Luther Was Scheduled To Wrestle Steve Wilkos Once

The Japanese Deathmatch Legend Luther has shared the ring with the likes of Chris Jericho, Sabu, Lance Storm, Ultimo Dragon, and more.

Unfortunately, his biggest match ever never took place.

"You know I was supposed to wrestle (Steve Wilkos) once?" Luther commented while making a cameo/interrupting Fightful's interview with Joey Janela.

Steve Wilkos was famously the director of security on The Jerry Springer Show before getting his own show, The Steve Wilkos Show, in 2007.

Luther continued, explaining how the match was supposed to come together.

"Portland Wrestling is on the same channel as his show that he was on. They were supposed to set that up and something happened. I was the champion and I was supposed to wrestle him. That would have been super cool and awkward," he said.

It is unknown if Wilkos would have gotten his own show had he shared the ring with the Original Death Dealer.

Luther finished his comment by saying, "I actually had hair then. Scary. Anyways, I’m gonna go. I just wanted to crash your party."

Luther no longer has hair, which makes him a far scarier man.
