I remember when this song debuted on TV. It was at the Clash of Champions in January of 1993 and my first reaction was "WHOA, they changed Stings music!!". I liked it but still preferred his theme when he was the NWA/WCW champ the first time around. The crowd would instantly recognize it and go crazy!!
I will always be a big Sting fan even though he needs to retire.he was one of my 1st favorite wrestlers.still wish he would make one WWE appearance and also he needs a three disc DVD set.
I like how almost all of WCW's mid 90's babyface themes tended to sound like this ie: American Made, American Males, Pillman's Blondes Have More Fun theme, etc.
@BrunnerJamFilms That's because Michael Hayes was behind a lot of WCW's themes of that era, similar to how Jim Johnston was behind a lot of WWF's themes
but the truth is that whole gimmick, even his image, was a PURE rip off from the crow movie. Everything about that character was a rip lol but i still loved it
but despite what anyone says, this is the theme I remember most from the Stinger....and I can't help but enjoy it. ..I'll take this theme over WWE's mainstream themes of most wrestlers anyday
@HollywoodKendrick i heard they wanna put like a "wcw like" theme next year....sting, the four horsemen, goldberg, depending on their contract with tna
I don't give a fuck what anybody says. This song kicks motherfuckin' ass. Sting was at his peak at this time. He was the man that turn my interest to WCW when I first saw him in SuperBrawl V in 1995. I didn't have the same love for him after he adopted the Crow gimmick. I always felt if it ain't broke then don't fix it.
STING is AWESOME, he was the reason why I watched WCW during the 1990's, he has wrestled alot of guys from Vader to Ric Flair to Steve Austin to The Steiners to Barry Windham to even The Road Warriors
STING will always The Franchise of WCW and when WCW went out of Business, I was heartbroken, but I'm glad that he went to TNA and NOT to the WWE and personally, I can't say as I blame him for not wanting to join Vince McMahon's WWE w/all of the Guest Host and TV-PG Banning Blood Nonsense.
@tnawcwvictoria now personally i don't mind the guests it's the no blood...there is language...but no blood...and sting went to Tna...and i hope Vampiro returns there
@tnawcwvictoria Sting is the reason i got into wrestling in the first place. i remember watching nitro with my cousings when i was little, and when i first saw Sting i was like "this guy is awesome!!!"
I love sting. He's a great wrestler. Out of all the tribute video's on youtube. I enjoy watching sting's video's the best. Every gimmick sting has had worked for him from surfer sting to tna sting etc. Sting lives, breath, and eats wrestling business. Sting became a legend, and he did it his own way. I don't know what the future hold for sting. And i wish him the best in tna and hope he creates even more great matches. Sting 4 life.
He needs to lose his Baseball Bat & The Crow Gimmick and do it for one more run TNA as The Stinger , Blonde Hair , Amazing Colorfull Face Paint Tights & Jacket , im pretty sure for more money or less he'll do it for one more run !
you can tell by watching this Sting ,that Jeff Hardy was inspired as he said he was.,the High flying stuff is exciting,but shouldnt be the only thing in a match,These times flew by quickly,before I knew the 80s where over ,then the 90's ended in Flash ,and now im here at the beginning of the 2nd decade of the 21st century, damn ,but in those times ,the only constaNT was me being a wrestling fan,.WHOOOO
i agree as much as id eventually come to love ric flair and hed wind up as my favorite wrestler because i realized it was a ll preplanned and flair wasnt a real jerk up until that time i was totally anti horsemen and pulled for stinger and luger or anybody warring with the horsemen.
i still love sting, but its funny how flair a man i used to despise for what he did to sting in the end became my favorite wrestler and sting number 2.
@ghostinthefog1666 ric flair put sting on tha map,i would always be a sting fan no doubt,bottem line,when sting and ric flair was on da card sheet u know it was gonna be fun night,alot of ppl seem to think ric flair was the best,he was as a heel,and sting was tha best face, ric flair and tha horseman has alot to do with sting bein as gud as he was,point blank
the stinger at his best back in his hayday n i think this is his best theme i also prefer him here because he has more speed, style, charisma and athletisism unlike his crow gimmick
how did he lose you? in what way. i mean sting when he started talking again was just bringing elements of the old fired up in your face sting while still keeping the crow look.
all he did when he began talking was became the old sting again in attitude being more of a happy character.
while i agree sting should have stayed silent just a little longer i think he had to talk again eventually i wanted him to say something again eventually.
@ghostinthefog1666 He did have to talk but he lost me whne he went to the NWO wolf-pac. I just couldnt see sting in the red and black but thats just me.
oh i agree sting joining any form of the nwo was silly. i mean if anybody sting was anti nwo he was wcw all the way and i realize wolfpack was a face not a heel group but it was still strange cus nwo represented in itself a different promotion outside of wcw even though it was still part of wcw technically.
sting was a company man and nwo was all about anti establishment so it did come off weird.
I hope Sting returns to his original style before he retires. Even if he doesn't dye his hair blond, it would be cool to see him in the way he's supposed to be. He was never as athletic and exciting to watch after the crow gimmick. I loved his matches against Vader, Muta, and Rude.
He always loved to perform to his little Stingers . He is the icon , he's the man called Sting . Best known for his match against Ric Flair at Clash At The Champions and Colorfull Jackets .
That was on Nitro in 1995 I "believe" in October. now I could be wrong but I am fairly sure is October. and I know for certain it was in 1995 on Nitro just dates escape me right now.
@darule514 no. crow is the best, your just saying that because your watching this video. i bet you'l say CROW is the best if you went to watch sting crow titantron.
@AzEvanz this sting was the BEST! The transition from blonde to crow was my favorite version of Sting. More real than any of his other versions. Sting proves that face paint is a very good way to stay a star in the wrestling business.
I like this theme but I LOVE Stings crow theme.
