Brody had a infamous cage match with Lex Luger in Florida at NWA Florida in January 1987.

Roop arranged for Luger to be trained by Hiro Matsuda, who had previously trained Hulk Hogan and " Mr. Wonderful " Paul Orndorff.

A partner-less Luger was teamed with Sting ( whose partner Ronnie Garvin had been kayfabe injured ) and the impromptu team won the entire tournament, defeating Blanchard and Anderson in the finals.

While Luger had Flair in the " Torture Rack " and Flair was about to submit, the match was abruptly stopped by the referee who cited ( kayfabe ) " Maryland State Athletic Commission " rules about a cut that had opened up on Luger's forehead " bleeding excessively ".

Flair then kicked Sting out of the Horsemen upon his challenge for the NWA Championship, resulting in a revived feud between the two which had to be delayed due to Sting injuring his knee, forcing WCW to slot Lex Luger as Flair's main challenger until Sting returned.

During that time, Sting and Lex Luger had won the WCW World Tag Team Championship and the Warriors challenged them, to no success.

Nash survived to the end after literally clearing his ring out and big booting Lex Luger, who had Scott Hall in the Torture Rack, over the top rope, and earned his shot at the title.

They also had to be converted to the standard 7. 63 × 25mm Mauser round, though a few hybrid Mausers were made with salvaged Luger barrels that were chambered for 7. 65 × 21mm Parabellum.

The show was also highlighted by the return of Lex Luger to WCW after having spent the previous two years wrestling for the WWF, where he had been one of the promotion's top stars.

Luger's appearance was particularly jarring because he had just wrestled a match for the WWF the previous evening ; the match was his final contractual obligation with the company, and Luger signed with WCW the morning of his appearance.

The title did not change hands, but the match's result made it seem like Luger had a chance against his gigantic foe.

The contract Luger had signed for the match, as orchestrated by Yokozuna's new spokesman and advisor Jim Cornette, stated that if he did not win the championship, he would not get another shot at the title .< ref name =" SummerSlam-Luger vs Yokozuna ">

He impressed his commanding officers by making a weathercock from army kitchen trays, but was also chastised when he was found with a 1914 Luger P08 pistol he had bought from a fellow soldier.

By December 1987, Luger had defected from the Horsemen and began a heated feud with the group, with Ric Flair especially.

Luger was kicked out for first blaming Horseman manager J. J. Dillon for costing him the U. S. Title, when his attempt to help him win by cheating backfired, and subsequently, not allowing Dillon to win a Bunkhouse Stampede match as the Horsemen had agreed to among themselves.

Lex Luger had joined Vince McMahon's World Bodybuilding Federation, but he signed with McMahon's WWF when the bodybuilding company failed.

Race excelled as a manager as he had as a wrestler, immediately leading Lex Luger to the WCW World Championship.

Luger had stolen the title ( he was a heel then ), but now Koloff was the heel.

They had brief feuds with Lex Luger and Sting and The Road Warriors before starting a long feud with Rick and Scott Steiner in 1996.

Luger then bashed the knee against the runway repeatedly to make it seem like Sting had suffered severe damage.

In September 1996, the nWo put one over on the fans of WCW by having Farmer dress as Sting and attack Lex Luger.

** Luger turned on Savage by attacking him and then put Hogan in the Torture Rack, joining the Dungeon of Doom.

Kits exist which will convert many pistols into carbines by the addition of a shoulder stock ; notable examples are the long barrelled Colt Buntline revolver stock, the Mauser C96 " Broomhandle " holster / stock, and various others for models such as the Browning Hi-Power, Luger, Colt M1911, and the Heckler & Koch VP70.

In 1985, Luger met Bob Roop at a celebrity golfing event in Florida and was given the chance to get into professional wrestling as Roop was greatly impressed with Luger's powerful bodybuilder physique.

Following Leacher's advice they pursue the villains, however, before the villains are apprehended, Luger must journey into his past to realize the right thing to do.

Dan Luger, another established England international, was also due to be on the trip with Nick Duncombe, but was called into the England squad to play France at Twickenham.

The storyline saw Luger campaigning for entry into the 1994 Royal Rumble, as he wanted the title shot that would be given to the winner.

Luger was eventually entered into the match, although The Great Kabuki and Genichiro Tenryu were also entered, on Mr. Fuji's behalf, to attempt to prevent Luger from winning.

Luger kicked the bag out of DiBiase's hands resulting in Tatanka attacking him and turning him into a villain at SummerSlam, joining DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation.

Throughout the show, wrestlers were being interviewed as they arrived to the building, most notably, Lex Luger who was attacked by the Four Horsemen and was busted open after being slammed head first into the trunk of his limo.

A secondary rivalry heading into the event was between Barry Windham and Lex Luger for the NWA United States Heavyweight Championship.

A revived Hebner then dropped Koloff's arm three times with no response and awarded Luger a submission victory.

His victory was overturned by Callis, leading to another match the following week which was won by Abyss after Lex Luger interfered, thus granting Abyss control of both titles.

In addition to Scott, Rick also began feuding with various members of the nWo, facing them in either singles matches or teaming with Lex Luger on occasion in tag team matches over the following months.

Magnum's first on-screen appearance following the accident was at the Crockett Cup in 1987, where, with the aid of a cane, and two referees, Magnum walked to ringside to embrace Dusty and Nikita, who would go on to defeat Tully Blanchard and Lex Luger for the tournament championship.

After losing the U. S. title to Luger, Barry Windham left the group due to an injury ( a broken hand which occurred in his match against Luger at Chi-Town Rumble and required surgery ; this enabled him to leave the promotion and show up in the WWF as " The Widowmaker ") and Kendall was not used as much more than a jobber and the group seemed like a shell of the unit it looked like on paper when it formed.

They added Michael Hayes after Barry's injury and he feuded with Luger but the group disbanded when Hayes reformed The Fabulous Freebirds in May and Matsuda left the promotion.

The worked injury set up the pretext for dropping the US Title to Lex Luger.

Sting and Lex Luger first teamed up in April 1988 after Luger found himself without a tag team partner for the 1988 Jim Crockett, Sr. Memorial Cup Tag Team Tournament in the wake of former partner Barry Windham turning on Luger and taking Luger's old spot in The Four Horsemen and Ron Garvin's injury at the hands of the Varsity Club.

Their team was seemingly defunct after Luger turned heel in June 1989, but Sting was also the cause of Luger's face turn in February 1990, as Luger replaced Sting as the # 1 contender for Ric Flair's NWA World Title while Sting was out with a knee injury.
