The Untold Truth Of Miss Elizabeth

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Most narratives surrounding Miss Elizabeth's relationship with Lex Luger (real name Larry Pfohl) have suggested that they were heavily involved in drug and alcohol use. Luger himself admitted this on "Prime Time with Sean Mooney" (via Pro Wrestling Stories), explaining that the "'work hard / play hard' mentality wound up catching up to me with the play hard." He also touched on Elizabeth's tragic death, as he clarified that neither of them had "anticipated" overdosing. However, Liz and Luger's relationship had another dark side to it — alleged domestic abuse on Luger's part, as suggested when he was arrested less than two weeks before Elizabeth's death.

On April 19, 2003, police arrived at Luger's townhouse and arrested him after he and Elizabeth apparently got into a physical altercation, according to 1Wrestling. Officers reportedly found Elizabeth crying with both of her eyes bruised, a cut lip, and a bump on her head. It isn't clear what provoked the fight, but Luger was charged with misdemeanor battery and later on released on a $2,500 bond; these charges were eventually dropped after Elizabeth's death.

For his part, the veteran wrestler claimed in an interview with Hannibal TV that it "wasn't a physical thing" – Liz supposedly got the marks on her face while she was walking their dogs about a week before the incident. "If I were to sock 150 lbs Elizabeth, I'd be afraid I'd kill her," he said in a separate interview. "That's the stupidest, most ridiculous rumor that I could ever imagine being portrayed!"
