15 Best Wrestling Comebacks

#3 Sting - 2006

An Iconic return

'The Icon' Sting is one of the greatest performers of all-time and was to WCW what The Undertaker is to the WWE, their gatekeeper.

When WCW went out of business in 2001, the Stinger was in no hurry to have any discussions with WWE.

Although he had brief talks with them in early 2002, a deal was a long way off. Sting would wrestle some matches in 2002 and 2003 for the World Wrestling All-Stars promotion and TNA Wrestling, before remaining inactive throughout 2004 and 2005.

Amazingly, to the shock of everyone, TNA Wrestling announced in late 2005 that they had reached a deal with Sting for 'The Icon' to wrestle part-time for them in 2006.

What Sting thought would be one year of helping the young promotion, turned into a relationship of almost eight years. Over this incredible run, Sting would become a four-time TNA World Champion, an NWA World Champion once again and a TNA Tag Team Champion.

Sting would also have many thrilling matches with Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and more. H even stepped into the ring with Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair once more. For someone who many thought would never wrestle in a big league again, Sting had an amazing comeback. Such a shame the same can't be said for his short run with WWE.
