5 Wrestlers that wrestled in WWE but did better in WCW

#2 Lex Luger

Luger eventually departed the WWE in 1995

At nearly 6'5 and 260 lbs, the Total Package was quite the specimen to behold. During his time in the NWA, which later became WCW, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Lex Luger was that unique combination of strength and speed, bundled up into one phenomenal package.

He captured the United States and WCW World Heavyweight championship and was a member of the iconic Four Horsemen. So when he departed WCW for WWE, it was easy to think that he would achieve the same success inside the ring and have a longstanding title reign.

When he first got there, Luger was first known as ‘The Narcissist,' and then was identified as ‘American Made.' He was supposed to be the second coming of Hulk Hogan, and he would challenge for the title at Wrestlemania X.

Unfortunately, Luger didn't capture the title, and as it turned out he would never capture the championship. Luger eventually departed the WWE in 1995, returning to WCW and once again used as the main event challenger that many knew him to be. Despite not achieving the same success in WWE, Luger was very successful in WCW.
