GRAND DADDY OF THEM ALL

>>2786886
Seriously there has never been a bigger or better build to a match in wrestling history. Match itself was shit but that build was good damn stupid great. Never again.

Watching this match, damn Stinger was athletic as fuck. His drop kicks were Okada tier. Remember him jumping from ring to ring against, was it muta or steamboat? Rip American wrestle.

When Sting no sells that vertical suplex and Hogan's flexing then turns around and Stinger does the 'suck it's gesture. Biggest pop of all time. All time, guys.

Hilarious! Really though, fuck off, retard.

Damn, dude. Makes me wish I didn't stop watching when WCW went under. TNA looks better than current WWE here.

GOAT Baby face

>>2787212
GOAT.

That's the promo that set it off.

>>2787156
Tfw I missed everything stinger related apart from the sad WWE run.

>>2787249
I'll send you some dvds! Or you can catch his great matches on the WWE Network for just 9.99!! Seriously though, watch his stuff - very much arguably the greatest ever.

>>2786943
I never understood this poster. Hogan WASN'T a colorful guy, he was black and white himself god dammit, what are they talking about? I mean Jesus Fucking Christ he's in the poster wearing his black and white NWO gear.

>>2787156
I'm kind of pissed I only got into wrestling in 98, so I missed all of the nWo stuff -- or, well, prime nWo, not when everyone in WCW was part of nWo or Wolfpac.

wew lad

My favorite Sting memory was when Based Rollins crippled him like the bitch he is! RIP you Ultimate Warrior rip off!!

This pretty much, Sting is one of the biggest reasons why a lot of people gave TNA a chance, and later one stuck with it.

Also in an industry filled with marks, being a great guy like him is a no lesser accomplishment.
