Lex Luger was the next superstar after The Ultimate Warrior who Vince McMahon viewed as the next top star of the company. He had the look of a top star and WWE felt that it was the right call to turn him from a narcissistic heel to an American hero overnight.

Luckily for WWE, Bret Hart was a rising star around the same time and they realized in 1994 to go with him instead.
