Diamond Dallas Page gives update on Lex Luger documentary
Diamond Dallas Page is working on a Lex Luger documentary, but the project does not have a definitive release date yet.
On YouTube, DDP has produced videos of himself and Luger working together as Luger strives to get his mobility back. There have been huge milestones like Luger being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, along with more personal ones like him being able to trim his Christmas tree for the first time in two decades. But DDP told Insight with Chris Van Vliet that a full-fledged documentary will only be finished when Luger reaches the right point in his recovery.
“That’s the goal,” DDP said about releasing a Luger documentary. “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.”
Luger was able to stand up from his wheelchair unassisted when he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2025. He originally wanted to do a longer walk to the podium, but Luger fell while getting into his wheelchair at the airport. The fall meant that Luger had to scrap his initial plans.
“He hit that concrete — and he felt so bad,” DDP said on Insight. “He’s like, ‘D, I feel so bad. I can’t walk and I want to do this for you.’ I’m like, ‘F*ck me, this is about you. And we’re doing a documentary.’ So another, ‘Oh, almost,’ you know?”
Luger suffered a spinal stroke in 2007 and has used a wheelchair to get around since. DDP has been there throughout the process and has seen Luger become a much better person along the way.
“He’s still got Lex in him, but the bottom line is he’s one of the nicest human beings on this planet,” DDP said.
DDP also produced the documentary “The Resurrection of Jake the Snake” in 2015. It followed DDP and Jake “The Snake” Roberts as Roberts worked to overcome his past demons.
