Even the most experienced wrestlers can feel intimidated when entering their first locker room.
Even the most experienced wrestlers can feel intimidated when entering their first locker room. However, a former WWE Superstar recently revealed that Sting had the remarkable ability to put newcomers at ease with his welcoming demeanor and warm presence..
Shannon Moore, the center of conversation, joined WCW in 1999. It was Chris Kanyon who gave him his big break in the industry by hiring him. Later on, Shannon Moore became a part of the “3 Count” stable, which played a significant role during the final year of WCW TV operations.
Shannon shared on the “Developmentally Speaking” podcast that he initially felt some nerves upon entering WCW for the first time. However, a fortuitous encounter with Sting swiftly eased his apprehension.
“I remember walking in the first day, almost terrified and walked into the locker room and the first person that greets me is Sting. He jumps out from behind a wall or something and he’s like ‘Hey kid!’ and he’s got his bat and he’s in full make-up and he’s like ‘welcome.’ I was like ‘that’s cool thanks’ you know what I mean like Sting, I’m a fan of Sting. I was like ‘hey man Shannon Moore nice to meet you. I’m happy to be here, I don’t know how I’m here but I’m here’ and he offered help right up front. That’s one thing I remember was, and it continued to like–he always offered help which is incredible.” [18:21 – 19:12]
Moore stated that within the WCW locker room, numerous legends existed. However, he emphasized the significance of The Icon, who serves as a role model due to his impressive accomplishments both in and out of the ring. In addition to his wrestling abilities, The Icon’s supportive attitude towards aspiring wrestlers should be admired.
“That’s one thing I can say is like there’s a handful of people that deserve that legend title, that hall of fame title inside and outside of the ring and Sting I can say is one of those guys. From day one like I’ll never forget, and I still get chill bumps like telling the story because like of all people that could be a horrible person, like Sting he has the rights to be that I guess if he wants to, but from day one he totally set the pace of like ‘oh wow like that’s a role model.'” [19:47 – 20:26]
