Ex-WCW Star Has Hip Replaced, Lex Luger’s Book

– Friday’s episode of WWE Vintage Collection featured just one match: the 2000 Royal Rumble match.

– Former WCW wrestler Dave Taylor underwent hip replacement surgery last week, his former tag team partner, William Regal, has revealed.

“Just spoke to my old moaning tag partner Dave Taylor. He had a hip replacement 3 days ago and he’s up and walking about with no aid. He’s a machine,” Regal wrote Saturday.

– Tyndale Momentum has pushed back the release date of Lex Luger’s autobiography, Wrestling with the Devil: The True Story of a World Champion Professional Wrestler – His Reign, Ruin, and Redemption, from April 2 to August 13.

The official book description reads, “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.”
