Why he's on the list: A 15 time world heavyweight champion, Sting is the only man to hold the WCW, TNA, and NWA titles. He was known as the franchise of WCW as he never wrestled in a WWF event.

Warning: the video is not for the faint of heart.
Almost a 100 padded up guys met for a game of football some call the Super bowl in the New Orleans Superdome. The Super Bowl is the most watched single day sporting event in the world and that is why companies are willing to pay over $3m for a 30 second commercial and that is why Beyoncé invited her girlfriends from Destiny’s Child to join her on stage during the halftime show. Oh, after the four quarters the Baltimore Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31.
His story helped her win an Oscar -- and now her support helped him win the Super Bowl. Baltimore Ravens lineman Michael Oher celebrated his first win at the football tournament on Sunday night in New Orleans, with his family and Hollywood mum Sandra Bullock in the audience to cheer him on. In the 2009 hit film The Blind Side, Sandra played Leigh Anne Tuohy, a stay-at-home mum who was famous for adopting the then homeless teen, who with their help, would go on to football fame.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Chris Culliver blurted out an anti-gay comment during the Super Bowl media day interview with comedian and radio personality Artie Lange on Tuesday January 29th. When Lange asked him weather the 49ers have any gay men on the team, Chris Culliver replied with “I don’t do the guys. I don’t do that. We don’t have any gays on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Can’t be with that sweet stuff.” He publicly apologized this Wednesday with these words, "The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel. It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience."

It's a pretty good success rate to only play three seasons in the NFL and make it to a Super Bowl. Joe Kapp wasn't a standout by any stretch of the imagination. He managed to lead the '69 Vikings to the big game—they lost to the Chiefs 23-7—but still.
After an article in Sports Illustrated accused Ray Lewis of using a substance called "deer antler spray" it became the hot topic of Super Bowl media. The spray is known to contain IGF-1 (insulin growth factor-1), and is on the NFL's banned substance list. The IGF-1 is said to give all the benefits without the risk of detection, through regular tests. Lewis denied taking the substance of course, and even if he did, it's scientifically proven that IGF-1 doesn't work on the human body as it does on the fast growing deer antlers, so his return had nothing to do with it.

You can't call yourself the master of the wave unless yo'ure Garrett McNamara! The Hawaiian rode what the world considers to be the biggest surfing wave in recorded history at the ZON North Canyon Project ub Praia do Norte, Nazare, Portugal.
The wave was over some 90 feet (that's 30 meters) high! McNamara rode the wave with a great fury, landing himself perfect points and the envy of all his peers.
The world's fastest cars already exist at 763 mhp and counting! But that doesn't mean that just anyone can buy them! The world's fastest cars are not on the market for anyone, not even millionaires, because there's just no place to drive them anyway!
At those speeds I guess it's no wonder that they all look like rockets or other space-bound wonders.
