So, considering this PPV occurred about 7 months after my birth, I have no idea what was going on at the time with WCW and stuff.
I just watched WCW Halloween Havoc 97' on the WWE Network. I have watched every PPV leading up to this one. I haven't watched the shows but will when they release them on the Network.
My confusion is with the Sting impostors at the end of the show. I think there was about 5 or 6 of them? Only two of them actually did something.
The real Sting never showed up to say the day or anything.
So my question to those who do know, what was that thing all about?

We should sticky an entire thread and just label it "WCW confusion".
I have no idea about the Stings. I'm sure WCW didn't either.

World Confusion Wrestling, my friend. That was the true definition of WCW.

IMO it was just WCW's way of incorporating the idea of "Crow" Sting into the show without him actually competing in a match. They had been doing it for all of 1997 so you have to imagine with all the Nitro's and PPV's that eventually they were just running out of ideas.

The fake Stings were ridiculous. I remember Tony Schiavone seeing, like, a seven footer in Sting paint and shouting "STING IS HERE!" Like, Sting isn't that tall you tool.
But yea, you were born in 1997. I feel old.

But yea, you were born in 1997. I feel old. I remember that! I think it was Nash in the Sting gear. Tony is freaking out. Crowd is freaking out. I didn't understand. And yeah, I was already graduated from high school in 97. So I know how you feel. |

The way the wrestling industry work is that you had to been witnessing it as it is happening. A person born in 1997 wouldn't fully understand what WCW was doing. I don't think anybody would fully understand the booking WCW had in 1997. Let alone grasp it. I recall watching both the WWF and WCW at the time. One edge the WWF had at the time was they didn't bull**** their fans and give us convoluted angles. WCW did some strange stuff. Its best not to wrap your head around WCW in 1997. If you do, your head will be spinning for days.

I hated all that fake Sting crap. And to be honest, don't feel bad or try to make sense of it because it didn't make any sense at the time either.

And while Tony was a goof, I would take him over current Michael Cole any day of the week.

Maybe. Schiavone was the biggest doofus in commentary history. Every week, "This is the greatest night in the history of our sport." |

It's just that they're so handcuffed and annoying nowadays. Yeah I actually thought he was ok then. But once he went with the heel Cole personality, he has never been the same. That, and I assume they aren't allowed to actually call a match anymore. |
