Lex Luger Talks The Difference Between WWE & WCW, WWE Winning The Monday Night Wars

Forbes Magazine interviewed former WWE and WCW Star Lex Luger, who was promoting his new book, “Wrestling with the Devil: The True Story of a World Champion Professional Wrestler—His Reign, Ruin, and Redemption.” Here are just a couple of highlights from the interview:

Difference between the WCW and WWF environments: “They were both very similar. I was more comfortable with WCW only because I lived in Atlanta and the airport travels anywhere. But both companies are very similar. You’re both traveling internationally and I mean, there are a lot more similarities than differences, let me put it that way. It was nice to have the option to, obviously of going to a company; leverage and negotiation. It was nice to have one or the other to go to, at the time.

His thoughts on WWE: “The WWE ended up winning the war, the Monday-night wrestling wars, and took over both companies. So now it’s all one, great, big conglomerate, internationally, ginormous wrestling entertainment industry now. There’s really no close competitors.”
