Lawrence Wendell "Larry" Pfohl (born June 2, 1958) better known by the ring name Lex Luger, is an American retired professional wrestler, television producer and football player currently working with WWE on their wellness policy. He is best known for his work with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE).

Luger is a two-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion and one-time WWA World Heavyweight Champion. He is also a five-time NWA/WCW United States Heavyweight Champion who holds the records for consecutive days and total days as champion. Although he never won a championship in the WWF, he challenged for every title in the organization (including WWF World Heavyweight Championship matches at SummerSlam in 1993 and WrestleMania X in 1994) and was the 1994 Royal Rumble co-winner with Bret "Hitman" Hart.Pro Wrestling Illustrated readers voted Luger the Most Popular Wrestler of the Year in 1993, while he was contracted to the WWF, attributing to his quick popularity which he earned in the company just a few months after his debut at the 1993 Royal Rumble, becoming a top star of WWF until his departure in 1995.
