I can't help but think that of all Sting's great moments in wrestling, he actually spent 11 years at TNA, that's amazing
smart more that sting didnt went to wwe after wcw died because if he did, he could had been one of the victim of the reign of terror (HHH).
Sting was great in TNA.
A real great wrestler
Thanks you just saved me 1hr and a half.
His best run I think.
@@thealchemist69666 too bad he left in 2014 to go to wwe. WWE absolutely buried sting back in 2015.
Thankfully AEW is treating him better. It's sad that Sting had the concerns he did about WWE and he was proven right to have them.
I love the intro. But for anyone wondering, the conversation starts @12:00
The 'Joker' Sting was a great way to utilise Steve's strengths while camouflaging that his better days were behind him (was never that keen on seeing him wrestle in a t-shirt) he was way more relaxed and playful with that gimmick. 🙂
I think Sting did a good job doing Heath Ledgers Joker.
@@chico1680 With an additional serving of Jim Carrey. 🙂
Sting was brilliant in TNA
Sting was/is GREAT in EVERYTHING
Sting killed that Character!!!!!
And it was weird at first, but he committed to that character and I absolutely loved it. I specifically remember when he came in with the red suit!!!! That was dope!
hahaha Bischoff's face as he's realising he did agree and Conrad did word it this way 😂
Sting had a great career in TNA
Funny, sting was in wcw for 14 years, and tna for 11! He almost spent as many years in tna as wcw.
Joker Sting was my favorite version of Sting by far
I think there was nothing wrong with Joker Sting. I really liked that gimmick. The main reason why some didn't like it was because Joker is a much more known character than the Crow, so they were essentially too familiar with the source material.
I agree!!!!! I remember watching TNA around that time and I was surprised at good he was!!! I loved Sting as the Joker.
I really liked Joker Sting and Main Event Mafia Sting in TNA.
Sting was dope in TNA
"If you've got the audience asking questions, you've got 'em" love that
Getting a picture with Sting in 2012 was a great price.
Sting was unreal in TNA imo the joker sting was played to perfection
Conrad’s southern bias sure loves da dub-cee-dubba 😅
Brutus Beefcake giving Eric the head shave would have been great.
Enjoying the podcast
Sting made only a handful of appearances in TNA in 2003, then he made 1 appearance in 2004. He didn't wrestle at all in 2005 but officially signed with TNA later that year. & he left in January of 2014. So technically he really didn't work there 11 years. & giving his sabbaticals 8 years at most. Sting added legitimacy to TNA & he was the catalyst for Christian & Kurt Angle amongst others coming in
I have a picture with me and Sting from a TNA show in brooklyn.
Never once during that "heel" time against Jeff jarrett I thought he was the heel. I always new that jarrett, bischoff, hogan, abyss, etc were the heel the whole time.
Sting was right about how WWE would treat him all along
I always had the impression that the 'Joker' Sting was originally set up to make him a heel. The problem is Sting is so over as a face that it was never going to work and for that reason it never really did for me.
30:00 I love double j...so underrated. I liked him as a babyface
The end in 2013 and 2014 sting was loyal to tna like wcw and he was wrestling in high school gyms
Riddle me this
Riddle me that
Who's afraid of the big black bat?
Big black bat? You freaky guy. Is that a code for something?
The only wrestling event I have ever seen in my entire lifetime was in 1999 at a WCW house show in Salina, Kansas and I was so fortunate to see Sting and Brett Hart and Ric Flair and other legends like Curt Henning there. I need to get to an AEW event before Sting retires.
WWEs reasoning for having 3 world titles is beyond illogical but, its to be expected at this point.
4 if you count the NXT Championship
Being honest, I didn't watch TNA once Sting and the other "legends" came in, similar to the way I have tuned out of AEW since they followed that path, so I will need to go back and watch some of Stings run in TNA. I did like the "Joker Sting's" look.
Ok..... who gives a fk
Whenever I think of sting in tna, I can't help but think about that Jeff Hardy deal.
Is Eric the first person in wrestling history that had his head shaved who wasn’t balding 🤣
I love how Eric was preparing himself for the head shave all week (warning wife) and here he tries to avoid it by any means possible!...... even implying video tampering!😂👍
I really liked a lot of his segments in tna
Sting had a great run in TNA while his run in WWE I and I'm sure Sting would rather forget.
Fly in the Honky Tonk Man for that shave
BROOOOO, I'M TELLING YOU, I KNOW THE PERFECT GUY TO SHAVE ERICS HEAD....BROOOOOO
Lol @ Eric catching himself from saying Steve and correcting it to Sting around the 26 minute mark.
It's okay bud, we know.
To me (Millennial who watched TNA growing up) the only valid version of Sting is the Crow. Neither the original surfer nor the Joker did anything for me or felt authentic
Eric we've already seen you almost bald, come on
I think wrestling rankings and keeping win loss records is ok, as long as it only counts for tv matches, excluding tag teams, example if aj styles is on a singles run and is 8-0, if he moves to a random tag match, it doesn't count against him if he loses that match. It also is cool because you don't get random guys stuck together. If your in a tag team, you basically stay there, until you break off and run solo, or vice versa.
I think that video was AI generated.
56:17 the hungry birds story in Suddenly Last Summer is worse. You don't even see the visuals but it's absolutely stomach turning (Katharine Hepburn sells it so well)
Topic @ 12:00
Macho man with no neck nice
Given the abysmal way that Hogan treated coworkers over the years, it's fitting that he went out with a whimper. And it makes me love TNA-Impact more that they didn't kowtow to him and roll out the carpet for his exit. He didn't deserve it, in the end.
Punk hasnt showed up yet. Shoukdnt they wait and see if he shows?AEW has already shown it has a locker room full of pre madonnas calling themselves EVPs.
Mrs b should do the shaving
damn i was never attracted to bischoff wcw/wwe/tna but these last few years hes gotten pretty hot.
Should jave got him a tnt hat
Not a fair bet considering Conrad is younger so can grow his hair back quicker (or at all)
Heard Eric was being a diva while he was here in Springfield.
Ive been a big fan of wrestling for 35 years. I had known of it at 7 or eight, but 10 is when sh*t got real. Flair vs Sting COTC #1.
I try to be neutral about Russo and Cornette. Or Eric and Cornette, or Bill Watts and Cornette, or Paul E. and Cornette, or everyone except WWE and Cornette.
I got sidetracked.
When it comes to Russo's influence on the Attitude Era, I get confused.
Russo succeeded as a writer, AND ONLY as a writer, once he got promoted to Vince's bottom bitch.
Has Russo delivered anything good since he left the Fed?
Thats a sincere question.
It took the evolution of a company that had put a straw in the ground next to every territory in the Lower 48 and slurped that mthrfckr until all that remained was sadness and tumbleweeds.
The conception is, adding Russo to the braintrust powered up WWF to create the Attitude Era.
Now it seems Russo would diarrhea an idea and Vince with his braintrust would salvage whatever portion was the least insane and turn it into pure uncut raw heroin that is still surfing through my veins to this very day.
OHHH WHAT A RUSH!!!
RIP Hawk.
Sorry for my length.
My wife tells me its a problem. 😎
Why are you not bald lol
I will ONLY shave Eric's crotch. Head?! That''s amateur hour...
I have to be honest and say I couldn’t stand joker sting. There were times I thought I was going to buy into it like when the cam would show him talking to himself while walking around backstage. But he just seemed to be a goofy Jim Carey ripoff more than the crazy type of sting I wanted to see
Or....😂😂❤
Can this podcast stop doing ads 20% of the time? I used to listen for 5 years and stopped when I had to keep skipping. Unlistenable.
Yall desperately need voice over help. BAD.
Sting was good in TNA. Its just TNA wasnt good 🤣🤣
Disagree. There was a moment when TNA was more exciting than WWE in the mid 2000s…..

@@delbertprince5302 once hogan came into tna it went down hill. Imo but before hand when it was new with the alpha male, r truth, and jeff hardy debut, aj styles going crazy with the x division thats when it was really good. After that not so much. Its hard to keep up running next to wwe for so long the competition gets exhausted and falls out.
Cringe. Worst period of Stings career. A wrestler ten years past his prime, doing cosplay everyone had being done better for 5 years.
Who's to say he won't get into another argument and leave and legit not come to All In? That would mean that Eric wins the bet. August 27th is still a LOOOOOOOONG way away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Except the bet was whether Punk would show up at the Double or Nothing ppv or return on the June 17th Collison show in Chicago .
@@chico1680 I thought the bet was that wasn’t a work?
@@chico1680 No, Conrad goes that there's no way that he ain't turning up at the PPV, meaning All In. I bet by All In Punk will throw another tantrum. Eric should keep his hair intact until then. Hope he reads this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After Crow Sting had that Starcade match, im not sure if was the next night on Nitro, he and Hulk were in the ring. Tons of backstage people separated them.
Sting looks at Hulk, close to the camera, and in the most deadpan lowkey voice he says, "You're a dead man".
That was the most intense interaction ever in wrestling. Not my opinion. Its a matter of record. 🫠
If Tony Khan actually shaves Bischoff's head i'll be subscribed forever
