Over the course of 20 years, Sting has become
a legend in professional wrestling. In 1988, Sting entered the wrestling
scene with NWA. He wore
bright colorful tights and face paint. At the first annual Clash of
the Champions, Sting wrestled Ric Flair to a sixty minute draw. The match would
make Sting's career. He would win his first World Title at The Great American Bash
1990 by beating Ric Flair. Throughout his career, He would feud with Ric Flair.
Together, they were the centerpieces of WCW.
In 1996, WCW would change forever. The
NWO/WCW feud would take over professional wrestling. WCW became the top
promotion in the world. During this time, Sting changed his persona. He became a
dark "crow" character. Sting wore only black and white. He kept this
persona for the next decade.
In 2001, WCW was
losing a substantial amount of money. The company was bought by the WWE. On the
last WCW Nitro show, Sting would wrestle Ric Flair for the last time. The match closed
a chapter on their feud. Ric Flair went to the WWE. Sting decided to retire and
focus on his ministry.
In 2006, Sting signed with TNA. At TNA's
Bound for Glory, Sting beat Jeff Jarrett for the World Title.
