[Ricky Smarks]

Jimmy is in the building! But who's side is he on?!

 

[O-Blaze]

Your hero is here

 

[O-Blaze]

WCW TIME!!!

 

[Ricky Smarks]

The yellow turnbuckles are such classic WCW.

 

[Chris]

This gonna make me wanna rewatch The Crow tbh

 

[Jimmy King]

It's showtime

 

[Ricky Smarks]

This intro is so Crow inspired and yet so epic. Hogan image on the glass is such a great analog.

 

[Sky]

Epic Sting hype package to start, you gotta have an epic Sting hype package the way you built this up.

 

[O-Blaze]

That was that video package I think that people compared to the Undertaker one and had people thinking Sting was coming ain't it?

 

[Chris]

The lauching bombs on the ring bruh

 

[Sky]

WCW workin' DC? They're away from home

 

[Jimmy King]

The Crow is an awesome movie

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Sting about shattered the glass ceiling and save WCW from the nWo holding everyone down. What an opening package. Perfectly sums up the story.

 

[Sky]

Young Tenay looks surreal

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Yeah, WCW started moving North around this time and DC becomes the de facto home of Starrcade for a year to come.
