Talk about a horrible worked match, Sting SMILES at around the 03:56 mark. Only a blind man would not be able to tell that the 'MMA' guy was pulling his punches with Sting in the corner before that.
@NotPotter Spot on analysis. I liken the difference between MMA and pro wrestling to the difference between a soap opera and professional baseball. Baseball fans don't want to see the cast of General Hospital act like baseball players, they want the real thing. And soap fans don't want to see their favorite actors pretend to play a sport, they want to see an actual soap opera. Speaking only for myself, I'm a huge fan of both pro wrestling and MMA but this match was terrible by either standard.
Hes wearing sparing gear, hes not out to break his or his oppents bones! Sting has trained for safe wrestling, all those wrestlers do. That is how many of them can stay in the buisness for so long. Honestly Sting got hit with many things he shouldnt have been hit by. Needs to work on speed and blocking!
I completely fail to see the point of worked shoot matches. Mind you, I went to an Inoki IGF show once, dull as all balls, but the crowd were popping huge for simple things, and bodyslams were finishes.. If it ever got popular the workers would love it, but any fan with sense would either watch wrestling or real fighting.
@abstractheart1 Lots of stuff is legal in MMA, outside of crotch shots & shots to the throat. I think direct shots to the spine are NOT legal in Pride but don't quote me on that.
i tried watching UFC or MMA watever i was bored from the minute they started huggin eachother the fans was dull no cheering cant see how people watch it no entertainment at all
Looks like late 94/early 95 before he faded the blond out.
This is good shitt. Black guy could of legit stunned Sting if he wasnt pulling his punches kicks

haha
sting was getting a hiding... but good on him for letting the other guy hit him.
Sakuraba actually tried to use it in one of his early matches in Pride. He used it in his pro wrestling days aswell.
"my cousin knocked a dude out once and put him in a sharpshooter. so it is feesible. "
I'd love to see video of that.
Outstanding content
thank you i meant to add it had to be before bash at the beach in 96 or before he went to the crow sting in 96
WCW struck a deal to exchange talent with japan in the early 1990's, so I'm guesing this was Mid to late 1995,
this is most likley before 1992 because his old music is playing.

in MMA or in UFC,,,is the Scorpion deathlock of sting is legal or illegal???
No, it is strong style pro-wrestling.
@cooldiesel316
I don't see why it would be illegal, but it'd be impossible to pull it off in a real fight.
haha that was great!
Agree.
