About this ebook

Lex Luger, wrestling megasensation and three-time world heavyweight champion, ruled the ring for years as “The Total Package.” Whether he was making a dramatic entrance from a helicopter, defeating champ Hulk Hogan, or sculpting a near-perfect physique, Lex was on top of his game. Yet backstage, he was wrestling with addictions to sex, drugs, and alcohol—things he clung to even when his mistress died suddenly of a drug overdose and Lex went to jail. There, Lex faced the truth: he was losing the fight for his life. And still awaiting him was his most brutal opponent yet, when the wrestling champ found himself helplessly paralyzed from the neck down. In Wrestling with the Devil, Lex Luger reveals never-before-told stories from his career, his struggle with personal demons, and how, through unexpected faith, grace, and redemption, he overcame all odds to fight the only battle that really matters.

Ratings and reviews

I hope Christ continues to work on him. he still comes across dishonest but who am I to judge? I used to view him as a literal murder and couldn't be convinced otherwise. my opinion has changed but I still believe he was a part of her demise. book is worth reading.

As a wrestling fan of the 90s I learned information about Luger's career that I did not know. His personal journey was fascinating and his friendship with Pastor Steve was wonderful. As a die hard wrestling fan I would have liked to read more about his career and various feuds. Was also cool reading about his football career with time at the University of Penn State and University of Miami.

What an amazing book this is on one of my childhood favorites ! This is a must read for any wrestling fan . I didn't have a clue about all the struggles he went through .
