Many WWE fans may best remember Lex Luger for his Lex Express tour, which took him to the main event of SummerSlam 1993 wherein he defeated WWE Champion, Yokozuna but failed to win the title, with his victory coming via Countout.

Luger was soon rejected as a main event talent by WWE fans which was surprising because prior to his WWE tenure he had reigned as WCW United States and WCW World Champion and had contested sterling contests with the likes of Ric Flair, Brian Pillman and Sting.

Subsequent to his WWE run, he returned to WCW for a further six years where he would reign as WCW World Champion again and would memorably feud with the nWo alongside his buddy, Sting and would engage in famous battles with the likes of Macho Man Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan.

Luger's greatest successes came in WCW where he fought at the top of the card on and off for over a decade and was one of the company's biggest ever stars. He is conspicuous by his absence in the WWE Hall of Fame, despite currently working for the company as an advisor to their Wellness Policy. His induction is surely imminent and will likely take place within the next three years.
