This is where I knew Sting from, I’ve always thought of Sting as a TNA legend not WCW, obviously I know now he’s a WCW legend too but for me he will always be one of the goats of TNA along with Styles Daniels Joe Angle Abyss etc
Same for me. Obviously he’s WCW guy first and foremost, for a younger fan like me I’ll always remember him most for his work in TNA with the Main Event Mafia, Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett, abyss, and others. I wasn’t a big fan of Joker Sting but I know many fans look back at that gimmick fondly.
Yup. I remember when they killed off the 6 sided ring and the fans booed it to oblivion and Hogan more or less told the fans tough luck. All the proof I needed that he wasn't doing what the fans wanted to bring in more viewers but just doing what he wanted. TNA is lucky they didn't go out of business like WCW.
People keep moaning over how the theme is poorly edited and out of tune etc.... Perhaps that was the intention. The bizarre , chaotic and unorthodox sound symbolizing Stings unpredictable nature. The saying "The only thing thats sure about sting, is that nothing is for sure" truly resonates with Stings character in TNA, WCW and WWE, and this theme personifies this perfectly.
This music brings back so many great wrestling memories for me. Sting had the longest World Championship run of his career in TNA. How you respect an Icon.
This theme is shit. Sounds like TNA'a music director just asked a band to go in the studio and go nuts. And it doesn't fit Sting's character at all. WWE's theme isn't bad at all. Much better than this. Johnston (I would assume it's him that composed the theme) at least tried to capture the dark and brooding look of Sting while making sense of the whole "vigilante" label WWE has put on him. However, both themes are complete shit when compared to his Crow theme.
Agreed with deth... This theme is terrible for the likes of Sting. His dark persona is not expressed through this, WWEs version is much better in doing so, in my option the original crow and the WWE themes are perfectly fit for Sting, certainly not this.
Deth just stfu this theme is badass for the guy that took out the nwo with a metal band face paint and naming him the icon not a vigilante but your a wwe brainwashed just every shit wwe giving to you is inside your mouth so fuck off watch you soo called the future of the company Seth Rollins that run away every time and dolph Ziggler twerking we in Tna have kurt angle and Bobby lashley and the hardy boyz and team 3d and ecw legends while you have your Justin bieber wannabes at least I'm waiting for undertaker vs sting but now summerslam is Brock lesner vs undertaker
As much as i wish he had his tenure in the we (preferably during the attitude era, sting goldberg and book were the missing links) im glad he stood his ground with em, strength of character style. Feel like triple-h was envious of anybody from wcw with more popularity than him
imagine if sting returned with his tna theme.. seeing how there is a working relationship and all.. (damn as wish there were more fans for the pop.. covid be damned)
it will happen if wwe buys tna when it goes out of business for their video libary for the network :) because then they own all the old tna stuff they could do some nice work with some fantasy matches on the games
reecewazup96 leave TNA be. Why do the WWE fans have to insist that WWE buys another company, leaving no competition or alternative. WWE didn't get as far as TNA did in 12 years so, yeah.
reecewazup96 WWE wouldn't buy TNA as all their workers work open contracts, and most of the good ones, as they are right now, will leave when the company starts to die.
This comment section is full of worthless nitpickers. "The guitar tone is horrible and the riffs are so off time". Grow up and quit looking for reasons to call this song bad.
I remember hearing this theme live and having my head on a swivel looking all around the Impact Zone, you never knew where Sting was gonna be! Hahahahahahaha
But Crow theme he used only 12/1997 - 5/1988 and 4-10/1999 total of about 2x 6 months out of a 30 years career. Even in hiss crow look "Seek and Destroy" was more often played in WCW.
Haroon Hussain Honestly I wouldn't have minded if some young up and comer like cm punk or randy orton or hell even daniel bryan ended the streak. At least give it some people who are going to be in the business for the long run and put them over.
You knew as soon as it became Trips vs. Sting at WM instead of Taker vs. Sting, that VKM was out to stick it to WCW one last time at Sting's expense. Sucks that Sting got a career-ender and couldn't stick around in WWE longer than he did, he might have been granted his wish to face the Dead Man in the next WM.
The best version of "Slay Me". Since Sting used this song 2006-2014 thereby longer than any other themes, it represents him better than "The Crow" theme which only got used August 1997 - May 1998 and April/May 1999. Too bad WWE use "Out from the Shadows" theme now, not bad either but not as good as "Slay Me".
This theme goes hard, way better than his new 2k create a wrestler theme AEW gave him, WWE fucks up his legacy, AEW fucks up his music, Sting can’t get no justice from the wrestling business
This tune is better thsn his AEW me tinks. Partly because of nostalgia... But it is, he told hulk hogan n went mad "im the Stinger" joker sting. Dixie n ec3 etc.. TNA 4 eva love them all but cant help it TNA hmm "walk among the giants" IMPACT "we own the night" peace out amd "anything can happen in the WWE" err like jim Ross at AEW. Be well ultimate warriors am off to c the pigeons in the square... "let me in"...
This Reminds me of a 2006 TNA where AJ Styles, Daniels, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, Christian and Sting were taking over
GamingSmithy Tna is done with
yep
GamingSmithy yeah. Back when TNA was actually on the verge of becoming a legit threat to the WWE.
Then Hogan and Bischoff came...
Hogan and Bischoff ruined TNA
WCW, TNA, WWE, AEW - wow, Sting has always had kick-ass themes.
Exactly.
his WCW theme was the best imo
Maybe not, his surfer sting theme wasn’t very good.

Facts
You can't forget Perc Angle
Same for me. Obviously he’s WCW guy first and foremost, for a younger fan like me I’ll always remember him most for his work in TNA with the Main Event Mafia, Kurt Angle, Jeff Jarrett, abyss, and others. I wasn’t a big fan of Joker Sting but I know many fans look back at that gimmick fondly.
Yeah this is where I discovered sting to. I was a kid in 06 and sting was the coolest thing to me
and jeff hardy DA G-G-G-GOOAAATTT🔥🔥🔥
This is one of my favorite themes in all of wrestling. That opening riff gives me chills.
That no sell after double j’s guitar shot at bound for glory 2006 is still one of my favorite wrestling moments
Remembering the golden days of TNA. Best wrestling since the Attitude Era, too bad it will never happen again.
❤️❤️
I was good before Hogan came with his friends and killed it
Yup. I remember when they killed off the 6 sided ring and the fans booed it to oblivion and Hogan more or less told the fans tough luck. All the proof I needed that he wasn't doing what the fans wanted to bring in more viewers but just doing what he wanted. TNA is lucky they didn't go out of business like WCW.
Sting TNA run is very underrated. he had some great matches there.
One of my favorites on TNA... Even Joker Sting was amazing
@@TheTebo1994 loved joker sting he should bring joker Sting to AEW
Just a shame about victory road 2011. Although to be fair, he remained "the likeable guy" who, to be fair, I did still like in that match.

@Flashing Colors it's a better theme than what WWE put out
Mr. MSA why you trynna ruin shit... no matter what you say this is the best sting theme song
@Never Knowing um... roh ?
@Never Knowing How about you being a bigger mark for bitching over this dope ass iconic theme?
My thoughts exactly!!!
This is so much better than his WWE song.
yes
nope.
and another yes
Yes better than WWE but not wcw
Don't think I've heard his WWE one. I do like this one though, but his best theme was his first NWA/WCW one and the Crow theme.
This song sounds like someone rubbing a guitar on their teeth.
How painful that must be 😂
@@prize5ighter Jimi Hendrix was the only person to do that

AEW needs to use this theme. Arguably his best theme ever. "The Icon" deserves his iconic theme song.
As a young fella this song absolutely got me out of my seat, loved Sting and loved TNA
Thank you Sting
This is much better than his WWE theme, tell me you wouldn't rather walk out to this than that one WWE have for him...

Joe Southgate much better and some of Tna's theme songs are pretty good
Oooh kingslayer I agree and this theme fits mostly all his gimmicks and you guys know it’s true
Sting has had many great themes, but this is my personal favourite his.
TNA Sting 🦂 will always be my favorite
Thank you Sting 🦂
Still one of my most favourite themes ever, I can't imagine sting without it, but his current WWE song goes well I guess.
Too bad this is not going to be used in WWE
this would have been an epic theme to use in WWE. but they may remix the crow theme or re-visit it
Lakers fan were you too young to remember when he used Metallica in WCW? that’s what I think they were trying to recreate here
@Lakers fan shut up
I wish his song was in wwe
This age well
This the Stinger Steve Borden I grew up with the TNA version of him
I wish he used this in AEW 🤷🏾♂️
That guitar is so good.
As much as i wish he had his tenure in the we (preferably during the attitude era, sting goldberg and book were the missing links) im glad he stood his ground with em, strength of character style. Feel like triple-h was envious of anybody from wcw with more popularity than him
WCW: badass
TNA: awesome
WWE:......I'm staying far away
WCW = Family Friendly WWE
@Never Knowing 😂
Yeah because having buff bagwells mom on a forklift is badass.
AEW: Iconic
@@brubok479 naw I meant his theme songs in WCW was awesome 😂 me of all people criticize WCW ideas
To be honest, it's the best theme Sting ever has.
Probably my favorite wrestling theme
WCW theme was wayyyyyy better.
The Icøn my opinion tho
imagine. But only his Metallica theme of WCW was better.
imagine if sting returned with his tna theme.. seeing how there is a working relationship and all.. (damn as wish there were more fans for the pop.. covid be damned)
What would you guys think about a cross over game? WWE Vs TNA. Think that sounds any good?
It would be awesome, but will never happen.
it will happen if wwe buys tna when it goes out of business for their video libary for the network :) because then they own all the old tna stuff they could do some nice work with some fantasy matches on the games

CM Punk vs AJ Styles
Dudley Boyz vs Team 3D
Christian vs Christian Cage
Mankind vs Abyss
the best TNA theme and imo the best Sting theme
Had this song hit on his debut i wouldve popped huge af.
Biggest legend still active in the sport!
This is way better then wwe theme
This is literally the best entrance music of all time...
unholy confessions
You talking about A7X? I don’t hear it. If you wanna hear a song that rips off that riff, listen to Knives and Pens by BVB
@@USHARDY I've heard of it. This one only the first few seconds reminds me of unholy confession
I hear it
Who’s here after his AEW debut
Yessir
I am

I remember hearing this theme live and having my head on a swivel looking all around the Impact Zone, you never knew where Sting was gonna be! Hahahahahahaha
I like how this gimmick was a combo of his surfer and crow gimmick
I love how off-kilter this song sounds, whether it’s the opening riff or the screaming guitar lick, shits pretty awesome
This is his best theme by far, reminds me of the hell he raised against the nwo back in wcw.
He did the same with immortal
From Venice Beach California. Weighing in at 232 Pounds
The ICON Sting!!
ah yes, Slip's favourite theme as he is Sting's biggest fan
Back when TNA/Impact was lit. Never getting those days back.
Golden era of TNA.
His best theme song by far
Ahh the memories
man, tna themes and wrestling themes in general went so fucking hard back then
Good times! Sting was so good in Impact Wrestling/TNA 🙌🦂😃
Can't wait to see Sting in the WWE.
THIS IS THEEEEEEE ICOOOON!
STING !
He's da best
This is better than his WWE One but Not better than His Crow WCW One
But Crow theme he used only 12/1997 - 5/1988 and 4-10/1999 total of about 2x 6 months out of a 30 years career. Even in hiss crow look "Seek and Destroy" was more often played in WCW.
Truly one of the best theme songs in the history if pro wrestling right next to NWO, Bad Influence, Kurt Angle, and Chris Benoit
That would be the Crow theme not this shit
I am absolutely loving this. Didnt know i liked rock so much
He shoulda have laid the undertaker to rest :( Would have been monumentous.
No! The streak should've been broken by HHH or HBK because they actually gave to WWE unlike Brock and Sting who like to make one appearance a month
Haroon Hussain Honestly I wouldn't have minded if some young up and comer like cm punk or randy orton or hell even daniel bryan ended the streak. At least give it some people who are going to be in the business for the long run and put them over.

Man my eardrums shattered. I started this song at 100% volume.
Till this day STILL BADASS
This reminds me so much of the TNA IMPACT! game 🖤🔥
TNA had some badass themes
Sting should bring this back in AEW.
I would’ve loved to see a mixed match between joker sting and Rosemary. Now THAT I’d pay good money for
Get a grip😂😂
@@7455entertainment nah im good. Fuck you
Thanks for the video above own your future RUclips I appreciate it from Marcus in australia.

And to think, if TNA wasn’t stupid with their money, we could all be rooting for them to kick the lagging WWEs ass
The best version of "Slay Me". Since Sting used this song 2006-2014 thereby longer than any other themes, it represents him better than "The Crow" theme which only got used August 1997 - May 1998 and April/May 1999.

You're high, kid.
Crow is WAY more iconic, not to mention WCW was bigger than TNA can ever hope to be.
Bwahahahaha TNA. My son, please.
hughesd95 some stories in wwe are watchable like lesnar vs rollins, Orton and Sheamus feud could be better.
Man I loved this theme. Little bit of his WCW theme with a lottle bit more bite.
Perfect theme for Sting
The greatest Wrestler of the World
Much better than the shit WWE gave him.
Would have been AWESOME if he showed up to AEW with this theme instead of his new one. Cause Christian Cage got to use his old TNA theme.
is is such a sick theme song, WWE should use this some how aha
Sounds like it was someone's first band practice
its gonae be showtime !!!folks!!!!
I love tna more than wwe
If it were 2007-13 I would agree with you. Now it's just shit.
Adam Windsor Even prior to 2007 it was better. ‘04, ‘05 and ‘06 TNA was better than WWE.
His best theme
This theme goes hard, way better than his new 2k create a wrestler theme AEW gave him, WWE fucks up his legacy, AEW fucks up his music, Sting can’t get no justice from the wrestling business
Yea he needs to go back to TNA and rebuild his legacy AEW just misusing him for few bucks same like WWE did to grow their viewers
I wish WWE kept this theme when they signed him ... or at the very least, a remix.
TNA owns the rights on this so WWE can't use it.
Prays he comes out to this on Sunday
He didn’t.
WHOOH!! 🃏
People mad about it sounding all over the place well I think it's beautifully chaotic
it was epic
This tune is better thsn his AEW me tinks. Partly because of nostalgia... But it is, he told hulk hogan n went mad "im the Stinger" joker sting. Dixie n ec3 etc..

happy 60th birthday to the icon sting
Sting's now AEW Theme kinda has some influences from this.
Cool Lita did her entrance song
This theme was badass!
This is better than the WWE song
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘METAL🤘🤘🤘🤘
This would've scored such a louder fan pop and cheer on his debut. WWE missing the ball when it mattered D:!
Too bad it's ©️ Anthem Sports & Entertainment (IMPACT! ex TNA).
So Vince would have had to pay for license and that would have changed him from billionaire to bankrupt.
Sting's TNA and Jericho's WWE theme are my fav all time
