The man they call Sting is responsible for some of wrestling€™s most memorable moments. Who could forget his chilling presence in the rafters, intimidating the New World Order at the height of their tyranny? What about his countless, show-stealing matches against €œThe Nature Boy€ Ric Flair?

The majority of his tenure took place in the aforementioned WCW with unparalleled success and, thanks to that, he now sits in WWE's Hall of Fame. But not everything he did in WCW turned out the way he had hoped.

Throughout his journey Sting was booked into some precarious positions that were just downright awkward. Here are the 10 Dumbest Things WCW Made Sting Do.
