Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.
The Lex Express is coming through! We’re looking at the early career of Lex Luger this week. We cover WCW matches against Ric Flair, Ron Simmons & Ricky Steamboat, and end off with his Lex Express run and 1993 Summerslam match versus Yokozuna. Is it good? Not really, but our jokes are. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about:
- Wrestling moves as kids
- Surfer Sting
- Scotty Doesn’t Know
- Aaron Neville
And a lot more.
