INTERVIEW BY LUCA loosely translated "Poison" CELAURO
Intro:
The wrestler Steve Borden, better known as "Sting", speaks of his fame, of drugs, the miracles that God has done in his family's life and then his conversion to Christianity.
SCOTT ROSS: Before we begin, I would like to confess how much I love your music! (Includes Sting, Rockstar)
STEVE BORDEN (professional wrestler "Sting") ... ....
SCOTT ROSS: I understand ... the times of the Police!
STEVE BORDEN: E 'was great to be in the Police ... (laughs)
SCOTT ROSS: Really? Would you talk about?
STEVE BORDEN: Not now. (Laughs)
SCOTT ROSS: Seriously ... Steve grew up in Southern California. He was strong and athletic and had developed a passion for bodybuilding. That is where his career began to Sting's professional wrestler. A stranger came to the gym one day and put in front of an offer that he could never refuse.
STEVE BORDEN: This man had already chosen three big Omoni to train them and then insert them into the world of wrestling and I was looking for a fourth. They tried to recruit other people for a couple of weeks but did not on anyone, as long as the choice fell on me.
SCOTT ROSS: Steve said yes and after ten weeks of hard training was inducted into the world of wrestling.
STEVE BORDEN: My character was the original "Flash Borden
SCOTT ROSS: Flash Borden?
STEVE BORDEN: Flash Borden! (Laughs)
SCOTT ROSS: Steve also married at the very beginning of his career, the girl he was engaged in a long time, Sue. It was hard for a young couple, but despite the travel and all the problems that this work entails, their marriage endured well, because Sue was very confident of the potential of Steve as a wrestler.
SUE BORDEN (wife of "Sting") : I knew it would become a phenomenon. The support o dei fans era enorme. Andai a vedere i suoi primi match per sentire la loro reazione. Il suo carisma era così incredibile. Per questo sapevo che poteva farcela..
SCOTT ROSS : Quindi nel 1988, la fiducia di Sue in Steve è stata ripagata. Steve cambiò il suo nome in "Sting". Il suo primo big-match fu proprio contro il pluricampione del mondo Ric Flair in diretta TV. Divenne un eroe popolare diventando campione del mondo NWA, ma la sua carriera esplose solo quando divenne solo una figura oscura che appariva nei tetti delle arene, combattendo solitario contro il New World Order capitanato dal malvagio Hollywood Hogan and beating him in PPV. Although things were going well financially, travel constantly tried a lot of your marriage. STEVE BORDEN: I was at the top of the world, but now my marriage was really falling apart. Sue and I were like two ships sailing in the night. She had a life, I had a life. But now we had two children, two young children. I was losing control over every part of my life.
SCOTT ROSS: So Steve has now complied with its problems turning to pills and alcohol.
STEVE BORDEN : I told her I was taking prescription drugs. I was taking the "Pain Killers", I was taking those drugs that make the muscles relax and I was alcoholic. She asked "how long do you do?" I replied that "now had a couple of years I was in these conditions"
SUE BORDEN: I thought it would have to go to rehab but he vehemently replied that it was not necessary that did not need that. Refused to go into rehab.
STEVE BORDEN : I begged her and begged her. I said, "The stop! The stop!" But I could not do it. I tried for about 30 days. I have come close but things began to go rapidly downhill.
SUE BORDEN: I thought, "I do not know what else we can do" will not go into rehab. There is stopping. I can not live like that.
SCOTT ROSS: Steve was desperate. For years, his brother told the love of God So Steve finally decided it was time to listen. One evening in August of 1998, decided to turn to God for help.
STEVE BORDEN : I said, "I can not do it alone! I need you to save my life, to save my marriage, because now everything is out of the my control. " So I invited him to come live in me. I told him "from this day forward you will live with me."
SUE BORDEN: Steve suddenly became a completely different man and following his approach to God told me the life I had led in all those years.
SCOTT ROSS: As Sue realized the incredible changes of Steve, she decided that she too had to implement a change.
SUE BORDEN: Having seen what happened to my husband, I wished desperately to be like him. I happened a couple of months after Steve. I had grown up in the Church, but I've never had a relationship with Jesus Christ. I suffered a slow but steady change in my faith during those days. It 'was amazing for us, for our children, the marriage was saved and the Lord had done this miracle. Now there is harmony in our home, is something wonderful.
SCOTT ROSS: Your wedding then had never been better. Steve, meanwhile was pulling out of the work he had done for more than a decade, just in favor of a new life with his family and with God ... a that happens almost simultaneously with the purchase of WCW by Vince McMahon.
STEVE BORDEN : Vince bought our federation, and then decided to retire from wrestling. Besides, I had a contract that was undetectable by anyone except that Ted Turner.
STEVE BORDEN : Beh, anche.
SCOTT ROSS : Ed ora c'è un film?
STEVE BORDEN : Ora c'è un film.
SCOTT ROSS : "Sting: The Moment of Truth" E' la storia di Steve, delle sue lotte disperate, mostra la strada that route to fame and wealth and how God saved his family.
STEVE BORDEN : I tell you one thing. We have seen the miracles one after another, the first miracle was Gracie. Who is now 4 years.
SCOTT ROSS: your daughter?
STEVE BORDEN: Yes When we realized that the clock has "ticked" too many times, I mean the biological clock, we plan to make another baby. God says: "Do you want another child?" "Well you wished another child," I said, God, and so there has got another. A beautiful little girl. He says: "Follow me. And I will give you the desires of your heart." And, man, before we knew it, we had Gracie. One of the first miracles that we have received. Following its presence has made her feel much in our lives. Now, we are growing our children in the Lord, all three of our children, in peace and harmony.
