If wwe/f got a hold of sting instead of warrior wrestling would be a lot diffrent hogan wcw run would pail in comparrision . The marketing vince could have done with a guy with stings passion, skill and look. Its sad that instead he got warrior who had his head shoved up his ass for most of the 90's
@brianlane413 nwo and hulk hogan beat wwf. Sting never drew a dime it's a fact. Hogan is the reason wcw pulled ahead. Sting was a good performer but is by no means the best wrestler ever not even close.
Sting never drew a dime? How come then during 1997 his merchandising sales were second to only to Stone Cold Steve Austin? I think you better redefine what your definition of never drawing a dime is.
I love how over Sting and Lex were from the beginning....yet they paid their dues...TV title, US title....all before winning the big tamale WORLD title...back when the world belt was worth GOLD...now its just a cheap decoration
@dinobam sting is the best wrestler of all time you r crazy he made wcw that beat wwes tail so long and still whooping tail in tna and has never worked for vinnie mac and that is a good thing
I remember being backstage and Sting having to go through several takes of this interview. Stevie Borden was and is a good guy and fantastic wrestler but not a natural mic worker - most of the guys would do it in either one take or improvise slightly but Steve had to stop once he lost his momentum.
No-one ever got angry with him (save Dusty Rhodes until he left) because he was so hard on himself.
yeah, and it was awesome how he beat Nikita Koloffs butt in 87 for the U.S. title, in such a convincing way!! That made Lex Luger that much more popular then he already was.
it's pure Bullshit to insult STing, why dont stick to bashing his former partner ,the Warrior.Luger is in not so good condition in the hospital,messed up hips.I wont bash a guy thats fighting for his life
Now THIS is the Sting I know and love, the one I grew up with. The "Crow" Sting sucked, period. This was the "wild and crazy" stinger. I've been hoping to see the clip from around 1987 when he bumrushed, splashed, and applied the Scorpion Deathlock to J.J. Dillon...one of my favorite STING moments ever.
Yeah. I kinda prefer old school sting, too. He looked more real. The Crow Sting had too much facepaint, and he looked kinda like a monster like that. And that black wrestling attire was kind of stupid.
This looks like NWA Footage from 1989 when Flair was the World Heavyweight Champion and he and Sting were battling Terry Funk and the Great Muta. Lex was the United States Heavweight Champion. Flair was the Chief Booker for the NWA at that time. Great storylines.
Is the Lex Luger/Miss Elizabeth death rumor true? I forgot what it was like to hear Lex speak, I love it, kinda reminded me of Ric Flair. This is some special stuff. I need to do a WCW episode on my podcast.
The sad part is promos have gotten so bad nowadays, that one seems pretty strong! Cena stopped cutting promos, and Flair is still The One, after all these years!
What kind of disgusting, desp...despicable lack of respect does that Apterwhatshisname have, not giving the Total Package an...Achievement? Achiever Award? I don't know what it's called!
Flair had just beaten Terry Funk, when he got jumped by Gary Hart's stable. Sting came to save Flair, only to get blindsided by a Lex chairshot. This caused Flair to snap and he literally jumped on Luger, until Muta nailed him with a chairshot.
Luger said 'one clean swoop' in reference to this setup, which was to culminate in a round robin tourney at the Starrcade PPV(Muta vs. Flair vs. Sting vs. Luger). Luger meant he was going to beat them all in one night.
dude, get a life. seriously. wcw was painful to watch with it's enormous amount of generic, jobber, wrestlers such as Jim Powers, Roadblock, Ice Train, High Voltage, Hugh Morris, Brad Armstrong etc. Watching Nitro was like watching a sub par indy show until the NWO came out, in terms of entertainment.
I always got behind Lex Luger as a "face" in the late 1990's, in WCW as he feuded with NWO. He certainly had the best physique in Professional Wrestling and one of the best signature moves in the "torture rack." "Sting" is grossly overrated and "Lex Luger" is somewhat underrated in terms of being able to get heat.
"Sting" always gave cartoonish, corny, interviews. It is a relief that he didn't enter the WWF because his character was never of the, "WWF attitude." He always appeared to be sexually interested in "Lex Luger," with his constant praise and hype of him.
dude, get a life. seriously. wwf has sucked from the time dx broke up and wcw went off the air. sting vs the nwo was a better story line than wwf has had since the debut of the undertaker. wrestling sucks now, vince killed wcw and wrestling in one fell swoop by turning it into "entertainment."
I'm a wrestling fan and i have a request does anyone have a clip of Luger and Flair's confrontation in the ring several years ago along with Jim Cornette holding the mic.
I know Luger's not a promo guy but he came up with a funny line when he told cornette if he opened his trap one more time he would give him a hell lot of insurance that was hysterical and classic.
Yeah then flair & woman leave luger grabs flair then gets clocked rips his shirt then ric hides behind woman cornette shouts at lex saying "No Luger don't hit a woman!" Then Ole and Arn Anderson hit the ring and attacked lex.
Clever. You do realize that Sting, the wrestler, is in fact the one who has the name legally trademarked right? According to copyright laws, the only official and legitimate Sting is in fact Mr Borden and not the aging singer.
So, to rephrase: "Hello, sting is in fight's,and NOT in music"
