Lex Loser, more like! Eh?!

Such caustic candour probably wasn't too far removed from the pelters the former 'Narcissist' was likely receiving in WWE's head office by late-1994, long after the catastrophic Lex Express push of 1993 was brushed aside as the company's most expensive ever flop.

Ted Dibiase's Million Dollar Corporation wasn't yet the midcard's most toxic story, in part due to their consistent victories over Luger and his ilk following Tatanka's shocking SummerSlam '94 turn. Dibiase and his crew were the latest to make Lex look an absolute imbecile, managing even to turn a sizable portion of the fanbase against him during a summer programme in which accusations were thrown around about him 'selling out'.

Designed as his pay-per-view redemption, Luger brought together big lads and cowboys to take down his former Native American friend as Bam Bam Bigelow, The Heavenly Bodies and King Kong Bundy. But like just about everything else he tried in WWE, he wasn't very good at it.

The heels had control for virtually the entire duration of the match, and his last gasp elimination of Tatanka with the odds stacked three-to-one against him didn't make up for a woeful all-round display. Gone from the company less than a year later, it was his last pinfall victory on a WWE pay-per-view.
