Erik Watts is a really nice guy, how the fuck did he ever turn out that way with Bill Watts as a father.
Is Gilbert the son of the late Doug Gilbert?
Give us that Black Bart shoot interview.
@@billywilliams8753 You probably already know by now friend. But Doug is the kid brother of “Hot Stuff” Eddie Gilbert. I believe their Daddy was Tommy Gilbert. Eddie was a great wrestling mind that we lost far too soon.
Sting is the quintessential “icon”. Since I was a 90’s kid watching WCW, he was always my favorite. Even after NJPW, WWE, ROH, TNA, all of it, Sting remained my favorite. He’s always done it the right way and cares about us as fans.
Sting and Steamboat are two guys you rarely hear a negative word about
Owen Hart and Eddie Guerrero also
@@radentstwo9793 Yep. Never heard anything bad about them
@@billywilliams8753
Don't forget Taker.
Same with New Jack.
But for other reasons
And Owen Hart.
Always happy to hear great words on The Stinger.
Sting is an ICON and he definitely deserved a better run in WWE than the one he was given, he should have been given a run with the WWE Title! RIP Scott Hall 🙏
AJ is a role model if I've ever seen one. Truly a good guy and very nice to fans.
I met Styles and had my pic taken with him and Samoa Joe when they did a TNA show. They were good to me but it was a brief interaction.
Same with Christopher.
@@Nepthu same here. I met Aj, Joe, Daniels and others at a TNA show in South Carolina.
@@TheTrixster690 yeah he is
Yes he is
WWE should have had Sting win his match against HHH. Sting was every bit the star HHH was if not more. If WWE had any respect for the business they would have let him win his last match. He got disrespected going to WWE. I know most of the people in that stadium wanted him to win.
Vince had to have that last
"WWE is better than wcw" moment
No..Vince should not have let Triple H try to steal the spotlight..it should have been Sting vs Undertaker
That wasn’t his last match though.
HHH has always been my favorite guy for a long time but I agree , sting should of won that . Sting is wwwaaayyy bigger star and should of won and deserved to win .
@@15jstone Yeah, he went on to lose a couple more.
Famous last words from Chris Daniels: “Vince Russo came and told me, this is what we’re gonna do to get you over...”😂
You forgot about 5 "bros" in Shit Stain statement.
Eric Fouch shit stain is like the secret password to the Cult 😂
@DimebagVision Heel's always get over even if they lose tbh as long as they are a good heel., it's not about winning the match its about winning the crowd.
Christopher Daniels should've asked Russo so what happened to getting me over Dumbfuck? but Christopher Daniels is more professional than that
@@Carelock Just remember there is only one cult member, otherwise JC wouldn't be using the one he's got.
It's sad that Scott Hall's issues might have stopped him from a World Title run. Guy was legit back then and has always been a great mind for the business as well. Gosssssh imagine his cocky ass with a World Championship around his waist? Biggest heel ever.
Biggest missed opportunity in wrestling.
Yeah, looking at his matches in the 80's and early 90's, he's got a really sound technique and a good mind for the flow of a match
He did win the intercontinental championship a few times when he was feuding with Michaels
He was over also wwf/WWE would've pulled it off
Scott didn't care about being World Champion...
Sting was my hero... He was the coolest ... When I was a kid in the 80s He was Like "the guy" ! Always knew he seemed like a good person as well. Sting for Pres!
Neal Feldpausch kinda like what Aliester Black is now to this generation
@@thetryer6858 I must admit I do not watch very often now a days. I did however just catch Aliestar Black and Seth Rollins a month or two ago on Raw.
I idolized Sting as a kid, but I preferred his persona before the Crow days. His physique was too good to hide behind a trench coat.
@@Nepthu Yes I agree. When he changed to the Crow gimmick he was still the guy to me... But not the same as the bright paints and colorful ring attire and crew cut blonde hair. It was the era as well. He made it work with the times.
@@nealfeldpausch715 they had a pretty decent match didnt they
Sting reminds me of the Undertaker so much. They both are leaders of the locker room, they both have respect of their peers without demanding it, they both are stand up guys who only want best for the buisness. Its absolutely amazing hearing about those two.
Crazy we never got a match between them. Huge missed opportunity.
Geez. That damn Doug Gilbert needs to let shit go. Seemed like complained for that entire shoot about guys he felt owed him something.
It's great to see a healthy Scott Hall doing an interview.
Agree, Scott is doing a lot better...
Sting is proof that you don't need McMahon money to be an icon and loved in the business.
Daniels trying to make sense of Russo booking is one of the saddest things I've ever seen.
I started watching Wrestling in the late 90's and we only had access to WCW.
I knew who Hulk Hogan was but he held no true meaning to me especially since he was heel by the time I started watching.
But Sting was the man back then.
I love how that curly haired guy talks about how sting got beat up & dunked in a toilet...sting was sticking up for a girl who was with an abusive boyfriend...
Sting Is my favorite pro wrestler of all time my era of wrestling 80s
"The Man Called Sting"!!! and ya gotta love Black Bart's cat...
Some of these guys sure do ramble.
That's what happens when you abuse dope
The amount wrestlers bump their heads its a mircle they can form a sentense lol
@@jeremyoreilly1710"The amount wrestlers bump their heads its a mircle they can form a sentense lol" - Jeremy O
YOU PASSED THE 4th GRADE?!??!?! DAMN.
Probably the reason promos are scripted now.
@@juicelord9321 it's a miracle you have any cognizant thought. Lame ass attempt at as subterfuge, fuckknuckle
Smothers drove 200 miles to get to a destination 1 mile away
How do you feel about getting a rusty blumpkin in the porta potty at my work? 🏳️🌈
Always loved Christopher Daniels most over he got was with aj as tag champs and when he saved fortune
The two best interviews were from black Bart and Eric Watts.
Buff Bagwell still in good shape
I tired to help him out. I handed him the bat and he did not use it-Scott Hall everybody, still the bad guy we know and love.
Bret Hart at Royal Rumble and Sting at Uncensored, I think he is right, I can't think of another world ttitle match he got, that is crazy to think about
Crazy thing... In the thumbnail, Scott Hall's face still looks good for his age... If he were only inshape... 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
💪STING !
The 2nd dude lying his ass off!!
He also tweaking his ass off. He is rambling and each story has several side stories. His eyes are dilated. For some reason I had trouble listening to him because he was whistling his words.
Stinger is my number one ☝️
Doug Gilbert is salty as hell. He complains about everybody. "My aunt's cousin's second cousin once did so and so's dry cleaning and then 20 years later he acted like he doesn't know me". That's because nobody remembers you chump!
Basically the same thing he did with the Undertaker. The stuff he saying is quite petty. Hey his feelings were hurt over some small things
???
Esteban Khan so it not just me!
@@game382 yeah that guy is mad as hell becuz The Undertaker and Sting are highly respected Legends and he's always been left on read
Dude... I came here to say this and you said it for me haha
AJ Styles is obviously a smart dude with fantastic taste in college football teams! Go Dawgs!
I always wanted to see Blackman get his hands on Slater.
Buff's still on the stuff!
BUFF.....DADDDY!
Say what you will about hall, but he was never a shellfish person when in came to wrestling. He never bitched or complained about wanting some prop world titles belt, because he understood that your performance in the ring got you over and got you paid.
Hall was PISSED when a “comedian” joked about Owen’s death......he may have been drunk, but he was completely right
20:46 - tiger kings beefed up a bit
😂
How recent is the shoot on Scott Hall, he looks great
R f video rules ! Title match network rules🤟🙌
Doug Gilbert, what the fuck bro?! 🤣🤣💀
All around great guy I knew and this confirmed it
I just recently listened to Cornette basically smearing Sting. I think I lost a little bit of respect for the guy. Sting is the one guy who is just the real fucking deal.
Cornette shits on everyone
This sounds like a bunch of jealous dudes wanting to talk about themselves
Whooop! Wake up, coffee, ps4 and shoot vid compilation! There’s a beard hair in my coffee but i can get passed that.
*past
Amen to that brother, no better way to start the day 👍🏻
Nice way to start the day bit of the icon and coffee. Mans off to a nice day. ENJOY
I need more tracy smothers interviews
He is pretty great
John Matuszak was 6'-7" at best. Anyhow, Dick Slater was badass for sure.
AJ styles is such a class act!!
LMAO, that is vince russo booking haha
Doug Gilbert is awesome. I loved him and his brother, Eddie!
"And everything"...
ok. i know im going to get mocked for this...but who in the hell is the last guy on this video with the bandanna around his neck and camo shirt? i have no clue.
Don't knock him for getting saved and following Christ smh..
Every single time you that, it says more about you than the person you're throwing shade on
Really want to see sting in AEW even if not wrestling or 1 last run on TNT then retire. It would just feel right compared to the dumpster fire wwe tried.
You got your wish! Wooooooo!!! AEW...
I've not seen a singal guy saying 1 negative thing about sting
Like 2 people
Jonny sins is a man of many talents
13:30 that "Old Testament God" cliché if anything is proven as He is the author of nature and nature testifies of it's Creator. Daniels sounds like Marcion.
Icon, franchise, 4 years straight won most popular wrestler over hogan.hhh couldn't lace stings boots
Eric Watts is like David Brent
The guy in the Michigan State red shirt popped into the screen I thought for sure that it was sting without the paint after discovering weed
Does anyone speak Black Bart?
I met Sting at a Big Time Wrestling event a few years back. It was only for a couple of minutes but I felt like a kid again and he was so chill. I was nervous so I went in for a quick handshake and kinda latched onto his hand and he was basically like hey let's try that again I didn't get a good enogh handshake in. Like he really wanted to shake my hand properly man to man. I had thanked him for the years he entertained me and everyone else and he was nothing but smiles and was humble. Very respectful and a nice guy. I said it once and I'll say it again. I'm so happy and glad one of my childhood heros turned out to be an actual nice person. I hope his run in AEW is a good one and he can officially retire on a good note and in good health. Sting was, still is and will always be my all time favorite wrestler.
Growing up i was a huge sting fan my room was wrestling pic and posters every where mostly sting stuff when my brother moved out I had two rooms with the stuff everywhere sting was a icon to me
Sting is in the same category as The Undertaker, no one has a bad word to say about how they carried themselves backstage or in the ring.
Both treating everyone equal.
We've heard for years how when Undertaker would arrive at shows he would shake everyone's hand backstage and treat everyone the same, regardless if they were wrestling the nights opening dark match, or the main event.
Sting is the same, both are absolute icons in a very cut throat business.
The one match that I can only imagine....Taker vs. Stinger
Someone copied the top part of your comment and posted it lmao
@@Gerald-of-Riviera I wonder if people like that steal food out of dumpsters behind restaurants
Sting is much much much much bigger than Undertaker. When Undertaker was a jobber mean mark in WCW Sting already was a huge star and champion. Sting is in one league with Rick Flair or Dusty Rhodes of Hulk Hogan, and Udertaker just dont
Sting doesn't care about his "spot" he cares about the actual business. He'll be the underdog, the heel, the badass. He does his job, and the only time I saw him lose his shit was Victory Road when they MADE a messed up Jeff Hardy try to wrestle.
Even then he was very reserved but it was one of the only times you could see him visibly upset and disappointed.
He only cares about putting on a good show. That's why he was so good. If more guys were like that, wcw might have survived.
Met Steve Borden at a Mall in Georgia back in 2000. Best three hours spent with that man, who prayed and loved on me.
Absolutely amazing man.
That is part of his testimony.
Sting is an icon!
Justin Rios THE Icon
You won't get an argument from me👍
I'm a truck driver, and I've heard multiple stories of drivers delivering stuff to Sting's house. They have all to a man said that Sting is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
@Matt Bradley and you say this because?? Man,you don't know me. Furthermore, I don't have any reason to lie to you.
@Matt Bradley
You troll skills suck
Fuck off back to Fuckedville dickhead!
Matt Bradley smark
@Lee Bower and he’s never allowed you to lick it up off the ground after dropping a load on you either huh
@Lee Bower and never allows to lick the crack nor the taint oh so sad
Vince screwed::: Bret Hart
Vince screwed::: Mick Foley
Vince screwed::: Big Poppa Pump
Vince screwed::: Rey Mysterio Jr
Vince screwed::: Jim Ross
Vince screwed::: STING
Stay Away From The WWE You Will Be Screwed Also.
Wow! I haven't seen Scott Hall since his really "messed up" days! He seems so clear and articulate. Good for him!
Sting is truly an icon in the world of wrestling. There’s certain wrestling personalities that will live on forever and Sting is one of them.
Tracy Smothers Sting story:
1986
3:18 "they hurt guys in the territory"
3:22 "I worked with them in Tennessee before that a lot I had no problems I don't know.."
6:25 "this is what I heard"
6:28 "he said to Sting I heard you fu*ked around with my girl.."
6:36 "I think maybe Slater was abusive to her I don't know"
6:57 "I heard Slater just nailed him, Sting never saw it coming"
Well, sounds to me that Tracy Smothers heard more than he can confirm his own eyes saw.
It seems if the story is true that Dick Slater sucker punched Sting.
June 2004, Slater was convicted of attacking his former girlfriend, Theresa Halbert. On December 27, 2003, it was reported that Slater had stabbed Halbert with a butcher's knife.
So from what I got from the story is that Dick was a real dick by being abusive to Dark Journey, sucker punched Sting and tried to murder his former girlfriend Theresa Halbert with a knife.
One thing is for sure, if Slater would behave abusive to one of Big Poppa Pump's freaks he would be torn apart.
Also if that shit would happen in WCW, Bischoff would just send out Meng/Haku to humble him after that he would for sure be a changed man.
I was thinking the same thing
Sting is 10 times more the mega star than any wwe "entertainer" combined.
Easy now not even close haha
Sting is the man shame hunter buried him
Be fair. HHH learned from “I lost my smile” Michaels lol.
@@tomvu1470 very true
@@jonmitchell9019 I'm sure sting would have preferred a big win at mania then the money. He ain't exactly hard up.
@@jayshilariouschanneljay3127 He could have said no to the money 🤷🏻♂️
@@jonmitchell9019 True enough. Course, how many people could HHH carry in his prime? He was a solid wrestler but he was the guy OTHER guys in their prime carried. For whatever faults Michaels had, he could pretty much carry anybody in his prime...How old was CM Punk when HHH burried him? Only my opinion of course. Should've had Sting putting over a up & coming guy vs a guy that was also past his prime (granted, not to the same extent as Sting). Wasted (again, IMHO).
Sting is in the same category as The Undertaker, no one has a bad word to say about how they carried themselves backstage or in the ring.
Both treating everyone equal.
There is one who doesn't sing praises for Sting, that would be Vampiro.
I was a fan of their feud in WCW but for some reason Vampiro has heat with Sting.
It should been sting that broke takers streal
@@josephsmithmeyer1195 Probably nobody should have beaten the streak. And if someone absolutely had to beat the streak it shouldn't be somone that didn't need the rub, neither Lesnar or Sting needed to beat taker to be over.
If it absolutely had to be broken they should have given it to some up and comer, unfortunately because WWE have forgotten how to make stars there hasn't been a genuine up and comer for a very long time.
Well, undertaker buried cm punk for not wanting to wear a suit but okay
@@jbwolf4 What they don't understand is Undertaker is a company man, he's a yes man. He has some pull but unfortunately he doesn't use it. He just goes with what the company wants. He's an amazing wrestler, a legend in the business.
I find Black Bart's simplicity refreshing.
It’s amazing how many haters that are in this business. The only thing bad they can bring up is Sting messing with Slater’s old lady. RIP Dick Slater
@ most of the people are giving a second hand sucker punch story from someone who was suspected to havd been abusive to Dark Journey.
But, no one gives a fuck about that. So, fuck off.
Wow, didnt know Slater had passed away
Slater's dead?
@@MrT571 who's Slater?
@@Bobby.2000 Dirty Dick Slater. Wrestler from the 80s and 90s. Legendary for his orneriness
This makes me feel so bad for Christopher Daniels. Glad him and Sting (and pretty much everyone else) got out of there.
Although the way things stand, some of them might be headed back.
Good luck to Sting, EY, Spud, EC3, Kurt, and anyone else who escaped from TNA just to get shafted by WWE. Hang tough, bros.
Chris is doing I think it's the booking for the tag teams in AEW now plus wrestling. Glad for him WcW was way to crowded. Like the WWE is now.
Theres other options out there other than Impact at this point. and guys like Angle can retire.
Samoan Joseph don’t forget Ganderson
Yeah Vince was waiting a long time to stick it to Sting. Finally got him to WWE, had Seth Rollins hurt him, and then he had HHH bury him.. A legend, An icon, The definition of a true Wrestler and Vince buried him from the moment he stepped into the WWE.
@@XAmericanRenegadeX Options might be pretty limited at the moment. Flying back and forth, and grappling with sweaty dudes, isn't exactly as safe as it used to be. And for all the good it supposedly does, you probably won't see any wrestler wearing masks for their health in the ring. Doesn't really pay to be brave or stupid with your body right now. But it also doesn't pay to sit home wondering where your next check is coming from. You wouldn't see wrestlers crying on camera about lost jobs if it was as easy as that. They'd just do Jericho's podcast and move on.
Doug Gilbert always has something negative to say about everyone...
*me before i when i start the video*- hes such a great guy.. *starts video* AJ- "Sting's great" Me- I KNOW EVERYYTHINGG
So you're telling me he had to sucker punch Sting
i was thinkn the same thing. sounds like he did the same to matuzak, too! that's why he & murdock were both known as "dirty" dick!
Sounds like it to me.....
He talks like it was some kind of an accomplishment, or worthy of praise..
. I don't care enough to go research it, but I thought the backstory was that Slater had been fighting with his girl and left her stranded. So she hitched a ride with Sting, and Slater took offense and attacked him when he walked in.
You never hear a bad word about Sting!!! That's awesome. So refreshing to hear that there are athletes out there that "get it", and realize the fans are truly the ones that pay their salaries. So often that is forgotten. Good for you Stinger!!!!
Sting and Undertaker are the most respectable guys in and out the ring
Mick Foley also easily the nicest guy in wrestling history
Sting had tenure in WCW and TNA but spent at most a few years in WWE. His work in TNA was outstanding. Despite what WWE pay there wrestlers to say.
Until that day buckle bomb.....
Man, AJ and Sting must've Jesus'ed so hard together
I hope they don´t flatearthing in their free time
Doug Gilbert"I bought undertaker tires and my mom did sting taxes." Now you guys owe me for the rest of your lives.
He seemed bitter.
aj styles is class.
Sting is one of the few people in whom I would be very surprised and disappointed if I heard anything bad about in terms of his character.
Doug Gilbert, you’re successful because my mom did your taxes...... Lol
STING!!!! Class Act❤️
My respect to every person involved in the wrestling business. You guys are great! You guys made being alive even more exciting because as a kid during the 80s we had shit for role models. Thanks to you guys for being good role models, stand up guys that showed us to exercise and have a different look on life. Thanks so much!
I am still so pissed off at Vince about the whole Sting thing. After all the years and turmoil Sting finally shows up at WWE, and what does he do? He allows Triple H to try to steal the spotlight once again and gives the angle to him instead of to The Undertaker..enough said
Tracy Smothers was talking about Buzz Sawyer. I got to know Buzz Sawyer, he used to come to a bar I worked at in North Highlands, CA! He was a crazy dude! He had just gotten a leopard or jaguar tattooed on his head. He would show off by placing a beer can on someone's head and knock it off with a spinning jump kick. RIP, Buzz!
Sting is my fav of all time
The 14 thumbs down 👎 for this Sting video has no Idea who/what/ he STING was!!!! MY PERSONAL FAVORITE OF ALL TIMES....He contributed so much to WCW when everyone jumped ship 🛳 he stayed!!! Sting was in NWA/WCW Wrestling 1987-2001(Till the Doors 🚪 Closed!)
He’s The Man Called Sting
The Man The Icon STING(Steve Bordon)!!!!!!!
No one thinking about that until u gave it light….
Sting went to WWE way too late. If they would have gone earlier, his legacy would have been one of the greatest
I remember Sting from the UWF! He was with Hotstuff Eddie Gilbert. They were announced as Hotstuff Eddie Gilbert, every womans dream and Sting, every man's nightmare! Sting was just that. A nightmare. I never saw him wrestle the Iceman King Parsons, who was the man then, but, boy! Those were the days! Thank you for this video! 👏👍✌🙏❤
The Icon #🐐
Sting is the man, legend, best of the best
Sting was my introduction to wrestling, in the 80's, and he was *awesome*
Sting is the freaking man!! The greatest 😍
Doug Gilbert just whines around.
Your brother only helped him so much,but Sting had to learn to work for real,Not small fries
Damn Bagwell loves everyone to death 🤣
