The 11 faces of Sting

#2 The Blade Runners

Sting and Hellwig were meant to be a knock off of the Road Warriors

After leaving Powerteam USA, Sting and Hellwig became the Blade Runners. Their look and antics were meant to mirror the Road Warriors, who were arguably the most popular tag team in wrestling at the time.

Managed by Dutch Mantell, and then Eddie Gilbert, the team didn't last a full year before disbanding. Hellwig went to WCCW, and Sting joined the UWF before transitioning to Jim Crockett's NWA.

It was in the NWA where Sting's legend truly began.
