16 Purest Babyfaces In Wrestling History

Sting was WCW's answer to Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior, a kid-friendly superhero who could be counted on to doggedly oppose the machinations of top heels everywhere. The surfer version of Sting was basically a child inside the body of a paint-smeared bodybuilder, and evinced none of Hulk Hogan's crybaby tendencies or Ultimate Warrior's ranting mania. He was a hero you could sit down and have a beer with. Well, not a beer. A protein shake, maybe. A bright neon one.

In his long and storied career, Sting spent only a few months as an out-and-out heel as the reluctant don of the Main Event Mafia. That run felt deeply wrong somehow, and it ended with Sting getting beaten up and kicked out of the MEM for not being enthusiastic enough about villainy. In fact, apart from his most depressive Crow phase, Sting's always been an affable -- if excitable -- presence.
