Who was your favorite...

The best of all time was Sting, I have followed that man through almost his whole career, I'd say the whole, but I wasn't alive for that part.

I've seen him through NWA, WCW, TNA, and actualy at this very moment am wearing a Sting t-shirt.

He was the best when he was blond, with the color face paint, but I'll take him any way I can get him.

P.S. I'm not obsessed, I'm meerly a fan.

Vampiro was always awesome, especially hen he feuded with Sting. I always dug the gothic/dark characters like Gangrel, Undertaker, the Brood, etc. It seemed that Vampiro was the first gothic character WCW had (you can consider the black and white Sting to be one, but I personally don’t). Vampiro had an interesting wrestling style, but it was his gimmick that interested me most. His music, entrance, and pyro certainly caught my attention.

Lance Storm is arguably one of the best wrestlers WCW had ever seen. He got plenty of heat for the Team Canada angle in the US, but when he performed in Canada, the fans tore the roof off. It actually gave me goose bumps hearing the pop he got when he was up north. He certainly deserved to be a triple crown champion. Too bad WWF destroyed any integrity his character had by making him a dancing fool…ugh.

Same thing happened with Jericho. He always perked my interest and made me laugh, especially when he announced the cruiserweight battle royal at (I think) Slamboree of ‘98. ‘Notice this guy’s hat never comes off. The master of ‘Trick Track,’ the master of ‘Da Funk,’ he is Super Calo! Look at those moves ladies and gentlemen!’ His hair was always disheveled, or in the ridiculous front ponytail (something I often imitated with my hair during this time). He’d purposely walk into fans so they’d touch him; so then he’d have a reason to have Ralfus shake his finger and tell them to keep their hands off. Pure genius, especially when he gave wrestlers names like Ron Mysterio Jr., Stinko Malenko, and Quazy Juice Guererra. Too bad the WWF diluted his character as well.

Mike Awesome had very little charisma, but he’s one of the most agile big men the sport has ever seen. He’s often overlooked, but when reviewing old WCW and ECW tapes, his namesake was perfect because he was truly an awesome athlete. RIP.

Of course, there’s the flagship, Sting, who has been my favorite WCW (NWA) wrestler since I first saw him in the late 80’s. I stuck with him from the bleach-blonde flattop to the long black hair. He was always such an interesting character and high-intensity wrestler.

One man who had great matches with Sting was the Great Muta. It’s like striking gold when I find old NWA/WCW videos with Muta. It was certainly a treat whenever he’d visit the US. A great high-flyer and superb technical wrestler (who can do a better corkscrew elbow?), with a fascinating gimmick as well (face paint, green mist, etc.).

And there are other guys I always liked: Benoit, Saturn, Raven, Vader, Malenko, Douglas, Crowbar, Road Warriors, Sid, and the list goes on.

But in all seriousness folks, there’s only one legend…WCW’s greatest world champion ever (no, not David Arquette)…

I'm serious.

nWo hogan, benoit, eddy guerrero, jericho, flair, that's it.

Sting! The man is simply uber cool. Its hard to determine what it is but there was something about Sting's charisma and his style that made him a great entertainer. He was great in any role and although his heel turn didnt work out he was still entertaining in it but what bothered me was that when sting and luger were heels the faces were Flair, Hogan and Hart it was a nice twist but all three of them had screwed him over in the past and i felt it was simply payback time which is why i couldnt boo Sting during that storylines. Loved when hogan was signing autographs for kids and sting sneaks up behind him and says in a squeaky voice "can i have your autograph sir" and the minute Hogan turns around he gets decked. That was hilarious. Also the fact that he could adapt so many different styles from the colourful to the crow sting and the wolfpac.

Vampiro, great wrestler with a nice impressive style. Sadly he didnt work well on the mic but i loved the whole gothic image. His fued with sting really showed his potential and yet he was treated appallingly as he went from a fued with a star like Sting (which really should have elevated his career) to a cheap storyline where he fueded with The Demon and they had this whole he was sent from hell cheesy supernatural rubbish.
