10 Wrestling Moments You Felt Totally Guilty For Laughing At
1. Lex Luger SuperBrawls With His T-Shirt
Lex Luger didn't quite ride triumphantly into the wrestling sunset; his career literally faded to black as an ill-fitting and very stubborn t-shirt found itself tangled all over his face amid turbulent personal hell. In a way, it mirrored the sentiment of those watching the infamous YouTube clip. We couldn't bring ourselves to watch it, either.
In a different, more accurate way, it did not; this was a sensation of schadenfreude. Everything within the scene looked so incredibly low-rent. The interviewer rocked a searingly '90s, sleazy look. The blocking of the segment confirmed the rank amateur status of the league; the crumpled company banner made up only a tenth of the scene. It was all so half-a*sed...
...which made Luger's noble but failed attempt to go full-throttle all the funnier. He couldn't squeak out the word "despicable". He didn't know the name of the show he was booked on, which was fitting, since he bailed out on it. And then, in a glorious moment, he declared himself "one of the biggest legends and stars in this industry" before - for a second time - failing to do what Hulk Hogan did before him and simply remove his t-shirt.
Drawing attention to the flub, he brilliantly screamed "And your t-shirts are too tight too, Billy!" as if this was an obstacle placed in front of him by an unscrupulous heel GM.
