that's so cool, great find. I think John should fight in the WW as a guest. John vs Louie... ok Daniel slow down.

They could be brothers. Especially if Lex still had the long hair.

John wins by DQ over Louie. After throwing Louie out of the ring, John removes his trunks to reveal a second pair of trunks with the Mickey Mouse graphic on the behind. After showing the graphic to the crowd and mocking, Louie sneaks into the ring with a steel chair and pummels John over the head.

What really struck me is the size of Lex.

John is a pretty big boy. He must be 6'2 or 6'3 as I remember being close to him. Lex was a few inches taller then that.

For those of you that don't know, Lex Lugar will never wrestle again he was paralyzed from a stroke. This is from wikipedia.

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.

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.

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.
