Every Sting goes down with one punch, so Bagwell hits one with a punch and then does his pose. As he does his pose, the Sting he just hit grabs him and hits the Scorpion Death Drop. Coolest poo poo ever.

Thinking about the huge Sting vs nWo feud, it really is dumb that Sting joined the Wolfpac later on. I mean, he did it to screw over Hogan so that makes sense I guess, but joining Nash's team doesn't seem that much better.

Why does Sting work on his car before wrestling shows and forget to take his gloves off? I never got that.

I just knew that if he wore them it had to be spooky. When I eventually got a closer look, it looked kind of like "MENCHAX" or something nonsensical, and I was like "What the hell does that mean?" Soon after they showed an WCW Nascar update on Nitro and I saw the whole WCW pit crew was wearing them and thought "That's weird why are they wearing Sting's g... oh, Mechanix. Why does Sting wear those?"

Has anyone ever admitted to being one of the fake Stings? I figure they just used whatever guys were hanging around in the back, but I'd like to know who some of these dudes were who were actually bumping to one punch.

Next Tuesday Nitro, keep an eye out for some fingerless Mechanix gloves with tassels.

I absolutely ate all that stuff up as kid and vividly remember watching every Nitro waiting for him to show up out of nowhere to run off the NWO and point at Hogan with a bat. Real shame about that match, though.

Greed had DDP/Steiner which was really good and while Hogan/Warrior was pushed more, Goldberg/DDP did technically go on last at Havoc 98. Other than that, there's really nothing. Edit: Oh and surprisingly Goldberg vs Hall in the ladder match at Souled Out 99! Goldberg: King of Good WCW main events.

Awesome, but you can't help but laugh when a Sting pulls off a mask to reveal Sting. coconono posted:I can't think of any 1995+ WCW PPV main event that was actually good. *Sid/Benoit from Souled Out 2000 was okay, for a Sid match. *The War Games match from Fall Brawl 1996 was fun, even if the announcers being fooled by fake Sting was retarded. *The War Games match at Fall Brawl 1997 was a decent brawl, but the Hennig turn really just depressed me at the time more than anything else. (The last War Games match in '98 pretty much killed the concept, in case you were wondering.) Edit: Nash jobbed clean to Booker T in the main event of Fall Brawl 2000, I think. The match wasn't actually "good", from what little I remember, but at least Nash put Booker over.

I mean, you gotta figure though after the first guy to get a 9 iron in the back of the head, not too many people would volunteer to take that putt.

Kevin Sullivan strikes me as one of those guys who never drew any interest whatsoever from Vince's WWF as a worker. Was there ever any opportunity for him there?

He was pretty stiff and they didn't even let Vader get away with that for long. Well, Shawn's crying didn't.

I don't know anything about the political history, so to speak, but Sullivan was at his best in his regional days when his Charles Manson gimmick was more edgy and true to life. I have a soft spot for the guy because I think that gimmick's place in history is overlooked, but he didn't have a good look and he was a mediocre worker at best.

Sullivan was regional guy who through some social artifice managed to get to the national stage. I like to pretend that Ted Turner really loved his satanic gimmick.
