"Lex Luger's Historic WWE Gold Campaign Commences in American History"

On this day in 1993, Lex Luger began his campaign for the WWE title, traveling the country in a red, white, and blue tour bus called the Lex Express. Despite the patriotic promotion, Luger reportedly disliked the grassroots approach and had a bad attitude towards fans. Although it seemed like Luger would win the title, Vince McMahon changed his mind and delayed the coronation until WrestleMania. Ultimately, Luger lost his match against Yokozuna and Bret Hart became the new champion. Luger's time in WWE is considered one of the biggest disappointments in wrestling history.
