Rank a Wrestler #18 - Sting
![]() Sting Yes, that's right. Jimmy Cones is on vacation and left me with this info. And today, on his behalf, I give to you all to evaluate none other than the Stinger himself. (This was JC's choice, btw, not mine...) So rank him and discuss why you ranked him as you did.

Just so everyone knows I forgot to get the updated rankings to him before I left
I'm going to give sting a 9 because he was a tremendous worker in his hay-day and because he's done so much without help from vince. |

Yeah, I'll give him a 9 as well. Amazing in WCW, and still has been pretty solid, from what I've seen of his work, in TNA. As far as I'm concerned, he's more than earned it.

An 8. Pretty solid all round but cant work as a heel IMO.

I gave him a 10, maybe I'm biased because he is my all time favorite wrestler. However, I think he has great technical skill, great brawling/high-flying ability, charismatic. I think he has the best look of any wrestler, I know part of his gimmick is from the Crow, but his feud with the nWo is the reason for WCW's domination over WWE for most of those 84 weeks. It is still amazing how he is able to put on great matches with men half his age like AJ Styles. On a sidenote, I am looking forward to seeing what Sting and Kevin Nash are going to do against Hogan and Bischoff.

Sting was a great babyface, a terrible heel and a solid 8.

A 9 for sure...closer to a 9.6 though.Sting IS an icon in this sport,and the ONLY wrestler of his caliber that i can think of that's never been in wwe.That's what i think his real legacy is in this buisness.He's the one that didn't go to stamford.Some of his matches are the best I've ever seen.Foley/vader/flair/him and dusty vs. the road warriors,and who can forget sting vs. the great muta.For those who would have liked to see him in wwe,here's a window in to what could have been...

I'd give Sting a 9. Not quite at the highest level to get a 10, but his WCW days were amazing!
The guy is a legend in professional wrestling, and the fact he has achived this status without ever being in the WWE is a testament to how good he is. |

I gave him a 7. I have always thought was overrated by everyone - Not just the IWC.
I have liked a lot of his work but honestly never thought he was overly special. Especially now in his twilight years I can barely stand anything he does. |

Can't give him anything lower than an 8 he's such a solid worker.

I will go with seven because i think Sting still has it. His matches with Angle,Joe,Styles, Abyss, Christian, and even "Mr. Ego" Jeff Jarrett were pretty good.

8, and I think it'd be lower if not for his "faux crow" gimmick being so huge. But it was, and he helped define WCW at the time, in part because of the gimmick and in part because of his loyalty.

8, if he guy kept his surfer gimmick he'd go down the toilet, the crow gimmick put him over big time in the 90's and made him unstoppable, reason for 8 is because he's a hard working, loyal and a great all-rounder.

8.5 (rounded to a 9)..... would be a 10 if he could have gotten over as a heel.....

I'm gonna give him an eight just because I didn't really grow up watching NWA/WCW so I don't have a lot of "nostaglia" for the Stinger.
I liked the big feud with Hogan, but it ended up being a total disappointment because Sting didn't wrestle for so long he was out of shape. |

I gave him a 9.
*He always had a ton of charisma and in-ring ability *He defeated Ric Flair for the NWA Championship, which was epic and unforgettable *He really was the "franchise" of WCW and carried that company on his back for a number of years *He had the Match of the Year in '91 when he and Luger faced the Steiners at the first SuperBrawl ppv *He was involved in what may have been the most anticipated match in WCW history: Hogan vs. Sting at Starrcarde ‘97 *His feuds with Flair and the Four Horsemen, Luger, Vader, Foley, Muta, Rude, Hart, Hogan and the other NWO members were some of the greatest feuds of all time *He was the only wrestler to win Pro Wrestling Illustrated's "Most Popular Wrestler of the Year" award four times |
