The Evolution of Sting (Sting wants Hogan! Part 4/6)

Welcome back to this ongoing feature on Sting’s transformation into a dark, secretive, bad-ass that made sense and would have you tuning in to Nitro on Monday Nights to see more. We are right smack dab in the middle with part four of six, and starting off in March 1997 before heading all the way to the week before Starrcade. As we left off last week, Sting had seemingly joined the nWo as Hollywood Hogan, Dennis Rodman and other cronies acted like they had not a care in the world. We’ll see that does not last for too long. Check out the introduction, part two and part three to catch up.

The best storyline of the ’90s as far as WCW was concerned revolved around Sting’s transformation beginning in 1996 that dominated Nitro through 1997. You can check out the introduction to this series and part two to catch up. Where we last left off, Sting had just aligned himself with “Macho Man” Randy Savage while the others on the roster were also undergoing “the bat test.” In part three, we are left to wonder, what does Sting want?

The Evolution of Sting: Sting Tests the WCW Roster (2/6)

This feature will look back at the most lucrative and famous period in the long, long career of Sting: 1996-1998 WCW. With a week by week look (thanks to YouTube and Daily Motion, a vast majority of this time is available at the touch of a finger) over six parts, you will be able to see again or for the first time the memorable transformation and incredibly slow build that highlighted Monday Nitro for over a year. Is it as awesome as fans remember or will the nearly 17 years that have passed bring it back down to Earth?

The Evolution of Sting: 1996-1998 (Intro – 1/6)

One of the top stars in America of the past generation was Sting, arguably the most popular figure in all of WCW’s lifespan. As it relates to the WON HOF, he is also one of the most discussed candidates who still has not gained enough votes to be inducted. Last November, he garnered 38% (down from 43% in 2011) and fell short by 56 votes. Debate regarding his candidacy continues to thrive, almost right down the middle with people passionately supporting his case and others who vehemently oppose it.
