As the top entry on this list, no one is lamenting the end of their initial tag team of the Blade Runners when both legends were green rookies. The tag team staying together at that point in time would have likely only delayed the meteoric, parallel rise of both superstars into the absolute icons they became in the industry. Things worked out just fine in that regard. No, this entry is for their short-lived reunion in WCW in 1998. Sting was in the midst of his red-faced run as a member of the Wolfpac while a post-WWE Warrior was brought in for his short feud with Hulk Hogan. Yet, in a rare turn of booking brilliance, WCW reunited the superstar team for a one-off match against Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart. The sight of these four hall of famers squaring off in the ring was genuinely surreal but the fact that it reunited Sting and the Warrior after they became established stars was true magic. The match itself consisted of Sting basically wrestling the entire way against Hart/Hogan until a brief hot tag to Warrior and then the subsequent traditional Nitro DQ finish. (As an added bonus, Warrior curiously decided to wrestle the whole match wearing a duster jacket and jeans which was weird even by his standards) Yet, this brief team-up of the two legends offered a glimpse of a dream team that fans had clamored for since each wrestler rose to greatness. If WCW had kept the pair as allies and extended the team on a legitimate run then pure nostalgia alone could have kept them relevant. Alas, that single reunion was all fans would ever receive of these two legends together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylaIBeJFPp4 What great team-ups that ended prematurely were missed?
