10 Things You May Not Know About Sting
The Icon turns 63 soon!
3. Ready Player One
WCW video games are much like their WWE counterparts in that they're a mixed bag. There have been some absolute gems like WCW/nWo Revenge and WCW vs. nWo: World Tour, as well as some true duds like Backstage Assault and the oft-forgotten GameBoy game The Main Event.
But, good or bad, Sting has been there through it all - literally. Being WCW's franchise player throughout the company's existence also means you're the face of their products.
WCW released ten video games between 1990 and 2000, and Sting is the only wrestler to have appeared on all ten.
Whether he's wearing Wolfpack-foreshadowing red and black tights on NES' WCW Wrestling, or swinging a cattle prod on the late-nineties' Mayhem release, Sting has been the one constant in all the games - moreso than the ring itself, which Backstage Assault thoughtfully excluded.
The likes of Ric Flair, Lex Luger, and The Steiner Brothers all have a game or two that they missed, leaving Sting as the model of consistency.
