Summary
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.

Good story.
I admire Lex in the way he has come back from adversity. I also admire the frankness in which he admits his wrongdoing.

From 'make believe' to 'reality' without faking it
I really enjoyed the honesty written by Lex about his past. Sad to hear about those who were caught up in his double-life and hope that a level of reconciliation has taken place within his family. He is now truly a role model to others!

Brutally honest, and surprisingly moving
While I would have like the book to have been a bit long and to have concentrated on his career, this is a surprisingly brutal honest tale of a flawed man.

Quick but worthwhile
Lex fly’s through his life story. Even though everything is discussed sometimes you wish he elaborated more on certain subjects.
The book gives you a good idea of lexs arrogance up until being born again. He definitely has had a life changing experience and has truly changed.

An Unexpected Turnaround …..
I’ve always had a keen interest in Wrestling (in a Sports Entertainment form anyway), specifically in the 90’s and early 00’s, where I grew up idolising role models just like Lex Luger.
This book details his rollercoaster ride of an American Football career, his rise in Wrestling, his unfortunate fall where indeed, he found his rock bottom (unintentional pun) but most importantly, his redemption. A good but difficult read that pulls you back to that childhood nostalgia, with some fascinating ‘behind the scenes’ tales.

Leaves a lot out of the story
Ok but very short. Leaves a lot of information out of the story. Seems to gloss over a lot and could do with more information to fill In the missing part.
Leave a lot unanswered. Not a lot of wrestling either. So if your looking for a wrestling story. This is not it.
