A short history of the Stinger
Casting a dark aura of mystery with intimidating silence, dramatic entrances
and unpredictable alliances, Sting has kept fans and opponents off-balance.
This scorpion's attitude, forged from a friend's betrayal, is a stark
departure of the multi-colored face paint, bright ring attire and blond
coiffure of years ago. Now Sting is silent no more, ready to build upon his
reputation as the "franchise" of WCW.
This native of Venice Beach, California has been a major fan-favorite from
the beginning of his ring exploits with several "Wrestler of the Year" honors
to his credit. Matching popularity with ring success he has garnered WCW
World Heavyweight Championships, along with numerous other titles.
Before slamming opponents in the ring, he dunked basketballs in the
collegiate ranks, as well as smacked volleyballs and surfed on the California
coast. Sting also enjoys riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle, off-road
jeeps, golf and film acting. His first work was the 1998 independent release
The Real Reason; he also had roles in Hogan's television series Thunder In
Paradise. The home video Sting: Unmasked, a biography of his colorful career,
was #1 on the sports video list. His most fulfilling activity is working with
the Make-A-Wish and Starlight Foundations, which grant wishes to critically
ill children.
Although at times Sting has been a mystery, the immense enthusiasm of his
fans is no secret.
