Lex Luger became the first individual inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025, with his longtime friend Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) handling the honors.
As he prepared to deliver his speech, Luger managed to stand up from his wheelchair, aided by DDP and another person, and took a few steps towards the podium.
Before beginning his Hall of Fame induction, Luger confessed that they had intended for a longer walk, but a recent mishap during an Uber ride altered those plans.
In his speech, Luger expressed his gratitude to his friends, Pastor Steve, and all of his fans.
Luger reflected on his journey, noting that at first, he didn’t love the wrestling business, but he has now come full circle and is truly a big fan of the sport.
