More from the Observer story. Terry kills Stings career
Sting was the lead face in WCW through the arrival of Hulk Hogan in 1994. Later, when Hogan turned heel, Sting was back as the lead face. In 1997, when the company was strong, Sting never wrestled, but was positioned as the top guy in a year-long build to a Hogan vs. Sting match.
That was the biggest match in WCW history, but it was sabotaged, evidently by Hogan. The build was enough for the show to top 600,000 buys on PPV, the biggest PPV in wrestling history that wasn’t promoted by WWF. Sting was on fire, until minutes into the match, which fell flat. Perhaps Sting didn’t show up in good enough shape. Perhaps the storyline of Hogan dominating the match killed his superhero aura, but Sting wasn’t getting the people behind him with the long selling. The match wasn’t any good. The key spot, where Nick Patrick was to give Sting a super-fast count on a Hogan leg drop ended up being a normal count. At the time Patrick claimed he thought it was a fast count, but years later admitted Hogan told him not to do the fast count. That killed Sting, even though the match was restarted due to the fast count that wasn’t there, and Sting won at the end. But Sting was never the same

Stink don't care, why y'all care?Exactly.at this "mark" talk.
"Sting had no issues losing. He hadn’t for years. While heavily criticized in 1989, when WCW wanted Sting to put over Terry Funk to set up Funk’s feud with Flair and he refused, Sting had stopped making waves earlier. He’d show up, do whatever was asked, and not care one way or the other.
In fact, he talked that he thought he had to lose. He figured his WrestleMania match was his last match, and he didn’t want to do anything but lose his last match, feeling that was the right thing for business"
So why not say something instead of giving this look

Assuming the gif is talking about Ted Turner. Either way, Ted STAYS on Vince's mind while Ted probably forgot all about his dabbling days in pro wrasslin'.
Vince is one of the most egotistical and vindictive men on planet earth.
There was only one way that feud could end.

Meltzer always claims he was never the same but the booking of Nash and the fingerpoke of Doom was what sabotaged WCW. The fans stayed with Sting, no matter how Meltzer spins it.

I swear anybody who thought he was gonna lose was trolling. After Booker T, Vince had to be plain evil to kill off another WCW legend, and the biggest one...I remember 85% of the coli thinking sting was going to go over too
Then he did it. Again.
I hated it, but it took me back to when i watched wrestling as a kid...shyt was too real.

Had my suspicions an L was coming between Hunter/Vince being Hunter/Vince plus with Sting never being a Wins and Losses mark for himself kinda guy.
I had a nice draft saved ready to deploy on fools tho
From a kayfabe standpoint it made zero sense for sting to go over Kang
