Sting has been getting a lot of congratulations on Monday, but none might be cooler than this. 

With WrestleMania just a few months away now, WWE is not wasting any time in beginning to get their WWE Hall of Fame class for 2016 all set up. Monday afternoon the announcement came through that a lot of us were waiting for, that being the first inductee into this class is none other than the legend himself —  Sting.

Of course, whenever someone is inducted to the WWE Hall of Fame, the congratulations start pouring in from all over the place. However, Sting got quite the endorsement from maybe the most recognizable sports star on the planet.

After the announcement was made, LeBron James took to Instagram to offer up his congratulations for one of the greatest to ever step into a wrestling ring.

Now that was certainly something. Now it’s common knowledge that LeBron, like a lot of other high-profile athletes, is a fan of professional wrestling, so it was nice of him to go out of his way to do this for Sting.

Not many wrestlers that are inducted get a shout out as big as this one from the Cleveland Cavaliers star and, again, maybe the most well-known athlete on the planet.
