I only saw him in TNA but he was still good there despite being in his mid 40s. Definitely one of the best ever, but for someone that was the most popular wrestler for a number of years in the mid 90s, it feels like he's less known or less spoken of compared to guys like Stone Cold or even WCW's own Goldberg. Then again, probably because Sting didn't appear in WWE till 2015, whereas every other WCW guy went to WWE for at least a little while and were more relevant in the minds of the big audience. Also Chris Jericho is another name brought up for his versatility and capability for reinventing himself like Sting but Y2J has one over Sting in that he could be a good face and a good heel. Sting is great but maybe because he's too likable, he could never be a good heel, always cheered. Not too bad though, I still prefer Sting over Jericho.

>>144325 (OP) Sting is one of the very few people that can put the crow facepaint and look like a badass instead of a complete jackass like almost everyone else.

>>144325 (OP) Incorrect, I love Sting and he should have been pushed harder by WcW, but in the end eddie Guerrero, rey mysterio, or chris Benoit were probably better, more versatile, and certainly more entertaining.

>>147196 Lying ass cocksucker. Steve Borden could have had a shoot with any of them and totally destroyed those drug addled fools. All of whom are now dead you'll note. Sting was the best of his era.

He's my favorite american wrestler but objectively speaking he did a little of everything but wasn't great at anything particularky. He was very athletic during his surfer gimmick. After, not so much. Not very technical either and he was carried on his best ever matches by the likes of Flair. He is just a better Hogan wrestling wise. And the biggest babyface ever, I think. Nobody would ever boo him.

>>144325 (OP) A big what if scenario for me that is, if sting joined the wwe right after the invasion angle ending and never joined tna, would've he been buried or would he be one of the few wcw stars that got big on wwe as well? Stone cold and the rock were on the way out and vince was desperate for another big star.

The best wrestler full stop is Kurt Angle

Danielson is my GOAT but Sting is undeniable. The man made no-selling a signature move that never got stale, he made the switch from Surfer to Crow extremely smoothly, he gave a shit even during WCW & TNA's most fucked up days, and in his last years he decided to finally start punching his bump card and go crazy in AEW. His retirement match was probably last year's MOTY and arguably the best retirement match ever.

>>150559 His team with Darby works on another level, in that no matter what kind of shit was going on, they'd always put out dimes. Sting could have wrestled more actively in his AEW run, but he paced himself perfectly, which let him do these insane spots and made them even more impactful.

>>150510 This. Anyone disagreeing is lying or delusional
