The Icon is effectively considered a legend in the pro wrestling world, having had a distinguished career spanning multiple promotions. His status as a top-notch performer was cemented in WCW itself. Although his short run in the Stamford-based company has been criticized, he found a new home in AEW at the end of 2020.

At Extreme Rules tonight, Drew McIntyre battled Karrion Kross in a brutal strap match. This prompted WWE commentator Michael Cole to reminisce about Sting facing Vader at the WCW SuperBrawl III in 1993.
The old match had Sting fighting at a size disadvantage against the monstrous Vader. Despite his best efforts, Vader eventually emerged as the winner of the match.

Sting is currently acting as a mentor to the young star in AEW. Since his feud with the House of Black has seemingly ended, it remains to be seen what is next on his agenda in the Jacksonville-based promotion.

Shubhajit is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on WWE news. He has a Master's degree in English and has been working in his current role for over 2 years.
A fan of pro wrestling since childhood, Shubhajit decided to start creating content on the sport out of passion. Before covering a piece of news or rumor, he conducts thorough research, ensuring information in his work is reliable and completely accurate.
Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.
If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
Apart from reporting on pro wrestling, Shubhajit enjoys competitive gaming and reading.
