Sting will reach wrestling's biggest honor with help from one of his all-time great rivals.
Ric Flair revealed on his WOOOOO! Nation podcast that he will be the one to induct Sting into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 2 in Dallas. "The Nature Boy" has had many in-ring wars with "The Vigilante," but they are very close outside the squared circle.

For years, Sting feuded with Flair and his Four Horseman stable, and the two wrestled each other all around the world. Sting and Flair also had a clash in the main event of the final edition of WCW "Monday Nitro" in 2001.
The 16-time World Heavyweight Champion was one of the first people to congratulate Sting when it was first revealed he'd be headed to the Hall of Fame back in January:

Thus far, Sting, The Fabulous Freebirds and The Godfather have been announced for the Class of 2016.
