It was a simpler time.

Yeah he was like a madman just screaming. I’d say he was better on the mic than Luger.
Sid was briefly a better character than Luger, but that's pretty much 96-97, and not a full year on either side. He wasn't great before he was Psycho Sid, and by the time he got back to WCW his character was stale, even with the big push.
Better look than Luger, better character at peak, still had similar limitations.
He survived solely off his look and his body.
He had no charisma, no mic skills, and was a boring worker.
Same goes for Sid. Who was an even worse in ring worker.
Luger was never a great wrestler, never a great promo, was average in the ring and average at best on the mic. What he had was a superb look, body, and he certainly walked and carried himself like he was a star.I don't think Luger was a bad wrestler. I can think of dozens of guys less over than him that got huge pushes.
While I don't think any are bad wrestlers Swagger, Seamus or Del Rio(US only) might be the best examples of what you're looking for though.
Great no, average in the ring was all he needed to be, he wouldn't stand out as a weak promo today and everything else would be even more of an advantage for him.Luger was never a great wrestler, never a great promo, was average in the ring and average at best on the mic. What he had was a superb look, body, and he certainly walked and carried himself like he was a star.
The difference between guys like Swagger, Sheamus, Del Rio (WWE pushed him but alot of it had to do with trying to build the Mexican/American market), and Luger is the fact that Luger was pushed as a top start for a legit 13 years. From about 1987-2000, Luger was always near or at the top of the card, feuding with all of the top stars. He never truly understood psychology and regardless of how much he was pushed, he never developed into a better wrestler in any aspect of pro wrestling. He was as polished in '89-90 as he was in '99-'00. Add to the fact that he was pushed as a top level talent everywhere he went as well, under different ownerships and booking committees is astounding to me.
PS, I wouldn't compare Sid to Luger. They had about the same ability but Sid was an absolute monster in terms of sheer size and look. Sid, being a giant, didn't need much really for me to buy that he could kill anyone especially in my younger years.
yes most of us view it as a television show. It could have gone multiples ways depending on the whims of the people in charge.You people are well aware that it's fake and scripted, right? I don't understand how you can argue about events/people that could have only gone one way (according to script)

Wasn't the feeling backstage when he left wwe that he was a pain in the ass and let wcw deal with him from almost everyone bar Vince? Bischoff couldn't stand him either.Luger was simply a good hand who always played along with management
Who the fuc are you? Justify Your Existence in this thread. Either educate yourself or shut your bitch ass mouth.Should say Luger was worst actor, not wrestler. Ain't no wrasslin going on there.
