Serious Injuries - Arm (Required Surgery)

Place in History - It seems as if one injury can take all the potential of a young wrestler and turn them into a could've-been. Lex Luger really had it all and could have been the heir to the throne of wrestlers like Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior with his incredible physique and in-ring charisma. However Luger was arguably better all around than Hogan and had all potential in the world in 1987. As the decade closed out, Luger took over where Kerry Von Erich left off having great matches with Ric Flair and proving to be very carriable. Then when he was primed to take over Hogan's position in the WWF, Luger (a) sustained an arm injury, (b) didn't have Hogan's charisma and (c) was going into an uncool company. Luger's work was downhill from the point he left WCW. His WWF run was a bust, his 6+ years back in WCW were the most successful of his career, but he cut corners and was no longer the athelete he'd once been. Luger, like half a dozen other promising stars, never quite peaked the way many would have hoped, though at least he provided WCW with a name star. It would be hard to call his career a failure, but after leaving WCW in `92, he never ruled the sport like many thought he would.
