This particular entry would have been much higher on the list had it not been for the somewhat unclear direction WWE is taking with Sting. The fact is that immediate plans for him are unknown, though the rumor mill is turning everyday online. Some speculate that he could work well into 2015 and perhaps even into 2016. Others believe that his Hall of Fame induction may not happen until next year. However, there may be no time like the present for WWE to give Sting the recognition he deserves. He would not be the first talent to be inducted and then continue to perform. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler were both put into the Hall and then went on to business as usual on commentary. So even if Sting is inducted in 2015, that does not necessarily mean he will hang up the boots the next night. Fans have waited a very long time for The Icon to appear in a WWE ring and now that the moment is upon us, it's unlikely that the company or the man himself will want to stop it this early. The fact is that Sting has had a Hall of Fame career and getting a ring from WWE will not prove that. For the majority of fans though, it's that singular moment in time that will fully endorse Sting's career and cement it forever alongside those men and women that have already received the honor.
