This match and with Goldberg was two best matches with DDP. DDP had tremendous respect for Sting. He's even said that Sting was the only major star who actually believed in him long before anyone else did. Flair hated him.
i miss these days, remember watching Nitro every week for years, quit watching WWF in September 97 and didn't watch again until i was forced to due to WCW and ECW no longer being around
have to admit, after seeing the matches and moments i missed during those years that happened on WWF shows, im glad i never watched it cause WWF looked really boring while WCW had so many memorable moments i still rmeember fondly
Oh Damn LMAO nearly spraying out a nice bite of Cinnamon Applesauce back into My Cup , Poor Me and thank God I had a napkin nearby , the part at the 19:40 mark when Sting is bouncing DDP's head into not just the top turnbuckle ALL THREE in increments of three then slamming his head into ring mat , I was laughing so hard cause of how the crowd counts along !
Saw this match live when it aired........awesome stuff. It made it on "The Best of WCW Monday Nitro" DVD recently released! Sucked to see DDP win it back again at the end of the 3rd hour.....those 3-hour Nitros were epic!
Classic. I remember watching this when I was 11 or 12, never been more into a match. Huge Sting fan growing up and was so happy to see him win the title. And of course, I turned on WWF(E) and eventually fell alseep watching the War Zone, having no idea Sting would go on to lose the title an hour later lol. Was kind of pissed when I heard the news at school the next day haha. Thanks for the vid!
i watched this whole match and this just shits on anything the wwe is doing in the early part of the 21st century. and it's not even the main event?? what the fuck??!! no way they could keep it up!!
@GunSlayer360 this crowd was crazy and at this time wwe's crowd was even crazier....sad thing is..today we dont have even 1% of this. Crowds are not even 1% of this now a days

Now this is what you call a classic, this shits on anything the wwe has considered ' classics' over the past few years.
