#7 Lex Luger's Human Torture Rack

Luger racks IRS

Lex Luger was given the nickname "Total Package" by Ole Anderson, due to Lex's combined strength, speed, and charisma. Though he initially joined the Four Horsemen as a Heel, Luger quickly transitioned to babyface and developed a new finisher; The Human Torture Rack.

Called by some an Argentine Back Breaker, Luger ups the ante by making it into a submission hold rather than a simple backbreaker. A man who can bench press over seven hundred pounds has exceptional strength, and Luger has racked some of the sport's biggest men, including Big Show Paul Wight.
