Lmao at ppl saying vince wouldnt spend money for something like this. Need I remind you the Empty Arena match between The Rock and Mick Foley or how about getting Mike Tyson? Jeebus you ppl are naive.
This brings back great memories. Stings crow gimmick cannot be beaten. WCW did amazing things between 96-97. Its a shame it went a bit sour from Mid 98
@cipher10000 True, But does this have to do with money? Vince is a Billionaire he can do anything he wants. The reason he wont have any of his talent jump off a helicopter is because of Owen Hart. He doesn't want to take that risk of seriously injuring someone or killing.
@45Yankeeclipper Well, not to split hairs, but Vince lost the billionaire title in 2002 or 2003 I believe. He's only in the millions now. ("only" being a relative term there LOL) Although this looks a bit safer than most of the arena line spots. The helicopter seems to be much lower than most of the arena rafters. That being said, there are many dangers to be found here as well.
@CombatSportFan okay, sorry for forgetting Vince is not a billionaire anymore BUT, Thank You for agreeing with me that This stunt is still dangerous and why it's not done today.
@45Yankeeclipper It's just a pet peeve of mine that Vince still spouts the "billionaire" line to try and stroke his ego =P I was never a fan of any of those spots because they always looked very dangerous. One of the most cringe worthy was from Memphis. Jerry Lawler lowered into the ring from the top of the Mid-South Coliseum only holding onto a rope. No real safeguards were seen from what I could tell.
@CombatSportFan I completely agree, and that's why Vince is smart not to do those spots anymore but you got to read some of these comments. These Stupid marks keep saying it's because of money why vince doesn't let his talent do things like this.
@45Yankeeclipper To be fair, if Vince saw a way to market from it I wouldn't put it past him to TRY to do this again (whether a wrestler would agree is another story.) However, Vince still has enough production money to blow up limos, and have huge explosions in the ring etc. This wouldn't be a drop in the bucket for WWE or the USA Network to cover. Helicopter rental plus stunt crew, well south of $10,000 total. Nothing for them. It's just not a good risk/reward any longer.
@cipher10000 what are you talking about? Vince DID something like this two years before this incident. It was at Wrestlemania 12. Shawn Michaels greatest entrance of all time.
I REMEMBER WHEN WCW USED TO DO THESE "SPRING BREAK EDITIONS" I WAS 12...AND ALL I REMEMBER IS HEENAN WITH HIS PATENT "OOOOOOH!!!!!!!" WHEN STING KICKED SAVAGE...CLASSIC!!!
wie ich die Musik liebe .... hatte früher ein knapp 2 Metter großes Poster von Sting an meiner Tür hängen, jeder der das erste mal zu mir gekommen ist hat sich erstmal in die Hose geschissen ^^ das wahren noch Zeiten
@45Yankeeclipper Hogan's the heaviest guy there. Lex Luger wasn't "blown away" but you're not complaining about that. There's a good reason Hogan didn't sell that.
@HipnosisV1SvR exactly how much do you think it is to rent a helicopter? cause it's not that expensive. alternatively, this was a massive gamble, and i can't actually believe Ted Turners insurance agents let this happen. as someone who worked around helicopters daily for 4 years in the army i can tell you there are few machines on this earth that can go from fine to completely fucked faster than a helicopter.
this was good, but the best sting entrance ever to me was at starrcade 97 cause that was the time when everybody wanted to see sting come down the ramp most lol
@sweetpetergeda Idk it's not everyday somebody desents from a helicopter for just an entrance and this was on nitro not on PPV. But yes his Starrcade entrance was epic as well.
@catnip213 huh, you need to watch that again pimpin lol, everybody knows the real sting when they see him and that was him at starrcade 97, i got the match on like 3 or 4 dvds. as much as i study that guy as far as wrestling goes, i know that guy no matter where i see him at lol
thanks for uploading this, i remember watching it many moons ago when wrestling was more enjoyable and anticipated than it is today but cant remember, what year was this ? im thinking 1998/99 ???
Sting has said in interviews that he almost did the same thing once that caused Owen to fall.
