Sting reunites with former WWE Royal Rumble winner ahead of AEW All In

Newer fans of professional wrestling know Sting from his work in the WWE and most recently, AEW. However, in the '80s and '90s, he was wrestling for WCW and was also one of the biggest attractions in the promotion. Furthermore, he and the legendary Lex Luger.

Sting and Lex Luger joined forces in 1988 to participate in the Jim Crockett Sr. Memorial Cup Tag Team Tournament. They were not favorites to win the contest, however, they proved everyone wrong by triumphing over Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard in the final. Their friendship is fondly remembered and reports suggest that Luger returned to WCW after a phone call with 'The Icon.' Recently, the duo got together once again, at the 58th annual reunion of the Cauliflower Alley Club.

The 65-year-old even posted a photo of them together at the event with the caption:

"Thank you @CACReunion 👊🏼🦂 Grateful," Sting wrote.

He attended the Cauliflower Alley Club reunion to receive the prestigious Iron Mike award, the organization's highest honor.
