Lex Luger is a guy that is pretty much ignored by WWE because he left the company abruptly in 1995 to show up on the first episode of WCW Monday Nitro. Since then he's basically been ignored by WWE except when they did a Confidential episode about him after his girlfriend Miss Elizabeth died because of a drug overdose. He never went to jail for it, but he did have a lot of drugs at his house that she was at, so it was very suspicious. If WCW still existed, he likely would have had some kind of role even after he retired simply because he was always a NWA/WCW guy. He's one of the biggest legends they had. Once WCW was gone, he did have a few short runs in TNA although like a lot of the guys listed here it really wasn't that memorable. Fans were not clamoring for more of Luger. He had a good run in wrestling, but was not at the level of his good friend Sting or others that made it to the top of the wrestling world. His life post wrestling has been a bit of a struggle due to a spinal stroke, but he's apparently doing better now after a number of surgeries.
