10 Things You May Not Know About Sting
The Icon turns 63 soon!
2. The Fame Game
When TNA opened up its Hall of Fame in 2012, it seemed a bit premature, given that the company had only existed for ten years, but whatever - it's still cool to see some of the greats earn immortalization one way or another.
Sting would be the first inductee into the Hall of Fame back in the fall of 2012, a tribute to his importance in adding legitimacy to a promising young company in the mid-2000s, providing the main event scene with reliable star power for a number of years.
It will go down in history that Sting was the very first man to have been inducted into both the TNA and WWE Halls of Fame, upon his induction to the latter's sanctum in 2016.
Since then, four other men have matched Sting's dual honour, including Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett, and The Dudley Boyz. But none of them won over audiences like Sting did when he used a demonic bird to hold Eric Bischoff hostage. Good times
