#1 Sting
During his time in WCW, ‘The Franchise' was always synonymous with the promotion. While a number of men came and went from World Championship Wrestling, Sting was always the measuring stick by which all other talent was gauged.
He captured multiple championships, ranging from the United States to the World Championship. He was, without a doubt, the be all and end all as it pertained to WCW. From his legendary feuds to his iconic transformation to the black and white vigilante that watched from the rafters, Sting was unquestionably the painted face of the promotion.
When WCW closed its doors in 2001, Sting didn't move on to WWE, but rather walked away from wrestling for a time, only to re-emerge in Jeff Jarrett's TNA promotion. It wasn't until thirteen years later that Sting would make his WWE debut.
When he came to the company, the nearly fifty-five-year-old Sting, unfortunately, couldn't connect with fans today like he did during his rise to prominence in WCW. His success in WWE wasn't nearly the same as it was in WCW.
