Miss Elizabeth and Lex Luger

A Bond That Led to Tragedy

On May 1st, 2003, the wrestling world mourned the death of Miss Elizabeth. She was just 42 years old when she died in the townhouse she shared with her boyfriend, Lex Luger. 

Here, he opens up about the events surrounding the death of his former girlfriend, and the downfall that followed.

Miss Elizabeth – The First Lady of Wrestling

Liz Hulette will forever be tied to her professional and personal relationship with Randall Mario Poffo, better known as Randy Savage.

The couple got divorced in August of 1992 and went their separate ways after what some would call a sometimes tumultuous six-year marriage. 

In 1999, she began working on and off with Lex Luger until May 2000, when she exited the company and never made a TV appearance for another wrestling promotion again.

Luger believes that the real problems started when he began taking opiates, which are drugs derived from the poppy plant. He then gradually began using pain killers.

Lex Luger: “I take responsibility for my influence in her life. Her little heart and body couldn’t take what I was doing.”
