  1. Sting is attacking Lex. YEP!!!!!! Now I won't be backstabbed one way or another!!!!!
    Was that Jumping Jeff Farmer???

  2. Eric makes a good point about trying to get the fans to hate Jimmy Hart being tricky. Even though he was such a good heel for so long, there was just something about him that made him likeable no matter what.

    Didn't know that WCW were still doing the Sting dropping from the rafters deal post-Owen incident? Thought they dropped it long before then.

    Really enjoyed this one. Sting's such an interesting character. This is a great period in his career. Hope they do Sting in 97 soon!

  3. You should make a show just dissecting wrestler promos. Episode 89: Macho Man promos

  4. Sting was a wcw guy hogan had to turn heel because us fans who grew up off of him in the 80s were getting older and hogan is a better heel and it really looked like it was wwf vs wcw so they did it right

  5. I'm with Eric, not Nash about the "two guys with baseball bats," nobody really thought about it that way at the time, we were all wondering what would happen next.

  6. Best story WCW ever told. Sting should have won the title at Starrcade NOT the next night!
