In case you didn’t know…
WrestleMania week generally witnesses several professional wrestling events transpire in the city that hosts the WWE’s annual WrestleMania PPV.

The heart of the matter
WCW icon and WWE Hall of Famer Sting, has taken to social media to reveal a photo of him with fellow legends Lex Luger, Mr. Hughes, Mick Foley and Rick Steiner at WrestleCon during WrestleMania 34 weekend.
While Lex Luger is best known for his work in WWE and WCW, Mr. Hughes is widely-respected for his work in WWE, WCW as well as ECW.
Meanwhile, hardcore wrestling legend Mick Foley is no stranger to either of the aforementioned promotions and was present in New Orleans all through WrestleMania weekend.

Author’s take
It’s always great to see our favorite professional wrestling icons get together and reminisce about the time gone by. Truth be told, the era in which the aforementioned talent performed at their peak, was indeed a great time to be a fan of pro-wrestling.
Nostalgia never goes out of fashion, regardless, perhaps the biggest lesson today’s industry can learn from legends of the past is that in order to entertain the fans, character development is just as important as in-ring skills.
