Truth be told, I didn't expect Lex Luger to sit so high in this list, but thinking back he did seem to take part in a lot of matches at the top of hour two that ended in DQ or count-out finishes. Luger was the biggest deal to come out of the first episode of Monday Nitro after all, showing up completely out of the blue in what was one of the very first shots fired in the Monday Night Wars.

Luger's first match on Nitro was equally monumental, a match against Hulk Hogan that ended in a disqualification (shocker). The rest of the episode was less memorable, as Alex Wright defeated Sabu and Sting defeated V.K. Wallstreet.

As for Luger's final Nitro match, this took place just two weeks before the final Nitro in history. Luger's opponent (and conquerer) on that night was Booker T.
