I always think of Flair/Sting as the classic Sting rivalry. Vader/Sting had a great dynamic too.

Definitely Flair. Without this rivalry Sting wouldn't have become the icon he did.

Flair, Vader, Cactus, and the NWO (as a whole) are his definitive matchups for me. The Luger onagainoffagain saga was great too but since this is strictly about opponents I'm throwing him out as even when warring you always knew it was only temporary.
Flair is his biggest rival without a doubt.
Vader was on some epic final boss level stuff back then and the plucky young hero rising up to his stature is a wonderful example of tried and true wrestling stories for me.
Cactus is the perfect embodiment of monsters that Sting would fight and had amazing chemistry and clashes.
The NWO... I was a teenager watching one of my childhood heroes drop from the rafters and lay out some fools like the biggest badass around and those moments of hype and defending WCW and that build up to wanting the Hogan match may be the coolest real life super heroics ever done in wrestling.
It's between those 4 for me, think I'll go with Flair right now. It's the opposite of his Lex relationship. Even when Flair and Sting sided together it was only a matter of time before Flair turned on him. They were destined to be enemies and 100 years from now I expect them both to still be going at it as cyborgs or some shit.

I still am impressed at the chemistry Sting and Vader had in the ring. Every match they had worked so well. Even in losses, Sting looked like a million bucks.
Same could be said about Flair, and my loudest marking out may have been for Sting from the rafters against the nWo, but Vader-Sting is just something really special.

I’m voting Muta because that was the first time that I saw Muta and he blew my mind. The matches were good too.

Sting’s two best Nitro matches were probably against DDP, strange enough.

Vader was the perfect monster counterpart to surfer Sting. They brought the best out of each other.
Sting vs. Flair matches were cookie cutter and Flair coasted his way through them.

Flair and Sting had great matches for sure and they had great chemistry. But then Ric Flair had great matches and chemistry with just about everybody. I voted for Vader. Sting was fantastic as the underdog babyface trying to survive the monster.

I think Flair was his best opponent and to me when I think WCW I think these two.
Vader I think was a more interesting opponent but I don't think it was the best overall.

Luger deserves a vote. I loved their dynamic as friend and foe alike. He felt like if Sting took a very different path in life while still maintaining ties between the two.
That said, Vader, Flair, and Cactus Jack are all valid options for me, I liked his matches with all of them for different reasons.

Arn is an odd choice for the poll. I know he and Sting worked together, but it was usually part of a larger feud between Sting and Flair or Sting and the Horsemen. I don't believe they ever had a dedicated one-on-one feud with each other like the others have.

Whenever I think of Sting, I usually always associate him with wrestling Flair. Flair for me.

Vader was the perfect monster counterpart to surfer Sting. They brought the best out of each other. Yeah, their matches were great because it was both guys playing their roles perfectly. Vader trying to beat the piss out of Sting and Sting simply trying to survive
They had an awesome strap match, I forget what PPV it was, but it was brutal looking
