WCW World Championship - Lex Luger

July 14, 1991 - February 29, 1992

Prior to the 1991 Great American Bash, Lex Luger was named No. 1 Contender for Ric Flair's WCW Championship and was set to face Flair at the pay-per-view. However, Flair left WCW before the event and the title was declared vacant; Barry Windham was named the No. 2 Contender, and he and Luger squared off in a Steel Cage Match at the Bash to determine a new champion.

In the match, Luger used the advice of Harley Race (who became Luger's manager that night) to defeat Windham with a piledriver and finally claim the WCW Championship.
