Fitz Wrote:Nice list Warlord. I've pretty much mainly just watched wrestling events from the late 80's to mid 90's and then late 90's and early 00's, watched more WCW.Sting's long-going feud with Vader was one of the best ever. Those two cats had some BRUTAL matches. Vader's finisher was the power bomb, and he used to plant dudes HARD. I remember when Vader broke Joe Thurman's back for real with one of his power bombs. It paralyzed the guy and put him out of the business for good. He also broke Virgil's elbow with a power bomb as well. Sting got a few ribs broken off Vader's power bombs too. I was convinced, and am still, that Vader really and truly liked to hurt guys. He put Mick Foley on the shelf for a few months after nailing him with a power bomb outside the ring, back when Foley was still Cactus Jack. I think that's when Mick said he started having blackouts, and sometimes couldn't even remember where he lived when he was driving home. As for Sting, when he was young and in his prime, and in his full-blown surfer persona, he was the complete package. He was a great technical wrestler, he could do a lot of the high flying stuff that specialists like Brian Pillman were famous for, and though he wasn't the best mic artist around (that was Flair), he had more natural charisma than anyone else in the sport ever has. Bret Hart, in fact, was a near clone of Sting. He started his career wearing face-paint, and his finisher (the Sharp-shooter) was ripped straight off Sting's finisher, the Scorpion Deathlock. Sting's crow shtick came later in his career, and is probably the impetus for your statement of him being unoriginal. But even then, Sting was still doing things no one had done before. Him dropping down out of the rafters had never been done before, as far as I know, though many wrestlers have done that since. I don't know though, I guess everyone has their favorites. But I certainly can't imagine anyone who grew up watching Sting, in his prime, ranking him any lower than 3rd on an all-time greats list. I loved heels and hated faces growing up, but even I couldn't help but root for Sting. The guy was just badass. Warriors Don't Show Their Heart Until The Axe Reveals It. |
