10 Shocking WWE Babyface Burials You Totally Don't Remember

3. Lex Luger Can't Be Trusted?

Vince McMahon inadvertently played an old school blinder when it came to Lex Luger’s last chapter in WWE before he shockingly returned to WCW for the inaugural Nitro in 1995.

The former headliner was buried deep by the beating he took from Diesel in the main event of SummerSlam ‘95, presumably to tease an impending feud with former Allied Powers partner The British Bulldog, who’d turned on the pay-per-view go-home show.

The assumption we were led to believe Diesel made was that Luger was working alongside Davey Boy Smith. Thus, when the former ‘Narcissist’ hit the ring to help out with a 2-on-1 assault by King Mabel and Sir Mo, ‘Big Daddy Cool’ levelled him just in case.

Luger was sent careering over the top rope, and by the time he’d recovered, Diesel was too indisposed to see him battering Mo all the way out of the match. He looked a f*cking mug, basically, until he flipped the script on WWE entirely and put his hands on hips on the other channel eight day later.
