10 Wrestling Feuds Where The Bad Guy Won
3. Yokozuna Vs. Lex Luger
Poor Lex Luger.
It's unlikely he asked to have his giant mirror taken off him and replaced with a multi-day electioneering bus tour in 1993, but that's exactly what he received as Vince McMahon waved his d*ck in the dark looking for the next Hulk Hogan.
Luger had been such a 'Total Package' in WCW that his body seemed a natural fit for the old-style WWE, but the man himself wasn't really a fit for the profile of the company's former top hero. As well as not quite having the working chops of 'The Hulkster' when it really counted, he also didn't appear to have the drive - Luger's "Call To Action" campaign was ironically (and rather tragically) a necessary feature of his push rather than just a way to fill television time en route to his first battle with WWE Champion Yokozuna.
He won by countout to keep the feud alive until WrestleMania the following spring, but McMahon's interest died in the interim. By March, the natural order of things called for Bret Hart to be reinstalled as Champion, forcing Luger to lose to Yoko by disqualification to pay the angle off. Both slipped from the pedestal after the fact, but at least the sumo star had a run and reign to his name.
