      Norton was awesome everywhere he went, that's why he's a top 5 on everyone's list of Big Men. I kept hoping they would put him with Buff or Disco and form an actual tag team, I know he tagged with both of them in one offs and stuff like that but they were never an ACTUAL tag-team.

    The offer Scott Norton got was probably similar to Tully Blanchard's offer. Tully was offered $500 per appearance contract to reform The Four Horsemen at Slamboree 1993. Tully did not accept the offer and was replaced him with Paul Roma.

    So basically Ole put words in Stings mouth. That he didn't say. I don't know Steve Borden personally. But,what people speak about him. I don't ever see Sting speaking in that manner. Even if he really felt that way. Stings doesn't strike me somebody who would bury his opponent like that. Sting is known as one of the nicest kindest professional wrestlers ever. It's not even in his nature to bad mouth someone like that. Just imagine Scott took that personal. Scott is a stand up dude himself. Glad he finally got to talk with Sting about that. I love how Scott says "Sting was phenomenal". I see people say Sting is a Icon etc... Never really see him mentioned in the 🐐 category. He most definitely is in my humble opinion. Scott Norton will always be one bad ass dude to me. His aura says lightning bolt to me. Just a big explosively powerful strong dude. As a 🐂. That moves extremely quick for that size and mass. Like he could grab ya and turn you into to dust with his barehands. Scott is very under rated himself. Also Rest in peace Ole Anderson.

    • @TheREALOC1972

      agreed, Scott was one of the rare guys that wasn;t in it for the fame either, he just loved the business, if they wanted him as a solo wrestler he was good with that, if they wanted to put him in a tag team he was good with that too.

      Just need to look at the victory road incident to know how much he this was. Sting gave a disappointing look on camera but remained relatively silent. Mean while every other bottom feeder like bischoff has a novel to say about it. Sting is one of the real goats 💪

      @@TheREALOC1972 Absolutely. Scott should have had a WCW World Championship run. Put a good heel manager with him. Ala Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar. Number # 1 Scott was is believable. That is everything. Big Scott had this intensity aura about him. You could believe he could whoop a man's ass if needed. And, do it dominantly. Very explosive in his presentation. Just RAW Power with innate killer instinct. A Beast of a man.

The world is a better place with guys like Steve Borden aka Sting. I've been a fan since day 1. Of me first watching professional wrestling with my Grand Paw. Back in 1988. As a young kid Sting was everything I loved about Professional Wrestling.

      @marcusking332 lol I'm a new age fan? I haven't watched wrestling since I was in 8th grade in 2001. I just like these shoots about the old days. So I know that these guys didn't care about a country or a promoter they cared about $$$, both short term and long term, and Norton knew it was better for his $$$ to stay strong for future Japan bookings. He was a mid carder at best in USA but a MONSTER in Japan

    My favorite Ole moment was when he went off on Feinstein about Flair leaving WCW with the world title belt. He was either so stiuck in the past or just hated Flair that much that he actually said that nobody cared or was hurt when he took the belt to Vince since he was champion of nothing because there was no NWA (there technically was, but it basically just existed as a paper entity)/territories anymore. He was still champion of the second largest company there was, it was a big news story, and it did matter to someone because it sparked a couple of different lawsuits (one against Flair and one against WWF for using what was considered NWA intellectual property).
