This one may very well come as a huge surprise to many fans. Lex Luger was at one time on top of the world, as one of the most over and successful figures in professional wrestling. However, Luger lived a very dark life of drug addiction, which would eventually catch up with him.

Thankfully, Luger was able to eventually recognise his faults, turn from his self-destructive ways and get control of his life.

There is this misconception that Lex Luger is somehow blacklisted from the WWE and not welcome at all. This actually could not be further from the truth. In fact, his services are welcomed with open arms.

In 2011, Vince McMahon and the WWE began using Lex Luger to assist with the WWE Talent Wellness Policy. Luger gets an opportunity to deal one-on-one with today's Superstars that may be struggling with dependency issues or some sort of growing addiction.
