Did you know a top WWE Superstar just wrestled outside the company? More details HERE
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.

About the author

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
