#5 Lex Luger
Lex Luger transitioned from a football career to pro wrestling. Upon his debut, he quickly joined the villainous Four Horsemen stable and was considered a blue-chip talent from the get-go.
Luger became an icon of the 1980s and 1990s. Even as he aged into his middle years, Luger had one of the most spectacular builds in all of wrestling. His ability to draw money was never in question, and he headlined the NWA Starrcade pay per view against Nature Boy Ric Flair and came within a hair's breadth of winning the title.

The Total Package would eventually claim the WCW World title, becoming one of the few men to cleanly defeat Hollywood Hogan during his NWO run.
Critics who send hate Luger's way claim he wasn't a skilled wrestler, but that simply isn't true. Luger had consistent, clean performances every time he stepped in the ring. Given his size, he wasn't about to perform moonsaults or frankentsteiners off the top rope. Luger deserves more credit for his in-ring abilities than many are willing to give him.
