Lex Luger Admits Switching Between Heel And Babyface Hindered His Career

WWE legend Lex Luger recently took to an episode of his Lex Expressed podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including how he believes going from a heel to a babyface numerous times hindered his career.

Luger said, “I was either a confident babyface or an arrogant heel. I got switched back and forth a lot, which some people thought, ‘Wow, you never know where Lex is at.’ Maybe that was a hindrance in my career.”

On his preference:

“I enjoyed working both — maybe heel a little bit more. You have a little bit of autonomy. Usually we’d call things in the ring. Once Ricky Steamboat taught me how to call a match, I kind of liked doing that a little bit more.”
