Sting was quite possibly the most over Superstar in WCW in the early 90s. His feud with Vader is still regarded as one of the greatest David vs Goliath stories ever told in professional wrestling.
After the nWo had taken over, Sting disappeared for a while and came back as the dark-cloaked, mysterious character with a baseball bat in his hands. He began coming down to the ring from the rafters and attacking nWo members on random occasions. Sting's popularity shot off to the sky and he became the knight in shining armour who was going to save the WCW from nWo. The storyline led to Sting defeating Hollywood Hogan for the WCW Title at Starrcade 1997.

Sting's 'Crow' persona revitalized his waning career and helped him cement his place among the all-time greats of pro-wrestling. Steve Borden was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
