Diamond Dallas Page has provided an update on the status of a documentary focusing on Lex Luger.
Luger, who has been confined to a wheelchair since suffering a spinal stroke in 2007, was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame earlier this year. Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Page explained that while a documentary is planned, they are waiting for Luger to be in a better place physically and mentally.
“That’s the goal,” Page said. “And it’s got to be when he’s hit that spot where he feels really comfortable, his physical and mental action will tell us when that is, and we’re not there yet, if anything for that hurdle.”
Page also shared a story about a mishap that occurred right before the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. Page had built a boardwalk at his daughter’s retreat specifically to help Luger access the beach and practice walking short distances. However, an accident occurred upon Luger’s arrival in Atlanta.
“When Lex went to get out of the car in Atlanta, the Uber, the guy came around with the chair, but he didn’t hold on to it,” Page explained. “So when Lex went to sit on it, it slid, boom. He hit that concrete, and he felt so bad. He’s like, ‘D, I feel so bad I can’t walk, and I want to do this for you.’… But he did get up those last, two steps and he did stand up there. And that was, that was really special.”
