Sting was Booked better in 1997 then anyone else...ever
Seriously....There was not a star booked better leading into Starcade 98 better than Sting.

they dropped the ball there.

Another time...

But seriously.





Just a taste...

Try to refute thuis claim, or present your own BEST BOOKED YEAR EVER

Starcade 97 was one of the biggest events of my childhood. Don't think I even ever got that excited for any Wrestlemania.

I am going to agree with this. I think the year-and-a-half build to Sting vs. Hogan in 1997 was the best built match ever. Unfortunately, they messed it up.

I'm probably the only one on TPWW who didn't care for Austin in his "heyday". I liked him in his feud with Bret, but afterwards he got old quick. Didn't like him again until he turned heel and started hugging McMahon.

Austin from The Night After Wrestlemania 14 when he won the title and stunned Vince,all the way to Wrestlemania 15 when he defeated The Rock. Pretty much every ppv was built around the guy the entire year.

Sting was all-round awesome back then, but I gotta admit I always hated when a wrestler would get the better of an entire stable. Besides being absolutely beyond any concept of reality that one man could beat ten by himself, it always bothered me how the people would sneak up behind the lone wrestler and just kinda stumble about with his arms.

In the second video, Buff Bagwell and Randy Savage both have plenty of chances to do something, but instead they just stand there with their arms extended pretending to have problems grabbing Sting. Always hated this.

Man, WCW was goofy back in the day. Schiavone's a terrible commentator in that first video. And everything post-Bagwell dancing is just too corny for words.

I've always wondered, has Hogan ever come right out and said he doesnt like Sting? He pulled the "creative control" card on him twice so that he didnt have to lose cleanly (and that was the reason the Starrcade matched ended so poorly).

That is not why it ended so badly, his creative control was why the ending was changed to what it was suppose to be. The reason the match ended so bad was because Sting was in probably the worst shape of his career, versus a "legend" who had relied on two moves his whole career. Then you have the ref Nick Patrick that counted the 3 count when he was not suppose (he would of either fast counted Sting or a near 3 count pin and still call for the bell). Then to top it all off, you throw Bret Hart in there with no true direction nor any true meaning to the match, so by then it was just random. Yes I am aware of the Montreal Screw Job, but they should of used it a bit better than something that simple. They should really had Hogan put Sting in the Scorpian Deathlock, screw him like that, then have Bret come out and reverse everything.

Sting should've destroyed Hogan at Starcade. With all the ridiculous hype built around Sting finally getting the chance he waited a year for, the match should've lasted all of 10 to 12 mins with Hogan stalling, the NWO getting banned, and Sting going apeshit and mauling Hogan from pillar to post.

The way it was booked was so cluttered and bogged down that it is probably one the worst payoffs ever. I find it pretty sad, honestly. It;s not like it would tak a creative genious to figure out that this match pretty much wrote itself.

I know they needed to debut Bret soon, but they should've done that at a later point, and for ratings reasons, probably hyped it. Him showing up randomly and cutting a promo about not letting "it" happen again, when really, nothing happened, was remarkably confusing.
