Reminds me of Gene Hackman recruiting the sumo wrestler in The Replacements. "Offensive linemen have to move other big men around; what do you think sumo wrestlers do?"

These were scripted so there was no way they were going to let him do it. They had to save that for Hogan or somebody.

I wonder if he actually could have.

Okay, so maybe he can't lift Deonte Brown... but if he can coach him up, we're golden.

Alright Scotty you have redeemed yourself for today after posting that idiotic thread about Tepper Business Management thread earlier. this is a great find.

It was a long running angle to get Lex Luger over as the next Hulk Hogan.  It didn't really work.

McMahon spent a lot of time looking for his "next Hulk Hogan".

yeap

about two weeks before that yokozuna dropped that big ass leg on hogan which officially marked the end of his historic run in the old WWF (until 2002)

vince totally panicked and put lex in that role as the all american hero, even though the fans were sick of it by then and he already had a great babyface champion in bret hart.

then they made lex tour the US in a bus for the entire summer shaking hands and signing autographs to lead up to a big title shot at summerslam. he wins by DQ but he never got the belt. 

i actually remember watching them recap this on superstars days after it happened. if anybody that was there could’ve done it for real at the time i say it would’ve been kona crush (brian adams)
