10 Reasons WWE Are Inducting Sting Into The Hall Of Fame

7. He's A Throwback To The Old School

The WWE Hall Of Fame should be a stage on which the company remember years gone by. Even though Sting has been considered a member of the current WWE roster, he's been around the wrestling industry since making his debut way back in November, 1985. For older fans, that can be remembered as a time when the then-WWF were just starting to really turn into the global powerhouse they are today. WrestleMania was a relatively new phenomenon, and Sting was working diligently in the National Wrestling Alliance. The landscape of the business was very different to that of today, and Steve Borden was very much a part of that. Vince McMahon rarely seems to enjoy reflecting on days gone by, but the Hall Of Fame offers up an opportunity for that to happen. Sting wrestled in an era when WrestleMania was fresh on the scene, long before Monday Night Raw or WCW's Monday Nitro. He was a star years before the likes of The Rock, Steve Austin or even The Undertaker. That must be credited, the guy has been around pro wrestling for over 30 years. Sting is a name that harks back to a time when wrestling was just about to enter a golden age.
