In a quietly historic moment, Sting "Steve Borden" worked his first appearance for WWE in the past week. Borden appeared on the Ultimate Warrior "Greatest Matches" special exclusive to the WWE Network as one of the guest stars who spoke about his memories of Jim Hellwig. His comments were recorded in the days after Warrior's death last Tuesday, chronically speaking on the Warrior special after comments from Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat. Sting spoke about his favourite Warrior memory, reminiscing about the time Warrior put tuna and orange in a blender and said; "I got my protein and vitamin C all in one." Sting and Warrior's career began at the same time when they were recruited by Rick Bassman in the 80s. Their big break came soon after when they started working for Jerry Jarrett in the mid 1980s as the Power Team USA before turning heel and having more success as the Blade Runners. After 30 years in the business and 13 years since WCW folded, the appearance this week will have marked Sting's first appearance specifically recorded for WWE television. The appearance comes just as news broke last week that WWE have sent Sting his contract to finally join the company, but as of yet Sting hasn't signed and sent it back. This is expected to just be a formality and a deal looks closer than ever to being finalised.
