I totally did not know that. However, there are amazing breakthroughs happening in just this field. We are learning to use wires to carry nerve signals, and adult stem-cell research (not embryonic) has shown amazing promise. I do not think it out of the realm of possibility that medical science may soon make it possible for someone in Lex's condition to re-enter the ring, though whether it will happen in time for Lex is hard to say.shawnpfan2010 wrote: For those of you that don't know, Lex Lugar will never wrestle again he was paralyzed from a stroke.

Spinal stroke
On October 19, 2007, Luger suffered a nerve impingement in his neck that led to temporary paralysis. He underwent intravenous antibiotic treatment and was expected to make a full recovery. Nearly a month after his spinal stroke, Luger was still in a quadriplegic state, having no movement in either his arms or legs. As of June 2008, Luger was said to be able to stand on his own for short periods of time and walk using a walker. As of 2010, Luger has stated in an interview that he is able to walk more comfortably, and is able to drive around after being paralyzed from the neck down before.
But again, he dosn't have to wrestle, they could bring up another story line, such as in Hulk Hogans case with being at the helm instead of in the ring. But their again it all depends on where he is in his life and if he wants to do something like that again, even if the medical breakthrough is there.knotodiswrld wrote:I totally did not know that.
