How long has sting been at wresting?

Steve 'Sting' Borden started out in 1985, teaming with Jim Helwig (who would later become known as 'The Ultimate Warrior') under the team name 'The Freedom Fighters' (Sting was called 'Flash Borden' whilst Helwig went by the name Jim Justice), and were managed by Dutch Mantel. They formed this team after their stable, 'Power Team USA', split up. They worked for Jerry Jarrett in Memphis Continental Wrestling Association but were released as a result of working too 'stiff' (not protecting their opponents as much as they should/could have been). Jerry got them jobs with 'Cowboy' Bill Watts' Mid-South Wrestling-which later became Universal Wrestling Federation-so they could still make a living wrestling. They turned heel and became known as 'The Blade Runners' (Sting as Sting, Helwig as Rock), and were managed by 'Hotstuff' Eddie Gilbert as part of his stable 'Hotstuff International, Inc'. Helwig moved on to World Class Championship Wrestling, becoming 'The Dingo Warrior'. Sting eventually turned face and split from Gilbert to go out on his own.|||Sting has been wrestling for 23 years he made his pro debut back in 1985.|||Since November 28, 1985!!!
