Former WWE star Steve Borden, aka, Sting is a name familiar to all the wrestling fans around the globe but Ever wondered how old Sting actually is?
Steve Borden, popularly known as Sting, was born in Omaha, Nebraska, on March 20, 1959. This results in Sting being 62 years old and a legend of professional wrestling, with over 40 years of industry experience, and winning most of the major championship titles.
He made his wrestling debut in 1985 at a very young age and was associated with JCP and WCW from 1987 till 2001. Borden made his Total Nonstop Action Wrestling debut on June 18, 2003, and spent over 11 years there till 2014.
Sting finally was linked with WWE from 2014-2016 and then joined AEW in 2020.
Sting is quite a popular figure in the wrestling universe. He is a former bodybuilder and is currently signed to AEW.
Sting is regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers since his legacy has been around the corner for the last 5 decades. He is a fourteen-time world champion, having competed in significant wrestling promotions like AEW, WCW, NWA, TNA, UWF, and WWE.
Borden started his wrestling career by the name Flash with The Ultimate Warrior in the All California Championship Wrestling. He is one of the prominent faces of two American wrestling promotions, mainly with WCW, later bought by WWF and Total Nonstop Action.
Steve has a 14 year-long journey with WCW, which started in 1987. He was regarded as the counter to WWF’s Hulk Hogan. Steve has the most pay-per-view appearances than any other wrestler in WCW.
