Loss Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 We see footage from the Call to Action campaign where Luger is speaking in front of a bunch of kids. The campaign is in full swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Apparently it was uncool in 93 to be patriotic. Luger wants to change that by driving around in an uncool bus. They are putting big effort in by having a whole press conference and stuff. Got to get me one of those shirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 More phoniness and desperation from Vince and the WWF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I thought this was again fine and feels very 90's seeing Luger across America for his call to action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I don't think the desperation was in the angle; it was in the man chosen to be its face. Luger's never given a damn about anyone but himself for very long, so to see him as the number one patriot and best hope for America feels wrong. That said, who else was there to both fill the superpatriot role and go after Yoko? Hogan was on his way out, Duggan wasn't a serious contender for anything anymore, and Bret was too busy with Lawler even if you scrap the American hero bit. Savage is just about the only other choice, and he's not the superpatriot type either. To be honest, this looks like something designed for Hogan before he quit, and I'm not sure he wouldn't have pulled it off better, bus and all. Actually, there is one other choice I just thought of: Lawler. I don't know if he could have slammed Yoko believably, and he's not really big enough to be a superman, but instead of attacking Bret over the crown, have him take Hogan's part after the "injury" caused by the exploding camera. Lawler's best character is the Memphis everyman turned king, so instead of making him a dime-store joke book comedian, let him fight for the WWF's honor against Yoko, both in the WWF and the USWA. They could even have done a quickie Memphis belt switch to keep the MSC hot if they wanted. He wouldn't have been champ for long, of course, but it would have been a better story than this turned out to be in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
