The Fall and Redemption of Lex Luger

Credit :

 Former pro wrestler Larry Pfohl, better known by his ring name "Lex Luger," rose to fame as a world champion, but fell hard into addiction, prison, and paralysis before discovering new life in his weakest moment.

"I used to be known as one of the strongest guys on the planet," he told The Christian Post in a Wednesday interview. "I thought surrendering was a weakness, instead it's the strongest thing a man or a woman can ever do, to acknowledge our Creator who's in control of all things."

His upcoming book, Wrestling with the Devil: The True Story of a World Champion Professional Wrestler – His Reign, Ruin, and Redemption, chronicles his story.
