I'm sorry, but the following post is just so silly.

Now that being said, its an easy answer...easy as american pie...LEX LUGER!!!!!!! lets face it he had a physique thats it.

And charisma, and a good power game, and the ability to make people care about him. Which is really the only thing that is important in wrestling.

Lex had no skills what-so-ever, hence his move the toture rack.

If he had no skills, then why did fans gush over him? How come Lex Luger was a main-eventer and Dustin Rhodes was a midcarder?

In the case of Lex its not what you know, but who you know. And he knew Sting, who was friends with Flair, who was in the back pocket of Crockett Sr. Thats how Lex got his claim to faim in his early NWA/WCW days.

I'm sorry, but this is just absurd. Even if Luger DID get a push based upon who he knew, that doesn't mean the fans will like him. Are you really suggesting that all it takes to be a big time main-eventer, loved by crowds and hated by crowds is a push? Because Lord knows there are more than enough examples to prove that theory wrong.

Furthermore, if you're theory of how Luger got his spot was through his connections, I can't WAIT to read how you think Kerry got his.

Now as far as his WWF stint any tru wrestling historian and or purist will tell you that it was all about timing. His contract was up with Crockett Sr. and Ted Turner was moving in. At the same time it just so happens that Vince is trying out another one of his money making schemes in the short lived WBF(World Bodybuilding Federation). And who better to be the poster boy, you guessed it no skills Lex.

Now the only reason Lex got in the title picture at WWF was because he won a bet with Vince. And that bet was he couldn't slam Yokozuna. But as always he pisses of Vinve and Bret Hart, hence the double finish at RR. He blows his last chance with Vince and is now out of the WWF. Well once again timing is Lex's friend. He goes to Sting, who goes to Flair, who goes to Bischoff, who goes to Turner. Who by the way just gave Bischoff the power to go up against Vince on Mondays. Who better to bring in than former WWFer Lex 'no type of skills' Luger.

This is amazing. It reminds me of a story I heard once.

A reporter asked Magic Johnson about his opinion on Larry Bird. Johnson's reply was something to the effect of, "He's the luckiest player I've ever seen.". When Bird was later asked to comment on Johnson's opinion, Bird just shrugged and said, "You know, it's funny. The more I practice, the luckier I get."

See how you can apply it in this situation.

Now for Kerry his talen was there from the start. Anybody that knows the Von Erichs and have seen there home wrestling movies of them wrestling each other in the backyard knows this. Kerry was a pure wrestler, but the biggest problem was not his talent. Unfortunately like his brothers it was his name.

Wait...Lex Luger got over because of his connections, but Kerry wasn't? Do you know how absurd that is? His fucking father RAN the promotion he worked in. Kerry was, at best, an average in-ring worker, and certainly wasn't the best of the Von Erich clan. He had no more talent in the ring than Luger did, but because he was a Von Erich, and his dad ran the promotion, he got the call...at least he did when his family started dying off.

Thats the way it was for Kerry. And unfortunately it got worst for him in the WWF. Unlike being handed the keys to the city because of your name*cough cough Randy Orton*. He was constantly being judged and criticized for not living up to his family name in the eyes of some of the higher ups at the time.

Yes, how AWFUL that he had to go through the same process Luger did. It's funny, isn't it? That when Luger is successful, it's ONLY because of his connections and timing, but when Von Erich shows up in the WWF, absent of his father's connections and at the same time Hogan was on his way out, he can't do anything.

It seems to me that if Von Erich was truly talented, then he should have been a mega force in the WWF. But once he got away from his father's booking, suddenly he couldn't cut it.

You take the name Von Erich away from Kerry and let him do it on his talents, and you would've had a very succsessful wreslter with a long career.

Bullshit. You take away the Von Erich name from Kerry and you have Hercules Hernandez with a tan and a little more charisma.

So when you ask who was the biggest waste of time..just look at the facts. the real facts.

I have. And Von Erich, despite having things SOO much easier in the business, still failed to accomplish half of what Luger did.

Lex had it easy. No talent, but a great body and the right friends.

As opposed to Kerry who had a great body, a pretty face, and his father as the booker?

Do you even begin to realize how hypocritical you sound?
