[1995-09-25-WCW-Nitro] Interview: Randy Savage and Lex Luger

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

This is another hot segment, with Luger doing a surprisingly decent promo, getting in Savage's face over slapping him the last week and challenging him to a match. He says he'll put his promised title shot against Hogan on the line, and even says if he can't beat Savage the next week, he'll leave WCW. At the end, Savage sticks his hand out to shake on it and Luger just grabs his shoulders and walks away. Really good stuff.

Savage going "Are you serious" on Luger is awesome. Good segment.

[El-P]

Really good stuff again. Luger must have been so thrilled to get back in WCW, getting big money and being used as a superstar again. Luger vs Savage was one feud they could have easily done in WWF but WCW got it right, another sign of the times.

Luger is so much more motivated in this environment it's absurd. Way more star power between these two than in the war of words the previous week between the IYH main eventers.

This is such a great segment. 2025 bookers watch this segment. This isn’t a fucking insult humor battle rap, it is not a 15-20 minute exchange of monologues. It is a reaction what happened and pushing forward to the next match. Luger feels disrespected and he has earned respect previously by combat with his opponents. Savage is paranoid and feels he was wronged at Fall Brawl and wants to kick Luger’s. Each man has a character with specific motivations and react to those events credibly within their role in the universe. Let’s get back to making pro wrestling like this.
