10 Wrestlers Who Should Have Been WWE Heavyweight Champion

10. Lex Luger

Lex Luger wasn't a great in-ring wrestler. He wasn't even the best promo. But boy, in the early '90s, did he have the look. The man was chiselled beyond belief and for a while, he had the backing of both the fans and the WWE machine.

It seems weird when we look back at iconic moments such as the double Rumble finish, Luger appearing on the first Nitro and him being carried holding the US flag, that Luger never won a title belt in the WWE and he seems like he should have been the WWE Champion at some point.

But it was never the case. Sure, he was pretty pedestrian in the ring, but in the early 90s, the likes of Hulk Hogan, Sid Vicious and The Undertaker were ruling the main event. The style wasn't as pulse racing as what HBK and Bret Hart would usher in and Luger, whether under the guise as the Narcissist or the 'Lex Express', should have held the belt at least once.

Why didn't he? WHO KNOWS! (Maybe his t-shirts were too tight?)
