10 Wrestler Quirks You'll Never Be Able To Unsee

9. Lex Luger's Noises

Lex Luger looked awesome, could work convincingly as a heel or a babyface in the right context and - when motivated - could carry himself as a company's top star.

He was also the loudest motherf*cker to get in there.

Chris Jericho and John Cena are names often associated with being a little too clear when it comes to calling their shots mid-match, and though this wasn't ever Luger's issue he voiced just about every other utterance over his many years between the ropes.

Impossible to unsee and unhear, go back and watch any Lex Luger match and pick a random point where he's either taking some abuse or dishing it out himself. In what's either an involuntary reaction to what he's putting his body through or an attempt to add flair to a predetermined fight, Luger loudly shouts about it.

"OH!" he says, as he absorbs a shot to the sternum. "OH!" he notes as he rains down on somebody with right hands. "OH!" he follows up with as he unleashes an irish whip. Or takes one. He was class on his day, but this is a bizarrely difficult one to get past.
