Sting should’ve gotten a tan, brother.

>>19570707
Biggest fumble in wcw history

When did WCW never fuck up? They never really had any great matches. They had good "moments". But nobody puts WCW matches in their top 10/20/50 all time

>>19570857
Goldberg beating Hogan I guess

there's 2 sides to every story, brother
based hulkster overcame his fear and turned the tables with some mind games of his own
ultimately we face our fears alone, and you can either choose to run from it, or you can march towards it strumming your air guitar the whole way

>>19571027
YOU WOULD BE RIGHT IF HE HADN'T BEEN A HEEL WITH ALL TIME GREAT NUCLEAR HEAT

>>19570707
I'm not convinced that the blowoff to a yearlong storyline being a one-sided 10-minute squash that buries your top heel would be a good idea either. It's like WCW fumbled and you're trying to fumble too far in the opposite direction.

>>19571450
Hogan would not be buried, Sting's power level was just on a whole different universe. The whole reason he didn't wrestle for over a year was for him to squash Hogan when he finally does.

>>19570707
it happened cause hogans a cunt
same reason he got addicted to crack and died after getting booed out of the business

>>19571473
True, Sting would regularly fight the entire nWo by himself. In the build up I believe there was only one time where the nWo got the better of him. Literally anybody could have written a better match than what we got.
>In the build up, have Hogan admit he'd let himself slide letting everyone else do the work for him
>Have nWo "following announcement" videos show him working out and training for the match, to even pretend he has a chance
>Starrcade 97
>Match starts, Hogan tries to overpower Sting but loses
>Sting dominates for a minute, Hogan cheats and gets the advantage
>False comeback from Sting, Hogan cheats again and they go to the outside and brawl for a bit
>Back in the ring, Hogan shoulder tackles and poses
>Sting gets up immediately, Hogan shits himself
>Sting gets momentum, the nWo starts to come out
>WCW big shots(Giant, Luger) come out and stop them from getting in the ring
>Sting does his finishers and Hogan taps out clean
>nWo starts to doubt Hogan after the PPV
>Hogan loses a rematch, Randy Savage and Nash turns and the nWo splits into two so you can still capitalize on the red t-shirt sales
>The jobbers start leaving, Hogan takes out his frustrations randomly by attacking random members of the nWo
>Pretty soon it's just him and Disciple left
>nWo breaks up, Hogan stays Hollywood Hogan for a while longer
>nWo red rebrands as just Wolfpac
The only thing you have to worry about is Hogan getting the title back somehow midway through the year to buildup to Hogan vs Goldberg, and eventually Sting vs Goldberg

>>19570715
Conrad Thompson isn't a great cohost but I love when he started screaming at Bischoff for saying the thing about the tan

Sting was drugged out so they didn't put the title on him.

>>19570857
The great wcw matches were all midcard and cruiserweight matches. The main event scene was really NWO focused and those guys rarely had anything good. It was either old people or run-ins. Or both.

>>19573132
WCW was structured in a based way. If you wanted good matches, you watch the cruiserweight division. If you wanted the spectacle, you watched the heavyweights. It made for a great show before Bischoff fumbled it all. Nothing comes close to WCW at its peak. It was like watching a Tyson or prime UFC PPV. It was an event in the literal sense of the word.

>>19570707
Stink never drew a dime. Eric and Hogan did nothing wrong.

>>19570707
I mean yea stings a shitter and he singlehandedly killed WCW tha night by showing up flabby, pale, and looking like a geek. You think hogan was gonna sell being scared for a guy that looks like that?

>>19571574
Lmao you wrote all that bullshit for sting, who’s 5’8” and looked like 160lbs of chewed bubble gum, to dominate the 6’8” GOAT are you retarded? You want hogan to bump for hornswoggle too or maybe Adam Cole?

Hogan was just being an asshole as usual.

>>19570857
>They never really had any great matches
They had a lot more than WWE or ECW. Outside of Japan they had the most great matches.

>>19573374
Bret and Austin mogged WCW twice. The Carder-HBK hell in a cell too.

I've never understood the Sting tan thing
He looked pretty tan

Hogan spend the entire year laying everything on a plate for Sting and he fucked himself up on drugs

>>19573149
You're literally admitting WCW main events were dogshit as part of your cope

>>19570707
Sting should've squashed him, drop in while he's doing his entrance, death drop, ring the bell, fights off interference, double legs Hogan, deathlock and the submission

>>19570707
Well yea so hogan spent literally an entire year building this match and that fuckin retard sting showed up flabby and out of shape, pasty, and drugged and hogan had to improvise like all great ring generals do. But that’s what WCW gets for hitching their wagon to a fuckin midcard jobber like sting, no wonder they went out of business

>>19575212
why would you kill off your only draw like that?

>>19575210
Back in the day we used to be excited for main events. Youngsters will never understand because promoters don't know how to make anything matter anymore.

>>19575251
why did they hitch their wagon to Sting anyway? all he ever did that whole decade was prove he wasn't the guy.

>>19570707
Eric Bischoff is a bitch and Hogan was salty about losing.

>>19573291
You're legitimately retarded and I say that as the biggest Hogan mark on this board brother.

>>19575642
nah it's just bait. a lot of anons will say the dumbest shit they can think of just on the off chance someone assumes they are genuinely retarded and gives them a (Youl). Anyone who talks shit on Sting simply wasn't alive during the Monday Night Wars.

>>19575631
About half of Hogans 1997 matches ended in a DQ loss due to a run in. Salty is a serious understatement. I think he lost to Luger earlier that year, but go his win (and belt) back a few days later. It was a shitshow.

>>19575210
No one cares about cirque du soleil bullshit, feuds are what drives this industry.

I read Bischoff's book years ago before he started regurgitating it line by line on podcasts, the tan thing was clearly code for "he was drugged up".

>>19575776
This post only scratches the surface, WCW was clinically retarded. Even when they were making money they were leaving piles of money on the table.

Bash at the Beach '96
Hogan turns heel and forms the nWo, this is THE hottest angle in wrestling for the next two years.

How does WCW capitalize on this at the next ppv? ...Hog Wild. A show held outdoors for FREE. A colossal expense, shipping talent, ring, etc. and they don't collect any money for it outside of ppv buys. All because Bischoff has a biker fetish.

Fine, whatever. No money for the followup ppv to the biggest heel turn in the biz. That's fine, the title still got put on Hogan, The Outsiders still came out on top, the pieces were in the correct positions... at least we'll build our heel champ and top tag team right???

1st challenger: Flair wins via DQ.
2nd challenger: Piper... oh let's make it non-title at the last second. Piper beats Hogan. Surprise. Okay, this time the title is up for grabs and Hogan wins. Standard heel stuff... I can't wait for Sting to come back and... LUGER WINS CLEAN!?!? On a free Nitro?

The whole storyline was built on Sting coming back and you swerved it to put the title on Luger for 5 days!?!? For free???

Okay, well at least you had the sense to have Luger vs Hogan round 2 at a ppv and... it's fucking Road Wild!!!! Another free show you absolute retards!

OK... title is back on Hogan at least. We have from August until December 28th to book the champ strong. DDP wins by dq. Giant wins by dq. Brilliant, Hogan is useless.

The Outsiders are still dominant right? Oh... they lost to The Steiners? Well they got it back afterwards right? Not from the Steiners? It was just a dusty finish? That's fine, at least they'll have a strong reign... Oh, they lost to Giant and Luger... but that was a dusty finish too? The Outsiders are now 3 time champions despite never actually losing? Isn't it the same reign then? Oh they lost to The Steiners again but this time for real. Cool.

>>19570707
Sting showed up looking like shit, and wrestled like shit. Should have just been a non title match and they should have kept the belt on Luger.

Shting was always a shitty wrestler and he is the cause of Rick Rude's death

>>19576039
Is Sting the most successful wrestler that relied entirely on their opponents to make them look good?

Flair, Rude, Cactus Jack, Muta, Roberts, Vader, Hogan, Savage, DDP, Styles, etc. Bumped their asses off for the man called Sting.

Whenever Sting faced mediocre wrestlers like Rollins, HHH, Goldberg, half of TNA, all of AEW, etc. he always looked mediocre.

>>19570857
nah, two of Vader's WCW matches are in my top ten

>>19573652
it's just console warriors who are mad at Sting for going to AEW (even though he went to WWE first and they just buried him).

"Smart" fans are retarded. The ONLY bad part of this match was Sting being a retarded drug addict. Sting didn't sell which made his comeback fall flat. Even though the crowd was still hot (thanks Hogan). Sting started yelling random shit like "MAMACITA" to the camera after the match. Yes, the brooding cuck that was missing and silent for a year broke his silence to yell like he was drugged out at a strip club. I'm sure these retarded smark fans will blame that on Hogan too.

>>19576222
Sting is genuinely not responsible for anything after finding out he wasn't going over

He should've come out in a clown outfit to make fun of the whole thing to be honest

>>19573652
It's a euphemism. Bischoff didn't want to shit on Sting for being on drugs.

>>19571707
He'd been in the rafters for 18 months smoking doobies and getting his jacket pooped on by Steve the crow.

>>19576245
Sting won the match, you mouth breathing retard. How did you get past the captcha?

>>19576257
NTA, but obviously he meant "going over in a clean or at least remotely logical way that doesn't fart on the 18 month buildup".

>>19576257
Yeah, I totally forgot about Sting winning the belt clean as a whistle with no hijinks, you're right. Must've memory holed it.

Well the whole thread doesn't make a lot of sense does it

>>19576267
>Sting is genuinely not responsible for anything after finding out he wasn't going over
Sting went over but because you get your information from smark youtube AI generations you didn't know that, cuck.

>>19576290
I'm 40 years old and rented Starrcade '97 and watched it with my friends. I owned both WCW/nWo World Tour and Revenge and went to two Nitros in person.

On the other hand you're a stinky smelly brown e-drone console warring over a 30 year old show

>>19576266
nWo having a crooked ref and cheating all the time didn't "fart on the 18 month buildup". Even Sting being a druggie greenhorn cuck and dropping the ball didn't "fart on the 18 month buildup". I recommend you stop watching smark youtube channels and think for yourself.

>>19576296
You're mentally ill.

>>19576362
Are you Bischoff? I've never heard a single solitary soul defend this bit of booking throughout the decades. Not one.

>>19575613
This. As Dave put it the one time he was actually right:
>Nitro's final match saw Flair and Sting, WCW's 2 most enduring stars, doing one last shortened version of the match they have done a million times. And it ended with Sting beating Flair, because even to the bitter end, they never realized that Ric Flair was always the face of WCW, not Sting.

>>19576296
You just proved you know NOTHING about what you're talking about and now you're rambling on about nonsense. You cucks always project, it's always a "smelly brown e-drone" trying to lie about the match by repeating WWF smark propaganda. You didn't even know what "going over" was but you said it because you've heard the phrase before. ChatJeetPT can't help you, you actually need a brain too.
>I'm 40 years old and rented Starrcade '97 and watched it with my friends. I owned both WCW/nWo World Tour and Revenge and went to two Nitros in person.
This claim being true is even sadder than your ChatJeetPT reality. That old and still that retarded. Wow.

>>19575967
I read this in Jim Cornette's voice and it popped me huge

>>19576398
Nothing wrong with it if the cuck greenhorn drug addict does 3 things:
1. Doesn't do drugs.
2. Sells during the match.
3. Kicks out of the pin.
The whole idea was for Sting to be screwed by the crooked nWo ref, and for Bret Hart to come in and say it's not happening again. Then Sting comes back and whoops Hogan's ass and wins. They can then do the rematch because Hogan lies about being the real winner, and Sting agrees to the rematch to finally shut him up. I know this simple storyline is too complicated for you mouth breathers to comprehend. But killing the biggest matchup in wrestling by having one squash the other I guess makes sense in the mind of smarks. Instead of getting just the biggest buyrate in their company history they were aiming for more. But the cuck greenhorn drug addict couldn't cut the mustard so they quickly had to pivot.

>>19576401
If you're making fun of me for being old at 40 when I was 12 years old during the show being discussed, you're clearly a retarded zoomer who didn't watch WCW live and has no reason to even speak on the subject

you're dismissed, kiddo

>>19576525
>Sting is genuinely not responsible for anything after finding out he wasn't going over

Abandon ChatJeetPT and go back to using Wikipedia, it will assist you in your roleplaying adventures. You'll probably still come off as a retard, but until you jump onto a freeway I'm not sure there's a way for you to avoid feeling that way.

>>19570707
It was Bret Hart's fault. He had no business being involved in that match.

>>19576524
You are actually Eric Bischoff, aren't you? Hogan was the only other person on Earth who pushed this exact line of bullshit, and he ain't posting on /pw/.

>LUGER WINS CLEAN!?!? On a free Nitro?
>The whole storyline was built on Sting coming back and you swerved it to put the title on Luger for 5 days!?!? For free???
To be fair, it was the Monday Night Wars. Both companies were doing big matches and title changes on free TV just to try and beat the other guys in the ratings that week. This is far from the only example of a big money match being given away for free back then, and the week-to-week booking for the sake of trying to spike TV ratings getting in the way of longer-term booking.

>>19575967
>LUGER WINS CLEAN!?!? On a free Nitro?
kino that is better than anything WWF has done since

>>19577843
>since
That's the key part. For a year prior to august '97 WWF has been kino especially on building up Stone Cold and he was so over to the point that the only final touches they needed was cultivating Vince's character and a Mike Tyson celebrity boost and that got them on level terms with WCW. The fact that WCW couldn't finish them off before Wrestlemania 14 spelled their doom, WWF would always come out on top in a long-term attritional war because their trajectory was more sustainable. The monday night war's peak was in January 1999, that's when Raw and Nitro's combined viewership reached its highest point. From there WCW's unraveling began and WWF could afford to run shitty angles like the ministry, put the title on shitters like Triple H, and finally have the company publicly traded which Vince wanted to do for years. Raw's ratings were artifically inflated throughout 1999-2000 due to defections from Nitro, but they couldn't absorb all of WCW's decline as wrestling in general steadily lost popularity.

hey Eric, I'm the guy who gave you the idea for RAF. Thank you for making it happen. no, you don't owe me anything. now let me give you one more piece of advice: get your wrestlers some gimmicks! I mean realistic gimmicks that will make these athletes into interesting characters. that's the only thing you're lacking now.

>>19575613
No clue. Sting was nothing more than a glorified midcarder no idea why they had him beating the entire nwo solo all the time

>>19570707
This was the single the moment that killed WCW and it was solely because the unprofessional dumbass sting was drugged out of his mind and forgot to kick out and also he should’ve at least worked out before the match too and showed up semi presentable

>>19576524
Its the pivot where wcw screwed up. Bischoff didn't make sure everyone was on the same page creatively & the finished sucked.

>>19578882
Sting was just as if not more over than Hogan, kys wolfie

>>19570707
fuck stink hogan was right for not wanting to drop a title to that shitter

>>19578882
>glorified midcarder
Before the Hogan NWO stuff he was THE babyface going against the 4 Horsemen you dumb zoomer.

The ending was janky and fucked up but so were 95% of every wcw fucking match. How are people still talking about it to this day? EVERY fucking match was stupid shit like this back then.

>>19578995
Because it is one of the moments that truly exposed how shit things were in WCW at the time. And it only got worse.

>>19578995
The whole point is that match was supposed to be a payoff.

>>19578982
Oh he was going against the midcarder faction of last their prime 50 year olds? You don’t say

>>19571450
Hogan was 44 btw. We can perhaps understand Bischoff's anxiety in real time, but we have hindsight and we saw where WCW ended up sinking to with Hogan getting what he wants.

generation "z" here, would this have been like cody not going over clean v reigns at wm40

>>19579295
It doesn't really have a parallel. You live in the post-relevance period of wrestling where WWE can do whatever the fuck they want without paying any price for it. Back then the stakes were sky high.

1998 was a bigger year so did it really matter?

>>19570707
>How did they drop the ball so badly?

Hogan having creative control. That's it you could never actually get anyone over and end a story so long as Hogan was on top and had creative control.

Starrcade 97 threw away a long build, but Goldberg’s win over Hogan in 98 was a bigger deal even if they had executed the Sting title win flawlessly

>>19580545
It was bigger thanks to the growth they had in 1997. It slowed down in '98, WWF had the momentum, and by early '99 Nitro rating started to outright decline.

>>19570707

Hogan was right to big league that anti draw shitter. The fact that they had to book around Sting not even being champion for even a month after starcade just showed you how much they think of Stinko the anti draw was gonna tank business.

Isn't it funny how druggy Stink had the same thing happen to him but the roles were reversed many years later in TNA facing Juff

The only reason obese smelly smarks love Stinko so much is because they only romanticize the idea of him not going to WWE for the longest time to stick it to le bad fed. Other than that he is literally everything that smarks hate in a wrestler. Shit promo, shit worker, anti draw, no charisma. A career stinky shitter

I have no idea where this Sting hating meme started but you guys have some seriously retarded opinions and your opinions don't line up with reality or historical fact.

>>19582434
hating Sting literally goes back to the early days of wrestling forums. Even the smarks godfather Meltzer hated him and made the case against him to be inducted into his HOF for the longest time until he and his voters ran out of notable legends and pity voted him in, funnily only after he got into WWE, as if to say he finally made it to the big leagues, that's enough to have him in my HOF now LMAO. He's the definition of KWAB

Sting got over because he got booked against the biggest star and angle of all-time with a gimmick that was given to him. He was hardly on TV (he was at home getting high), it was Hogan drawing all of the heat for him. It's no wonder that Sting ended up blowing it.

Sting was HATED even up until his TNA days. Especially since he refused to put people over. The 180 switch from these geeks is hilarious, but typical. They just repeat crap they've heard before and are retards that don't even understand the basics of wrestling. Sting is 100% to blame for Starrcade 1997. But I still respect him for not throwing others under the bus for his own mistakes like that cuck Bret Hart does.

the hulkster gave his all to wrestling and you stinker fans are retarded, even in his final days hulk drew more than sting every could, this man is pure dimes, stink is an anti-draw

>>19583247
and then what? End the nWo storyline, cancel Nitro and just go back to Saturday Night shows?

>>19583335
living the gimmick

It will never not be funny that the 1 year Sting was a draw was also in large part because the company had to make him not show up and not speak to mask all his weakness kek

>>19586235
Crazy how you say that when we have hindsight to show us how awful WCW turned out to be after Hogan got what he wanted. nWo had to end at some point, this anon >>19571574 presented a pretty smooth transition for it too. Nitro could in fact compete with Raw even after the nWo, people often forget that Nitro was already doing decent even before the Hogan heel turn

>>19586265
However it was a gimmick and story he came up with.
>Everything was handed to him on a silver platter

>>19580984
Gay ass nigga. I'd rape the fuck out of you if I didn't think you'd enjoy it so much

>>19586287
That post is dumb as fuck and has no plans for Sting as champion. That’s the most important part and he doesn’t talk about it. Not to mention the small fact that Sting couldn’t work and was a drug addict on top of that. All he can come up with is that it’s imperative to get the belt back on Hogan. But not before he kills his heat by having Sting squash him twice and ends the hottest angle in wrestling history. And then we’re supposed to be excited for Goldberg/Hogan? That guy should work for WWE with this heat sapping garbage booking. But at least he didn’t try and insert that cuck Bret Hart like the geek smarks usually do.

You know the answer, brother.

>Sting in the 80s
>generic 80s action movie protagonist

>Sting in the 90s/2000s
>wholesale copied an entire movie's protagonist

>Joker Sting
>same as 90s/2000s Sting

His entire career is one big plagiarism

>that post is dumb as fuck
Not as dumb as what they ended up doing which saw their company crash and burn in a few short years.

>>19587171
Kek what a fraud

>>19587372
>no answers
No, what they did was definitely better than doing nothing with their new champion and killing off Hogan and Sting. Cuck detected, I’ve never seen so many of you ran out of a single thread

>>19588966
Killing off Hogan and nwo*

Sting haters are legit mentally ill

>>19588966
>kill off Hogan and nWo
>must get the belt back on Hogan so he can put over Goldberg
Smarks are fucking retarded.

the cucks ran like roaches

1990 and 1997.
Going with Sting when Lex Luger was right there.
They never learned.
And it cost them.

>>19587171
at least his name was original

>>19570707
how did Sting even earn a title shot after not wrestling since the fall of 1996?
why did he give the worst performance of his career in the biggest match of his career? who does that?

Get a clizzue

>>19570707
face facts. Sting Stunk at Starrcade.

>>19590389
he's a WWF mark

Sting pretty much always sucked aside from the Flair matches (DUH IT'S RIC FLAIR) and the Steiners vs Luger and Sting match.

>>19570857
Vader vs Flair at Starrcade 93 is an all timer

Why did Sting always have a ribbed padded cock piece? And it always stuck out too.

KBwrestling Starcade Review ovah here.

Hogan was carrying WCW through it's finest hours beating WWF, while Sting was sitting on his ass. Hogan was right not to want to put over Sting.

This whole idea that Hogan's heel turn and the nWo existed just to put over Sting, so they could go back to the same shit that they were doing when they were 2nd rate behind WWF is nonsense.

And this Starcade had nothing to do with WCW going out. They had higher ratings in '98, and even higher ratings in the first 4 months of '99. Truth be told, they started going downhill when the nWo had a series of departures in the spring of '99, and Hulk left.

>>19591499
True, true, true, and true. But it's worth noting that these retarded cucks live in a false reality.
