The wrestler
- The great running gag of Sting's career: Sting "disguising" himself by wearing a simple mask... of himself:
- In WCW, nWo tried to convince fans and the rest of the locker room by making it look like their greatest opposition, Sting, had joined their ranks. They went as far as to recruit an impostor to stand in the ring with them as they cut a promo. As Buff Bagwell was posing and preening, the Sting impostor hits him with a Scorpion Death Drop. The Sting impostor then takes off his Sting mask to reveal... It was Sting all along! The rest of the nWo flee the ring in surprise while Sting stands there nonchalantly.
- That time in TNA where Sting's upcoming opponent Rob Van Dam was high-fiving fans fans in the front row (video link on the main Sting page). One of the front row fans was a Sting fan, wearing a Sting mask, with Sting's hairline, and a scorpion shirt with Sting's name on it. As RVD approaches, the Sting fan gets up and hits him in the face with a chair, before revealing... It's actually Sting! People not caught up in the heat of the moment can clearly see Sting's face paint extending past the sides of the mask.
- Sting and Darby Allin were feuding with Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page as a part of Sting's 2021 in-ring debut. After Sky and Page win their TV match against other opponents, Darby walks out, backed by a line of seven Sting supporters with different hairstyles all dressed as Sting.
While Darby faced Page, Scorpio Sky took on the Sting supporters attacking him one at a time. Sky quickly fells each of them until the one with Sting's current hairstyle gives his punch a No-Sell, then takes of the mask to reveal... He's really the real Sting! - During a Coffin Match between Darby Allin and Andrade El Idolo on Dynamite on April 20, 2022, Andrade's stable beats Darby into the front rows of the audience, stopping right in front of a fan with a sign saying "I'm here for Darby Allin." One of Andrade's stable members rips the fans sign, and security has to hold back the fan, who is wearing a Sting mask and a backwards cap. After the fan takes off the mask and cap, the security guard actually smiles and lets him through to attack the wrestlers fighting Allin. Why? Because that fan was Sting!
- He had a brief feud with The Iron Sheik in 1989 that produced a very clever take on Shut Up, Hannibal!. Sheiky was doing his Persian Clubs routine and was daring Sting to take the challenge. Sting said that he wanted to see him do it again, and Sheiky obliged. This happened a few more times, over and over, until Sheik was clearly getting winded. When he demanded Sting finally take his turn he simply walked away, making Sheiky look silly.
- Frankly, some of his 1997 run was pretty funny. One of the highlights being the mind games he played with Hogan, the peak of this being mannequin Hogan head that he sold like it was an actual decapitated head in a box. The next week no one said a word about this. It's even funnier considering Hulk Hogan's notoriously bad acting.
- Sting mocking Madison Rayne's screechy voice and girlish tantrum, later threatening to "Scratch [her] eyeballs out" in a Camp Gay voice. Can be seen here.
- You need a Lego Sting.◊
- This Sprite commercial. It has to be seen to be believed.
- 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.Sting: "Hey Hulkster, can I have your autograph toooo?"
- Trolling Jeff and Karen Jarrett with video footage of them stabbing each other in the back before firing them.Sting: "You can't have Karen without Jeff, and you can't have Jeff without Karen, you gotta have all of you or none of you, in this case...we're going to have none of you, because you're both FIRED! FIRED! FIRED! FIRED!! AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....FIIIIIIEEEEERRREDDDDD!!!!"
- That time the Four Horsemen trapped him in a cage and RoboCop of all people saved him by ripping the door off the cage.
- Jeff Hardy vs Sting at Victory Road 2011, when Jeff came out super baked off his ass, and Sting beat him in under a minute. Best part was Sting shouting "I agree!" To the audience chanting "bullshit". Everyone's jaws dropped.
- One often overlooked one from Starrcade 1997. While celebrating his title win, Sting looks into the camera and starts spouting unintelligible Spanish ending it with "Mamacita!" It's especially weird and hilarious because these were the first words Sting had spoken since October the previous year.
- On the second night of Fyter Fest 2021, Sting was at ringside Darby Allin's match against Wheeler Yuta. When both men were down, Sting had a face-to-face with Orange Cassidy, who was at Yuta's corner, and the two exchanged Cassidy's signature lazy kicks on each other's shins and ending by simultaneously kicking each other slowly, and Sting top it off with a lazy version of his chest thumps. Not only the referee stop counting, Darby yelled at Sting, treating it as a distraction from the match or even a parent acting silly in front of his son.
- At Forbidden Door 2022, El Phantasmo tried to twist Sting's nipple to no effect. Sting later returned the favor.
- On the March 22, 2023 episode of Dynamte, when Kip Sabian had taken Orange Cassidy down, Sting tags in and uses Cassidy's lazy kicks on Sabian. Thinking it was Cassidy, Sabian turned around only to see the Icon himself, who continued to kick him two more time slowly and then thump his chest lazily.
