I see Lex Luger is continuing on his never-ending redemption tour. He's a nice, approachable guy now, always ready to meet the fans and talk about his prime. Nice big smile. Yeah yeah yeah, people can change, turn the page, turn over a new leaf, find Gawd. Hard to tell if any conversion is real, but he's been at it for awhile so I guess we should take him at his word. And he's in very tough physical shape so we should have some sympathy for him. But let's not forget this is a guy who never liked pro wrestling, didn't like other pro wrestlers, didn't like the fans and was a condescending asshole. One time when I was hosting WCW Worldwide a ring announcer had gotten fired and Jim Herd asked if I would go on the road for a bit; I readily agreed and ended up having a lot of fun. The fans in the small towns popped when I walked out to the ring because they had been watching me on TV and had no idea I was going to be there; it was quite an ego boost. So, I began to announce the talent as they entered the ring like they do at TV tapings -- but I didn't know that at live events you waited until they were in the ring and then introduced them. In comes Luger with a sour look on his face. He brushes past me in the ring and tells me I'm doing it the wrong way, what a stupid fuck I am and how the fuck did I get the job. You're supposed to wait until we get into the ring to announce us you idiot. (He did it quickly and no one outside the ring could hear him.) That's just one example of the complete asshole he was to many of the behind-the-scenes people in WCW and to no-power announcers like me. And as we know he was a steroid abuser and cheater, and an absent father. (I also heard that for about ten years all he ate was grilled chicken and rice.) So, let's applaud this guy for making a change, but let's not forget that he was one big fucking bag of dicks for the longest time.

This is my kind of bitterness. I've got a revenge list dating to at least 5th grade.
I'm an asshole though. I was feuding with a girl in Kindergarten so when she was that's day's "Special Helper", instead of clapping as we were to do, I boo'd her like she was King Kong Bundy (same size). I had to go up to her and apologize.
24 years out of High School, she's finally skinny and posts glamour shots on FB.
