Big E is a big fan of Sting.
Throughout wrestling history, some wrestlers have been themselves just turned up to 100 while other wrestlers have embraced a different side of themselves, portraying some type of gimmick on camera. Sting was once the clean cut babyface who would light up the room with his colorful facepaint and energy.
Things changed in 1996 when he ditched the color for a black and white look, sitting in the rafters in silence and taking on a gimmick of The Crow.
Speaking to the media (via These Urban Times), Big E named Sting as his favorite gimmick in wrestling.
"My favorite gimmick? That's a very good question. It might be Sting. Sting has a great gimmick, and he's still doing it. How? I was a little kid and he's still doing it. He's going to outlast me. Sting, especially in WCW, the Crow gimmick, he used to come down from the rafters with the bat. That was cold. Sting was cold," said Big E.
Big E has previously spoken highly of Goldberg, who was his favorite wrestler growing up as he enjoyed big meaty men slapping meat.
