A1 Cup R3: Gene Kiniski vs. Lex Luger
« on: August 10, 2016, 02:39:18 PM »




Qualifying Credentials:AWA World Champion (1961), NWA World Champion (1966)

Proudly proclaimed himself "Canada's Finest Athlete". One of the few to have held both the AWA and NWA titles. Dethroned Verne Gagne for the AWA World Title. Considered a true top "heel" champion when he ended the beloved Lou Thesz's final reign, and went on to hold the NWA Title for 3+ years. So yes, he's beaten both Verne Gagne and Lou Thesz.



Qualifying Credentials:x WCW World Champion, 4x NWA US Champion, WCW US Champion

Holds the record for the longest US Title reign at 17+ months. Wrestled main events as both face an heel, sometimes changing each year. Memorable feuds include Sting, Ric Flair, Stan Hansen, Hulk Hogan, and Randy Savage.
