- For the better part of nearly forty years, Sting was one of pro wrestling's pre-eminent protagonists,
enjoying prominent runs in WCW, TNA, and AEW, as well as a short spell in WWE while captivating the minds of several generations of fans with his enigmatic presence. In that storied, championship-filled career, Sting held World titles on 14 occasions, making him one of the industry's most decorated headliners. As such, his collection of top championships had to begin somewhere, and that somewhere was Baltimore, MD on Saturday, July 7, 1990...

It's interesting that both Sting and Warrior both beat their respective company's "face of the 80s" to win their first world titles. Warrior may have done it first, but Sting ended up with a more prestigious career.
I was going to make this exact comment, but you’ve said it.
You guys at cultaholic truly make the greatest wrestling videos. After a hard day of work, popping a cold one and watching this is the best. Thank you
I love these 'True Story Of' videos! Keep them coming 🙏
Flair helped make Sting. FACTS
Sting beating Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at The Great American Bash 1990 is still one of my favourite moments in over 30 years watching wrestling.
Surfer Sting is my all time favorite outside of Stone Cold.
I started out liking Hogan but quickly switched to Sting when he became the one I was actually able to see wrestle compared to Hulk.
These days I don't know if Hogan makes my top 10 but I've always known that Surfer Sting is top 2.
😄👍
I seen the first clash of the champions. It was super dope to see a match of that caliber on regular tv.
I know it's not too indepth of a topic but I would have loved at least 30 minutes for this one.
All the Cultaholic lads do great narrative work.
😄👍
This was a masterpiece Jack
I still can't believe we never got Sting vs Undertaker
Sting wrestled Mean Mark Calaway a few times
I'll never get over the way you pronounce Ole Anderson lol its "O-lee" not "O-lay"
The small package pin was and always will be Ric Flair’s Achilles heel.
It’s a pity his actual title reign was rather underwhelming.
7:42 I believe Jim Cornette has claimed Flair had said he would drop the belt to Sting and would not go back on this despite what Jim Herd wanted
If Ric Flair won the TNA Championship in 2017, would you consider him a 17-time World Champion?
No . LOL!
If you want to be truthful about it, Flair has more than 16 world title reigns. I think it's more like 19 or 20, but WWE decided 15 years ago that they didn't recognize some of those reigns. I'm happy that HHH is such a huge Flair fan though, at least he'll be smart enough to not have anyone break Flair's record any time soon.
@@ceejluige4816 Ric Flair record is going to be break at some point! I remember in 2012 Taker never going to lose Mania but Brock and Roman beat him!
@@lastdayonearthmysteryman4849 I know Flair is a punchline today (a lot of which he brings on himself) but in the late 70's- early 2000's, he was a great talent/money making/ratings drawing legend. You could say he single handedly kept Crocket afloat for a few years before selling to Turner. I don't think he deserves to be dethroned of that record. I know both Cena and Orton have been positioned to do that, but I really believe HHH will wait til Flair's gone.
@@ceejluige4816 At this for me with Ric Flair after his last match and his AEW run he can lose his record! Plus for me I only remember watching live late 2000s Flair and TNA Flair!
That group of babyfaces surrounding the ring were known, at the time, as The dudes with Attitudes. Rick Steiner, Scott Steiner, JYD, and Paul Orndorff with Sting has their fearless leader. That was fun booking back when factions still meant something because they weren't done to death yet.
The one true wwe documentary channel
This is my second favorite wrestling match of all time. Right after steamboat and Savage.
It's not the big gold belt, it's Ric Flairs belt. We are so fortunate that Ric was willing to put him over. Sting is one of the top 10 greatest of all time.
Thanks 🎉
nice to see cody vs roman got inspiration from WCW
Ah Jack, I can't let that slide. The Big Gold and the Ten Pounds Of Gold are 2 different belts. Sting won the Ten Pounds Of Gold at Bound For Glory 2006.
Sting has always been my second favorite wrestler right behind Macho Man
I was at revolution
About the Four Horsemen being a babyface faction. Has Arn Anderson ever had the face of a baby? I can only imagine him coming out of the womb with a full beard, glasses, and asking for a beer. But on the other hand. That kind of means he has always had the face of a baby.
Nice
Great vid, but almost the end of the greatest NWA era for me.
More sting Videos red sting was my favorite when I was 11 Plus Ready to rumble is the best wrestling Movie Don’t @ me
The fans in Baltimore could not hear jr on the tv broadcast.
Never knew Sting and Rick Steiner tagged
It's still impressive that if all the things wcw fumbled they got sting right.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It sting
6:35 The True Story Of The First Time Ric Flair Turned On Sting
So... Sting > Warrior. He was the Shawn of his team. Think Mcmahon ever thought of that?
Man, real wrestling was so great.
Controversial take,but i liked blonde Sting better than Crowfaced Sting
Excuse me, but Robocop saving people is awesome. Good video otherwise
I can tell you were sitting down. Stand up, Jack. Everyone else stands when presenting. Stop being disrespectful, Jack.
You've commented this on several videos and it's such a weird thing to complain about, it literally makes 0 difference to the video 😂
