The WCW Career of Sting: 1985 - 1996

Wrestling Bios Presents - The WCW Career of Sting : 1985 - 1996

During the active years of WCW on television, there was no one more popular than Sting. Through the years, Steve Borden stayed loyal to World Championship Wrestling, becoming a huge, succesful and popular fan favourite. If the WWE had Hulk Hogan during the late 80s and early 90s, then WCW had Sting.

Sting's rise to fame began in 1985 when he started his wrestling career. Teaming up with Jim Hellwig, Steve Borden began his wrestling career in a tag team with the future "Ultimate Warrior" but, as a team, Hellwig and Borden didn't get very far. When his Blade Runner team mate left to work in the Dallas area, Sting stayed in the UWF which was then eventually purchased by Jim Crockett promotions.

Within months, Sting became a huge superstar within JCP. Thanks to booker Dusty Rhodes giving Sting a chance, Steve Borden was able to work in some high calibre matches and put on some show stealing perfomances. His match against Ric Flair at the very first Clash of the Champions show cemented him as the next big thing in WCW. From that night, Sting would go on to win multiple titles in WCW and, in the end, fans would come to recognize Sting as "The Icon" in WCW.

This mini documentary from Wrestling Bios takes a look at Sting's WCW Career from 1985 to 1996. During this time period, Sting would be remembered as "Surfer Sting", the gimmick he had before portraying his "Crow Sting" character.
