.

Politics - The guy was a master politician. How you can even give credit for something like this anyway is unbelievable. You should be giving credit to those who don't manipulate people, not those who do. Aside from Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, I don't know of one wrestler who did less to earn his money than this guy did.

Get the hell out of here dude. I'm done with this guy.

Luger had tons of great matches in the 80's and early 90's bitch.

You fail to respond to me when I said he got a crowd reaction during his matches. I must be right and that's all that really matter.

Overness- He was over huge,when he was a heel and face. Remember when he beat Hogan for the title in 97, the place explode.DUMBASS

Mic SKills- He never mess up or gave a boring promo. Ummm like Benoit.

How can you guys hate on a wrestler for trying to put themselves over? You said he was a master politician,which means he deserve credit. All the greats use politics. Bret,HBK,Flair,Hogan,ROck,Austin,etc. That why guys like Jericho and Benoit is stuck in mid card for most their careers because they suck when it comes to politics.

You guys are a bunch of bitches. Put this poll on a real website with smart and real fans such as 411mania.com.

Mega could you please give an example of one of his great matches that didn't involve someone who carried him like Flair or Sting who could carry a couch to a 3 star match.

Secondly if he was over as huge as you say then why did the WWE not give him the title and why did they decide that he couldn't draw so they didn't give him the title and instead they gave it to Bret.

Thirdly I didn't know that he was ever a WCW champ but if he did then I expect that the crowd reaction was due to his opponent. May I remind you that WCW fans hated Hogan with a passion. They would have gone nuts for anyone that would have beaten him.

Last but not least how can you praise people that stab others in the back to get ahead and hold them down. Bret, Rock or Austin didn't use politics at nearly the same rate as guys like Luger or Hogan. Jericho and Benoit suck at politics. My ass. Even without using politics these guys willl be remembered as guys the WWE had faith in to maek champions which can't be said for Luger and they will be remembered for being great wrestlers. What will Lex be remembered for?

[Loose Cannon]

Terrible.

First of all, Luger got a "MEGA POP" with his win over Hogan because of the dam situation. THE nWo were killing WCW and Hogan seemed unstoppable. He had the Title for a while and everybody wanted to see him lose. So you just take anybody out of that WCW lockeroom, have him beat Hogan for the Title, and I guarantee that place would have reacted just the same. Pul El Dandy in there instaed of Luger and people would of popped like that. It's the Heat of the Moment.

Glad to see people thinking it's okay for guys to use politics. Guys should be looked down upon for doing that, not praised. Shows how much class you have.

He never messes up a promo? Do you think that's what mic skills are about. It's real easy to have someone write "I'm going to beat Hogan with everything I got" for you and not mess it up in front of the camera. Mic Skills are about grasping the audience in the palm of your hands and delievering your message in a way in which the audience can understand where your character is coming from.

I'm glad I don't belong to that other board.

[Funky Fly]

ROFL Shawn Mega you have been severely owned.I almost feel ike closing the topic early out of pity for you. Anyway, yeah, putting in the second hard drive was cake so I'm back.
