STING
Aside from Ric Flair, nobody has more success and longevity in the WCW than Sting. Starting in the early 80’s, Sting came up the hard way, mastering his craft at the UWF. It didn’t take him long to get to the NWA and challenge Ric Flair for the Heavyweight title. The match was a 45-minute epic display of charisma and skill that would make any wrestling fan fall in love. They wouldn’t fall out of love any time soon.

Eventually, WCW officials wanted Flair to relinquish his belt to Lex Luger, but Flair refused and demanded that Sting get it. Sting went on to win the title from Flair and go on to a legacy as one of the most beloved faces of all time.

In 1996, Hulk Hogan was in the WCW and the Monday Night Wars were getting underway. Sting was in a brief hiatus. In one of the sickest moments of all-time, Hollywood Hogan emerged and double-crossed Randy Savage and joined the NWO.

Sting shed his previous look and adopted a much cooler crow-like appearance. He frequently made appearances dropping out of the ceiling and kicking anybody’s ass that got in his way. Sting would eventually join the NWO Wolfpack and eventually just annihilate the whole NWO.

He’s now working for TNA and is the same old awesome Sting after all these years. He’s also the only wrestler to become a superstar without EVER stepping foot in the WWE. If he had, he easily would have been a top ten pick. We feel this is very good value.
