#2 Lex Luger
One of the household names in the annals of pro wrestling, Luger was thought to be the next big thing in WWE's books. Draped in red, white and blue, Luger announced himself to the world after he body slammed a nearly 600-pound Yokozuna aboard the USS Intrepid amidst much fanfare.
This set the ball rolling for Lex as the WWE saw money in his All American gimmick. Deemed to be "Made in the USA", he toured around the country in his 'Lex Express' greeting fans and establishing himself as a babyface in a bid to build up a reputation for his debut match against Yokozuna for the World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam 1993, which Luger won by countout.
Despite some good performances, Luger found himself falling down the pecking order and after he failed to win at SummerSlam in 1994, Lex opted to leave for the WCW, appearing on WWE Raw and Nitro on the same night. He never told Vince McMahon about this, as he had to find out while watching it live.
Ever the company man, this naturally infuriated McMahon. It was at this stage that he vowed to never work with Lex ever again.
A return in WWE never came and any chance was all but ended after Luger was paralyzed in 2007. I’m a huge Vince fan but he can definitely be ruthless and won’t forgive Lex for what he sees as a traitorous act.
