1775-1776. Sting and Jeff Jarrett


Steve Borden (born March 20, 1959), better known by his ring name Sting, is an Americanprofessional wrestler, currently signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he is the current TNA World Heavyweight Champion in his third reign. He is best known for his tenure withWorld Championship Wrestling (WCW).
Borden has held twenty-four championships in various promotions throughout his career, and is a fourteen-time world champion: a six-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, two-time WCW International World Heavyweight Champion, two-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion(he is also the only man to ever hold the NWA World Heavyweight Championship in NWA and TNA),three-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, and one-time WWA World Heavyweight Champion. Industry commentators have described Sting as the "franchise" of WCW; prior to its cessation, the organization said of Sting, "He is the franchise player of WCW, and perhaps no one better represents the organization than the man called Sting". He is arguably the most well-known professional wrestler to have never performed for World Wrestling Entertainment.
Borden is the only wrestler to win Pro Wrestling Illustrated's "Most Popular Wrestler of the Year" award four times.

Jeffrey Leonard Jarrett (born July 14, 1967) is an American professional wrestler and wrestlingpromoter. He is currently signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), an organization he co-founded along with his father and in which he holds minority stock. He is well-known from his multiple runs in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and World Wrestling Federation (WWF) during the 1990s.
A third-generation wrestler, Jarrett has held seventy championships in various promotions throughout his career, and is a 15 time world heavyweight champion (though TNA officially recognizes him as a 10 time champion): a six-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, four-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, three-time USWA Unified World Heavyweight Champion and two-time WWA World Heavyweight Champion. While he never captured theWWF Championship during his time with the company, he challenged for the title and achieved notable championship success in the promotion, becoming a six time Intercontinental Champion(a record from 1999–2004), and is one of three men to hold both the Intercontinental andEuropean Championships simultaneously. He is the first wrestler to be a two-time King of the Mountain, and also won the Asistencia Asesoría y Administración tournament Rey de Reyes in 2004. Between WWE, WCW, and TNA, Jarrett has held 22 total championships (including theNWA North American Championship while in WWE), and has held numerous regional titles as well.
