Big vague this one but...There's a Sting promo on the new best of Nitro DVD which I can't find on Youtube at the moment. Think he was talking about Hogan/NWO. Anyway he comes down and starts delivering his promo the opposite way to the hard camera. The announcers start by taking a piss a little bit i think Heenan calls him dumb or something then start saying "maybe stings turning his back on us" or it's symbolic in some way. Did Sting just gently caress up and face the wrong way?

He had great stats in EWR but I think I only ever used him a hand full of times. Usually thrown in a tag team.

And WCW had "Turned their back on Sting" by not showing faith in him. So he turned his back on WCW.  So the Nitro DVD is such a burial that they don't even explain the angles properly?

It's just random matches and angles with little narration. DDP pops up about 3 times per disc and says a few words about the next clip we're going to see.

I bought the DVD and expected to see some awesome matches, but by the end of the first disc I was so sick of seeing Hulk Hogan I just quit watching it. Just like the old days.

As a fan of both Raven and CM Punk, what ROH dvd's would be best for their feud? Their website only has Night of the Grudges which has Raven & Whitmer vs Cabana and Punk, but that;s it.

After you have a terrorist wrestler blow up the entire arena with everyone inside, and two guys feud for a whole year by eating as much as possible until they are 2 stories high and destroying entire buildings with their match, there's not much left you can do.

I don't think Angle's gimmick was "master of x" so much as it was "Olympic gold medalist/hey guys he's good at wrestling but for real wink wink"
