These things about [[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}|Sting]] are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Sting FINALLY getting his hands on "Hollywood" [[Hulk Hogan]] at ''Starrcade 1997'', winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from him with help from [[Bret Hart]].
** ''Everything'' he's done in TNA since becoming [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]].
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]:
** During Sting's ill-advised heel turn and feud against a face [[Hulk Hogan]], he ''did'' do something pretty funny-- he assaulted Hogan while he was signing autographs for kids.

** There also was a commercial for Sprite in which he challenges a young wrestling fan to a match, right in the kid's house. The boy takes a swig of Sprite, thinking it will transform him into a wrestling prodigy - and [[Reality Ensues|Sting mops the floor with him anyway]], while [[Crosses the Line Twice|the kid's parents just look on and laugh]].
* [[Growing the Beard]]: The familiar all-white look that is most closely associated with Sting was first sported by him on the October 21, 1996, episode of ''WCW Monday Nitro''; in the beginning, the paint actually evoked The [[Ultimate Warrior]], as it appeared to be two wing-shaped white splotches covering each half of his face. This look soon transitioned to a uniform whiteness with black eyes and black lips, and gradually became scarier as the black streaks emanating from Sting's eyes grew thicker and longer and more thorn-like, until they were almost more prominent than the whiteface itself. In 2011, Sting's makeup became a less monochromatic hodgepodge of black ''and'' red interlocking streaks on a white canvas, thus brilliantly evoking both the colorful pre-1996 look and the demonic "Wolfpac" makeup. Now, however, it's taken on a "Joker" appearance that (along with his radical new behavior) is quite controversial among fans.
* [[Ham and Cheese]] / [[Evil Is Hammy]]: He seems to be having a lot of fun in his recent heel run.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Steve Borden actually holds the trademark on the name "Sting" for a performer. That means that Sting the musician has to ''pay'' Sting the wrestler in order to use the name he's best known as (apparently, it's a token sum).
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: [[
** He retained all the above traits when he turned Face, and increased the amount of Ledger!Jokerness.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "The SHOCK! MASTER!" *Shockmaster faceplants*
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]] / [[Motive Decay]]: In four months since taking power, the [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] [[Dark Is Not Evil|Dark]] [[Guile Hero]] who rightly accused [[Hulk Hogan]] of protecting his favorites and successfully fought to expose and destroy [[The Illuminati]]-style [[It's All About Me|corruption]] and [[Drunk
** May have just averted this trope by realizing himself that the GM!Avenger thing wasn't working and {{spoiler|voluntarily stepping down the ''Impact'' after ''Victory Road''.}}
