Lex Luger is hopeful this year could be the time he gets his induction.
Luger was a main event star in both the WWF and WCW. He made history by becoming the first and only co-winner of the Royal Rumble when he and Bret Hart eliminated each other at the same time before he jumped ship to Monday Night Nitro on its inaugural episode.
On the most recent episode of the Lex Expressed podcast, Luger spoke about how he remains hopeful that 2024 could be the year that he can finally get his induction into the WWE’s Hall of Fame.
“Wow, that would be a nice storyline. I get a little buzz every year, lately, as time has passed. A lot of people, we’ve talked about this a little bit before, people go, ‘Lex is not in? I thought he was already in.’ I get that all the time. ‘You’re not in?’ I go, ‘No, not yet. Hopefully someday because it would be such an honor.’ I always tell people it would be such an honor,” he said. “There’s definitely more buzz around it this year. I don’t know if them including me more on The Bump and some of the stuff over the last couple years, I’m not sure if there is a direct correlation there or not or if they even give it that much thought prior to a selection. Obviously, I’m flattered and honored that so many people have brought it up.”
Luger also expressed his desire to get up out of his wheelchair if he were to be inducted into the Hall of Fame any time soon.
