Legendary Wrestler Sting Has Officially Signed With WWE!

Since the launch of the WWE Network good ole Vince McMahon seems to be doing a great job of gathering up wrestling legends and getting them to join or rejoin the team (in some way, shape, or form). One legend that has been the subject of many a rumor has now officially become part of the team.

Sting.

What will be interesting to see is what he ends up doing for the network. In his prime he was one of the most engaging and entertaining wrestlers around. However, he is not quite in his prime anymore. The man is 54. Doing what wrestlers do requires incredible strength, dexterity, and athleticism; it's a pretty tough gig for guys half of Sting's age.

Than again--has Ric Flair stopped yet? According to Wikipedia he was still throwing the figure four leg lock on fools in 2012 and making appearances in 2013. However, there is a big difference from beating up on guys that interrupt an interview and getting in the ring for a match.

Lets be real here--it doesn't really matter what Sting does. His presence is going to add to the product that WWE wants to display whether he's in the ring, acting as an ambassador, managing his own wrestling team 'the Stingers', or just standing there in his face paint looking cool.
