Lex Luger has a long-standing friendship with Sting but is playing coy with the topic of whether he will be at the Icon’s final wrestling match.
On a recent edition of his “Lex Expressed” podcast, Luger was asked if he intends to go to AEW Revolution 2024 to see the final match of Sting. He said,
“You want me to answer that? Let me put it this way. I will go back to 35 years of friendship. Friendship sometimes transcends the kayfabe or workup the other and there may be ramifications or there may not. Sting was there for me at three in the morning when I had my motorcycle wreck and they wanted to cut my arm off and kind of stopped the doctors from cutting my arm off.
“So people could read into that what they want, on whether I might be at the building or not. I won’t confirm anything, but I’m just saying. I’ll leave it in that context. How’s that?”
Luger and Sting’s real-life friendship was often referenced in WCW despite the pair often being on opposite ends of the face/heel dynamic.
It was a phone call with Sting that helped convince Luger to jump to WCW in 1995. He would appear on the debut episode of WCW Monday Nitro.
In the interview, Luger also shared his take on Sting’s sons being involved in the legend’s feud with the Young Bucks. You can check out those comments here.
