Preppy boy Tyler would have been better than Hardcore Hak. Heck Raven trying to redo The Flock with his preppy friends and getting exasperated with them would have owned.

Why do we call him surfer Sting? When I think of surfers, I don't think of a body builder with a bleached flat-top wearing a Sgt. Pepper jacket.

Bleach blond hair, being from Venice Beach, California, and his promo style being punctuated more by an energy rather than a verbiage seem to lead to a light surf vibe to me.

It originates from a typo, he was meant to be called Suffer Sting because he was being crushed under the existential horror of existence, but WCW being WCW just ran with the typo. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Feb 22, 2020 |

Beach blast when he and Davey boy were hanging on the beach with their surf boards. Now sting is a cripple and davey boy is dead so maybe they shouldn’t have gone that day.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:I thought Hogan wanted to work a program with Pillman. Yes, he'd have been buried and I think he left before that would have happened anyway. How I remember it is that Hogan wanted Pillman added to the Doomsday Cage match at Uncensored as he was getting great reactions after the whole "I respect you booker man" bit at the previous PPV. So Pillman scheduled throat surgery to remove some polyps to ensure he'd not be available for the show. He did have to do the surgery at some point but I don't think he would have gotten it that soon if not for the Doomsday Cage

Two questions for you folks: 1) Rick Steiner’s “It’s not my fault” from WCW Superbrawl Wrestling (SNES): what was this in reference to? 2) Was “He got a bicycle!” organic, or was that planned?

Sting was super over with kids, I believe, but otherwise not a great fit for WCW's emphasis on athletic competition and Souther rasslin'. And he was booked in some really goofy and bad angles.
