12 Things You Didn't Know About Sting 

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 and Luger was always my favorite of his tag partners.

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

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.

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.

"IT.S STING!!" 🦂

Rick Steiner & Sting in the UWF.

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

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

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

I will always get hyped for the stinger.

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.

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

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)

Sting tag team with Booker T aka Stang was lit

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

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...

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

Don't u ever call Ready to Rumble a mess

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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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!

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. 😂

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?

Everyone had the sting galoob figure!

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

He has been In some "Pure flicks" kinda funy

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.

1:10 Vampiro 😊

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

2:56 Also home of SuperBrawl 4 and 3 Nitros

So glad I was at Revolution 🎉

Sting was the original American Badass lol

I remember when he was lead singer of The Police.

Damion priest on walker Texas ranger also

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.

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

Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert

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

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.

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

Greatest ever.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Sting and luger was awesome!!!!!

Sting also teamed with Rick Steiner

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

KEWLLLLLLLLLL❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

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.

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

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

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 and Robocop

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

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 💯🙏☝️🏆🇺🇸🔥

Ready to rumble was a good movie

Darby allen

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

Stiiiiiiiiing

Sting rules 🤘🏻🇺🇸☘️⚡️⚡️

Ultimate warrior

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

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.

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

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.

RoboCop

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

Davey boy Smith

🎉

NWA tag team champs

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

Sting is the icon True 🦂🦂🦂

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

Darby allin

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

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

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!!!!!!

Did you know his a singer

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

isKenny Ameo ok

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

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

Who's stIng?

Much respect to Sting for being loyal to WCW. HOWEVER... By 1999, he'd pretty much done all he could do in the company. Not to mention how Bischoff either allowed Hogan, or collaborated with Hogan to sabotage the 1997 Starrcade main event. He had EVERY right to go to WWF once he was legally able to do so. I would've creamed my 14-year old pants if he'd feuded with the late 1999 heel DX. The fact that he could've printed money if he'd had a program with ministry/satanic Undertaker goes without saying.

There are channels on RU-vid that have over a million viewers and not once did they ask anyone to like, comment, or subscribe, let alone interrupt their presentation to remind us to do those things. It's 2024. We know how RU-vid works. Give it a break once in a while and ask yourselves why this video has over 4000 views with only 345 likes.

So this things we didn't know is for who? People who've watched wrestling for a cup of coffee?

This guy is such an annoying narrator.

"Being able to hang with the young bucks" is where i knew this video was a dumpster 🔥
