Prior to Bumming with Bobcat being online, I had another website called The Lex Express that was developed out of respect and dedication for the time Lex Luger was riding around the United States in a bus before his match with Yokozuna at SummerSlam 1993.
The year was 2001, and on July 4, 2001 The Lex Express was back on the road! We covered everything in the wrestling world with some additional fun and excitement. With a variety of different guest columnists, we had ourselves a nice following in the world before Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Without further adieu, lets get to the action!

It was thirteen years ago that The Lex Express first opened its
doors and allowed fans of professional wrestling to hop aboard and join
us on a journey around these great United States. Since that time I have
tried to recreate the magic that once was The Lex Express website, but
failed. People cannot seem to be as joyful and enthusiastic and they
once were about Lex Luger and his "Call To Action Campaign"
Never forget that 21 years ago there was one man who tried
his best to stop that evil foreigner Yokozuna by body slamming his fat
ass. While he never did win the championship, he did win by count-out!
And in my book that is as good of a victory as any! That man is the one,
the only, "Made in the USA" Lex Luger!
Let's all do our part for Lex! Lex Luger for WWE Hall of Fame!
Good luck and god speed!
