Surfer Sting 🦂 is number #1 favorite version hopefully he goes back to that version on his final match
When he spoke for the first time in a year during his Crow character phase, that made it easy for me to enjoy the darker version of Sting.
It’s a toss up between the crow and the joker version of that character… if people missed out on either one of those they missed out on his best work..
For Sting to put that period at the end of his own sentence, he earned it, probably more than anyone else.
So true
AEW should create their own Hall of Fame specifically for Sting and Tony Schiavone.
He's definitely a first ballot Hall of Famer whenever AEW does make a Hall of Fame
He’s in the WWE HOF and he never even wrestled for that company. That’s how big a legend Sting is. But yeah. If AEW creates a HOF, Sting should be the wrestler that the first class is based around.
Scott Hall should be hanging around backstage these days casually tossing out genius ideas like Sting becoming a Crow type character.
#RIP Scott :\
Thank you Scott Hall for extending Stings career for 20 years
Sting is one of my favorite wrestlers WCW Franchise player crow sting My favorite version of Sting
Mine too I'll be in Greensboro for his last match
Nobody ever calls Crow Sting "scary sting" or anything else, they call it "Crow Sting" and that's it cause that's what it was a wrestling version of that character
Those of us who were there for sure.
But the young kids don't know that movie or get the reference. Very lame,but that's why.
Sting himself said he never saw that entire movie and the character was NOT based on The Crow.
@@JustaGuy-dg3nnyou're absolutely wrong. Scott Hall and Sting both said that the conversation of a character change came up and Scott told him to paint his face like Brandon Lee did.
In fact, Sting was going in the direction of painting his face the exact same, but Turner television told him they had to go in another direction, so the look was tweaked up some. Voula, Crow Sting was born
@@JustaGuy-dg3nn EVERYONE knows it was based off that character. Scott hall saw the movie then had sting see it. You got WRONG info.
@@JustaGuy-dg3nn
Who told you this, uncle Dave?
Love Sting and Eric there are the best
Peak WCW ruled
Great point about methodical Sting 🦂
I have a good idea once in a blue moon lol
Inwas born in 84 As a kid i caught the tail end of surfer sting didn't really watch wrestling that much till i was in my teens and started watching more so i missed the beginning of the crow sting but quickly became my favorite.
Sting ended where he started he was always a territory wrestler and a loyal WCW/nwa guy...like Goldberg..he wasn't a WWE guy,so him retiring in aew and Greensboro was perfect for him... didn't Have to be WWE ..thanks sting n WCW!🥂
Enjoy retirement, Icon!
I'm not sure why some people look at age as unpleasant. My last couple of years in the Army as a senior leader, I was proud to have had more years in than my youngest soldiers had been alive. There's a lot of experience and knowledge you can share with people. I was in 22 years, and my youngest soldiers were 19.
Agreed!
Definitely the Wolfpack crow sting. Love the red and black.
That was my favorite growing up too
Sting looked happier being able to talk and show emotion again as wolf pack plus reteamed with warrior was so great even for 1 match
Sting is the healthiest WCW/nwo/Wolfpack member.
Sting vs the rock
Wolfpack sting was super cool. I remember that first in-ring interview he had with Tony Schiavone after joining the faction. You could tell he was having fun with that version of his character.
Brett Hart still does the better bulldog and sharpshooter but crow sting was perfect. I think he was depressed he didn't get into the NWO originally so by the time he joined the Wolfpak he couldn't help but to smile every time.
Loved STING THE CROW . I took my kids to see him in 1997 , we got 3 crow t - shirts .
Back in 1990, my college roommate was huge into wrestling and got me interested. He'd always talk about Sting & Flair. We'd play around fake wrestling. Later on, after college, when I was out on my own, and missing my buddy, I started watching. I remembered the name Sting and focused on him. This was around when the Crow character was invented. Just fell in love with it. Started watching religiously. Stopped after the acquisition and how poorly Sting was treated.
Sting never jumped to WWE for reasons we already know, perhaps the only wrestler to have worked for one company but he did jumped. Sting should have never went to WWE.
He really wanted that Undertaker match unfortunately
I really like the joker sting
Was one of my favorite versions of Sting.
The Wolfpac facepaint always stood out to me :)
Nice..thanx.😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Eric "Don't Touch the Hair" Bischoff.
He doesn't have to worry about that anymore 😬
Great interview! The Boss, Bischoff I recalled him in AWA announcer..
So glad you liked it! Hope you stick around cause there will be more in the coming weeks :)
With all due respect, JR is just as responsible for helping bring stinger's career blossom. He was actually calling Sting in UWF. Then with the Crockett acquisition, they were apart of that fold. Tony was with him for a longer period of time, but you have to ne fair to include JR as well.
Totally! This was part of a bigger feature explaining and celebrating Sting's career. Eric was brought in specifically to talk about Crow Sting. There are also interviews on this channel with Tony Schiavone about Surfer Sting and Jim Crockett Promotions, Jeff Jarrett for the TNA run and Darby Allin for AEW. I was hoping to get JR but, unfortunately, it was hard to get in touch with his recent health.
Here's the written feature that also includes a phone interview with Sting: www.cbssports.com/wwe/news/sting-retires-from-surfer-to-crow-to-legend-how-the-icon-earned-his-moniker-ahead-of-his-final-match/
Annoys me when he gets lumped in with Warrior because they were a tag team. No comparison between the two. Sting is a bona-fide legend in professional wrestling.
💯 their careers are SO DIFFERENT in totality
Easy E aka "ATM Eric" Bischoff !; not Eazy E (the late rapper from the NWA 1990's "gangsta rap" group or the Ruthless Records CEO). in TNA (Impact Wrestling/total non-stop action), for a brief moment, he was "Joker Sting" (Jared Leto, Jack Nicholson, the late Heath Ledger, Joaquin Phoenix). Yes, Bischoff was correct; the "Crow" film was played by the late Brandon Lee (as "Eric Draven"). there was a okay feud between the Stinger vs. Vampiro, in WCW (NWA) / nWo. in the WWE/WWF, the ultimate Dream Match would have been the Stinger vs. (the Under)Taker, the Deadman... It has come full circle for Sting, being in Greensboro, NC, with guys like great "The Nature Boy," Ric Flair (WOOOO !; in the ring "physicality" and his heel personality (mainly with the promo work, on the mic/stick), as a part of the great "4 Horsemen" stable) and a veteran pro wrestling personality, Tony Schiavone. In ECW, the equivalent of "Surfer" Sting would have been Hardcore Hak ("the Sandman"). One person that constantly reinvents himself has to be the "Best in the World (like a C.M. Punk)," or the "Lionheart," Chris Jericho (with his fat "(Bill) Goldberg"-like security guard: a toothless shmuck, some toothless truck driver named Ralphus (John Riker).) RIP to Scott Hall (Razor Ramon, the Diamond Studd), Virgil (nWo; "The Million Dollar Man," Ted Dibiase's "buddy") and Ole Anderson (the 4 Horsemen; Minnesota Wrecking Crew).
Thank you for the detailed history lesson haha
Then why didn't he go over at Starrcade 1997
It was the Hair Eric
😂
Scott Hall explained Sting going to the crow gimmick literally multiple times in several interviews Eric as always has no idea what he is talking about
😊😊😊
😁
Here’s my thing when you can come out walk to the ring and not say one word think about it the man did not say one word for like a whole year straight then just leave the ring and everybody goes crazy just from you standing there that character was more over than any character has ever been🤷🏾♂️
Well, I would have bet against Punk going back to WWE but hell, Punk just showed how poor character and convictions he has.
Stings WCW run? You mean his whole career?

Sting would have been great as the 3rd man in the NWO but hogan needed that complete turn more at the time.
-Mabel was going to be "the 3rd man"
Eric should have known better lol when will he ever learn? I’m starting to think he might enjoy the Steve Austin look
WWE did sting dirty. He didn’t deserve the way they treated him
Agreed :(
Bald Bischoff
His head is SHINY!
I love BISHOFF, but why is he a simp for HOGAN?
Crow Sting was great. Then he cut a promo...
You liked him better silent eh? 😂
@@ShakWrestling it fit his character better. His promos as crow Sting didn't work at all.
Eric is bald 😂😂😂
Don't gamble haha
I love how bischoff is still somehow voluntarily losing hair via stipulations/bets despite not even working for a wrestling company 😂 what a good sport 👍
It's hilarious haha
He's got a dope gimmick 😎
I likes stings run in WCW and TNA
Same!
I hated sting's run in WWE. Cheated, misused, disrespected.
I didn't like sting's run in aew, but glad of his appearance!
I liked stings run in TNA and WCW.
I feel in TNA, he was given more freedom. Freedom to be himself character wise. I appreciated his matches. Didn't care of joker sting.
In WCW I remember surfer sting first! My most favorite thing by his character. Appreciate his politeness, mannerisms, Workmanship. Well rounded pro wrestler.
After his crow gimmick, appreciated him taking on nwo.
I wasn't huge on Joker Sting either but I loved his overall TNA run
