Sting (Wrestling)	comment	He does this, he does that â™« He's quick as a cat, and he hits you with a bat â™« (Wait, that's not right...)Steve Borden (born March 20, 1959) is better known to wrestling fans as (The Man Called) Sting. Beginning his career in 1985, he was recruited by a talent scout named Rick Bassman to train with three other wrestlers known as Power Team USA. Then known as Flash Borden, he and fellow Power Team USA member Jim "Justice" Helwig (who later became the Ultimate Warrior) were called up by Jerry Jarrett (father of Jeff Jarrett) and joined the Continental Wrestling Association as the "Freedom Fighters". The two later joined Bill Watts' Universal Wrestling Federation in 1986, renaming their team the "Blade Runners" and Borden and Justice renamed themselves Sting and Rock respectively.But the majority of Sting's career saw him working in WCW from 1987 (back when it was still known as Jim Crockett Promotions) until the company's demise in 2001, where he became the company's biggest star during the 1990s. Starting out as a bleached blonde surfer bum type, he later transitioned into the Eric Draven-inspired look which (apart from an ill-conceived Joker costume in 2011) he's retained to this very day. Sting stayed a member of the WCW roster up until the company's demise in 2001, feuding with the New World Order; he even wrestled in its last match, defeating his frenemy and fellow veteran Ric Flair.Prior to 2014, Sting had never worked for WWE in any capacity since WCW's demise. Choosing instead to have control over his career and his gimmick, Sting worked the independent circuit until around 2006, when he became an on-again/off-again member of the TNA roster, with multiple title reigns. He left TNA in early 2014, taking several months off until April, appearing on a WWE special following the death of his good friend and former tag team partner the Ultimate Warrior. He has since appeared in other retrospectives on Warrior's legacy, sparking rumors (correct, as it turned out) that he was in talks to perform on WWE television, a persistent dream match of the last decade. On the July 14, 2014 episode of Raw, Sting appeared in a spot for the WWE 2K15 video game as a pre-order bonus character. Sting made his official WWE debut at Survivor Series 2014 attacking The Authority and ruining their match against Team Cena. note In case you're wondering, the current "Biggest star from the English-speaking world never to have worked for WWE in any capacity" is now believed to be Fritz Von Erich. Yes, even Kenny Omega briefly worked for WWE's developmental territory Deep South Wrestling early in his career.Among his in-ring achievements, he is a former 2x NWA World Heavyweight Champion, a former 7x WCW World Heavyweight Champion, a former 2x WCW United States Heavyweight Champion, a former NWA World Television Champion, a former 3x WCW World Tag Team Champion, a former 4x TNA World Heavyweight Champion and a former TNA World Tag Team Champion. He is the inaugural inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016, where he officially announced his retirement from wrestling... which lasted until December 2, 2020, when Sting un-retired and joined the roster of AEW. Since becoming All-Elite, he has acted as a mentor and tag team partner to young wrestler Darby Allin. On the 18th of October 2023 episode of Dynamite he announced that he would have his final match and truly retire for good at AEW Revolution 2024. Oh... incidentally, he helped out Allin to earn themselves the AEW World Tag-Team title on February 7. 2024 at almost 65 years old! On March 3 at Revolution, he went out as an undefeated champion, successfully defending the title alongside Allin against The Young Bucks in his final match.Do not confuse with the trope, the musician Gordon Sumner (although they have met and been photographed together before), the film, the dagger used by Frodo and his Uncle, or the painful infliction of the same name.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_16f15b4	type	Still Got It
Sting (Wrestling) / int_16f15b4	comment	Still Got It: While people were thrilled to see Sting show up again in AEW, there were questions hanging over whether he was really in any condition to actually wrestle, as he was already in his sixties. AEW were initially very restrained in their use of him- in the first few months he took a few bumps and dealt out a few moves in promo and beatdown segments, but his only actual match was the street fight he and his young protÃ©gÃ© Darby Allin had against Team Taz at Revolution 2021, which was a prerecorded cinematic match which allowed AEW to carefully protect him and let him look his best (ironically the same thing WWE had done with The Undertaker's Boneyard Match against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36). Then at Double or Nothing 2021 he had his first live in-ring match in front of the first full-capacity crowd since the COVID-19 Pandemic began, teaming with Darby again against the team of Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky, where he finally proved that yes, he does still have it! Over the 3 years of his final run, from Revolution 2021 to his retirement match at Revolution 2024, Sting would frequently wrestle in big tag matches where he consistantly performed at a level that belied his age, performing increasingly insane stunts and bumps and yet never getting an injury, ending his AEW career with a flawless record of 29-0. It's considered possibly the finest retirement run any senior wrestling legend has ever had, proving that the Icon would indeed still have it right to the end.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_17501df2	comment	Cool Old Guy: Worked his retirement match less than three weeks before turning 65, and could still keep up with guys much younger than him. To put this in perspective, he's SIX YEARS OLDER than The Undertaker, the longest serving member of the WWE before his own retirement in 2020. Watching him in AEW is something to behold. While he understandably lacks the acrobatics of many of his contemporaries, most of his opponents weren't even born yet when Sting started wrestling, and he not only comes out on top most of the time but makes it look credible.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_200c8312	type	Alternate Company Equivalent
Sting (Wrestling) / int_200c8312	comment	Alternate Company Equivalent: For some weird reason, there are tons of comparisons between Sting and The Undertaker. Both are goth-themed wrestlers with a connection to the afterlife who have been known to carry pet birds (a vulture for the Deadman) into the ring with them. WWE's "2.21.11" vignettes set off a wave of internet speculation that Sting had finally signed with the company. As it turned out, the vignettes were hyping the return of the Undertaker, but to this day, nobody's sure if Undertaker's return was the initial plan or if negotiations with Sting fell through at the last minute and the vignettes were repurposed. For their part, TNA satirized the vignettes with one of their own, with the date "3.3.11", which made it painfully obvious that Sting was an off-brand Taker in their eyes and he would return to Impact on that date. In interviews done well after the fact, Sting hinted that WWE came about the closest it had came before 2014 to hiring him around that "2.21.11" timeframe. Big Show said that surfer Sting was WCW's equivalent to John Cena. Charismatic, Great with kids, did lots of charity, and well-respected in the locker room. However, he had better luck than Cena when it came to appealing to fans of all ages likely because he wasn't as overexposed as Cena was and would still lose his fair share of big matches during his prime.

As a result, Sting officially announced his retirement at his Hall of Fame induction. He would later reveal in 2017 that he is still medically capable of wrestling, but has decided to stay retired anyway. Subverted in 2020 when Sting came out of retirement to join All Elite Wrestling as the mentor for Darby Allin. He revealed he'd gotten the same kind of spinal repair surgery that had allowed Edge to come out of retirement after 9 years away from the ring and was cleared to wrestle again.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_2a02e5c9	type	Guile Hero
Sting (Wrestling) / int_2a02e5c9	comment	Guile Hero: Come the entry of Hulk Hogan into TNA, Sting was seen watching Hogan and Bischoff carefully up in the rafters on Day 1, which longtime fans instantly knew meant that Sting didn't trust them. A few weeks later, he finally made his move in the midst of the latest round of Hogan and Flair's feud at the time, assaulting Hogan with his bat even though that was technically the heel move. He spoke only in cryptic language and hints when later explaining his actions, knowing some of the fans would catch on, rather than shout what he knew/suspected from the rooftops and make himself look like the typical envious old-time bastard attacking the hot new toy in town. Not only did Hogan and Bischoff out themselves at BFG 10.10.10 as crooks, but EVERYONE Sting attacked over the last seven months leading up to it was either in on their conspiracy or being used. Sting's efforts ensured that the entire TNA roster would not be completely blindsided by the power grab and a line of resistance, however thin, would be there to stand against it when he and Kevin Nash walked, as both of their contracts were running out at the time. The dumbest man in wrestling certainly grew a brain in 2010. He came back in March (which seems to be a regular thing for him) of 2011 and defeated Immortal's "champion", Jeff Hardy for the World Heavyweight title (and retained in an infamous squash which even he thought was disgraceful) thanks to some aid from an anonymous network representative which turned out to be Mick Foley. Sting, his pal, and the face-turned Fortune basically foiled Immortal at every turn, despite Hogan's increasingly-hollow boasts that he now held full control of the company. Even Joker Sting was a work. After Mick was kayfabe fired and Sting got screwed out of the title, Obfuscating Insanity followed suit. The night of his rematch with Mr. Anderson, for example, five guys dressed as circus clowns (actually Kurt Angle and four members of Fourtune) ran interference on Immortal to ensure a fair bout. The implication being that he saw the interference coming and perfectly planned for it to work to his advantage, luring Immortal's members into a trap and subduing them along with Anderson. Other highlights include pretending the Network put him in charge in order to get Immortal to go along with matches that were entirely out of their liking, including an Anderson vs. Angle steel cage match with Fortune at ringside, and working Ric Flair into practically handing him his path to Hogan so effectively it caused fans to wonder whether Flair was acting as The Mole. Then there was the night he got Hogan to snap in front of the audience, which eventually led to Hogan's face turn as well as the end of any semblance of power for Immortal. For more details, see TNA. In four months since taking power as General Manager, the salty, no-nonsense veteran who rightly accused Hulk Hogan of protecting his favorites and engaged him through practically-clairvoyant psychological warfare that lasted almost two years, has now been reduced to a borderline bureaucrat trying to screw Bobby Roode for not embracing the kind of wrestling style he favorsâ€”and failing badly at it. Every 'inescapable situation' he put Roode in would prove to be pretty damn escapable: in fact, Roode utterly played Sting at Against All Odds into helping him beat Jeff Hardy to keep the belt. This was later shown to be another swerve, with Sting playing the ineffectual obstructionist in order to get Hogan back in the chair as an honest face so he could get back to taking an active role in the ring.

As time went on with TNA, red became one of his "official" colors, too. He would sometimes have traces of red in his makeup (especially Joker Sting), or on his ring gear. He had at least three different red trench coats off and on, but invariably always went back to black.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_4a852458	comment	Big Good: We begin in WCW circa 1990. Pre-Hogan, Sting was usually the #1 or #2 babyface depending on what Flair and/or Luger were doing at any given time, and was often the one to lead the charge against the top heels. He assembled a stable to stand Against the Four Horsemen in Summer 1990, and The Dangerous Alliance from late 1991-mid 1992. In 1993, he announced in front of a live audience that he had recruited a Mystery Man to help combat Sid Vicious—inadvertently triggering the most embarrassing moment in WCW history. After the nWo ran him out of town on a rail, Sting returned and formed his own splinter group in 1998: nWo Wolfpac, an admission that the "babyfaces" of yesteryear were inept clowns who couldn't fight modern heels on even terms. Although he wasn't successful at beating the nWo (it was Bischoff's and Hogan's show, after all), he did fracture it by convincing Savage and other wrestlers to align with him. Previously, Sting was supposed to be a rallying force of babyfaces against the nWo, but the stupid finish at Starrcade '97 completely scuttled that. He helped to organize the Main Event Mafia because he felt the younger guys in TNA were getting too disrespectful. From the very start, he expected most of its members to eventually betray him, but at the end of the day, his uncompromising beliefs inspired the younger guys to accept his help. He left after the Bound for Glory main event in 2009, in which new world champion AJ Styles beat him to retain the title and then gave him the floor as a sign of ultimate respect. With Sting's mission being what the Mafia accomplished all along and Kurt Angle's maniacal ambition instead being all but abandoned, it was Sting who had the stroke to years later be able to call on the Mafia as a unifying banner to serve as the Good Counterpart to the Aces & Eights.

Just by looking at the two Stings together◊, it's hard to believe it's the same person. Even weirder to think that Sting changed his look because the nWo wheeled out an imposter (Jeff Farmer) to drum up audience support. The ultimate irony is that Fake Sting immediately changed his makeup and wardrobe once he saw Crow Sting, making smarks wonder aloud why Sting hadn't simply gone sans fards.

("We want Sting!" chants could be heard while Farmer was in the match). Not only was Jeff Farmer noticeably larger than Steve Borden, but his movements were slower and more sluggish and his Stinger Splash was way off. Lampshaded by Tony Schiavone when the real Sting eventually did come out: "There's no questioning the elevation of those Stinger Splashes! That is Sting!" When Crow Sting first came out to destroy nWo Sting, the nWo didn't initially recognize him until he started doing most of his signature moves. After witnessing him go to work Kevin Nash admitted nWo Sting was a bogus impostor, even though it was already obvious at that point.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_9f80e1da	comment	For some weird reason, there are tons of comparisons between Sting and The Undertaker. Both are goth-themed wrestlers with a connection to the afterlife who have been known to carry pet birds (a vulture for the Deadman) into the ring with them. WWE's "2.21.11" vignettes set off a wave of internet speculation that Sting had finally signed with the company. As it turned out, the vignettes were hyping the return of the Undertaker, but to this day, nobody's sure if Undertaker's return was the initial plan or if negotiations with Sting fell through at the last minute and the vignettes were repurposed. For their part, TNA satirized the vignettes with one of their own, with the date "3.3.11", which made it painfully obvious that Sting was an off-brand Taker in their eyes and he would return to Impact on that date. In interviews done well after the fact, Sting hinted that WWE came about the closest it had came before 2014 to hiring him around that "2.21.11" timeframe.

In late '96, Sting would add the Scorpion Death Drop, an inverted DDT, to his moveset, which would become his primary finisher in his later years.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_ae3d6438	comment	Deadpan Snarker: This became increasingly apparent in late-era WCW. In late 1999, Lex Luger was using a can of mace as a weapon. During the Sting-Luger match at WCW Starrcade 99, Luger's valet Miss Elizabeth tried to interfere by spraying the mace — but it turned out to be filled with Silly String. During his stint at TNA he once hid underneath a mask to ambush Rob Van Dam. What kind of mask? A Sting one. He'd used the same tactic on the October 13, 1997 WCW Monday Nitro, when the nWo were suddenly swarmed by people leaping into the ring in Sting masks, getting beaten up and thrown out. Finally, Sting himself, also in a Sting mask, entered the ring. Buff Bagwell punched him and Sting no-sold it, thus confirming it was the real guy. He gave Bagwell the Scorpion Deathdrop and unmasked, sending a panicked Hogan and the nWo running for their lives.

WCW tried turning him heel in 1999, and the fans completely no-sold the turn, cheering Sting over all the babyfaces and booing everyone who tried to "bring him to justice". After a month or two they just dropped the angle, re-turned him face and pretended it never happened. During his Main Event Mafia run, Sting attacked fan favorites Samoa Joe and AJ Styles and even then only got mixed reactions. He did not participate in any Mafia beatdowns and still, for the most part, acted like a face. He underwent another Face-Heel Turn in 2010 after attacking Hulk Hogan on the first Monday night edition of TNA Impact. It lasted for about ten months, and he only turned face because Hogan himself turned heel... (This appears to have been an Author's Saving Throw, since it is obvious that Sting is too unconvincing as a heel.)

May have started going right backwards again, though, with his angle with Bobby Roode since becoming the Impact Wrestling GM. Then he led TNA in declaring a man champion in the fight against Aces & Eights who turned out to be their leader.

A steel chair had been set up in the ring. Sting apparently forgot it was there, and went to give Roode the Scorpion Death Drop—with the chair right behind him! He ended up smacking the back of his head on the seat of the chair, knocking himself out and allowing Roode to pin him for the three. How countless fans see his WWE run. His debut match (against Triple H at WrestleMania 31) devolved into yet another "WWE vs. WCW"-fest, and he (and, by extension, his fellow WCW alumni) lost on top of it. And while he was booked to win his next match (against Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions 2015) as compensation, a Career-Ending Injury forced him to lose that too — meaning that his whole WWE run and final in-ring moments were spent as a Jobber. At least he was paid a truckload.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_e1bd7a4e	comment	Come the entry of Hulk Hogan into TNA, Sting was seen watching Hogan and Bischoff carefully up in the rafters on Day 1, which longtime fans instantly knew meant that Sting didn't trust them. A few weeks later, he finally made his move in the midst of the latest round of Hogan and Flair's feud at the time, assaulting Hogan with his bat even though that was technically the heel move. He spoke only in cryptic language and hints when later explaining his actions, knowing some of the fans would catch on, rather than shout what he knew/suspected from the rooftops and make himself look like the typical envious old-time bastard attacking the hot new toy in town. Not only did Hogan and Bischoff out themselves at BFG 10.10.10 as crooks, but EVERYONE Sting attacked over the last seven months leading up to it was either in on their conspiracy or being used. Sting's efforts ensured that the entire TNA roster would not be completely blindsided by the power grab and a line of resistance, however thin, would be there to stand against it when he and Kevin Nash walked, as both of their contracts were running out at the time. The dumbest man in wrestling certainly grew a brain in 2010.

The nWo honchos rolled in and offered Sting an opportunity to "be The Man, be the Leader" in their organization. Sting gave a Delphic response, as if weighing his options, then dropped the mic and vanished. From that night onward, he started wearing the familiar corpse makeup, rarely spoke, and haunted the rafters like a Phantom. The (kayfabe) reason for all these theatrics—though not outright stated—was Sting couldn't challenge the nWo directly, and wanted to con a few of them into joining him first. That was pretty much his schtick ever since.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_e43c66bd	comment	Art Evolution: When he first debuted on Nitro wearing the "Crow" facepaint, it looked almost exactly like his old facepaint, only solid white. Pretty soon it was modeled on the film version down to the last detail, apart from a big, lawyer-friendly frown (instead of Lee's Glasgow Smile). As time wore on, it became substantially different; for instance, the chin stripe allowed Borden to grow out a soul patch. The familiar all-white look that is most closely associated with Sting was first sported by him on the October 21, 1996, episode of WCW Monday Nitro; in the beginning, the paint actually evoked The Ultimate Warrior (there's actually an explanation for this: both Sting and Ultimate Warrior were buddies when they began in the business and they soon learned that painting their faces was cheaper than getting masks. The designs, supposedly, where usually improvised on the spot), as it appeared to be two wing-shaped white splotches covering each half of his face. This look soon transitioned to a uniform whiteness with black eyes and black lips, and gradually became scarier as the black streaks emanating from Sting's eyes multiplied, grew thicker and longer and more thorn-like, until they were almost more prominent than the whiteface itself. After going to TNA in 2006, Sting would occassionally add red streaks to the black and white in his major matches. In 2011, Sting's makeup became a less monochromatic hodgepodge of black and red interlocking streaks on a white canvas, thus brilliantly evoking both the colorful pre-1996 look and the demonic "Wolfpac" makeup. However, it soon took on a "Joker" appearance which (along with his panto behavior) didn't particularly go over with fans. In AEW, he added black lines around the edges of the white paint, along with occasionally adding designs from Darby Allin's face paint on half of his face.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: Wolfpac Sting was a throwback to the cocky, goofy, early-90s peroxide Sting. His post-Wolfpac Crow persona carried that over as well. A straighter example is when Sting wrestled Jeff Jarrett at TNA's Bound For Glory in 2006 for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. He wrestled shirtless and wore a jacket like Surfer Sting, had the hair and facepaint of Crow Sting (with some Surfer Sting designs mixed in with it) and his tights were red and black, the colors he wore during his time with the nWo Wolfpac.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_e4e80f5f	type	Greater Need Than Mine
Sting (Wrestling) / int_e4e80f5f	comment	Greater Need Than Mine: Nikita Koloff had returned to WCW at WrestleWar 91 and attacked WCW United States Heavyweight Champion Lex Luger following his successful title defense against Dan Spivey, still angry about a loss to Luger from back in 1987. During the Sting/Luger-Steiner Brothers match at WCW SuperBrawl, Koloff, who had squashed Tommy Rich earlier that night, ran down to the ring with his Russian chain around his arm to attack Luger. Sting pushed Luger out of the way and took the shot himself. Sting would feud with Koloff for the next few months until Koloff disappeared again, with Luger going on to win the WCW World Heavyweight Title at the disastrous WCW Great American Bash 91 PPV. During the War Games between Sting's Squadron (Sting/Koloff/Ricky Steamboat/Dustin Rhodes/Barry Windham) and the Dangerous Alliance (Rick Rude/"Stunning" Steve Austin/Arn Anderson/Bobby Eaton/Larry Zbyszko) at WCW WrestleWar 92, Koloff appeared to be arguing with Sting about something, but then pushed Sting out of the way and, to quote Jim Ross, "took the bullet from Anderson and Austin" himself.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_ed84457a	comment	Consummate Professional: Sting is often noted to be a company man and incredibly professional. He stuck with WCW to the very end and went with every stupid angle they thought of with minimal protest. He even refused to shoot on and seriously injure a stoned Jeff Hardy at Victory Road 2011 even though the fans wouldn't have held it against him at all and would be every bit as livid as he was once they found out why. Instead, he gave Hardy a few stiff shots and then forcibly pinned him as soon as possible to prevent Hardy from injuring anyone. That being said, the Hardy situation was so asinine that Sting didn't hesitate to agree with a fan that it was complete bullshit while he was still on camera.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_f53e219c	comment	Nominal Villain: While Sting was a baby face for his entire TNA run, he was a nominal heel while leading the Main Event Mafia, which was a de facto heel stable due every other wrestling in the group being a heel and Sting doing nothing to reign them in. He tried, verbally, sometimes, and did not engage in cheating or ambushes himself, but this only resulted in Kurt Angle kicking Sting out for not being evil enough and taking control of the group. However, the Main Event Mafia still became de facto baby faces due to increasing friction with another Power Stable, World Elite. In the end, Angle saw the wisdom in Sting's words and pulled a Heelâ€“Face Turn.

Farmer's bogus Sting was quite long-lived, lasting 3 years in WCW, off and on. He even competed under the gimmick independently well into the early 2000s until his retirement.

Sting (Wrestling) / int_f97b5d33	comment	After the nWo ran him out of town on a rail, Sting returned and formed his own splinter group in 1998: nWo Wolfpac, an admission that the "babyfaces" of yesteryear were inept clowns who couldn't fight modern heels on even terms. Although he wasn't successful at beating the nWo (it was Bischoff's and Hogan's show, after all), he did fracture it by convincing Savage and other wrestlers to align with him. Previously, Sting was supposed to be a rallying force of babyfaces against the nWo, but the stupid finish at Starrcade '97 completely scuttled that.

But after aborting a match in 90 seconds because his opponent, Jeff Hardy, turned up intoxicated, he had little choice but to flatten Hardy and then loudly agree with fans that the match was bullshit. When STING is the one openly badmouthing your company, something has gone horribly wrong. This was right after he turned down wrestling 'Taker at WrestleMania 27. His anger is justified.
