WCW legend Lex Luger has always been a beefy, muscular wrestler and has even been dubbed the total package. He was once the top guy in WWE based on his looks and physique. His finisher, the Torture Rack, seemed deadly and made even the toughest of wrestlers submit. However, what happens when the other wrestler is almost 400 pounds?
Lex Luger prided himself on making other wrestlers submit to his Torture Rack, but there was an instance when he had trouble with his own finisher.
Luger tried to pick up a nearly 400-pound wrestler, Road Block, for the Torture Rack but completely failed. The crowd cheered him to give it another go, which he did. Alas, no end product.

Seeing that Luger was on the verge of giving up, the crowd heavily cheered for one last try. Luger complied, and with the might of his shoulders, picked up the 400-pound man and delivered his finisher. And of course, the final victor was Lex Luger by submission.
This just goes to show how determination can turn the tide around whenever you want to. It was Luger’s steely perseverance that made
Vince McMahon push him as the top guy after Hulk Hogan left WWF for WCW.
