Has Sting officially signed with WWE?(This is a question not new information) - Page 2

Can someone point me to a Sting match that I should watch to see what all the fuss is about?

All I really remember about him was when in WCW he would come to ring, beat up 10 NWO guys with a baseball bat and give someone a scorpion deathdrop. I don't recall ever seeing a memorable match but then again my following of wrestling outside of 96-99 has been very limited.

Sting vs Jeff Hardy - Victory Road 2009, maybe it was 2010...who cares

on a serious note:
vs Flair @ CotC 1
vs Cactus on Power Hour (on Cactus' DVD) and @ Beach Blast 92
vs Vader @ GAB 92, Starrcade 92, SuperBrawl 3 (strap match)

his best match is probably vs Cactus @ BB then vs Vader @ SB3

I loved the Sting/Luger vs. Steiner Bros. match too, but didn't like the ending too much, but nitpicking.

First memory I have of Sting, and my apologies if I'm not remembering correct, was vs Flair at Clash of the Champions in 87/88 I think. Went the whole 60 minute time limit I think. I was in 5th grade so details are a little fuzzy.

Ninja edit: 45 minute draw.

I googled for his best matches and I was surprised that match was in nearly every list someone had compiled.

Meh, I don't know.

Sting Vs DDP was a good match but it wasn't one of Stings better matches. His best matches were when he had is surfer gimmick vs wrestlers like Flair and Vader. His best gimmick was the crow one so that's what he's mostly remembered for.

Well the Stinger splash sure was a silly move.

It's probably the only silly move in the history of pro wrestling.
