Lex Luger Overwhelmed by WWE Hall of Fame Induction, Credits DDP for Support – Lex Luger has expressed deep gratitude following the announcement of his 2025 WWE Hall of Fame induction. The wrestling legend joins Triple H and Michelle McCool in the class of 2025, with the ceremony set for Friday, April 18, at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas during WrestleMania 41 weekend.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Luger admitted that he had once lost hope of receiving this honor.
“If you told me 20 years ago I’d even have anything to do with the wrestling business ever again at the place I was in—I’d almost given up hope of it ever happening. To go from there to 20 years later to being announced in the Hall of Fame…,” Luger said before getting too choked up to speak.
“Overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and congratulations shown by the incredible wrestling fans, family, and friends!!! So honored and filled with gratitude. Thank you Lord!!!” Luger posted to X shortly after the announcement.
Luger also credited Diamond Dallas Page for helping to bring about his induction. In early 2024, Luger went to stay at DDP’s place in Florida to take part in the DDP Yoga program to improve his mobility. Luger has used the assistance of a wheelchair since suffering a spinal stroke in 2007. DDP built a guest room for Luger, dubbed “The Total Package Suite.”
“Sting’s my best friend, but man, DDP and I have spent the last year together working out. I don’t think any of this might have happened at all without him. Him and his wife, they are special people, I’m telling you,” Luger continued.
Luger, who has been under a WWE Legends deal for a decade, said he hopes he can stand and possibly walk for his induction, something he and DDP are working on.
“I hope I can stand and maybe even walk, but we’re not there yet. But man, we’ve got a few weeks left,” Luger said.
Luger says there are two people he would like to induct him, but they need to get cleared by WWE management.
“I have two guys in mind. It’s got to go up through the chain of command with various people. So, we shall see, stay tuned,” he said.
The WWE Hall of Fame 2025 induction is scheduled for Friday, April 18, at the Fontainebleau hotel in Las Vegas. It will air live on Peacock and WWE’s social channels.
