Lex Luger On WWE Hall Of Fame Induction: I Just Wanted To Make Sure To Thank The Right People Because We Never Make It Alone

Lex Luger comments on his WWE Hall Of Fame induction speech.

Luger was inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame class of 2025 earlier this year, an accomplishment that Luger marked by walking to the podium in a heart warming moment for fans who have become accustomed to Luger needing to use a wheelchair.

While speaking to Denise Salcedo of Instinct Culture in a new interview, Luger was asked about being inducted into the Hall Of Fame, joking about how he can now put it on convention banners.

“It was awesome. I used to have people come up all the time at these type of events and (say) ‘hey, can you put Hall of Fame on there?’ They go, ‘not yet.’ They thought I was already in. So it was such a relief even coming to these. Now I actually ask, ‘would you want Hall of Fame on there?’ They go, ‘yeah, I’d like that on there.’ So it’s very cool. A great honor, of course.”

Denise would then ask Luger about how it was to come up with what he wanted to say during his speech, with the now Hall Of Famer noting that it came easy to him.

“It was actually easier on me. I do inspirational speaking and stuff and motivational speaking. So I’m kind of an extemporaneous speaker. So I kind of thought what I wanted to say, but I knew I was only going to go two or three minutes. So it wasn’t really hard. I just wanted to make sure I thanked the right people because we never make it alone. I wanted to thank the good Lord and all the fans and everybody helped me along the way. So that’s what you want to kind of keep in mind in a thing like that. It was a great evening.”

Lex would then praise DDP, noting that he let DDP have nine of the 12 minutes they were allotted for his induction speech.

“Well, I had DDP induct me. They said we had 12 minutes. I gave him nine. because he had a whole thing. He laid it out. He was unbelievable. All I had to do was come out and say, thank you very much.”

In a recent update on Luger’s health journey it was revealed that Lex is able to walk un-assisted now. You can read more about that here.
