Starrcade 1997 Live Discussion - July 16, 2020

[Chris]

They had to sell it

 

[Chris]

They coulda swapped him for nWo Sting in Japan and no one would have known

 

[Smart Marx]

The sell was pretty epic, but I'd rather Sting be in shape. As long as he doesn't work on TV, I'm fine with him doing tours internationally. Sting's main story was not working for WCW because THEY turned on him. NJPW didn't.

 

[Smart Marx]

Shit, put him in a mask when he's working Japan.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Put him in a Sting mask

 

[Smart Marx]

Hollywood's ring gear is so great. He's come so far from generic yellow trunks.

 

[Smart Marx]

Another reason 1998 is so good because Sting bounces back fast.

 

[Smart Marx]

Hogan just pinned Sting clean?!

 

[Smart Marx]

What's Bret talking about? Won't let what happen again? That was clean?@

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Yeah that count ain't look fast to me

 

[Smart Marx]

So the announcers finally got what they wanted. Bret's helping WCW cheat.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Twitter would have been going wild at that shit...

 

[Smart Marx]

I will say controversy aside, Hogan tapping for Sting is huge.

 

[Brandon Blaze]

Hogan was robbed

 

[Smart Marx]

WCW has finally toppled nWo?! How will they comeback from losing the belt and Nitro? Do they have any power left? I guess we'll find out in 1998.
