Not sure if this was already brought up(am lazy today), but is this worthy of an induction? A funeral for Lex Luger and him being reborn as the Total Package, and he gets this Terminator(no not that Vance Archer theme)like entrance theme music. At the beginning, when a voice was calling for Tony, I thought it was a promo for Se7en. Is it?

Dear God, I can't believe I'd never seen this! Finally, an explanation as to why they stopped using his name towards the end there!
I have to say, I do love the Brain, and Liz was as hot as ever!

I actually do remember seeing this. Can't believe it's been that long. The one part that stuck to me was the funeral sequence.

Notice near the end Bobby The Brain was acting a bit like he was when he was managing Luger as The Narcissist.

I remember seeing this on TV that night. I was watching with my dad, and we were both pretty much saying "...WTF?" It was a very weird promo. Despite its potential coolness, Luger was not the guy for such a gimmick. He was already well over the hill and increasingly immobile himself at the time. He had gone through countless revamps already, this one was just as lame.
And the voice at the start sounded a lot more like The Black Scorpion or The Shockmaster to me. Damn, did WCW love that voice distorter!

I still say that looks like a promo for Se7en/Dustin Rhodes, I mean there was a friggin window at the beginning, didn't that appear in his promo too, together with that eerie voice? |

I don't remember the funeral promo and seeing it now gives me a bad feeling for obvious reasons.

...well that was silly.
I mean, it had some interesting ideas, but it was executed VERY poorly.
Plus, Lex didn't seem any different at all, and he was already going by The Total Package.
Just...so unnecessary.

I liked the gimmick because I was hoping WCW could use the WWF's Narasist gimmick to give Luger a heel run in WCW because he was such a better heel.

He tried re-inventing himself after getting busted with steroids, but "The Tiny Package" wasn't that marketable a gimmick.

I read somewhere that Killings was in WCW sometime in the 90s, not sure when.
