Top 5 WWE Hall of Famers who were never world champions

#1 Sting

Sting was a charismatic wrestler

Sting was a charismatic wrestler who brought mystery to wrestling with his colorful face paint, neon ring gear, and bleach blond hair. He spent a large part of his career in WCW from 1987 to 2001, and that is why they often called him “The Franchise of WCW.”

His rivalries with Ric Flair, Lex Luger, Big Van Vader, and Hulk Hogan were magnificent. Sting joined WWE in 2014 and made his Raw debut to help Team Cena crush The Authority. He fought Triple H at WrestleMania 31 in 2015 where The Game struck him with a sledgehammer to win the match.

The Icon dabbled in bodybuilding, wrestling, writing, and acting throughout his career. In his praise, Hulk Hogan said:

"I have unbelievable respect for Sting - he doesn’t realise how good he really is...Sting should have already had his New York (WWE) run. I’ll tell you something; when I got red-hot after WrestleMania III, I was begging Vince to get Sting in the WWF so I could turn heel at some point. He had the blond hair, he was 10 times more athletic than me, and I believed this guy could have the same run as Hulkamania, but take it 10 times bigger."

Vince inducted Sting into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016.
