The gimmick exists outside of the title. In other words, Taker would not have elevated the title. He was over and giving him the belt wouldn't have got him "more over".Pillmanizednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-11746537032433883322015-02-17T17:23:19.085-07:002015-02-17T17:23:19.085-07:00Luger has 3 moves.

I didn't watch WCW prior to 94, so the only knowledge I had of him was from the Apter magazines of the time.
