The greatest year pro wrestling ever had. 1997.

Also, a reason why monopolies are bad. 1997, many wrestling companies, competing, doing the best they could. Huge crowds, huge ratings.

You don't let Google buy youtube, or Boeing buy McDonnell Douglas, you don't let WWF "buy" WCW.

Wrestling these days, very sad, a mess. WWE is just BLM. Fans being force-fed women's wrestling and diversity.

WWF was great in 1997, but WCW was better. Sting in the rafters, nWo, Goldberg's debut, Mexican wrestlers, Jericho, Steiner Brothers, The Giant, Roddy Piper, Meng, DDP, Luger.

Not sure, but Nitro may be the greatest TV show ever.

Don’t forget Raven returned to WCW in ‘97 as well.

Watched the videos of Sting returning.

Met him a few times, watched so many of his bouts, there was nothing like he dropping down from the rafters and clearing the ring to end a Nitro or a pay-per-view.

A couple of minutes of Sting and Savage in 1997, better than all wrestling today.

Even more fun. When fans were great. You don't get this real reaction these days.

Jericho, maybe not a great wrestler, but very entertaining. Was surprised to hear he donated to Trump for 2020. A good surprise. How he would mock Malenko, even Goldberg, what he did to Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 19, lots of fun. His jacket, his list. Ralphus his WCW bodyguard.

.

Should also add, the first time the WCW was mentioned and it had nothing to do with wrestling, was confused.

I'm the biggest sting fan, first childhood hero, you dont forget your childhood heroes.

Found my inner childhood with sting, Jericho, and 2 wcw commentators on AEW. Made me realize modern American entertainment and media is completely corrupt, there are no role models really.

Found old WCW VHS tapes a few weeks ago when sting got his first title against Flair, and some others.

Need to make America great again. We're losing our culture and way of life.

That is swell to hear. Have attended Sting bouts for at least three wrestling promotions. Still have some of Sting's facepaint on my clothing from the aftermath of one of his bouts.

He even appeared in an episode of Walker Texas Ranger, and Scorpion Death-Dropped Chuck Norris.

Due to this post here, will have to go and view some bouts.

Great picture. The Hulkster who made WWF, and Sting who was WCW.
