Sting and Luger was always my favorite of his tag partners.
Look at the way you said that. Your grammar makes it look like Sting and Luger is one person..
I almost expect a resurgence of Chuck Norris jokes but with Sting instead. Like...
When Sting walks through the rain.
He doesn't get wet.
The rain gets Stung.
Sting is the main and biggest reason why I became a wrestling fan as a kid. His early matches with blonde hair and colourful tights and moves blew me away Long Live the ICON STING
Bret Hart is my favorite wrestler. With that being said, he said that "nothing WCW did in 1997 could compare" to his angles in 1997: I respectfully disagree. Sting's evolution as the crow is the best story arch WCW ever did, and arguably the best in the business, period. I'd hate to use the over used u-word, but Bret's 1997 work is underrated, but the crow evolution was in a class by itself.
@@_dark_170 nothing against bret he is a Canadian Icon the best there ever will be
I'll forever be mad at Vince for how he treated WCW tops stars in 2001. We could have had Sting v Undertaker at WrestleMania 2002.
Not just Vince.
Triple H as well
God forbid a WCW talent was more popular/ over than a WWE wrestler. Sting knew VINCE WOULD NEVER GIVE HIM A FAR SHAKE. THAT WHY HE DID NOT SIGN AFTER VKM PURCHASED WCW. AND WHEN HE DID SIGN WITH THE COMPANY....MANY YEARS LATER
THEY SCREWED HIM....JUST LIKE HE KNEW THEY WOULD.
SHOULD OF STUCK WITH HIS GUT FEELING.
STING WILL FOREVER BE WCW. BAD MANAGEMENT & STUPID CONTRACTS, & HORRIBLE STORYLINES. DOOMED THE COMPANY. STEVE BORDEN AKA STING. WILL BE FOREVER LOVED BY MILLIONS THAT WATCHED HIM.
In all honesty, Sting would probably have died if he went to wwe in 2001. He was addicted to pain killers. He talks about this publicly, and stated that the time off saved his life.
Sting's contact was the reason for that. Vince McMahon had nothing to do with it. He even teased Sting on the simulcast on March 26, 2001.
*contract.
you forgot his most famous pre-WCW fame tag team with Rick Steiner (before he'd join scott in the The Steiner Brothers) in the UWF
"IT.S STING!!" 🦂
If you didn't know this, it must be your first day as a wrestling fan.
Rick Steiner & Sting in the UWF.
I will always get hyped for the stinger.
Didnt watch the stinger much when i was a kid but i always knew of him. Glad i was able to see his actual retirement about 30 minutes from where i live
Matt Damon was actually the third member with Warrior and Sting as the Ragin’ Bodacious Bros
He also met the other sting the musician/lead singer of the band the police 1:20 that's the other guy in this photograph.
Sting tag team with Booker T aka Stang was lit
Don't u ever call Ready to Rumble a mess
Another man of high culture, I see.
Black Crew Cut, No Paint Heel Sting would have been interesting...
and on the level of Ripple Effects think of what that does to WCW's Booking for the next two years...
Another fun fact that wasn’t mentioned: Sting was also a member of The Four Horsemen
Sting did wrestle Stone Cold Steve Austin, but he did in WCW as Stunning Steve Austin ,look it up .
Sure but in the world of wrestling, they're treated as two different people. SCSA isn't the same entity as Stunning Steve. Sting also wrestled the Undertaker when he was Mean Mark Callous but the Icon never wrestled the Deadman.
Sting beat Austin so many times in WCW. It was like watching Brady vs. the NFL !
You forgot the video for Islander's "Crazy Crazy World"
Darby said in an interview today that Stings son Stephen is now training to wrestle.
(The one who wore the Wolfpack paint at sting’s retirement match and did those super high stinger splashes)
He will always be my favorite! I'm so happy I got to attend Revolution with my son!
Ready to Rumble was a damn good movie. Not a “mess”.
Honestly, I never wanted to see Sting bs 'Taker. I wanted to see Sting and 'Taker vs everyone else. Kane was great, but Sting was perfect to be 'Taker's in-ring other half. Their styles would have been perfectly complimentary, and Sting's faster pace and technical move set would have been the perfect balance to 'Taker's slower, more power based arsenal. Had they paired, and added Kane as a thord, they would have had the makings of an absolutely bonkers faction/stable.
A Sting/Taker tag team sounds like it would've been amazing!
@@stlfatman man, I used to fantasize about that pairing. I even made up storylines for them during the Corporate Ministry days, where Sting and 'Taker were pulling strings behind Vince's back, and were actually working to take him down. I was devastated when Sting went to TNA, instead of WWE, because I knew I'd never get to see it happen.
Sting didn't have a technical moveset.
@@matthewtrauger3683 you didn't watch much of early Sting, then.
The only thing for sure about Sting is that nothing's for sure. Taker couldn't hang. I'm sorry.
Sting is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and one of my favorite wrestlers as well.
If it wasn't for Sting, I probably wouldn't of ever cared about wrestling. It was always on and I never paid attention. Then WCW vs NWO Revenge came out, and the intro video to the game got my attention!
I remember watching sting when wcw first started when the iron shiek was in wcw with his wooden work out things
Favourite tag partner is Davey Boy Smith (loved Davey). During that period, those vignettes from the beach involding Sid and Vader were hilarious lol.
Ric Flair simply because while teaming up with Sting he did a double turn "during the f**king match" and the best part Sting actually believed that Ric won't betray him despite the writing being inevitable....... because it's Ric Flair
But his reaction was great, he got up immediately and grabbed Ric by the throat (he said he'd kill him if he DID just betray him) and gets attacked by Arn and Pillman, and the three-on-one commences; they had Sting giving Ric the benefit of the doubt (due to his upstanding character) yet did not make him act surprised, and as a result he came across as a hero, not an idiot. Flair still needed Arn and Brian to protect him, and this was one of the endless betrayals that eventually created the impetus for the Crow gimmick a year later...
"Oh, Sting...You idiot."
My favorite tag team partner for Sting will always be Lex Luger.
My favorite tag team partners RoboCop
0:50 I think "Penultimate Warrior" is more fitting in this case. 😂
If Sting had gone to wwe right away he would have been jobbed out to Taker at Wrestlemania, HHH on PPV, and pretty much anybody else that was a big wwe name the.n. Not like he went there and got jobbed out to HHH at WM anyway, right?
I remember when sting started wrestling. Missy Hyatt and Eddie Gilbert brought sting age 18 and Rick Steiner age 19 in 1985 to original NWA and not long after they came near tag team champs.
Sting was not 18 in 1985. Crazy lied here.
I been watching wrestling for 49-50 years. And what is on the web bout like the OG NWA was actually started in 1912 and WWF/WWE actually in 1965.
And it don't say none of that now on the web. And have noticed a bunch of stuff been left out or changed. So you can't tell me that on sting. I seen NWA, awa, wccw, uwf, WCW which were pretty much the only ones round at that time. Then WWF/WWE bought uwf and NWA bought awa and wccw then in 1990 something WCW bought NWA. I should know cuz I seen.
sting did a commercial once for a wcw credit card "because money is no object." so he's like the million dollar man and spent wcw money because again money is no object. 😂
I respect the fact that Sting didn't want to make the jump when WCW ended because he most likely would have been buried just like he was when he finally did show up. I can only imagine the amazing matches and interactions he could have had, had he been a part of the Invasion and they actually used him properly.
I know everyone hates on the Ready to Rumble movie but, tbh i really enjoyed it for what it was, not saying it was good just entertaining in general.
Sting wore a bandanna? That's insane I never knew that.
I knew about them all but the music video appearance in 89. Still a neat list
I Always Wondered If The Wrestler Sting Knew or Met The Singer Sting.. Now I Know, Pretty Awesome I Would Say .
it's Robocop, obviously, that's my favorite partner of Sting
1:10 Vampiro 😊
I can seriously imagine Crow Sting being nuclear over as an NWO leader.. In fanfiction :D
So glad I was at Revolution 🎉
I'm glad I dropped the 50 bucks it took for me watch on Bleacher Report since I live nowhere near Greensboro. I was finally on time for something historic.
Sting would have been booked to go over taker I suspect making Vince not want to do it.
I remember when he was lead singer of The Police.
Sting wasn't the first choice for the lead role in Shutterspeed. The film went through a rough development over a few years. The original plot depicted the main protagonist meeting and falling for a woman named Betsy. They started dating right away and slept together. But the morning after, the protagonist was alone and went to Betsy's place to see her, only to be met by an old woman, who told him Betsy had been dead for 10 years. So he went on a journey to track her down and solve this mystery.
Long before Sting got the lead role in Shutterspeed, Italian-American Actor Joey Tribbiani was cast as the main protagonist. But the money wasn't coming in, and by the time Tribbiani showed up on set, production had to close down, and he was left in the Las Vegas Desert.
Number 12 just proves that Sting is one of the most legendary tag wrestlers ever. And yeah his WWE run wasn't the best but even there he had tag bouts with the likes of John Cena. And recency bias my favourite tag partner of Sting is Darby Allin.
Sting was the original American Badass lol
I loved when Sting & Roseanne sang the national anthem together
2:56
Also home of SuperBrawl 4 and 3 Nitros
He has been In some "Pure flicks" kinda funy
Muta is my favorite Sting tag partner. Just like Muta.
Damion priest on walker Texas ranger also
kinda wish Sting did give WWE a big run. but i know that Sting did not want to sign a contract with WWE. WWE offered alot of money for Sting to sign a contract with WWE. but Sting did not do it. because he wanted to remain a free agent too sign on to any other independent circuit other then WWE.
I been watching wrestling for a very long time. So I know when I saw him brought to og NWA. And what was said. I don't know if the announcers was just lying or not but that is the age the announcers had announced in 1985.
Everyone had the sting galoob figure!
10:34 SMH that's old C U Next Tuesday hated WCW so much that winning everything wasn't enough he had to buy their workers just to humiliate them and cost him money
We all know that wrestling match between sting and triple h should have ended with sting winning. The writers mainly Vince McMahon probably wanted to have one last day at their biggest competition ever and if there was anybody that was deserving of a big victory in the eyes of the WCW fans it should have been sting
By the way still looks good at that age after all those wars with the best 🏆☝️💯🦂🦂🦂🇺🇸💯💯🏆🏆😎😎
KEWLLLLLLLLLL❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If things would have gone differently, would we have gotten Crow Hulk Hogan or Cro-gan?
"That just doesn't work for me, brother."
Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert
❤ Hey BUDDY, OFCOURSE The #1 partner of STINGER was with BLADE RUNNERS, ( ROCK) ULTIMATE WARRIOR. ,,, 🎉🎉
I like to think that Sting didn't beat up that child for the money in the Sprite advert, I want to believe that Sting kicked seven shades of shit out of him because it was both easy and fun. The money was just a little bonus.
If Sting had joined the nWo, they would've been even BIGGER than they were
He was with the NWO.
Sting also teamed with Rick Steiner
This should be called "12 things most every wrestling fan knows about Sting"
Greatest ever.
Darby allen
Sting and luger was awesome!!!!!
Sting does not have a stinger even though his name suggests he might actually sting...
Ready to rumble was a good movie
imagine Triple h takes over when Sting debut. His run would of been way better
My favorite wrestler of all time love everything fucking things that man endure in and thru the business 💯👍☝️☝️😎🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🤙🏆🏆🏆 straight up one of the original goats any argument screw off 🦂🦂🦂 Sting always 💯🙏☝️🏆🇺🇸🔥
All I know about sting is He is a BMF GOAT!!!!!!!!!
The ultimate warrior
Stiiiiiiiiing
His WWE run was so bad, they had the Icon Sting & managed to mess it up. He should’ve won at WM against Triple H & definitely should’ve beat Seth for the WWE title at Night of Champions.
Sting and Robocop
RoboCop
Ultimate warrior
Davey boy Smith
Sting rules 🤘🏻🇺🇸☘️⚡️⚡️
By wwe fans? Sting was great with the us title but I would say Luger was best US Champ
Steve Borden is 1-0 vs Marc Calloway - LOOK IT UP!!!
NWA tag team champs
Honestly I can say he is my fav wrestler. WWE f'ed up with Sting.
We can sum up Sting's WWE tenure in one phrase: Vince was a petty bitch. Given how he turned the product around, I'm pretty damn confident that if Hunter had been charge back then, Sting would've been treated a helluva lot better. Sting was supposed to win Clash of Champions to make up for Wrestlemania but after the neck injury, Seth had to take the win. dun know about anyone else but Sting's a lot more forgiving and nonchalant about his WWE run than the rest of us, TBH.
Darby Allin's my favorite of Sting's tag partners. Those two made magic and you can thank Darby for getting Sting into the ring on camera because he knew Sting could still go in front of a live audience at a time when they weren't sure if he could.
Everyone knew number, not really a good bombshell to end on
Sting is the icon True 🦂🦂🦂
If you ever watched sting in the 90's you followed his career and knew this stuff. Sorry what culture but you get a lot of stuff wrong and then state the obvious on the correct stuff.
isKenny Ameo ok
🎉
I am so glad Sting wasn’t the leader of the NWO. Hogan needed to be heel
Darby allin
Wwe having hhh going over 🦂 at wrestle mania was the worse thing ever Vince believe that no one would want to see the undertaker 🪦 vs sting 🦂 match
Did you know his a singer
As soon as you said "Stiiiiiiiiiiing", I paused the video to tell you that you got my view, but I went no further than ten seconds. You guys can try to be something at any time..
RE #4 - the phrase is "Halls of Fame" not hall of fames🙄
Like "Son Of A Bitches"? Got it... 🤣🤣
In my opinion 1 in top 10 kept it real as the stinger just lick hulkamania and the woooooooooo undertaker dead man the rock mick Foley the stinger bottom line
Sting is the GOAT!!!!! Screw you for not knowing that. Rollins wasn't safe with Sting and injured his neck and put him out of wrestling. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!!!!!
Who's stIng?
