Recently DDP posted a blog about his visit to see Lex Luger. I was so touched by it that I asked him if I could put here for my fans to read. He said it was ok so here it is. Also you can check out his myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/yrgworkout. Thank you DDP for letting The Eagle share this with everyone.

Lex Luger, Tito Ortiz…Happy Holidays!Hey Guys…I would like to wish everyone the Healthiest and Happiest of Holidays… Merry Christmakawanika… I hope I covered everyone with that DDP holiday word… If you know me you know that this time of the year that is without question my favorite time of the year for many reasons… The most important reason is just because people are just nicer to people this time of year which is always a good thing… we tend to give more … care more … do more… but it’s funny because no matter how good we all have it or how good we feel about ourselves we all tend to take things for granted … we take for granted the simplest things like going to the bathroom by ourselves… tying our own shoes and even breathing… breathing right… we do it every day and we totally take it for granted … we never think about how important it really is until we run out of air… and then… well it seems pretty damn important doesn’t it… the quickest way you can appreciate where you are no matter what our state of affairs are is to live life with Attitude of Gratitude… or something I call Living Life @ 90%… I’m speaking from personal experience because I was just reminded just how good I really have it when I went to see my buddy Lex Luger aka Larry Pfohl this week…..When I started my journey through the wacky wonderful world of professional wrestling… starting from the bottom making no money there were many guys I looked up to for many reasons… Dusty Rhodes “The American Dream”, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, and Jesse “The Body” Ventura just to name a few… I also looked up to a guy named Lex Luger… From what I observed Lex was really the Total Package but he wasn’t just a jock with the perfect body he was also highly intelligent and was the complete business man who just happened to wrestle for a living… wrestling and his body was a business to him… He went from playing Pro football making great deal of money right into Pro-wrestling and was an instant star making HUGE money his entire career… he didn’t just make money and spend it… he made money and invested it … he owned land and built business’s… he lived in a 2 million dollar home on a golf course with his beautiful family … he was a truly a star who had it all…..
And then came the fall of the Roman Empire… Lex Luger the man who had everything came crashing down… today Lex has no home … no cars… no land no money… no perfect body… today Lex is paralyzed and resides at spinal rehab center … I’m not going to get into what brought Lex crashing down because that is not my story to tell… it’s his… The reason I bring all this up at this time is because I just went to visit Lex and I have to tell he is a still a Warrior… Lex reminded me that we all must live life with an Attitude of Gratitude… not by preaching to me but by living it … Lex leads by example… he is one of the most positive people on this planet right now and he blames no one for what has happened to him… he knows much of what has happened has to do with the decisions that he has made through out his life… Lex is at peace with himself and I’m not talking about that crazy at peace… I’m talking real at peace … with himself and with God… He’s living with the mindset that everything happens for a reason and this for the moment this is his chosen path… He leads by example…I too believe that everything happens for a reason and we get to choose weather it’s going to be a good reason or a bad reason… about 6 weeks ago I was booked on wrestling show in San Francisco… the show was a poorly promoted bust and most of the boys never got paid… the only positive thing that happen as a result of me being booked at that show was that I was there when Lex needed me… I heard he was in trouble and I ran down to his room… at the time I had no idea what was happening to Lex … I thought it might have been a mild stroke like what Kevin Nash had… Lex had no idea what was happening to him and the paramedics had no idea either. But they did know they needed to get him to the hospital… NOW… so I helped my buddy helped my onto the gurney and off he went… that was the first time I had seen Lex in years… the doctors ran 100’s of test on Lex and couldn’t find anything… weeks later they still have no idea why Lex is paralyzed… the positive side is Lex is regaining movement back in his body and he hopes and prays that someday he will walk again and I believe if there is anyone out there that can do it … it is Lex… I am writing this in my email this week because I was truly moved emotionally by Lex and I get so many questions all the time about Lex on my myspace and at my website a and I wanted to give you all an update but I also wanted you to give you all a chance to send Lex a Get Well card or a Christmas card and let him know you are in your thoughts and prayers… if you would like to send Lex a card please send it to:
