Made In America! Lex Luger had a highly successful career in the sport of professional wrestling, however, the vast majority of fans and experts have hotly contested the ‘what if’ factor surrounding this man’s time in the business.

In other words, Luger, who was being promoted by the WWE in the 1990s as the next Hulk Hogan, ended up disappointing management because of a few botched promos with him forgetting lines and seemingly lacking confidence. ‘The Lex Express’ which had him travel all over the US, greeting fans and kissing babies as though he were the President, would all amount to nought for him in WWE.

Vince McMahon and co. shifted their promotional machine from Luger’s sidelong to promoting Canadian future-Hall of Famer Bret Hart. Although most fans have fond memories of Luger as their second most beloved American hero after Hogan, his time with the WWE was largely a bust owing to his lack of confidence on the mic.
