Speaking of refreshingly honest, that's the main crux of Lex Luger's story. Breaking into the pro wrestling industry under advice from others, Luger had quite the ego on him during his prime. That's something which is explored in detail in Wrestling With The Devil, Lex is remarkably candid when explaining that he was hard to get along with during his career. This is the kind of thing wrestling fans desire from books dedicated to the medium they love, honesty. Luger pulls no punches, and doesn't attempt to cover himself in glory. He's proud of his achievements, there's no doubt about that, but there's also nothing wrong with that fact. He did, after all, win multiple World Championships and feature as a top star for years in both the WWF and WCW. His spinal injury is also detailed, something which humbled the man greatly and changed his life forever. Once a hulking beast who practically lived in a gym weight room, Luger is now a frail, elderly man who is ultimately reflective over his time on the planet. This all ties together to make for a compelling read.
