The Best of Sting DVD review or is it Sting vs NWO dvd? 13/10/2014







WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.........wait it wasnt a woo it was more of a scream but it was awesome. I recently watched the best of Sting DVD that WWE has put together and I thought Id write a short review.

The dvd is similar to the best of Goldberg DVD its just matches so if you want his story, this isnt what you want but if you want good wrastlin' then this is worth a look. As a kid I thought other than Ric Flair, Sting is the greatest thing to come out of WCW with the whole crow look , coming down from the rafters and the music was awesome. Watching this DVD mainly brought back memories of watching Nitro and how much the NWO pisses my off.


The first disc starts off with the Stingers matches tagging with The Ultimate Warrior as the Blade runners very green and slow wrestling because Sting was a body builder from Venice Beach who gave wrestling a try the first few matches might not be so good but the 3rd one is what you want to watch....................


Ric Flair......Stings greatest opponent. The matches with Ric Flair in this DVD are awesome, he also has some great matches with Great Muta a bad ass Japanese Wrestler, Ron Simmons (Farooq), The steiners and a young Stone cold Steve Austin as surfer dude Sting. The first 2 DVDs have some good Wrestling and I really enjoyed it but watching it match after match you pick up on Stings sequence schtick.

Next they go into his transition to the crow because he did carry WCW for years then Hogan comes in creates the NWO and Sting rebels to take on Hogan after nearly a year and this is one thing that I did enjoy watching and it was AWESOME seeing  Sting beat Hogan it was entertaining and climactic, but the rest of the matches except for his last match on Nitro with Flair was just as follows:


1. Sting fights member of NWO

2- Sting being superior Wrestler out wrestles them.

3. Stings just about to win NWO comes out and attacks Sting.

4. Sting gets help either Big Show/ Giant or Lex Luger.


After 2 hours of that and 10 matches it gets old. Theres some good stuff on their with the Wolfpac (Sting and Nash) taking on Harlem Heat and Sting vs Randy Savage and Bret was good. But I do get sick of Hogan coming out and stealing the spotlight. (and yes I was one of those people that didnt like the NWO I was more of a WWE guy)


But overall it brings fond nostalgia of watching to cool crow character of Sting and hopefully Sting has one more match in him........Cough Undertaker Cough. Sting was and still is an awesome wrestler and is one of the best of all time, I still want to paint my face white and black and get a black trench coat and a baseball bat.
