Sting Being that Nigga for entire year W/O saying anything or Wrestling APPRECIATION Thread

[genocidecutter]

When a man's heart is full of deceit it burns up, dies, and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse, a wrong that must be righted. We look to the skies for a vindicator, someone to strike fear into the black heart of the same man who created him. The battle between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes the Dark Warrior, the purveyor of good, with a voice of silence, and a mission of justice.This is Sting

that match at Starcade was terrible because Hogan destroyed Sting. I think Sting got in maybe 7 moves the entire match, a few punches and dropkicks, but Hogan mopped the arena with him, threw him around the outside of the ring, hit him with his own bat, hit the big boot and atomic legdrop and pinned him clean. Hogan won that match straight up but there had to be controversy with the referee and Bret Hart getting involved.

When we saw that match, we were laughing our asses off because Sting was getting whupped then got pinned. The end looked so sloppy and impromptu, like they were covering up the fact that Sting lost clean, it ruined his return. After that match, it wasn't even the same anymore.

this was 1 of my fav storylines ever. when you break it down n see the buildup it was one of the greatest buildups to a match ever. now that starrcade catch was awful, but the buildup! that was something. man called STING is top 3 all time in my book

 

[Chi-Town Bully]

I was never a Sting fan no matter what character he was. I couldn't take him serious when they had him beating up 15 guys at the same time.

 

[Dupac]

only thing i didn't like about sting was how he just blatantly stole his gimmick from the crow, and as soon as heath ledger's joker replaced the crow as the go to goth costume...sting ran wit hthta as well...

shit's kinda wack IMO

 

[BK Product]

Someone said it another thread and i agree....

one of the greatest character/gimmicks of all time

 

[dalyricalbandit]

Respect his career but was never a fan really......Was a WWF guy

 

[VIBE]

Sting to me has always been wack.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Sting has lost all credibility to me since he started that Joker gimmick. Straight jacked Heath Ledger with no problem

na for that James O'Barr gave him tha cosign but tha other shit yeah you got that.

I read in bischoffs book that originally sting was supposed to win clean. But hogan felt sting was too "out of shape". Hogan felt he didn't deserve a clean win. So hogan used his creative control clause to change the ending. The plan was for the ref to make a fast count. But instead the ref used a slow count (lol). Bret was then put in place "to make sure another title match don't end in a screw job". Ironically based on how things played out hogan actually got screwed.

Funny because Hogan and Sting are "buddy buddy" over in TNA.

 

[VIBE]

Now he's still doing the "joker" look but with blue instead of red.

 

[infamous114]

Sting is wack for that joker gimmick

 

[TRILLip Brooks]

@Mally_G

hogan did that shit on purpose.

he buried more people than hhh back when he was in wcw. from bret hart to all the mid carder like benoit and them.

for me the sting character lost it's luster when he joined the wolfpack

they had him coming out and dancing, man that shit was stupid. i'm still a sting fan though.

biz made a thread about how cena/rock was the anti sting/hogan

i think that was the whole point. not sure if they asked for permission

there was no point in bret hart's involvement.

TNA is wack for that joker gimmick

fixed

Prime sting worked his ass off. The blond box and fancy scorpion pants sting put on a show. The only wack angle he did was his work with brett hart. But thats more wcws fault for making brett a heel when he was too far over for that shit and string wasn't always forced down your throat like other wrestlers today are. I don't know if he ever beat vader or rick rude but, those matches are great.
