Surfer Sting was one of my all time favorites. Being blonde myself I even would get my hair cut like his, spiked and yes...even with the rat tail His "crow" turn was the start of the downfall of his career. They took away that "excitement" that Sting had and that helped connect him to the fans. His look became boring & bland. His matches became stale, which wasnt always his fault. A jump to the WWF in 2001, with a look more like his 96 look (longer dark hair, black tights with multi colored scorpion & rotation of neon colored boots) could have rejuvenated his career. Instead he kept the same boring stale look and after a brief stint in Australia went to the ultimate minor leagues. Im not sure if he was trying to extend his career or help pass the torch or what but the grand scheme of things his entire TNA run could be very forgettable. Its not that he didnt have some bright spots here and there but it wasnt what it could have been. Once he finally chose to get on the big stage of the WWE, he not only STILL had that boring stale look but now as sadly a broken down shell of his former self. Ive seen Sting wrestle live on many many occasions but the Sting-Flair-Anderson vs Austin-Pillman-Windham match will still be the best Sting match, if not over all match, Ive ever seen!

Sting is my all time number 2. Amazing career filled him great feuds and matches. Character wise, I firmly believe Crow Sting IS his defining look and IS his iconic look. When you talk about Sting, that's what most people remember him for. No knock on Surfer Sting because I loved that but people who believe that Surfer Sting is his most remembered look are naive. Sting was and always will be WCW. He's a true legend. It was a pleasure to finally see him live. I'm glad he got a WrestleMania moment and a WWE title match. Thank you Sting for the years of great memories. Guys like Sting represent everything that is great about pro wrestling. Sting is in a class of guys that are untouchable in wrestling. You would have a hard time convincing people old enough to have seen his 1988 Clash of the Champions match vs Ric Flair and the following 2 years chasing the World title that they are naive for remembering him as the California surfer.

This might just be semantics, but Sting says his neck is ok and he is not "officially" retired. I'm just going to assume he makes it official at HOF. I'm not going to get my hopes up. m.tmz.com/#video/0-cxi26mpw/

I'm just saying I wouldn't get too invested in the whole "he said he's OK" thing. It's interesting for sure but I still highly doubt we'll ever see him in the ring again unfortunately.

when people didn't know if he was going to side with the nwo or not, and he wore the shirt only to rip it off reveal he'd sided with the wolfpac...favourite sting moment ever:
