October 21th 1996: Stings debut in black and white face-paint

[ku62jo62]

october 21th?

[ku62jo62]

21th?

[tdylan]

Is it just me that likes Sting's "Crow" look minus the mouth being painted better than the face being fully painted?

[Fardun007]

How come Nash looks as tall as Paul Wight aka Giant in here ?

[LastKissGoodbye]

@Fardun007 during a discussion on "giants of wrestling", Jim Ross(?) mentions that Paul suffered from a similar condition to what Andre the Giant had, which caused him to continually grow well into his adult life. Fortunately a treatment was available to stop it that wasn't available when Andre was alive

[jaythejayzer]

i wanted to watch the commercials

[crocodiliusz]

his paint jobs got alot better than that to the point

you couldnt actually tell it was his face.

[CSick27]

hall and nash were so good at this point. this is when they still gave a shit.

[RatedRMachine]

this remembers me the good Old Times, I remember of having figures of Kevin Nash,Scott Hall,Hulk Hogan,Goldberg,Scott Steiner,3 Stings,DDP,Giant,Booker T, Konnan,Jarrett,Jericho, Almost all the figures of WCW in that time

WCW Fa~Fa~Fa~Lyfe~Fa~Lyfe

[Raad187KO]

did i just see sting do a peoples elbow of some sorts?

[stoy1000]

You must know that black people have to endure monkey chants at sporting events in alot of countrys, even at the olympics. Your choice of animal is stupid and disgusting. If I was a black person i would take great offence to your comments you stupid bastardo. You need to educate yourself more and become more open minded, you un-cultured swine

[RyanPelley1]

Virgil honestly looked like a chimp. And no, that's racist by no means. People in every race look completely like chimps, but seriously... At the end when he looks at the camera, it's spot on.

[stoy1000]

@RyanPelley1 You daft racist

[RyanPelley1]

@stoy1000

Explain how I am a racist?

[stoy1000]

@RyanPelley1 You're racist because you hate black people like virgil. Calling him a chimp? Whats wrong with you, you bastardo

[crazyhiho]

@stoy1000 He didnt say anywhere that he hated black people, and he openly admitted people from all races look like animals... so again? how is he racist?

people are to fucking sensitive these days... holy shit.

[stoy1000]

@crazyhiho Shut up you racist, why do you hate so much?

[RyanPelley1]

@stoy1000

Yeah, that's pretty ignorant. I didn't claim to hate black people, or think that solely black people look like chimps. John Cena looks identical to a chimp and we are the same race. So where's your argument?

[stoy1000]

@RyanPelley1 You said virgil looks like a chimp, why the fuck would you say something like that? I can only assume you hate all non white races, i dont like that shit, you bastardo

[RyanPelley1]

@stoy1000

Because his physical features strongly resemble a chimp? Nothing racially insensitive about that, especially given the other things that I've said that countered your argument a few comments ago...

[toucansam3]

You cut it off too early. I want to know if the guy could get life insurance at his age and his health?

[coates27]

The best part of this entire video is when That guy that looked like Rick Flair says "CAN I GET LIFE INSURANCE AT MY AGE AND MY HEALTH"

[Anotora]

Immortal from TNA disliked because they're too old and unhealthy to get life insurance.

[1400deadwood]

Imagine Sting & Vincent in nWo at the time it was in WWE ~ they would have conquered it and sent McMahon's butt off into pasture.

nWo 444 Life!!

[1sixsix]

Maybe the NWO thing was taken a bit to far?

[KRRYDER]

I remember this.Sting kicked that fake stings azz.Makes ya wonder if the fake sting even had a chance.

[sting9701]

In another video you have, Tony says sting hasn't spoken since the 16th of September. Is he mistake or is your date for this off?

[Steinerecliner]

@sting9701 Tony is off. This is the right date. The last Nitro before Halloween Havoc. I looked up this date and this proof is in the results. NWO Sting no Contest Mr. JL who is that guy in purple. Sept 16 was the night he cut the famous."You can stick it" Promo about the people who doubted him.

[CamSTL]

LOL at 1:03. Either the bogus sting put up one hell of a fight not to get put in the SDL or the real sting lost his touch after being gone for sometime.

[vtown187yahoocom]

cody rodes vs orton is better than this

[DaveMacc1988]

@superjeek16 it was Scott halls idea for stings crow gimmick...

[OwenHayworth]

Lol 5:13

[SuperSkidz17]

LMFAO @ the referee wen he saw sting come in the ring

[Khan007440]

looks like Brandon Lee in this this!

[MrManfly]

love the very end...."can i get life insurance at my age, in my health" lol :-D

[SuperMoneyman90]

I wonder if that old guy ever got his answer?

[warreyboy]

lol look at the big show he was on shape lol

[TripleRp]

Moments like this will always be what I remember about the Character of Sting. Great man that prefers his own way.

[superjeek16]

is sting based on eric Draven (the crow)?

[991zacky]

@superjeek16 yes it was

[augtenth]

@superjeek16 Yes

[sudolski39]

it's virgil!



[huskerhotelfoxtrot]

Sting/Dibiase = the Omaha connection

[rtfuhj]

this would be the birth of crow sting!

[octasian]

Who was the fake sting?

[Joecbg100]

@octasian Jeff Farmer was nwo Sting/fake Sting.

[TheUnknownHarbingers]

@octasian Jeff Farmer

[sirroxalot]

WRESTLING back when it was cool.

[hazardouzCup]

Big sexy wearing Oakleys before they were cool.

[Ricmsr1]

"We could use a man like you" funny that line was in the crow too just like the angle, just seen this now and it connected. i really liked this time in wrestling. I miss watching Sting wrestle during this time

[mark224]

Jumpin' Jeff Farmer

[LockDown2341]

:S When the hell was Ted Dibase in the nWo?

[RingTailedAssassin]

@LockDown2341 he was actually one of the 4 original members of the nWo. He was their "financer" cuz well.... he was loaded! It's cuz of him that the nWo got The Giant

[XxHuff24xX]

this white and black sting looks wack with that kind of mask paint, does anyone know when he debutes in the better version of the black and white mask paint?

[bytesize]

.. life insurance? at my age, my health? LOL at how the video ends. x)

[hulch]

is it just me or were all halls promos basically the same .. probably cause he was too drunk to remember what he was suppose to say lol

[tehensley5]

I love that there's a life insurance for old people commercial starting at the end of the video.

[tyrone37]

15 years later and there still trying to book the sting vs nwo (immortal) story.

[hbk92701]

@tyrone37 No, it is totally different. Sting now has joker paint.

[naumutroi]

@tyrone37 the writers for wcw are pretty much the same as TNA. TNA is pretty much WCW and they rehash and rehash because they lost any form of creativity.

[AZdrummer89]

@CapitalCityScumbag HAHAHAHAHA!!! HE DID!!! 4 LIFE!!!

[TheShootTruth10]

nitro was a train wreck really. they did too much.

[MrJoeCortina]

He has a half Surfer/half Crow Sting look here.

[VaginaIIVIIite]

Hey Yo

[CapitalCityScumbag]

VIRGIL RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rogertayloRRR]

sting looks terrible lol

[dvajcabeztrojca]

Sting's elbow>People's elbow

[OrcDragon65]

@dvajcabeztrojca no, better, never seen the Rock get that kind of high and angle.

[TheBigdub16]

can I get life insurance at my age and my health?

[bytesize]

omg good footage!! thanks

[tb049]

I know it wouldn't make much sense but it would've been very interesting if Sting was the 3rd man of the nWo. It would be awesome seeing him direct the nWo from the rafters. And his mysterious persona would fit so well. Also him using black ball bats, exactly what the nWo is about. But on the other hand, Hogan did an over the top job as the 3rd man. I know people would say TNA is going down exactly like WCW did if they did this but they should try it in TNA now. Have mysterious Sting attack TNA.

[dankcharlie666]

when the big show had long hair and was known as THE GIANT

[femaleStudent]

3:18 I don't know if it's just the paint but he looks crazy and badass. I like it :D

[marknev30]

THE NWO WAS LIKE A GUD LUKIN PROSTITUTE, IT WAS GUD AT THE START THEN GOT BAD WHEN EVERY MAN WANTED IN HER!

[TheAaronKendrick]

Wanna know how to build a feud, story, and a character all at the same time? Watch the evolution of Sting RIGHT HERE! On youtube! :D

[PowerBoyReview]

@TheAaronKendrick True. In all since of the word, this is who to do a good feud, great story, and a wonderful character at the same time. WCW knew what they were doing. Bravo WCW bravo.

[garic2k]

lol, too many people got into the NWO and f'd it all up. 

[kefka242]

@garic2k I think near the end of WCW like 70% of WCW was in some faction of NWO lol...

[TeslaDRay]

i liked how they made his paint a gradual change (didn't cover his ;ips yet as he was still talking).

[stoy1000]

This is a pile of shit. Why didnt Sting start kicking the shit out of them? I'll tell you why, cos he's a complete cunt. If that was the Rock / Austin / Undertaker, they would of cleaned house. Oh its true, its true.

[dankcharlie666]

@stoy1000 fucking idiot

[stoy1000]

@dankcharlie666 Listen pal, I know you're gay for sting, but for gods sake he is a Jabroni. A big steaming stinking steaming stinking pile of grade A monley crap.

Crash Holly > Sting

[dankcharlie666]

@stoy1000 im gay? youre the one talkin like dwane johnson. hows his dick taste like? all this shit is scripted moron. winners are already planned

[stoy1000]

@dankcharlie666 Dont be silly Jabroni, this shit is real, the undertaker is actually dead, The godfather was a real pimp, sting is a raving homo. How can you say this is fake? Know your role

[dankcharlie666]

@stoy1000 i cant tell if youre serious or sarcastic. you must be the most sad ignorant little man in all of youtube if you think pro wrestling is real

[stoy1000]

@dankcharlie666 Of course its real dumbass. Doink the clown is actually a real clown that you can hire for partys. Gangrel is a vampire and sleeps in a coffin. Hulk Hogan is immortal, he cannot be killed, and he doesnt feel pain when he's really pissed off. Sting's a real life homosexual. Its not fake Jabroni, so know your role and shut your mouth.

[dankcharlie666]

@stoy1000 youre embarassing

[stoy1000]

@dankcharlie666 No, your moms embarrasing, like that time we were all round your house and she got her vagina out, and it stunk of shit. remember that? That was fricken embarrasing dude. Stop watching the crow

[MrHu58]

@stoy1000 are you serious wrestlings fake you moron

[dankcharlie666]

@MrHu58 hes one mental idiot

[MrHu58]

@dankcharlie666 yeah i know

[stoy1000]

@MrHu58 Wrestling is not fake, are you dumb or something? Mankind used to have a claw on one hand but then got it fixed with plastic surgery and changed his name to dude love by deed poll. The Hurricanes cape isnt just for show, he is a real super hero who lives in new york and has saved the world so many times i've lost count. The Earthquake was an actual earthquake and caused devastation on the eurasian fault line during the 18th century, before deciding to become a wrestler. Wrestling is real

[MrHu58]

@stoy1000 em are you an psycho or some mentaly jerk i said it once and im gonna say it twice WRESTLING IS FUCKING FAKE AND SCRIPTED GET THAT MESSEGE IN OUR GODDAMN PINEAPPLE TO HEAD whats next dogs can talk human language or president obama is an alien or something like et exists

[stoy1000]

@MrHu58 You are retarded

[MrHu58]

@stoy1000 your retarded that says that prowrestling is real

[stoy1000]

@MrHu58 Wrestling IS real. If wrestling is not real, how did Kane survive the fire he was in as a kid. He has had plastic surgery and has sorted his face out so he doesnt have to wear that mask anymore. The Hurricane was flying past me throught the air on his way to save someone, and I stopped him and asked if wrestling real, he said yes, and he's a super hero and I believe him. You are retarded and so is your mom.

[MrHu58]

@stoy1000 em you are the one that is retarded everyone thumbs up if hes retarded and its all scripted

[stoy1000]

@MrHu58 your moms tits are scripted but nice

[MrHu58]

@stoy1000 fuck you your mom doesnt even have boobs

[stoy1000]

@MrHu58 Your sister has no tits. I like that. I am your mom

[MrHu58]

@stoy1000 im your dad

[smokedogg870]

@stoy1000 cool story bro

[GothGamer1919]

@stoy1000 really?wrestling is more fake than Jersey Shore.

[MrHu58]

@stoy1000 yeah defently true wwf is better than wcw on returns and everything

[21richkid]

Sting looks simmilar to what the Ultimate Warrior has which is the facepaint.

[King689]

5:15 is the best part!

[yoyothriller]

His look at @0:39 is amazing. Cold, mysterious, dark. Perfectly typified what Sting would become for the next few years.

[Thebadguy1987]

Scott Hall>>Pro Wreslting

[VHWarshawski]

can i get life insurance at my age...and my health?

[JonathanCoachman1]

@VHWarshawski We can only hope...we can only hope

[rkoguy]

@VHWarshawski lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WCW4fuckingeva]

@VHWarshawski That was my fave part of the vid lol

[D2Kprime]

Sting just had (and still has) so much raw, untapped potential as a monster heel.

[patrckhh20]

@D2Kprime I don't know man... they tried to turn him heel once... but I think because of his dark persona, it didn't real work. People still cheered him even though he was supposed to be the bad guy.

[D2Kprime]

@patrckhh20 : Those are the best heels. People like Piper, Jake, Flair, Austin, and The Rock were so good at being bad that they actually became cool and people started to cheer for them. WCW was never the beacon for booking brilliance so I wouldn't use that as a gauge. His heel work in TNA however has been amazing.

[patrckhh20]

@D2Kprime As far as I'm concerned, TNA Sting is far past is prime and should not be considered canon.

[D2Kprime]

@patrckhh20 : As long as it is Steve Borden portraying the character it is canon whether you agree or not.

[ModaNaNK]

The strongest return of sports entertainment

[GuitarJohnny]

"can i get life insurance at my age, and my health?" lol =)

[MrReggaRocker]

THIS is when i loved this sport, absolutely loved it, not tons of bullshit, but just was bad ass, sting, was probebly my fav fighter, i mean shit, lol hes on my wall. 

[kabol69]

WOW THIS TAKES ME BACK TO MONDAY NIGHTS U COULDNT GET ME OFF THE TV! i would flip back between this and raw but i started watching because of wcw really, they had the best one i had ever seen in ray m. but on the a bigger matter, if this aint the signsof "you know who" then i dont know what is! cant say to much "big brother" is watching

[volar]

LMAO at the two dudes randomly standing up at 3:47

[TheoHuxtable07]

@volar haha

[k1ng0fswa9]

:22-:30....the peoples elbow before it was cool!!!! hahaha

[BlueBlazer89]

@k1ng0fswa9 rock was doing the peoples elbow before this dumbass, think before you comment

[num1Jaysta]

@BlueBlazer89 No he wasn't. The Rock hadn't even debuted in the WWF until a month later.

[BlueBlazer89]

@num1Jaysta you're right, he hadnt debuted yet..but he was doing house shows you moron..think before you comment

[num1Jaysta]

@BlueBlazer89 Which means he hadn't done it yet on tv MORON.

[BlueBlazer89]

@num1Jaysta lol wow you're an idiot..i guess theirs no schools in amerika

[num1Jaysta]

@BlueBlazer89 Keep trying to sound smart, you know your wrong.

[BlueBlazer89]

@num1Jaysta ok kid, back under your bridge you go

[Elfop1ccolo]

@k1ng0fswa9

yeah, well sting is the icon for something, he could have been so much more if he joined wwe, well not more, but more famous, cuz he was one of the greatest of all time in wcw, but wwe never really recognised the wcw accomplishments as they should have, they never really admitted wcw was bigger at one point

[Wass0o7]

wow the commentators suck so much...

[Elusareth]

@Wass0o7 They weren't particularly good, but there was a degree of seeming legitimacy to them at the time. Like wrestling really was real, and nobody knew what was going on. They kind of just acted like fans.

[ashervonsteinlager]

can i get life insuarane at my age with my health. lol

[1loverants]

That was very clearly the most electrifying elbow in sports entertainment. Rock, eat your heart out.

[TooMuchGass]

No healthcare..

good luck americans

[Astbruchgefahr]

I love how Nash always references songs.

[tomtik101]

what was up with sting's dark nature?

[roger62383]

Sting did the people's elbow at :26

[imlaughing2death]

0:24-0:28 The People's Elbow!

[MrKazzi0]

nice quote kevin nash!

[TheDibiaseposse4life]

oh ted dibiase =)

[gmorales14]

Bischoff was the worst goddamn announcer I've ever heard. Michael Cole sounds good next to that guy.

[buttercremehonda]

@gmorales14 coughCOREYMACLINcoughJUSTINROB­ERTScoughJOSHMATTHEWScoughJUST­INROBERTScoughTONYSCHIAVONEcou­ghMIKETENAYcoughDONWESTcoughMA­TTSTRIKERcoughTODDGRISHAMcough­VINCEMCMAHONcough

[gmorales14]

@buttercremehonda And I would listen to every single one of those guys gladly over Bischoff.

[NeverwinterKnight77]

@gmorales14 I'm afraid I must disagree.  Only Mike Adamle was worse than Michael Cole.

[gmorales14]

@NeverwinterKnight77 Keep forgetting about that guy, lol. I still say Eric Bischoff was the worst announcer. Mike Adamle is close, I will admit that.

[qwanieyoung]

@gmorales14 Matt Stryker is thee worst

[qwanieyoung]

@gmorales14 Matt Stryker is thee worst



[vicavox]

"Can I get life insurance at my age, in my health?"...No!

[godsgift2x]

[MrJamock]

lol 2.2.21 is taker 3.3.11 is sting for tna

[FatFadi]

[SinistaMinista666]

Ted Dibiase...that's a cool fuckin' name

[2goodAdnan]

is that Micheal cole and tazz sounds like them ?

[sskats]

@2goodAdnan No. It's Tony Shiavone, Mike Tenay and Bobby Heannan.

[DaManEX1983]

@sskats Isn't it Bischoff? Wasn't this before he joined?

[sskats]

@DaManEX1983 You know what, you are right. It's Bischoff, Heenan and Tenay. I guess Shiavone hadn't taken over yet

[2goodAdnan]

@sskats okaay thanks :L

[2goodAdnan]

@sskats ok thanks



[xXxbonez360ravinxXx]

vince mcmahon should take every single wcw monday nitro and put it all on dvd for the fans to buy cause from 95-01 i would buy all wwf/wcw raws and nitros

[PhenomenalWun77]

This was his first appearance in black and white, but his gimmick here is still the Surfer. His actual first appearance with the new Crow gimmick was the following week during Steven Regal vs. Juventud Guerrera.

[redilago]

Don Cheadle- Greatest member of the nWo ever!!!!
