For a WHOLE year, this man never spoke a word and sold his own promos just by staring at people. All the kids paid more attention to the rafters than the matches in the ring, The Crow gimmick really stole the show. That's when Sting became the Icon.
Unfortunately, I was born into that generation. I met Sting through WWE 2k19, I fell in love with the character's input and style. Him making his entrance into Starrcade was magnificent. I've been watching WCW since his appearance as The Crow, and it's been a fantastic experience. Somehow, Sting brings a sense of justice, strength, ethics and morals to the character. For me, I see him as Batman and that's why it makes him the greatest character of all time. It's amazing knowing that he was the best known wrestler on the planet at that time. Ah, it also brings me a feeling of resilience, because it is so deep and its characteristics are so similar to Batman makes him so fantastic and deep. This is Sting.
Sting officially retired from pro-wrestling. There is no words that can describe his impact and legacy on the business. Thanks for being one of the all time greats, a G.O.A.T in the eyes of many, including mine. Thanks for everything Sting
Oh...oh my god...this is...I have no words. I am moved by this. This captures the aura of the 96' -97' Sting far better than the original. Genius work.
THE coolest wrestler ever. And the coolest version of said wrestler. Crow Sting from 1996-1997 was THE hero. Never to be seen again. Those of us who saw it live are VERY lucky. Yeah yeah Austin was cool, Rock was cool, this guy, that guy, but NOBODY compared to the epic badassery of Crow Sting.
Man, you managed to make something legendary even more perfect. I’ve been listening to this for years but I just realised I’ve never wrote you my sincere appreciation for your work. I grew up watching Sting and he has been fundamental to me.
One of the all time best and greatest wrestler and one of my all time favorite congratulations to him for his retirement and thank u for all the years legend by far
@@thribs I admit he shouldn't have lost to Triple H, in my opinion, that match was meaningless and never should've happened in the first place but his WWE run in general wasn't bad. They were actually pushing and if I remember correctly, the plan was for him to beat Seth for the WWE title if it wasn't for him getting hurt and having to retire. I hope whatever AEW have him doing, he is successful at it but his WWE run isn't just him fighting and losing to Triple H.
@@MrKingpin1205 I don’t think he should have lost to HHH.. WWE have to put themselves over other superstars. It was a lot of wasted talent from WCW and ECW
I was never big on WCW, but even WWE fans back in the day knew that Sting was amazing and we all wanted him on the WWE. Closest thing to the Undertaker, but instead he's a badass vigilante who lives in the shadows.
Man this theme is BAD ASS! Just imagine if the WWE were to use this for his debut, all of Sting's adversaries would be baking brownies, so to speak. Any chance of you doing alternate versions of other wrestler's themes?
Epic version of a freaking awesome theme. I was a huge Sting fan even during the day glo surfer days. I watched WCW mainly for Sting ad I was left for that period of time but when he came back as the Crow Sting I was enamored with the character once again. Thank you Stinger for plenty of awesome memories
When a man's heart is full of deceit, it burns up... dies... and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse - a wrong that must be righted. We look to the skies for a vindicator - someone to strike fear into the black hearts of the same men who created him. The battle between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes a dark warrior - the purveyor of good - with a voice of silence and a mission of justice...

I remember watching his wwe debut in 2014. I legit cried I was so happy. He’s my all time favorite and the greatest wrestler ever. Been a lil Stinger since I was 5 in 1993.
This is an incredible cover! I don't think I've ever heard a cover that rivals the original as much as this one. It's easy to hear the passion for the Sting character with how well crafted this theme cover is (especially the ending). I especially love the added tone and mood sfx (crows, thunder, rain, etc.), it really makes it stand apart from anything else. It feels like a nostalgic trip through Sting's career just by listening to this song. Very well done!
Steve Borden 'Sting' Stinger they come from missing you and wanting to see more of you and you being every child's hero and us being your fans from day one Stinger you are our hero and all of us Stinger fans love you 😊😊😊💜
As I walk through my neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles, I'm vibing to a song that you would least expect me to. I listen to this all day. Deep and soul uplifting. this goes hard af, in a melody type of way. So hard. 💗
Sting should have jumped back in 99. Imagine him debuting by randomly appearing in the rafters during Undertaker matches, just looking down and silently observing Taker like when he was watching NWO with that Vulture he carried with him. Then Taker looks up and catches sight of him and they just stare at each other. Then another night Sting flies down from the ceiling and costs Taker a victory etc. Build this for weeks or months. This music for his entrance theme at Mania etc. It wrote itself! What a missed opportunity.
There was zero chance he was going to leave WCW, had Bischoff been able to save the company, he'd have stayed rather than the short retirement and going to TNA.
Usually when a wrestler moves to WWE, they don't keep their previous theme song. They get a new theme song composed from Jim Johnston. Well, now it's CFO$.
Sting vs. Undertaker at Wrestlemania - Should have been this: The match would have Taker dominating until Sting gets his 2nd wind. Both guys would fall outside frustrated and Taker hits Sting with the Urn! The ref only sees it afterwards, but Taker gets angry with the ref & distracted enough for Sting to recover, and hit him in the leg with the bat. In the ring Taker gives a chokeslam, then sets up the Tombstone, but Sting reverse balances it and drops him in the corner. Taker gets up but is caught in 3 Stinger Splashes! Sting goes after the injured leg and sets up the Scorpion Deathlock, but Undertaker kicks out, sending Sting into the turnbuckle. Both guys down, Taker gets up 1st and sets up the Tombstone Piledriver. But Sting unbalances back, into a Scorpion Deathdrop! 1-2-3, Sting pins the Undertaker!
This is nostalgic bliss in a 3-minute package. When I saw the words "Enigma TNG" and "Sting Crow Theme" in the same sentence I knew my night would be made.
If The Icon Sting comes out of retirement for one last match at Wrestlemania, it should be in the main event against The Undertaker. It will be dubbed Once In A Lifetime.
There will never be another wrestler like a sting. He was the man and when he adopted the crow gimmick in the fall of 1996 is legacy launched into the fucking stratosphere!

The Crow Sting one of the biggest game changers in pro wrestling ever , WCW Starcade 1997 was awesome and Sting vs hulk Hogan September 30th 1999 that was a good main event for the WCW World's heavyweight championship
Tonight is Sting's Retirement Match. Would have been absolutely dope if he got to enter with this version of his Crow theme.
Shame the WWE had to be so petty and not allow both this theme or any WCW/WWE footage for his tribute that night.
AEW didn't ask
as much as I love the crow theme it was really only fitting at starrcade 97...seek and destroy was Stings best theme
@@cjvaye99more like his worst theme
Thank you 💙
For a WHOLE year, this man never spoke a word and sold his own promos just by staring at people.
All the kids paid more attention to the rafters than the matches in the ring, The Crow gimmick really stole the show.
That's when Sting became the Icon.
True
#Facts
Oh yeah! “Eric Draven” Sting was so cool.
This is the truth
And them match at Starrcade happened and they ruined everything
This dude was pretty much Batman dressed as the Joker. Legend.
That reminds me of the time String snapped, and became the INSANE ICON in TNA
Batman + Joker = The Batman who Laughs
The Crow
I highly recommend reading the comics
The Eric Draven story is fantastic
(Hits joint) broooooooo
@@ericmonaco4509 Like The Batman who Laughs?
The best wrestling theme song of all time which fits the character and defines an absolute icon. That's why- THIS IS STING.
Imagine this theme being used as Sting slowly walks to the ring to fight the Undertaker at Wrestlemania
*slowly is lowered from the rafters
@@johnathanrodriguez445 imagine if taker and sting both descend from the rafters
It would be the perfect setting for the streak to end, and not with Brock Lesnar.
Please don't bring that match up😭
With the bat n taker standing in the ring in his coat n hat? Oh man
rest in power to Scott Hall without whomw we never would have gotten this awesome theme and character
Johnathan Dimmick facts
I’m not trying to be a dick but how did he get this from Scott Hall? Genuinely curious!
@@chrisbond6406 Scott Hall came up with the idea for this gimmick and character
@@nekonebitan2912 yea I think it was after he watched “The Crow” with Brandon Lee and then told Sting about it!

Agree. Also for me, wcw=sting. What a shame it was destroyed.
"THE ICON" Sting has finally retired 🤧😭🤧
This Theme Song And This Look Great But There was no AEW at that time otherwise we would have seen this look in 2002.
Thank you Sting 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you 💙
Welcome back ICON
Whenever I hear this theme, takes me back to being 9 years old watching WCW Starrcade 1997. I'll never forget that entrance and the build up.
This is soooooo epic, I got pumped and goosebumps hearing this version of it
I don't care what anyone says,this is Sting's best theme and always gives chill
Sting officially retired from pro-wrestling. There is no words that can describe his impact and legacy on the business. Thanks for being one of the all time greats, a G.O.A.T in the eyes of many, including mine. Thanks for everything Sting
I cannot explain how much this song has inspired me from first hearing it years ago to now
Awesome!!!
Every WCW fan felt the rage for what has happened at WM31. Sting is a WCW and TNA legend.
Fuck PG era!!!
agree! but if Sting would have joined back when Goldberg did then Sting could have had a great career with the WWE. but I agree. WCW and TNA legend!
PG Era is the best thing that ever happen to wrestling
+Salman Abbas said no one ever
+Salman Abbas no seriously get off UA-cam kid
Starrcade 97 even worse. Hogan being a douche
Oh...oh my god...this is...I have no words. I am moved by this. This captures the aura of the 96' -97' Sting far better than the original. Genius work.
