A brief history of Sting in Greensboro - 5 key moments 

#4. Sting and Lex Luger won the Crockett Cup in Greensboro

Sting and Lex Luger saw their marriage of convenience result in their capture of the Crockett Cup in 1988, with their triumph coming in Greensboro. Luger had been betrayed by Barry Windham, losing their NWA World Tag Team titles to Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard as Windham joined the new champs in the Four Horsemen. Sting was also without a partner for the tournament after his scheduled partner Ronnie Garvin suffered an injury in an attempt to save his brother Jimmy from a two-on-one from Kevin Sullivan and Rick Steiner.

Their Crockett Cup win in Greensboro saw the makeshift team defeat Anderson and Blanchard in the final, with their on and off alliance lasting up until 2002 and bringing each man a reign with the WCW World Tag Team Championship.

Sting returns to Greensboro to compete once again in tag team action, and will once again oppose Tully Blanchard as he, Darby and Punk take on MJF and FTR.

#3. Sting competed inside War Games in Greensboro

Whether using the name War Games or Blood and Guts, the two rings surrounded by an enormous steel cage represent one of the most popular stipulation matches used to solve an ongoing feud.

Upcoming opponents MJF and FTR entered the sadistic structure only earlier this year, but that will be of little consequence to Sting, a man who has left the structure with his hand raised on multiple occasions. One of those occasions happened to come in Greensboro, as Sting partnered with Ron Simmons, Tom Zenk, and Robert Gibson to take on Nikita Koloff, One Man Gang, The Diamond Studd (Scott Hall) and Richard Morton.

While now spared for the Blood and Guts special and NXT War Games respectively, the War Games match at the time was used during the WCW Great American Bash Tour of 1991. Therefore, Greensboro saw Sting enjoy victory in not one, but two War Games matches on 10/08/1991 & 11/08/2021.
