Unpopular Opinion: Lex Luger, for all his personal problems, had a much better and much longer main event career than two of wrestlings biggest well known problem children, Scott Hall and Scott Steiner

Huh? Scott Steiner was never hooked on drugs to the detriment of his career.

It's more like Steiner had a shorter main event run because of his backstage behavior changing for the worse in 2000 WCW so his Big Poppa Pump persona he was basically himself turned up to 11.

If anything, WWE and TNA never allowed Steiner into the main event picture again.

Steiner and Hall came with very bad reputations in the wrestling industry. Steiner more for his attitude and general lack of professionalism, Hall more for substance abuse and alcohol issues.

And yeah, while Luger was never brought back to the WWF in 2001 because of a bad combo of attitude problems, ongoing substance abuse, and also having left the WWF on bad terms before in 1995, at least he had a lengthy main event career that's more memorable.

Luger definitely was dimes. His peak moment of 1997 when he beat Hogan for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship Belt on the 100th episode of Nitro was definitely on par with his early WCW era career when he was that good from 1985-1991.

Luger was great and doesn't get enough recognition. He just wasn't a fit for WWF. #3 WCW guy behind Sting and Flair.

Luger and the WWF were never a good fit, talent wise. But even after the WWF didn't want him back in 2001, they eventually let Luger do work with their wellness policy as the wellness policy consultant, proof that WWE weren't completely against him.
