Its a very basic tag match, but such a trip to watch.
Its also weird to see how much bulkier Warrior was back then.
The main event had NWA Champion Ric Flair take on the popular up-and-comer Sting.
Luckily, he and Flair had crazy chemistry and they made it work.
Sting and Lex Luger vs.
Even when it was ruined with a bad ending, such as in the case ofGoldbergvs.
Kevin Nash, WCW was still able to make these showdowns feel absolutely electric.
It was the top face tag team vs. a tag team of the top faces.
The crowd loves it and you really wish WCW had been brave enough to give it a decisive ending.
Stings Squadron vs.
The WarGames fromWrestleWar 92, on the other hand, is just pitch perfect.
The ending is simple, but perfect in how it ties together a match based around teamwork.
He was the Clubber Lang to StingsRocky, or the Bane to hisBatman.
The two had a hell of a feud with some exceptional and hard-hitting in-ring storytelling.
Its just a hero fighting against impossible odds until he can no longer escape his fate.
That said, its their rematch atStarrcade 92that really shines.
The feud continued with a Strap Match a few months later thats also worth looking at.
That I cant recommend any Hogan matches is a travesty, considering how major that pairing looked on paper.
Simply put, there are few Sting matches to look out for in his most memorable period.
Luckily, they decided to redo that exact finish a year later on anotherNitroin another title match.
This time, DDP was playing heel and there was definitely more of a pulse to this showdown.
This could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on justwhyWWE didnt want them.
In 2007, the promotion put him in a major PPV title match against Kurt Angle atBound for Glory.
We have to mention Stings time at WWE, which was largely dire and depressing.
But WWE did at least get one thing right and that was his debut.
Excuse us while we cheat a little.
The setup was a five-on-five elimination tag match atSurvivor Series 2014.
John Cenas team faced a team working for Triple H and Stephanie McMahon over the fate of the company.
Sting himself wasnt a competitor in the match, but his surprise arrival played a big role in it.
Going up against Darbys rivals, Men of the Year, Sting showed he still had it.
Sting and Darby Allin vs.
In the lead-up, he and Darby won the tag titles off Ricky Starks and Big Bill.
Sting was accompanied by his sons, both dressed as earlier versions of their fathers persona.
He absolutely performed like it was his last show and all the players involved made the most of it.
Absolutely, but it was still something special.
