10 Secret Hidden Weaknesses Of Your Favourite Wrestlers
4. Sting - Trust
It’s the most virtuous of traits, but poor old Sting let his heart rule his head at some crucial moments in his legendary career.
As the 1980’s came to a close, he tried to be the fan friendly centre of a new type of Four Horsemen, and he got the absolute living sh*t kicked out of him by the old guard as thanks. Ric Flair was at the front of yet another turn on the poor guy at Halloween Havoc 1995 after swearing up and down that he wouldn’t be such a little tosspot if Sting would join him against conspirators Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman. Lex Luger would have done the same in 1996 had the New World Order not ran roughshod over WCW.
And about that!
For all the times that Sting’s lifelong open-hearted ness deserved reciprocation, a WCW under fire took it upon themselves to doubt his legitimacy when the nWo hired a lookalike. And even when he thought he’d found one kindred spirit in Randy Savage, he was wronged again - the Macho Man joined the group, forcing Sting back up to the rafters for almost another year.
