The Thrill Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Just came across video from TruTV's "Hardcore Pawn" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woui4O25Z18&feature=youtube_gdata_player) of former WWF/WCW superstar Lex Luger pawning some of his old ring robes.In the clip, he's wearing a jersey that I can't place...My wrestling peeps wanna know: can you ID this gear for me?Clues: not NFL, no league on the collar (he's wearing a T-shirt beneath w/ a cross on the neck), and there's a wordmark above the chest numbers and some insignia on the orange portion of the sleeves...all blurred out by TruTV.Thanks for the help, folks! Now on Facebook. And Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It's based on the Falcons' white jersey, but the colors and number font aren't right for them. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

guest23 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 What happened to him? (not trying to be mean... I seriously want to know)man he looks rough but then again most of those old pros do if they even live to that age...roids, booze, and hard drugs will do that to you...if you're bored spend a few minutes perusing the googles for old wrasslers like razor ramon (scott hall?)...it's quite shocking and depressing at the same time.

eriqjaffe Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 What happened to him? (not trying to be mean... I seriously want to know)He suffered a nerve impingement in his neck that led to temporary paralysis - he basically had no movement of his arms or legs for about a year, so it's probably just muscle atrophy.

kwmoore Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You know how chickenhawks wear "Air Assault 101" jerseys in Steelers colors? It's like that but for bible thumpers.Chickenhawks? Sounds like a groundpounder who no-go'ed himself out of airborne/air assault school on the first day.That would be 101st Airborne. There's an entire line of military football and baseball jerseys. The Army football jerseys are the biggest part of the line. They didn't just randomly pick the units either and the jersey colors match those on the unit patches. My first unit, 11th ACR, looks a bit like the Falcons white jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fool Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Does this answer you question? Looks like it's a jersey that might have been sold at WCW Souled Out 2000 or something. Just a guess, as I think that's the 2000 WCW logo on the collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwmoore Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Nope. That's a religious jersey. WCW didn't sell a jersey that quality for PPV's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked closely with G-7 at Accessions Command/Knox before that got shut down and given to the suits at the Marketing and Research Group in Alexandria. Don't take anything derogatory by the term, though a lot of people around the Radcliffe, KY area would consider jerseys like these "high fashion", in my experience.

I worked at the airfield in Germany that was the home for USAEUR Air Assault school(Fulda, Germany) for a while. Wanted to go but everyone else did too. You literally had to be SOM to get to do anything(German weapons medal, all Army sports, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
