10 People You Should Support For WWE Hall Of Fame Class 2016

4. Lex Luger

Lex Luger isn't someone who has always seen eye-to-eye with the world of professional wrestling. Listen to the man talk, and he'll be the first to admit that he wasn't a wrestling fan growing up, instead falling into the industry because he was enamoured by the prospect of making big money. Once an arrogant, self-centered kind of dude, the former WCW World Champion nonetheless can look back on a career of sustained success. Sure, he couldn't quite fill the shoes Vince McMahon was expecting him to in the early 90's, becoming the WWF's newest version of Hulk Hogan, but he wasn't entirely a failure, as a later run as a top star in WCW would prove. Several years ago, it may have seem impossible to picture Luger being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame, but the man has been working with the organisation over the past while, helping them with the Wellness Policy that tries to keep wrestlers off drugs, and aid them in living healthy lifestyles. A born-again Christian who has suffered incredibly with health and injuries over the past decade, Lex Luger has a refreshing outlook on wrestling.
