Lex Luger had something of an ego problem during the 1980s and 90s. He wasn't very well liked by his peers because he believed that he was above them and professional wrestling in general. Coming from a football background, Luger lacked the passion that a lot of the boys had for the business. For him, it was just a way to make money. Not that there's anything especially wrong with that, after all it is a business, but don't go around making that fact known and alienating your peers with your arrogance. Not only was Lex egotistical, but he also had his battles with substance abuse during his career. Luger had some dark times in the early 2000s, being arrested on several occasions and serving time in jail as well as being involved in the death of the former Miss Elizabeth on May 1, 2003. Lex and Liz and were in a relationship when she passed away of an acute toxicity when she combined alcohol with painkillers. The Total Package's life was a mess. Luger had a spiritual awakening after overdosing in a hotel room in 2005 and serving three months in jail in 2006. It was in prison that Luger was visited by a pastor who would smuggle Luger peanut butter, after the former star claimed that he was always hungry. Luger accepted Christ into his life and began to gradually humble himself and focus on rebuilding his lfie. Luger suffered a spinal stroke in 2007 that left him temporarily paralysed and confined to a wheelchair but he made a miraculous recovery, which he credits to God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4uld_YPq20
