LEX LUGER

Known for his ring name as Lex Luger, this former WWF professional wrestler is actually a mellow guy. In the ring, though, he is sought for the tactics he would come up with to intimidate his opponents. In wrestling, he is the character that sets the thrills in the ring to the degree that it solicits different reactions from the audience. His career in the limelight began when he played football for the NFL team, the Miami Hurricanes.

However, he has booted off the team. It was in 1985, in a celebrity golfing event, where Luger met Bob Roop, and the opportunity opened for Luger to try out possibilities in the professional wrestling world. After a long and fruitful career as a wrestler, he took some time off and emerged in 2011, coming out of his semi-retirement to work on the WWE Wellness Policy and club, which promotes healthy practices among its athletes.
