According to website UPI, wrestling legend Sting is headed into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016.
Sting is the first name that has been announced as a 2016 inductee. the ceremony will take place April 2 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas as part of the Wrestlemania week festivities. The 56 year old made his in-ring debut with the Ultimate Warrior in 1985 as part of The Blade Runners and eventually moved onto singles action as a popular wrestling star in World Championship Wrestling. In the 1990's, Sting had memorable feuds with stars like "Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. Sting also had a run with TNA wrestling in the 2000's and finally showed up in WWE in 2014. Sting's only matches in the WWE were in 2015 against Triple H at Wrestlemania 31 in and with Seth Rollins at Night of Champions.
As a big wrestling fan, and Sting fan, I feel this is a well deserved honor. Ric Flair congratulated Sting on Twitter saying, "Welcome to the club Stinger! Right we're you belong. Wooooo!"
