I was there. Got to work back stage and the back gate. Saw sting and macho warm up and work out together. They seemed to be getting along fine before the show.
You just don't get the psychology of it. They all didn't want to jump on him at the same time because they would look like punks. Just watch it for what it is and stop taking a TV show so seriously. If it entertained you then stop complaining. UH.. PEOPLE THESE DAYS!
@aaaaaagg2a yeah your right but my comment was kinda rhetorical dude people that are fan of wrestling question it just as you would question life and death you know you would die one day but you don't spec't it in wrestling you know the wrestler
Belive it or not Free energy is real,But there are very powerfull forces that want to supress the technology,Get a motor that works with the power of magnets only at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,take part in the revolution!
ah the good ol' days. when professional wrestling was worth watching. now all we have is a company that's more concerned with playing to the kiddies than actual wrestling, and another company that doesn't know its ass from a hole in the ground.
Sting took around a year off of the pro wrestling scene ,this took almost a year to take place. Remember sting in the rafters e.t.c nobody knew what sting was all about .This was the first sign that the stinger was back and in december of that year at starrcade he defeated hogan in a controversial ending with bret hart right in the middle. classic storyline wrestling at its best wcw was at its peek and almost took out wwe in the monday night wars
I was at the North Charleston Coliseum for the PPV and the pop Sting received when he took out the nWo was the loudest I had ever heard. The noise in that place was so deafening you couldn't hear the guy next to you.
Before the PPV, they teased that maybe the old surfer Sting might show up because they played his "Man Called Sting" music alot. And after the cameras stopped rolling, he and Luger embraced in the ring. Never forget that night!
20 was an example. It was less than 20 guys considering they werent all at the same time. There were people joining and people defecting the nwo. And it wasnt many considering what they wanted to do with the nwo. You see WWe today you got the roster split. But until 2002, wrestling never had a promotion with 2 roster. WWE had one roster on multiple shows, like wcw did as well and ecw. The thing is Bischoff wanted to separate the nwo from wcw and create the first ever roster split.
nwo in 1996: hogan, nash, hall, ted dibiase, syxx, the giant, fake sting. nwo in 1997: buff bagwell, curt hennig, rick rude, randy savage, vincent,miss liz, scott norton (nwo japan made appearances but they were from njpw, not wcw) great mutah, masahiro chono. 1998: Dibiase and Giant left. Giant rejoined. nwo sting left. Bret Hart, Scott Steiner, stevie ray, horace hogan all joined. If you consider: nash, and savage left at this time, and hall wasnt on either nwo, it wasnt too many
You guys are missing the point. Yes, Sting was a household name, but the nWo propelled him even more because they were all big names he was beating up. Who the hell was Mongo McMichael going to propel, or Ric Flair's flabby ass. I'm just saying.
Wait a sec, your missing the point. You just dissed Ric Flair! The 16-time world champion! Let me ask you a question. Who put Sting on the map? It was Ric Flair! The NWO isn't on Ric Flair's level. The NWO was a strong group, but Ric Flair was a member of the most dominate group of all time! The Four Horseman!! The NWO tried to be cool. The Four Horseman invented cool!
Four Horsemen??? Cool??? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! How many times did you see the nWo "own" Flair? Many times. Flair was always outta shape and was "16-time World Champion due to politics. That's all that WCW had back in the days. Yes, I respect Flair as a Hall of Famer but WCW didn't beat the WWF in ratings until the nWo invasion. Checkmate!
You think thats all WCW had? Gosh, you don't watch much wrestling I see. WCW had Magnum TA, Dusty Rhodes, the RocknRoll Express, Road Warriors back in the day. NWO wouldn't be able to compete with those guys. NWO only had 1 bigtime superstar. That was Hulk Hogan. So, before you go dissing Ric Flair, you need to remember Hogan and Flair are the 2 best ever. You can have the NWO, I'll take the Four Horseman! Checkmate, you just got owned!!
You said it yourself 6 comments ago. "WCW from 1996-98 was the most exciting time in wrestling history". Why? Because the nWo owned. I'm still your friend.
I have no problem with you either. But there are 2 reasons people watched WCW from 96-98. Them 2 reasons are Goldberg and Sting. People didn't come to see the NWO, the people came to see Goldberg and Sting.
Dude I hope you're joking. NWO and Hollywood are what MADE WCW, in terms of ratings anyway. And I love Sting too. Great rivalry with the NWO he was a big part of it too. STING the only household wrestler in history to be household name WITHOUT wwf/wwe.
duh its was the writers/bookies of wcw idea to do nwo acutally to exact Paul orndorf(if i spelled his name right) wwe attitude era would never exist if it was not for wcw nwo arc. boy i love wrestling back then even though its scripted they did entertain now you got lame not talented gimmicks pushing wwe as usual.
nWo made wcw a force in wrestling but it went on for too long. practically everyone in wcw was in one of the nWo incarnations and it got boring. that's why wcw went out of business. it would have happened 5 years earlier if they didn't have the nWo.
wrestling now is just so subpar back to the cartoonish figure they need something like this I mean a great faction of free agents, not to mention writers and bookers need to remember SARSA.
Attitude era?? Sting didn't need the attitude era. He was part of the NWO-Sting era! The greatest era of the 90's. No, I don't think he regrets not signing with WWE in 2001. Why would he? He's done it all.
@hardrockin96 Agreed. Sting made the right choice staying away from WWE. They would have butchered his character/legacy. Sting solidified his spot as a legend by declining to sign.
I hate when you little kids leave out the years 1995,1996,1997 and 2002. But you guys are little kids so you wouldn't know anything about the 90's and early 2000's.
I gotta say, to all you nWo haters out there, that Sting woulda never become as popular as he did without the nWo. If it weren't for them, he woulda been beating up in the Flair's, Luger's, Mongo McMicheal's etc. Not quite as exciting. The nWo put him over. Long live the 4-life family.
So true. I liked Sting just as if not more than the NWO, but what you said can't be denied. Had NWO not been as big as they were, Sting's popularity would have been as high as it was.
this is when he was one bad son of a bitch the BAT
