The Blade Runners were a professional wrestling tag team consisting of future superstars Steve Borden and Jim Hellwig which existed in 1985 and 1986. Their look was from the new wave music scene with black eye paint and spiked hair with a rattail (Borden's bleached blonde and Hellwig's dyed black). The two men would go on to individual success under the ring names of Sting and the Ultimate Warrior, respectively.
