I'm almost done disc 2 and as a Sting fan for basically 3 decades, I have to tell you all that I absolutely LOVE this Documentary. The style was perfect, Sting' such an honest, laid back kind of guy - he's frank about turning it on for the camera and switching it off when he has too. Like many others said, I loved those moments in his farmhouse/shed where he goes through his old merchadise. It is amazing he's kept most everything and hasn't auctioned them off like his former tag partner used to do. And although we don't share the same faith, I have utmost respect for the guy to stick to what he believes in. He's not shoving it down anyones throat, and I can appreciate that. Very humble individual - so happy he was my childhood hero and still is today! Can you imagine being Sting's sons growing up. He was a wrestler that actually made an effort to be home for his kids. wow. I cracked up when his one son said when he was younger all his friends would ask him to have his father sign the back of their papers...so when he would go to his friends houses he would ask their fathers for their autographs because he thought that was what kids did. lol I had a bunch of errands to run today so I am hoping to be able to find time to watch disc 3 tomorrow. |

The Bischoff part WAS very interesting. I figured he would cover for Hogan and Sting would do what Sting does, be polite about everything. But Bischoff seemed protective of Hogan, yet honest. I NEVER expected him to say Hogan didnt want to do the job or even go into why. I figured he was going to say, this was the plan all along and Sting was well aware, etc. I remember watching Starcade 97 live and about died when I saw Hogan get the clean 3. I was cursing to high heavens saying I would never watch WCW again. 1 year build in one of the greatest stories ever told and this??!?!? I was still confused when Bret Hart came out. I saw it was a clean 3 and Hart is out there crying about someone being screwed. Technically, that person was about to be Hogan. LOL! Yea, when I was a younger wrestling fan (and a bit more naïve) I think I thought that the ref screwed up & didn't "count fast" like he was supposed to..... I forgot that this was another Hogan power play. Gosh, someone needs to publish a list of Hogan's wrestling crimes, I think I got swept up in the Hulkamania Revivals that I forgot about all the horrible things he used to do (and I don't mean the racism). I can't believe they built that feud for more than an ENTIRE YEAR and Hogan still refused to do the honors! What possible reason could he have had for not putting Sting over? Current WWE re-written "history" leads us to believe that the Hulk Hogan character had just gotten stale by 1995 - but those of us who remember those days know there were a LOT of other reasons that the fans were turning on Hogan...... And yea, I forgot about this - but another amazing part of this DVD is that discussion. I thought the same thing. Ref messed it up. Later, I thought Hogan paid him off b/c I had already become knowledgable concerning Hogan's politics at this point. I was such a HUGE Hulkamaniac when I was young, it took me a number of years to truly understand how horrible Hogan was as a politician. This was a HUGE example. I think your idea of Hogan crimes thread is a great idea. I look forward to reading it. |

Just finished the first disk and it was great. Gave detailed insight to the whole process behind finally getting Sting to WWE. Hated to see it end.
I loved seeing how much Sting and Triple H respected each other. And how much their match meant to both of them.
Got my E39 Sting today, so that makes this Sting day in the marino13 household.

He watched him vs Flair for the wCw champion. Vs Hogan at Starrcade. And vs Flair on the final Nitro. They don't show the entire matches, just bits and pieces. |

I watched it last night. Fantastic. Simply fantastic. It was cool to see that he's kept all of his gear from over the years.

It was a really good watch, but I want a more in depth look at his career like the old documentaries they used to do.

I like Hogan a lot, but his personal choices really piss me off sometimes. He's so ignorant to just how much damage he caused WCW. I can't wait to get this DVD. I gotta agree. I've always loved Eric, even when I've hated him, but I drop a face palm every time he mentions Hogan only used his creative control once. While technically accurate, he didn't need to use it when he could basically tell the head booker he didn't want to do something and they went ahead and changed things for him. Can't wait to carve a little time out to watch this. I might even be able to coax my wife and son to sit down and watch this one. He was about 1 and a half when the Network came out and every time we'd watch a WCW PPV and he saw Buffer for the main event he'd yell out "Wumble!" |

Well, yeah, but if he hadn't run in and dropped the leg on Macho in '96, probably no boom period in the first place. The nWo (and associated creative control contracts) made WCW, and also broke WCW. Hogan Gonna Hogan. |

I know -- but without Hogan's shenanigans for the previous 18 months (and really, the previous 15 years), Starrcade 97 wouldn't have mattered much anyway. First he giveth then he taketh away. That was always the double-edged sword with him, he could do what other wrestlers couldn't but then you were stuck giving in to his demands. |

Another thing I liked was Sting & Triple H explaining the handshake following their WM match. I know a lot of people had a problem with the booking behind it. Now we know it was unscripted and they weren't in character. Just two men who respected each other.

I doubt we'll ever get it. Scratch that - Hogan's revisionist history would just make me angrier. |

The worst part about this documentary is when it's over.
