Lex Luger details miraculous recovery from near quadriplegic to standing for WWE Hall of Fame: 'I was at the breaking point'

Lex Luger's induction into the WWE Hall of Fame was heartwarming for more than the obvious reasons.

Luger joined his fellow 2025 inductees Triple H and Michelle McCool among the eight individuals enshrined into WWE lore this past WrestleMania week in Las Vegas. It's been a long road to get here for Luger, and one many feared he'd never reach due to numerous legal troubles and battles with substance abuse. Luger's health dwindled to such a degree that he became a borderline quadriplegic in the late 2000s, suffering from minimal movement in his head and shoulders due to a cervical injury.
