12 Things You Didn't Know About Sting 

Sting and Luger was always my favorite of his tag partners.

I almost expect a resurgence of Chuck Norris jokes but with Sting instead. Like... When Sting walks through the rain. He doesn't get wet. The rain gets Stung.

Sting is the main and biggest reason why I became a wrestling fan as a kid. His early matches with blonde hair and colourful tights and moves blew me away Long Live the ICON STING

you forgot his most famous pre-WCW fame tag team with Rick Steiner (before he'd join scott in the The Steiner Brothers) in the UWF

"IT.S STING!!" 🦂

I'll forever be mad at Vince for how he treated WCW tops stars in 2001. We could have had Sting v Undertaker at WrestleMania 2002.

I will always get hyped for the stinger.

If you didn't know this, it must be your first day as a wrestling fan.

Rick Steiner & Sting in the UWF.

Didnt watch the stinger much when i was a kid but i always knew of him. Glad i was able to see his actual retirement about 30 minutes from where i live

Darby said in an interview today that Stings son Stephen is now training to wrestle. (The one who wore the Wolfpack paint at sting’s retirement match and did those super high stinger splashes)

Matt Damon was actually the third member with Warrior and Sting as the Ragin’ Bodacious Bros

Sting did wrestle Stone Cold Steve Austin, but he did in WCW as Stunning Steve Austin ,look it up .

Another fun fact that wasn’t mentioned: Sting was also a member of The Four Horsemen

Sting tag team with Booker T aka Stang was lit

He also met the other sting the musician/lead singer of the band the police 1:20 that's the other guy in this photograph.

Don't u ever call Ready to Rumble a mess

Black Crew Cut, No Paint Heel Sting would have been interesting... and on the level of Ripple Effects think of what that does to WCW's Booking for the next two years...

He will always be my favorite! I'm so happy I got to attend Revolution with my son!

You forgot the video for Islander's "Crazy Crazy World"

Favourite tag partner is Davey Boy Smith (loved Davey). During that period, those vignettes from the beach involding Sid and Vader were hilarious lol.

Honestly, I never wanted to see Sting bs 'Taker. I wanted to see Sting and 'Taker vs everyone else. Kane was great, but Sting was perfect to be 'Taker's in-ring other half. Their styles would have been perfectly complimentary, and Sting's faster pace and technical move set would have been the perfect balance to 'Taker's slower, more power based arsenal. Had they paired, and added Kane as a thord, they would have had the makings of an absolutely bonkers faction/stable.

I remember when sting started wrestling. Missy Hyatt and Eddie Gilbert brought sting age 18 and Rick Steiner age 19 in 1985 to original NWA and not long after they came near tag team champs.

Ready to Rumble was a damn good movie. Not a “mess”.

I remember watching sting when wcw first started when the iron shiek was in wcw with his wooden work out things

If it wasn't for Sting, I probably wouldn't of ever cared about wrestling. It was always on and I never paid attention. Then WCW vs NWO Revenge came out, and the intro video to the game got my attention!

0:50 I think "Penultimate Warrior" is more fitting in this case. 😂

it's Robocop, obviously, that's my favorite partner of Sting

I respect the fact that Sting didn't want to make the jump when WCW ended because he most likely would have been buried just like he was when he finally did show up. I can only imagine the amazing matches and interactions he could have had, had he been a part of the Invasion and they actually used him properly.

I knew about them all but the music video appearance in 89. Still a neat list

Sting is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and one of my favorite wrestlers as well.

If Sting had gone to wwe right away he would have been jobbed out to Taker at Wrestlemania, HHH on PPV, and pretty much anybody else that was a big wwe name the.n. Not like he went there and got jobbed out to HHH at WM anyway, right?

Ric Flair simply because while teaming up with Sting he did a double turn "during the f**king match" and the best part Sting actually believed that Ric won't betray him despite the writing being inevitable....... because it's Ric Flair

I loved when Sting & Roseanne sang the national anthem together

My favorite tag team partner for Sting will always be Lex Luger.

1:10 Vampiro 😊

sting did a commercial once for a wcw credit card "because money is no object." so he's like the million dollar man and spent wcw money because again money is no object. 😂

Sting wasn't the first choice for the lead role in Shutterspeed. The film went through a rough development over a few years. The original plot depicted the main protagonist meeting and falling for a woman named Betsy. They started dating right away and slept together. But the morning after, the protagonist was alone and went to Betsy's place to see her, only to be met by an old woman, who told him Betsy had been dead for 10 years. So he went on a journey to track her down and solve this mystery. Long before Sting got the lead role in Shutterspeed, Italian-American Actor Joey Tribbiani was cast as the main protagonist. But the money wasn't coming in, and by the time Tribbiani showed up on set, production had to close down, and he was left in the Las Vegas Desert.

He has been In some "Pure flicks" kinda funy

Everyone had the sting galoob figure!

I Always Wondered If The Wrestler Sting Knew or Met The Singer Sting.. Now I Know, Pretty Awesome I Would Say .

Sting wore a bandanna? That's insane I never knew that.

Number 12 just proves that Sting is one of the most legendary tag wrestlers ever. And yeah his WWE run wasn't the best but even there he had tag bouts with the likes of John Cena. And recency bias my favourite tag partner of Sting is Darby Allin.

So glad I was at Revolution 🎉

2:56 Also home of SuperBrawl 4 and 3 Nitros

Sting was the original American Badass lol

We all know that wrestling match between sting and triple h should have ended with sting winning. The writers mainly Vince McMahon probably wanted to have one last day at their biggest competition ever and if there was anybody that was deserving of a big victory in the eyes of the WCW fans it should have been sting

I can seriously imagine Crow Sting being nuclear over as an NWO leader.. In fanfiction :D

KEWLLLLLLLLLL❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert

Muta is my favorite Sting tag partner. Just like Muta.

Greatest ever.

Sting would have been booked to go over taker I suspect making Vince not want to do it.

I remember when he was lead singer of The Police.

Damion priest on walker Texas ranger also

I been watching wrestling for a very long time. So I know when I saw him brought to og NWA. And what was said. I don't know if the announcers was just lying or not but that is the age the announcers had announced in 1985.

❤ Hey BUDDY, OFCOURSE The #1 partner of STINGER was with BLADE RUNNERS, ( ROCK) ULTIMATE WARRIOR. ,,, 🎉🎉

If Sting had joined the nWo, they would've been even BIGGER than they were

10:34 SMH that's old C U Next Tuesday hated WCW so much that winning everything wasn't enough he had to buy their workers just to humiliate them and cost him money

If things would have gone differently, would we have gotten Crow Hulk Hogan or Cro-gan?

kinda wish Sting did give WWE a big run. but i know that Sting did not want to sign a contract with WWE. WWE offered alot of money for Sting to sign a contract with WWE. but Sting did not do it. because he wanted to remain a free agent too sign on to any other independent circuit other then WWE.

Sting also teamed with Rick Steiner

Sting and luger was awesome!!!!!

I like to think that Sting didn't beat up that child for the money in the Sprite advert, I want to believe that Sting kicked seven shades of shit out of him because it was both easy and fun. The money was just a little bonus.

All I know about sting is He is a BMF GOAT!!!!!!!!!

imagine Triple h takes over when Sting debut. His run would of been way better

The ultimate warrior

Stiiiiiiiiing

Darby allen

Ready to rumble was a good movie

By the way still looks good at that age after all those wars with the best 🏆☝️💯🦂🦂🦂🇺🇸💯💯🏆🏆😎😎

Sting does not have a stinger even though his name suggests he might actually sting...

Sting and Robocop

Ultimate warrior

My favorite wrestler of all time love everything fucking things that man endure in and thru the business 💯👍☝️☝️😎🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🤙🏆🏆🏆 straight up one of the original goats any argument screw off 🦂🦂🦂 Sting always 💯🙏☝️🏆🇺🇸🔥

Sting rules 🤘🏻🇺🇸☘️⚡️⚡️

RoboCop

Steve Borden is 1-0 vs Marc Calloway - LOOK IT UP!!!

NWA tag team champs

His WWE run was so bad, they had the Icon Sting & managed to mess it up. He should’ve won at WM against Triple H & definitely should’ve beat Seth for the WWE title at Night of Champions.

If you ever watched sting in the 90's you followed his career and knew this stuff. Sorry what culture but you get a lot of stuff wrong and then state the obvious on the correct stuff.

We can sum up Sting's WWE tenure in one phrase: Vince was a petty bitch. Given how he turned the product around, I'm pretty damn confident that if Hunter had been charge back then, Sting would've been treated a helluva lot better. Sting was supposed to win Clash of Champions to make up for Wrestlemania but after the neck injury, Seth had to take the win. dun know about anyone else but Sting's a lot more forgiving and nonchalant about his WWE run than the rest of us, TBH. Darby Allin's my favorite of Sting's tag partners. Those two made magic and you can thank Darby for getting Sting into the ring on camera because he knew Sting could still go in front of a live audience at a time when they weren't sure if he could.

Davey boy Smith

Sting is the icon True 🦂🦂🦂

🎉

Honestly I can say he is my fav wrestler. WWE f'ed up with Sting.

By wwe fans? Sting was great with the us title but I would say Luger was best US Champ

RE #4 - the phrase is "Halls of Fame" not hall of fames🙄

isKenny Ameo ok

I am so glad Sting wasn’t the leader of the NWO. Hogan needed to be heel

As soon as you said "Stiiiiiiiiiiing", I paused the video to tell you that you got my view, but I went no further than ten seconds. You guys can try to be something at any time..

Darby allin

I actually think Sting and Luger were a highly underrated tag team and haven't really got the credit they deserve.

Everyone knew number, not really a good bombshell to end on

Sting is the GOAT!!!!! Screw you for not knowing that. Rollins wasn't safe with Sting and injured his neck and put him out of wrestling. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!!!

Wwe having hhh going over 🦂 at wrestle mania was the worse thing ever Vince believe that no one would want to see the undertaker 🪦 vs sting 🦂 match

Did you know his a singer

In my opinion 1 in top 10 kept it real as the stinger just lick hulkamania and the woooooooooo undertaker dead man the rock mick Foley the stinger bottom line

Who's stIng?

again vince the genius was so jeleous of WCW wrestlers that he bungled that invasion multi million dollar angle and almost killed sting i'm glad he left the WWE er f he would have gotten himself killed
