Not Good at wrestling: Lex Luger

Luger's chiseled physique was one of the most impressive of the 1980s, and to be honest his interviews were actually decent, too.

But once the bell rang Luger was adequate, at best. Men like Ric Flair could drag decent performances out of him, but he is mostly remembered for the loud 'OOOW' noises he made when selling offense. He would never quite make it to Flair or close friend Sting's level in the industry but is still a man who main evented a Wrestlemania and an 80s icon.
