Not in Hall of Fame News

On WWE.Com, the announcement was made as to who will headline the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016.  That man is Sting. From Southern California, Steve Borden would break into the business under the guidance of Rick Bassman as part of Power Team U.S.A., which also included Jim Hellwig, who would gain fame as the Ultimate Warrior.  Borden and Hellwig would team as the “Blade Runners”, but both would strike out on their own, with Borden, now known as Sting competing in Mid-South, and then later the NWA, when the latter bought out the former.
