Lex Luger. The Narcissist. The Total Package. The All-American. Lex Luger had great runs in WCW. He was a two-time WCW World Champion, two-time WCW US Champion, a member of nWo Wolfpac, and feuds with several big stars with the company.

While Luger debuted in WWE as a heel, he was repackaged as an All-American, after Hulk Hogan left the company. He did get a push with the company primarily in feuds with Yokozuna as he was slated to win the WWE Championship at SummerSlam in 1993. Vince McMahon didn't give him the title as he didn't feel that Luger was a draw.

While Luger was joint-winner of the 1994 Royal Rumble with Bret Hart, that didn't translate into a World Title win for Lex. After that, he began feuding with Tatanka and Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation. In 1995, he was in a short-lived tag team with British Bulldog called The Allied Powers.

It didn't last long as Lex made his way back to WCW. While a rarity, it's quite interesting to see Luger remains one of the few headliners who never actually won a title in WWE.
