[News Update] Lex Luger Medical Condition Update

Lex Luger is currently staying at the Spinal Rehabilitation Center in Marietta, Georgia. He is still paralyzed in both arms and both legs, but has begun to get feeling back in all four extremities. The official diagnosis was that he suffered a spinal stroke. He collapsed in a hotel room on Friday, October 19, when he was in San Francisco for a wrestling convention. Luger spent several weeks at Stamford Hospital before he was flown back to Georgia.

LCW Founder Christian Calaway said of Luger's condition and his continued role as a featured legend in Legends Championship Wrestling, "We're currently featuring Superstar Billy Graham and The Dynamite Kid, both men who aren't active in-ring competitors, in storylines so there's no reason why we wouldn't feature Luger either. We're planning on bringing his character back into the storylines when the time is right. However, as for the the man Larry Pfohl, we wish to extend our best wishes and our prayers."
