On this date in WCW history: Lex Luger replaces Vader as the last 'Hulkamaniac'

You know the story by now, everything revolved around Hulk Hogan.

Such was the case on September 11, 1995, when the Hulkster kicked the crap out of Lex Luger on Monday Nitro only to later have him join his team of "Hulkamaniacs."

Luger was a late replacement for Vader, who was shit-canned following his locker room brawl against Paul Orndorff, and joined fellow "Hulkamaniacs" Sting and "Macho Man" Randy Savage for a four-on-four feud with the "Dungeon of Doom."

The two factions would later meet in a "WarGames" match at Fall Brawl, with the Hulkamaniacs emerging victorious.

Shocking, I know.

The interview/promo they did at the PPV was amazing. One of my favorites, because

Macho Man seems so coked out. Hulk Hogan is hilarious.

"Blinding ignorance does mislead us. O! Wretched mortals, open your eyes!" Gil Hodges IS a Hall of Famer.

Luger set records in turns during his first six months back in WCW

A month later he’d turn heel at Halloween Havoc and join the Dungeon of Doom for a week or so. Oh yeah the Dungeon of Doom were one of the worst factions ever.
