Lex Luger competed in the sport of professional wrestling from 1985 until his retirement in 2006. Luger unfortunately had to deal with a few health issues over the years, and since 2011, he has been utilizing his knowledge and experience in order to help the WWE with their wellness policy.

On the other hand, Sting too works in a non-wrestling ambassador role with the WWE, under a WWE Legends contract. These two beloved veterans of the sport have known each other since the 1980s, and have been great friends ever since.


#2 Probably doesn't like: Kevin Nash

The real life heat between Sting on the one hand, against Scott Hall and Kevin Nash on the other, is said to have began at a WCW house show in Tupelo, Mississippi. Speaking to The Hannibal TV, former WCW talent relations worker, official and ring announcer David Penzer narrated this story which transpired in the 1990s after Hall and Nash left WWE and joined WCW in mid-1996.

Back then the performers used to carry cassettes which had their entrance music. However, at the aforementioned house show in Tupelo, the decision was made to have Hall & Nash enter to a different theme song -- a slow rap and blues number.

The main event of the evening was a tag team match -- Sting & Randy Savage vs. Scott Hall & Kevin Nash. The WCW had impressively sold out the house show -- something they usually failed to do in Tupelo. A goof up in the insertion of the cassette resulted in half an hour being wasted before The Outsiders (Hall & Nash) could make their entrance.

Penzer claims that while backstage, Sting allegedly told Hall & Nash to just make their entrance regardless of the music. Sting allegedly added, 'It's only Tupelo'. Well, Hall & Nash then revealed the same to WCW President Eric Bischoff, who then gave all the WCW talent an earful about not taking any show lightly -- no matter how small the show is.

In the years that followed, Sting had a tense relationship in the professional realm with Hall & Nash. Fortunately, Sting eventually buried the hatchet with both Hall & Nash...
