Luger would tell Sting that Hulk wasn't trustworthy, and Sting wasn't sure who he could trust. It turned out that Sting and Luger were working together all along, and immediately following a Sting vs Hogan match at Fall Brawl, both Lex and Sting turned heel. Lex decided to get a name change and try something different, only problem here though was the fact that this new "Reborn" Lex Luger was pretty much the exact same as the previous Luger. Now going by the name "The Total Package" and nothing else, Luger would try to tell fans that the Lex Luger of the past had disappeared and he wasn't coming back. With Miss Elizabeth at his side, The Total Package character would try to write a new chapter in the career of Lex Luger and, in typical WCW fashion, it was all totally forgettable. This video looks at Lex Luger changing to "The Total Package" in WCW during 1999. 00:00 - Intro 02:55 - Luger's Injury and 1999 return 07:54 - Lex Luger becomes "The Total Package" 11:03 - The Total Package run in WCW 15:19 - Luger vs Sting at Starrcade '99 17:44 - The New Blood enters WCW 18:59 - Final Thoughts / Credits #WCW #Wrestling
