| JustinCaseYouForgot | Posted on 10/20/07 at 00:36:15 Wrestling Observer Former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Lex Luger (real name Larry Pfohl) is said to be in rough shape. Pfohl is currently in San Francisco for the WrestleFanfest convention. According to a source closely associated with the Cow Palace convention this weekend in San Francisco, Larry Pfohl suffered a stroke in his hotel room this morning and currently has no feeling from the waist down. |

| 91 | Posted on 10/20/07 at 01:24:28 Yeah, I heard that too. Furthermore... Lex Luger, real name Lawrence Pfohl, age 49 is currently listed in stable condition in the emergency care unit at Stanford University Hospital in Palo Alto, CA. Luger had a major health scare in his hotel room in San Francisco this morning and reportedly has no feeling below the waist. No official word is being released, but at this point it still could be a stroke, but a heart attack is also possible. Credit: Wrestlingobserver.com |

The jail chaplain met Luger in early 2006 and sensed the former wrestler was spiritually wounded. As of July 2007, Luger lives in a spare bedroom in Baskin's apartment and is trying to figure out a path in life. |
| rebelins | Posted on 10/20/07 at 10:43:59 Well, I hope Luger recovers fully. Well, as fully as possible. Although since it went after the lower part of his body maybe his speech won't be messed up. We'll see. Strokes are a terrible thing but the recovery is better nowadays than before. Good luck to him. |
| JustinCaseYouForgot | Posted on 10/21/07 at 21:49:07 Mike Johnson is reporting that former WCW World champion Lex Lugar is still hospitalized at Stanford University Hospital in Palo Alto, California. Fortunately he did not suffer a heart attack or stroke, but was suffering from an infection that caused a nerve impingement in his central nervous system. He is currently still undergoing intravenous antibiotic treatment and is expected to make a full recovery. |
| Rick Garrard | Posted on 10/21/07 at 21:58:52 so in other words, he had a pinched nerve and they are pumping him full of steroids at the hospital. ;) |
| JustinCaseYouForgot | Posted on 10/21/07 at 22:06:29 no that says antibiotic not anabolic. |
| Zedja | Posted on 10/22/07 at 09:59:30 I've been waiting for this for a while now. Ever since Stephanie died. |
| Vertigo | Posted on 10/22/07 at 16:45:19 Who's Stephanie? You mean Elizabeth? I wonder if Luger brought a sweet tape collection with him to the pastor's apartment. I would let Luger sleep in a spare room if he brought a tape collection with him. |

| Zedja | Posted on 10/22/07 at 22:43:18 No haven't you heard of Stephanie? The alterego of Elizabeth when she wanted to be a bitch? *Bad coverup of a total brainfreeze* |
