Sting Starrcade 1997 Theme

Since Sting posted that cryptic tweet "7.14.14.", I've been listening to his theme non stop. So here it is guys, his Starrcade 1997 theme with the awesome intro and thunder effects....

[@kingmalice4000]

Fun fact: The kid doing the monologue was Eric Bischoffs son Garret.

[@ChrisManley1994]

I always thought it was one of Sting’s kids

[@hafizsyednomanali6868]

Garrett Bischoff from TNA?

[@kovy274hart]

Wow. I never knew that and was wondering. His kid did a great job.

[@ctt4lfecw]

King Malice wow never knew that lol

[@thebat4763]

Sounds like Haku from Naruto

[@TrenchcoatNinja3]

Just think, Crow sting vs Ministry Undertaker. Would've been a great one.

[@KingAceHernandez1291]

TrenchcoatNinja3 it would be a tied for them both but good one to

[@deronnekingcaid4328]

TrenchcoatNinja3 it would be crazy awesome

[@4ArchieLee]

Naw still can't see it meant for wcw

[@davesnyder7488]

It would've been an epic tale that lasted long throughout generations and spoken of for years... God, the kid in me dies for a ring moment still...

Sting still got fucked over. He didn't beat Hogan clean.

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

+James Lenjelo havent u seen it? sting actually lost to hogan clean.... they failed to make it fas tcount, and bret with his screwjob stuff was so stupid. after 2 years build up they should have made him more legit than goldberg during his streak.....

[@NostalgicMem0ries]

Esther Roberts read more about it lol, most fans agree that it was joke. one of worst matches ever

[@spokester9000]

I get goosebumps everytime I hear the epic speech from the kid.

[@shawnflanagan4995]

without the text, it's a cool song. with it though, next level.

[@pinkpastelhearts]

thats actually one of sting's son's narrating the speech

[@jacquobangalter2677]

Everytime there's a thunderstorm in the sky, I'd listen to this theme song of Sting. It's like he's out there, hiding in the rafters of an abandoned warehouse.

[@ryanwilliams5025]

The Undertaker v Crow Sting in their prime what a match that would have been

[@american-canadianwrestling2650]

Even if they were in their 50s it still would have been a dream match but, like always, Vince denied us that RIGHT.

[@apocalyptoleo]

exactly! I mean I haven't been a wrestling fan since 2003 or so, and when heard sting was finally wrestling I was excited until I heard it was against Triple H, I was kind of hoping it would be undertaker.

[@kurtcometa4818]

triple h is somehow bullshit burying wcw wrestlers. goldberg for example thats why i dont like triple h

[@realxtraki11er]

Kurt Cometa he buried goldberg because he said no to wwe if he would've said yes that wouldn't happen

[@realxtraki11er]

Mickey Ott no crow sting is dead the sting today was the only choice if crow sting came out it wouldn't make sense

This gives me chills!!! This. Is. Sting....

[@Bebop_Elysium]

This music should've hit at Survivor Series.

[@MaskedMuta]

I completely agree. I'm glad I wasn't the only one that said "Wth?!" about his theme.

[@rjc32586]

Not just the music but the whole creepy kid speech too. The words of it perfectly explain his interference in the Survivor Series match.

Too bad the wcw fucked him and disgraced him but having him losing to Goldberg everytime. I understand passing the torch, but sting is a wcw legend.

[@domagojkersun9630]

+Esther Roberts I wished then that the Stinger would be the one that will end Goldberg's streak.

[@Frosti1icus]

I so agree. I remeber when Sting almost beat Goldberg with a Deathlock, but Hogan came down and ruined it.

I believe he turned crow not just to go dark. But to also honour Brandon Lee. I could be wrong

[@LongHuynh-bx5ll]

Definitely wrong scott hall convinced him to change his mind

[@johnathanrodriguez445]

It was because of the nwo and new wcw sting was in mourning

[@andrewkruzienski770]

I hate how WWE always glosses over Sting in 97. He was the biggest baby face on the planet by a country mile.

[@THECH0SEN0NE82]

wwe history lessons only acknowledge the montreal screwjob, bret vs austin, kane debut and dx formation when talking about 1997

[@ziahamm1603]

As much as I love Sting no one was more over as a face than Stone Cold that year post face turn. But I agree, WWE do him and the business a massive disservice by ignoring Sting. He was the only one that beat the shit out of the nWo (until they managed to fuck that up at Starrcade)

[@thebigz3786]

@@THECH0SEN0NE82 I watched WCW and WWF on the WWE network from 1997 to 1999, and while Sting and his story was incredible, the crowd was deafening the minute they heard that glass shatter. I just wish they still have the network and not peacock. That library of WCW and other promotions was absolutely priceless.

[@Jay_Digital]

@@ziahamm1603 If we're taking 1997 definitely Sting had the edge over Austin. It was not until they really fucked up Starrcade and Austin had his confrontation with Tyson in early 98 that Steve really became the man and the biggest star in wrestling for the next two years.

[@ziahamm1603]

@@Jay_Digital im not sure. I think Sting had a bit of a limit as to where he could go once he beat Hogan. Austin on the other hand just had a rocket strapped to him and his journey towards the WWF belt was a bit more intriguing. Thing is I think Austin breaking his neck got the fans on his side even more so there was a big sympathy factor and wanting him to get healthy ASAP so he could get revenge against Owen and the Harts and then start going after HBK too.

[@tgrfan42069]

greatest theme ever..even the words at the begining fit well with the story line at that time

[@casanovaclown]

Im very proud of Scott Hall for creating the "Crow Sting" gimmick. Scott Hall didnt get the recognition I thought he truely deserved. Im also proud that Scott Hall was born in St.Mary's County, MD where im from and went to my High School.

[@jaykaria4776]

The child talking at the beginning is absolutely EPIC! It gives the song that edge along with the thunder sounds. This is great.

[@ZBOXINGTALK]

Sting was definitely a bigger draw than Undertaker ever was, all respect to Taker for his long time in WWF but he was never the main man in Wrestling. Sting was the number one wrestler in 1997, 1994, and 1990 no doubt. Sting should have been the one to end WWE by beating Hogan at Starcade, but Hogan’s ego ruined everything and destroyed WCW

Words can't explain what we felt when Steve Borden transcended into the crow gimmick and then became the very embodiment of the gimmick. You think he was mistreated after 97 on accident? No, that was his punishment for taking wrestling to a height that no team of writers, no superstars, no Hull Kogans no Rocks or McMahons could ever reach again he flew too close to the sun.

@@BigMuggs21 No, even that was screwed up. From what I've heard, Hulk Hogan did everything he could to make sure Sting would have a tainted victory. For example, he had the referee do a "fast count" that was a lot closer to a standard count. So when Bret Hart grabbed the timekeeper's arm to keep him from ringing the bell, it looked like Sting was the one who was cheating, not the nWo.
