This week, the legendary Sting joined the No Holds Barred radio show and
here are the highlights.
Sting put over the WWA and the upcoming pay per view where he will work with
Lex Luger. He said its great to be back in the ring with the WWA after being
out 18 months. He felt better and better as the tour went on.
Sting joked as he remembered a conversation with himself, the Ultimate
Warrior and Jerry Jarrett. Back in Memphis, Jarrett told the both of them to
find another line of work when they were starting out. Sting remembered how
bad they were but they obviously improved and went on to have great careers.
Sting talked about the last Nitro where he worked against Ric Flair. He said
that was the way to go out. He said Flair always helped him through his
career. He said although Flair and him only had 8 minutes to wrestle that
night, it was still Sting verses Flair. He remembered the classic match they
had at the Clash of Champions where they went for 45 minutes.
Sting said the most fun time in his great career was the Sting verses the
NWO angle. He loved the look with the white paint and the ball bat. He said
the creative juices in WCW were at an all time high during that period.
Sting gave Scott Hall the credit for the idea for the new look. He said the
look reminded him of a combination of Kiss, Marilyn Manson and the Rocky
Horror Picture show.
Sting feels his greatest accomplishment in his great career was turning WCW
into a huge success. He remembered WCW being second class citizens and to
see them turn into what they became was a huge thrill for him.
He talked about Lex Luger being frustrated overseas with the WWA tour. Lex
was sick with bronchitus and was battling a hip injury. He only had 3 weeks
to get ready for the tour and Lex was 300 pounds when the tour started. With
the injuries, Lex still worked and finished the tour.
Sting doesn't rule out Hollywood but would like one last hurrah to say
goodbye to the fans. He said many fans come up to him and tell him they want
him to come back. He said he would love to be involved in 1 last meaty
storyline and then he would put over who they wanted him to put over.
Sting's favorite superstars to watch are Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy. He
loves how they both work and could watch them all day.
