Lex Luger Feared Being Fired For Breaking Character On WCW Nitro Debut

WWE legend Lex Luger appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he discussed several topics, including how he thought he was going to be fired for breaking character during WCW Nitro’s debut episode.

Luger said, “We hit it off because I went nose to nose with him on the first Monday Nitro. I thought I was going to get fired. My wife goes, ‘What do you mean?’ ‘I got nose to nose with Hogan and we went to a commercial break. I broke character and smiled at him.’ I had never been around Hogan in the ring. He goes, ‘Brother, wipe that smile off your face or I’ll knock it off.’ ‘We’re in commercial break.’ ‘I don’t care. Don’t ever break character. Wipe that smile off your face right now or I’ll knock it off.’ I tried to chase after him down the hall after, he wouldn’t talk to me. I went up to him next week, before we wrestled on TV and I said, ‘Man, I’m so sorry.’ I thought I was being unprofessional. I knew we were on commercial break, I was being a heel and smirking. ‘You were 100% right. Please accept my apology.’ After that, we were totally cool. He accepted my apology and we were always cool with each other.”
