Title History

Lex Luger
Aug. 4, 1997 - Aug. 9, 1997

Hulk Hogan ruled the wrestling world of Monday Nitro for almost one full year as WCW Heavyweight Champion. The Total Package Lex Luger was one of the WCW competitors hell bent on ridding WCW of the nWo, and he went straight to the top to cut them down. Much to the delight of the crowd in Auburn Hills, Mich., Luger slapped on the Torture Rack, and Hogan tapped out to give The Total Package the WCW Heavyweight Championship.
