#9 Sting
If Shawn Michaels was Mr. Wrestlemania, Sting was Mr. WCW. For years, the icon Sting refused to join WWE for reasons that several people of the WWE Universe are aware of. Sting along other wrestling legends was the foundation on which WCW was built.
After WCW closed its doors, Sting resisted signing with WWE, instead opting to grow Impact Wrestling aka TNA in 2003. He stayed with Impact Wrestling till 2014 and eventually signed with WWE. While the dream match with The Undertaker never happened, he fought his one and only WrestleMania match against HHH at WrestleMania 31.
Sting is a wrestling legend for all the right reasons. Like The Undertaker, he evolved his character over time in WCW, TNA, and WWE. He was entertaining and really lived the Sting character in all its forms. While him being in the WWE Hall of Fame was not a surprise, at one point, some WWE fans never thought it would ever happen.
There were also rumors arising that the real reason Sting made his WWE debut in 2014 was so that he could be familiarized with the current crop of fans and added to the WWE Hall of Fame.
