Lex Luger Opens Up About Diamond Dallas Page’s Help with Spinal Cord Injury
Former professional wrestler Lex Luger recently appeared on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast to discuss a range of topics, including his spinal cord injury and the assistance he has received from fellow wrestler Diamond Dallas Page (DDP). Luger shared his gratitude for DDP’s support and revealed his desire to walk again if he were to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Luger, whose real name is Lawrence Wendell Pfohl, suffered a devastating spinal cord injury in 2007 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Since then, he has been confined to a wheelchair. However, thanks to the help of DDP, Luger has made significant progress in his recovery.
During the podcast, Luger expressed his appreciation for DDP’s unwavering support throughout his journey. He mentioned that DDP would visit him regularly and work with him on various exercises to improve his mobility. Luger recalled how DDP would cheer him on, saying, “Bro, bro, that’s good! You’re moving something! You’re moving something!” These words of encouragement motivated Luger to continue pushing himself and never give up.
Despite the challenges he faces, Luger remains determined to regain his ability to walk. He revealed that he can now stand for short periods of time, but walking has become a distant memory. However, with DDP’s assistance, Luger is hopeful that he can overcome this obstacle and eventually walk again.
Luger’s dream of walking again is fueled by his desire to attend his potential induction into the WWE Hall of Fame. The WWE Hall of Fame is an annual event where legendary wrestlers are honored for their contributions to the industry. Luger hopes that if he receives this prestigious recognition, he will be able to walk to the podium and accept the accolade.
The support and guidance provided by DDP have been instrumental in Luger’s recovery process. DDP, a former professional wrestler himself, has become renowned for his work in helping individuals with various physical ailments through his yoga program, DDP Yoga. Luger’s progress serves as a testament to the effectiveness of DDP’s methods and the power of determination.
Luger’s story is an inspiration to many, demonstrating the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Despite his spinal cord injury, he continues to strive for improvement and remains optimistic about the future. With DDP by his side, Luger has found a source of strength and motivation that has propelled him forward on his path to recovery.
As Luger continues his journey, wrestling fans around the world eagerly await the day when he will be able to walk again. His potential induction into the WWE Hall of Fame would not only be a well-deserved recognition of his contributions to the wrestling industry but also a testament to his unwavering determination and the support he has received from DDP.
