ICON | The Sting Story (Full Career Documentary) 

Thanks for watching, what wrestler should we cover in the next video? Also, make sure to drop a like to help get the video picked up by RU-vid’s algorithm 💪🏻👊🏻🤘🏻👍🏻

Sting is 63 years old, but you wouldn’t really know it with some of the stuff he’s doing in AEW. A legend through and through no doubt.

WWE lost a great opportunity with sting. Sting is one of the greatest examples of a wrestler who does not need to be in WWE to win fans over. His legacy will be remembered by all wrestling fans.....

Began watching Sting before I was even 10 years old. I'll turn 41 this year and he's still going. Thanks for everything Sting!

Sting still keeping the face paint alive when it’s died off for everyone else decades upon decades ago is something you gotta give the man credit for

Sting vs The Undertaker would have sold out an entire arena 15-20 years ago.

Sting was my favourite growing up. That rivalry with Hollywood Hogan was legendary. Use to stay up late to watch WCW

Sting has always been one of my favorite wrestlers. He has done so much for the business for more than 30 years. I have so much respect for him.

I finally got a chance to meet him in person recently (and get my photo with him in full makeup and costume!) and he was a really down-to-earth guy to his fans. Sting isn't the type to B.S. about how he feels about the industry and he constantly gave off the vibe that he was tired with everything the entire time he was at the con. Still, he also tried to get as many questions answered as he could so I can say that he still cares about his fans. Absolutely fantastic guy!

Major props to Sting for seeing what WWE did to others like himself and choosing to go a different direction rather than ruin what he had.

WCW in 1997 is my favorite year in wrestling, Sting was like Batman coming out of the dark sky to beat the shit out of the NWO, it was great story telling and wrestling combined, I had been a surfer sting fan as a little kid too, these are days that are never coming back, so I'm grateful for living them at the time.

When I saw him on TV in the 80s he just was amazing to watch. His fights against the 4 horsemen were some of the best. The man was born in 59 and he is still going at it.

Crow sting was the best sting era ever. Dark observer of the entire scene and the perfect by product of that era. Thanks to Scott Hall.

Steve is a class act. One of the all time greats.

The reason why he will never die, & will forever draw attention & raise ratings is because he has what might be THE coolest character in all sports & entertainment, seriously, especially in these years, a character like the crow is everything a fan would wanna see .

Sting was always my favorite as a kid - "Man called Sting" is a top 5 entrance music ever.

The man, the myth, the legend, the icon, the eternal....STING.

Sting Will Still and ALWAYS BE A WRESTLING LEGEND!

Proper GOAT material. I've loved Sting since his TNA days and I'm so glad he signed with them for people like me, who were late to wrestling, to watch one of the greatest wrestlers out there.

Just Bring It! The Dwayne Johnson Story. Bang! The Diamond Dallas Page Story. Can you Dig it? The Booker T Story

Not giving fans Sting vs Undertaker was as tone deaf as getting Han, Luke, & Leah back and not letting them have a single scene together.

WCW Mount Rushmore: Sting, TNA Mount Rushmore: Sting & AEW Mount Rushmore: Sting

In a perfect world, Sting would've ended the streak and retired.

Sting had such a polished career. Besides wwe everywhere he’s been he had a great run.

Sting was, still is and always will be an absolute legend. Great video btw

A Sting vs. Taker cinematic match would have made WWE enough money to coast through covid. Let that sink in on how WWE rarely does what that fans or performers want regardless of the pay out.

I've always been a huge fan of Sting! This dude was a class act! He's an icon and survivor! His career outlasted a lot of the talents from that 80's and 90s! I couldn't wait to see him and that Scorpion move of his! What a wrestler and what a man!! I'm still a fan! He beat the odds! STING RULES!!!!😍😍😍😍

Sting shouldn't feel bad, WWE is great at killing amazing talent.

Sting was, is, and will likely always be my favorite wrestler of all time! He deserves way more respect than WWE showed him especially in his WrestleMania match...

The Stinger known as the man called Sting the franchise of WCW and now he's the icon... Sting is the greatest wrestler that been around for a long time 30 plus years and still around The Surfer Sting The Crow Sting The Wolf Pac Sting The Joker Sting how many times this character always reinvent himself he's still around in 2021 that's the greatest wrestler/character I ever seen in professional wrestler....

All of Stings characters were always bad ass but my favorite was "The Crow Sting" that Sting was epic.

Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of decisions that baffled me. But the one thing that, as a wrestling fan, I cannot “forgive” is HHH beating Sting at 31.

Me, until the day I die I'll always say that Sting is 1 of the GOAT legends in wrestling history. Me I'll always say that Sting is 1 of my most favourite wrestlers. I know that I'd love to meet him, but I know I never will.

i met Sting when i was 16 years old when NWA/WCW use to come to the pavillion in my hometown Chicago in 1986! me and my 2 cousins who are indy wrestlers Floyd and Beast we knew the guy who was head of the ring crew and we use to help put up the ring! Sting and i got to be friends still friends today! we see each other sometimes and its like old times! one of the best in the business!

Sting has been and always be my absolute hands down favorite wrestler. He the true GOAT if u ask me. Nobody comes close!

When everyone was talking about Austin and Rock i was talking about Sting.

Thank you for this! Sting is my all time favorite pro wrestler. He just had it all. I've always loved watching him wrestle and he has nailed every gimmick he ever had. A true class act who never buries anyone in interviews.

He was the reason I started watching wrestling. I would see a few shows year. It always ran shorter then Monday night football. Tuesday mornings were rough 🥴 I lived in Minneapolis and the Vikings had just got Randy Moss and the Timber wolves were all the hype with Kevin Garnet. The wild hockey team was new. Sports was great back then. I was popular late night radio DJ at kmoj and working as a full time firefighter 🧑🏿‍🚒 The 90’s was the shyt! Thanks for the memories!

Sting's career has always been an enigma to me. Started out his career wrestling with The Ultimate Warrior and even after Warrior's passed Sting is 63 and still going at it week in and week out on AEW at such a high level. It's like he's barely aged, has worked for every major promotion at some point, and has played so many unique versions of himself, nothing short of legendary. Just wish he won at WrestleMania "WOOO!"

Fav wrestler of all time. I know there's better wrestlers, but nothing I watch as an adult trumps my childhood fav

Sting's athletism is off the charts.

There is something about him, even before I watched him wrestle, I became a fan. His in ring personality and performance is truely ICONIC.

Sting was the reason I started watching wrestling. Only my 2nd favorite to 3:16

The Stingers always been my favorite stay strong Warrior

Great Video.. I'm still, after 30+ years, a Sting fan. And now he lives down the road from me.. a fan and a neighbor..... I'm never selling my house.

Sting has always been a big influence to me, no matter what direction his character goes in, i can adapt and follow right along with him

Yup. He wrestled again. It happened... & It was glorious!!

McMahon's decision to: - bury Sting at WM 31 - deny him the match of all matches with the Undertaker - deny him AGAIN the match of all matches with the Undertaker is why Sting waited as long as he did to get to the WWE in the first place. He knew the WWE would fuq his character, and he was proven right on more than one occasion. I don't blame him at all for going to AEW, who clearly know what to do with his character. McMahon would've had the buyrate to end all other buyrates ever if he had only chosen to put Sting and Taker in a match at WM (or pretty much any other PPV). They could've milked that storyline for well over a year to build as much hype as the world could stand and then delivered on it putting them in the ring for a match. Instead, he blew it all to Hell more than once. Vince is poison. His product has never been worse. Thousands are flocking to AEW now as a result. His buyrates are trash. His shows are plummeting. He needs to step the Hell down and let someone else steer the ship before he hits the cliff that we can all see ahead. If anything, AEW's popularity won't be as much their own doing as much as it would be Vince burying his own show so bad that AEW benefits by default. Not saying that AEW doesn't deliver the goods...but their rise to the top as a contender would be as a direct result of Vince's decisions that lead to his own product becoming all but unwatchable. It's like watching the waning years of WCW all over again, just under a different banner. I can't recall the last RAW or Smackdown I watched. It's been THAT long. From a man who used to cancel all other plans on those nights to be in front of his TV to watch it live. I've refused sex to watch RAW live (no, watching it in DVR isn't "the same thing" dear...). Now you couldn't pay me to watch a show. My bro got me to watch a couple episodes of AEW and now I'm watching that instead and it looks amazing.

I'll never forgive WWE and Triple H for how they handled sting when he finally joined. For never giving us sting versus The undertaker. We didn't want to see HHH with him. It was a rivalry no one wanted. Bunch of petty nonsense making it a point to bury as many WCW guys as they could. The Monday night wars were long over and they literally had one job with sting. But Triple H never can resist being the biggest egomaniac around. He absolutely should have lost that WrestleMania match to Sting. And you didn't need the stupid NWO reunion angle either. HHH didn't need any more wins. It's pretty well known that he has been the booker for any match he's been involved in in about the past 10 years or so

Sting has been my favorite wrestler since the NWA days. The face paint, mic skills, and high energy was so cool to me as a kid. I remember his feuds with Nikita Koloff and Vader had me captivated every week. His Crow Era was great, but I still miss the Surfer Era.

Great was always my boys,Sting is one of the GOATS,and the most underrated pro wrestler to ever walk the square circle or the eight circle ring

I started watching wrestling when I was like 6 years old and I used to stay weekends at my grandparents house. My grandfather was a big Ric Flair and the four horsemen fan and used to watch it all the time, that's what got me into it, and sting was always my favorite. I don't really watch it anymore now that I'm 44 years old but I remember when sting first started back in the day. That's when wrestling was the shit!

An Icon is always an icon

Sting is one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time

It’s really sad how they did him in the end. He deserved better

Truly one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time I have watched almost his career in the wrestling business industry from WCW,WWE,TNA,,AEW also one of the most colorful characters in the business I have seen this man in so many great matches over his amazing and hall of fame career one of favorite moments of Stings WCW run was when he became the crow character I absolutely loved that his TNA was really great too he was such a great talker and a amazing performer in the ring truly one of the all-time greatest in this business even today at his age he is still doing a great job in AEW with storylines he always knows how too evolve his character which is why he has been around so long and had such a amazing career

One of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES!

STING knew that wwe wasn’t going to give him the spotlight he deserves, but he came to wwe due to fan popular demand.He didn’t let his fame go over his head, therefore he’s had an an amazing career path

Vince really missed a good match with Sting versus The Undertaker. It should have happened

Sting was one of the wrestlers who made me love TNA/IMPACT more than I should've and put on some of the best matches on that program. He's definitely on the Mt. Rushmore and I believe he could've had an iconic feud with the Undertaker in the early to mid 2000s if he wasn't signed to TNA and went to WWE.

Finally THE STORY OF THE ICON STING THANKS ALOT WRESTLE WITH ANDY ,great work truly appreciateable and did amaizing documentary

When Sting, went to the Crow gimmick it was all my friends and I talked about the next day. Man was that a trip. Team Stinger since day one.

Sting would’ve had some amazing matches with the stars of the Attitude Era

"THE ICON" my favourite wrestler of all time!!!!

First of all big compliment for this vid! Also it was an amazing job to squeeze in his entire career into 20 minutes without neglecting too much, I would appreciate a longer video which dives into his career with more detail. ;-)

Worked for different companies and stood tall and he is still wrestling in AEW. The GOAT!

I remember growing up watching wrestling with my grandmother and Sting was and has always been one of my favorite wrestlers ever!!! #TheIconSting!!! Keep up the great video's!!!

Sting is the best to ever do it, and probably always will be!

the crow is my favorite movie character thats probably the reason why sting is one of my favorite wrestler

Sting is, was & always be WCW! He never left! Never. The Icon is my favorite of all time.

nobody: Tony Schiavone: ITS STTTTTTTTTTTTTTTIINNNNNNNG

great video, missed those epic Sting Flair battles in the late 80s early 90s. I was a kid back then and was in awe of how great they were.

I loved Sting growing up. Huge part of why I tuned in to Nitro

Sting was always that guy I wish they brought to the WWF back in the day. WWF had most the good talent, and Sting was WCW powerhouse(among others)

Sting the only wrestling could turn heel and people still cheer for him in history in professional wrestling

I remember watching his matches back to the NWA days. Always was my favorite 😍😍

When Sting was with the Wolfpack, they were huge. There were red & black shirts & signs everywhere

Sting was and is my favorite wrestler....i remember watching him when he first started...i was like 6 years old

I always wandered why old school Surfer Sting and Ultimate Warrior had such similar face paint. Never knew they were a team.

One of those wrestlers who deserve more respect ✊👌🔥

Vince: "We give our fans what they want." Us: We want Sting vs Undertaker! Vince: "Nah pal"

Excellent breakdown of The Stinger. I was more engaged with this video than I am most videos I watch these days. You kept my attention. That's saying something, (considering I have ADHD). And no, it's not just because he's my favorite wrestler, (behind Jeff Hardy). It's also because your story-telling is on point, and the actual footage you put in the video was entrancing,(drew me in.) I was locked the whole time. Excellent video overall, my friend. Keep it up.😎👍

Ihope he gets the send off he deserves. AEW is catching WWE and fast. His wwe run was a let down. AEW hes been done right. Let Darby take his boots

WCW & WWE wars were legendary and the 2 stings, loved it

Sting would have been a very big draw in the World Wrestling Entertainment if given a chance to shine.

I'd say Sting is why I got into wrestling as a kid in the 80s. Growing up in MN in the twin cities maybe I didn't have much choice either, but he was the wrestler that caught my interest and became catalyst to my being a wrestling fan. I would watch him on TV while playing with my wrestling toys and would even ask my mom to paint my face like his on occasion. He was my hero throughout my youth and have been a fan of his ever since. He really is an Icon. 🦂

Always will love sting and he was a huge part of my childhood seeing him and Goldberg live in Charleston wv late 90s great memories

Sting is definitely one of the G.O.A.T.S

I love these documentaries, I’ve just finished 10. I wish this channel was around back in 09

Hogan, Sting, Flair, Austin, undertaker. Legends

The greatest of all time, The Stinger!!

I was 5. I’m 40 now. I found a vhs in dads truck with the case. I’d never seen anything like it in my life. I snuck it inside. Even tho dad wouldn’t have cared. And first round sting came out and I was a fan ever since. 35 years later. Another fan that sting is responsible for recruiting. Much love.

Sting = All Time Legend

I never knew of “Joker Sting” and for that I am thankful.

Sting vs the Great Muta were some of my favorite matches. Good timrs

Sting is the reason I started watching wrestling, he's the reason I had a buzz cut then grew mine long like him.

Hey Yo: The Scott Hall story

Sting was my intro into wrestling as a kid in the late 80's, he's the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always liked the Black Scorpion story line!

Sting would shatter the record for most tee shirts sold in a 24 hr period the night he debuted in AEW!
