Match # 153: Sting vs. Ric Flair (Nitro 3/26/01) And so we reach the end in an appropriate manner. They wrestled on the first Nitro, and they wrestle on the last. Before we begin the reassessment of the top 30 Nitro matches with MFP (My Friend Paul), we give some slack to Flair and Sting and [...]

Match # 144: Jeff Jarrett and Booker T vs. Scott Steiner and Sting (Nitro 10/2/00) An odd pairing of faces and heels, with the Jarrett/Booker team fighting against each other in a single later in the night. Seems Russo-rific to me. One question: Will anyone sell on the Steiner/Sting team given the other team is the [...]

Match # 133: Sting vs. Chris Benoit (Nitro 9/20/99) Okay, we have officially entered the era where I was giving up and barely watching, but still following online. I don’t remember this match or it’s context in the slightest. Sting had apparently turned heel, which you’d think was a big deal, but there were almost [...]

Match # 132: Hollywood Hogan/Sting/Goldberg vs. Kevin Nash/Sid/Scott Steiner (Nitro 8/9/99) Nash, Sid, and Steiner is the oddest team I’ve seen in some time. Why did Sid have a job, why did Nash bother to show up, and isn’t that the wrong Steiner for 1999 WCW? The faces all get separate entrances because they’re bigger starts [...]

Match # 128: DDP vs. Sting (Nitro 4/26/99) Sting is still really over as a Crow-like babyface, and DDP is coming off a good heel turn with an even better heel persona. Plus, he’s got the big gold belt. Let’s hope Sting feels like working hard and selling, because his whims make matches very good or [...]

Match # 125: Sting vs. Ric Flair (Nitro 4/12/99) Flair is out with Arn Anderson. Is there ever a time they aren’t together? Why would I even ask? Sting is still the Crow, complete with dramatic music, no longer part of the Wolfpack faction. This was a great match that made Sting a decade before, [...]

Match # 109: Goldberg vs. Sting (Nitro 9/14/98) This has the potential to be one of those great surprising Nitro main events, in the same vain of the earlier DDP vs Sting match that didn’t go over ten minutes, but had a solid story and work ethic. Goldberg really did have a great run, be simply [...]

Match # 106: Scott Hall/Giant vs. Sting/Kevin Nash (Nitro 7/20/98) This match exemplifies the reasons I began to hate WCW in 1998. I’m not even talking about the match itself, but simply the contextual set up. Nash and Sting come out. They’re the WCW tag champs. Champs despite the fact Sting was the resistance to Nash’s [...]

Match # 95: DDP vs. Sting (Nitro 3/23/98) A world title match with two babyfaces facing each other. Only on NITRO will you find the greatest night in our sport – every night!

Match # 92: Hollywood Hogan/Scott Hall/Kevin Nash vs. Sting/Giant/Randy Savage (Nitro 3/9/98) The big guns from the NWO against a bunch of WCW main event babyfaces. Cool with me. I like the personalities, not to mention Sting’s epic entrance music. Somehow Sting is the champ, the Giant has a neck brace, and Macho is back face [...]

Match # 83: Sting vs. Hollywood Hogan (Nitro 12/29/97) This is how goofy WCW was getting. They built this whole match up over a year and a half, had it the night before at their version of Mania (Starcade), and had Sting win on a screwed up finish (Ref Patrick didn’t fast count the Hogan pin, [...]

From ShopTNA.com: The Icon Sting “Discharge” T-Shirt “No Ink …… No Ink ……. No Ink” That’s what is so cool about this shirt. We didn’t print anything. The dye of the shirt is actually removed (Discharged) from the shirt to create the design. The discharge does run over the right shoulder and includes a TNA logo on the back [...]

Match # 37: Harlem Heat vs. The Steiner Brothers vs. Sting and Lex Luger (Nitro 6/24/96) Again, I think this one was put on more for extra content surrounding the match (Historical content) than the match itself. This three way doesn’t have the luster of the earlier Three Way (Match # 24), but I remember the [...]

Match # 34: The Steiner Brothers vs. Sting and Lex Luger (Nitro 6/3/96) I’m assuming this is babyface vs babyface. It’s also the last feud they would all have before the NOW years, so I guess I should enjoy the last gasp of the Steiners or the old Stinger. I’m skeptical, but then Scott Steiner and [...]

Match # 32: Scott Steiner vs. Sting (Nitro 5/27/96) This match has the distinction of taking place on the night Scott Hall walked out on Nitro and started what became the NOW angle. It’s mentioned in passing at the beginning. Here we have two pure WCW created talents going at it, and I’m expecting Scott Steiner [...]

Match # 29: Sting vs. Steven Regal (Nitro 5/6/96) Sting always had the benefit of getting great workers to have matches with on Nitro (at least, this set makes me feel stronger in that opinion). Regal really was a talented versatile guy that never got his due until a second WWE run. I’ve seen his early [...]

Match # 25: Sting/Lex Luger vs. Ric Flair/The Giant (Nitro 4/15/96) I have no idea why Flair and the Giant made friends after their match (Match # 23). I guess there just that much of bad guys. Sting and Luger are always friends no matter what. I’m not expecting to much out of this, aging Flair [...]

Match # 14: Ric Flair vs. Sting (Nitro 1/15/96) We’ve already seen this twice on Nitro in the four months, so we’ll see if they do anything different or stick with the ten minute Flair heel formula match. Last time Flair got beat clean with the Scorpion Death Lock. This was prime Bischoff makes Flair put [...]

Match # 10: Sting and Lex Luger vs. Arn Anderson and Brian Pillman (Nitro 11/27/95) Horseman vs the WCW foundation dream team. Alright with me. Pillman and Anderson are great, and Sting works up or down to the level of opponent. Only Luger makes me nervous here, but he’s been known to put together better than [...]

Match # 8: Hulk Hogan vs. Sting (Nitro 11/20/95) Hogan is wearing black here and teasing a heel turn, but the fans are booing him pretty bad at this point anyway. This was a precursor to his NWO days. He sneaks up behind Sting early, but doesn’t jump him. I guess that shows he’s a good [...]
