Wrestling with the Devil

The True Story of a World Champion Professional Wrestler - His Reign, Ruin, and Redemption

De: Lex Luger, John D. Hollis

Narrado por: Johnny Heller

Lex Luger, wrestling mega-sensation and three-time world heavyweight champion, ruled the ring for years as "The Total Package." Whether he was making a dramatic entrance from a helicopter, defeating champ Hulk Hogan, or sculpting a near-perfect physique, Lex was on top of his game. Yet backstage, he was wrestling with addictions to sex, drugs, and alcohol - things he clung to even when his mistress died suddenly of a drug overdose and Lex went to jail. There, Lex faced the truth: he was losing the fight for his life. And still awaiting him was his most brutal opponent yet, when the wrestling champ found himself helplessly paralyzed from the neck down. In Wrestling with the Devil, Lex Luger reveals never-before-told stories from his career, his struggle with personal demons, and how, through unexpected faith, grace, and redemption, he overcame all odds to fight the only battle that really matters.

Great book for fans.

I really enjoyed this book. Wrestling and Jesus my two favorite things. great message on a great career.

He is only human

As a teenager in the 80’s I grew up up watching these guys. Never in my mind did I wonder about behind the scenes. This was a great insight into that. I am a born again Christian and relate his story to Samson. So grateful my two faves Sting and Lex turned their lives around. I remember Miss Elizabeth as being so beautiful and sweet. God bless you all.

Awesome and inspiring

loved it. Could not stop listening. Very motivating, inspiring,interesting and keeping hope. Never giving up. staying positive through god. making you realize things can always change with God's help.

A Champ of a listen!!!

One of the best books I've listened to in quite a while. When I had to stop my listening session I couldn't wait until the next chance to continue. A well told story with a message of hope and redmption. I can't recommend it more highly!!!

Was 100% not a fan!!!

Was 100% not a fan until this book. I'm not even sure why I got it. But I'm glad I did. If your considering getting it, I'd say GIVE IT A TRY.... You will not be disappointed.

Well Done all the way Through

Well Done good book all the way through hope he gets into the WWE HOF

Very Enjoyable

I haven’t been a wrestler fan since the 80’s but was searching for something to listen to at work and glad I settled on this one it was very interesting and kept my interest throughout and I will definitely be listening to it again

Wonderful Story

As a childhood fan of Lex Luger, I looked forward to hearing his story. This book did not disappoint. His transparency will help to encourage others who have struggled with addiction but more importantly, his intentionality in sharing the gospel will help lead others to Christ. To God be the glory!

From Fame and Fortune to Jail and Ruin to Redemption

What a tremendous story of how a popular and well known professional wrestler achieved it all and then lost it all by a wreckless lifestyle and very poor decisions. However, after a possible near fatal overdose, he came to know Jesus Christ, and surrendered to Him and was saved. Very inspirational! The reader does a very well job in telling the story. I highly recommend this book!

magnificent read

best book to date from a retired wrestler captivating from beginning to end well worth the money and time
