Sting Biography
Sting started out as a tag team wrestler in California. He teamed with Jim Hellwig, also known as the Ultimate Warrior. The two were known as Power Team USA before changing their gimmick and attitude and becoming the heel Blade Runners. This team terrorized Mid-Southern, Mid-South, and the UWF. Hellwig left the UWF due to a contract dispute, and went to World Class where he started his "Ultimate" Warrior gimmick as the "Dingo" Warrior. Sting went face, and teamed with Rick Steiner to become UWF tag champs, then moved into World Championship, the flagship territory of the NWA. Sting immediately garnered attention with the way he could get the crowd going, his good interviewing skills, and his great high flying moves, which were very rare for a guy his size at the time. Sting's first great moment came in 1988 at the Clash of the Champions when he went one on one with Ric Flair for 45 minutes to a time limit draw. This showed that Sting was no flash in the pan, and was truely a top star to stay. Sting started going after the Television title, which was held by the Great Muta. The two started feuding, and as Muta was part of Paul Jones' stable, Terry Funk was also a part of it, and this led to an alliance between Sting and Ric Flair. The two tag teamed against Funk and Muta, and Buzz Sawyer, and after Flair beat Funk in a I Quit retirement match, Sting and Flair reformed the Horsemen with Ole and Arn Anderson to go against Jones. The Horsemen fell apart when Sting wanted a title shot at Flair, and the Horsemen turned on him. After the turn, Sting injured his knee trying to climb into a cage, and was out for a long time afterward.
