Sting News: Interesting WWE Nickname

News

WWE likes to give all wrestlers a secondary nickname/tagline that can be used in conjunction with the regular name.

For Sting, the name that has been decided is “The Vigilante”.

“The Vigilante” Sting was the choice instead of something like “The Icon” Sting, as there was no interest in using the same nickname as in TNA.

Announcers and all talent have been told to use the Vigilante nickname anytime Sting is mentioned on TV, and it’s reportedly a mandatory directive with no exceptions.

Jonathan Widro is the owner and founder of Inside Pulse. Over a decade ago he burst onto the scene with a pro-WCW reporting style that earned him the nickname WCWidro. Check him out on Twitter for mostly inane non sequiturs
