This episode of WCW Blunder looks at the many times Sting has been betrayed in World Championship Wrestling. From The Road Warriors to Ric Flair, from Bret Hart to Miss Elizabeth; even the WCW Executive Committee have turned their backs on Sting. This video covers each and every one of these betrayals while asking an important question; why did Sting remain so trustworthy?

So here's something interesting I realized by watching all this time: back in 1995, Hogan was telling Sting Luger couldn't be trusted and now in the timeline in 1999, we have Luger telling Sting Hogan can't be trusted. It was like creative wrote continuity without knowing. Typical WCW.

[@DasNordlicht91]

Dunno about you, but that Halloween Havoc 1995 betrayal always made me laugh, if only for Ric Flair’s little strut after getting tagged in before he punched Sting. It’s supposed to be a devastating heel moment, but it’s just so funny.

His short lived tenure in wwe upset me a lot...he has said himself in umpteen interviews that he doesn't blame seth rollins but I beg to differ. Anyways he didn't let that shizell stop him and did great things in AEW...he projected Darby Allins career to more than he expected himself...KUDOS KUDOS KUDOS

[@bethanyduffy5381]

Id say Vince pulling the trigger on the Montreal Screwjob was a huge blunder !! If he just paid Brett a little bit more it would've changed alot of things. Being 1. Brett never would've left 2. Brett not leaving, gives us more Brett vs Austin, then vs The Rock, etc 3. Owen wouldn't have DIED !!!! 4. Brett wouldn't have gotten kicked by Goldberg, essentially ending his career. 5. So we would've had more years of a healthy Brett going up against Cena, Orton, Brock and so on !! So much ruined by that Blunder. And I know its not technically WCW, but it kinda is due to Brett going to WCW and then Vince buying it anyways.

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

Technically Abdullah The Butcher was Sting's tag team partner at _Starrcade '91: Battlebowl The Lethal Lottery_ against Brian Pillman and Bobby Eaton and Abdullah turned on Sting during the match...

The Super Brawl 8 blunder ought to have 2 points because wcw booked Sting for another tainted win over Hogan. The only clean victory Sting got over Hogan was TNA Bound for Glory 2011

[@suntanironman]

All Sting ever wanted was to love and be loved. It’s actually heartwarming that Sting never stopped believing in the power of love. It might have taken a few decades, but he finally found the one whom would never betray him (Darby Allin). True love conquers all! ❤❤❤ (And thankfully - due to retirement - nobody can ever book Allin to betray Sting… I hope. 😅)

[@Insomniaaron]

Little wonder why Sting called Darby Allin his best partner. Because unlike pretty much every other partner Sting had, Darby didn't betray him.

[@HALBY400]

It's crazy to think that the Giant was booked better than The Big Show and Paul White, for that matter. It's amazing that Paul had such longevity considering his chronic poor bboking.

[@timwright3218]

Look. There're a lot of people out there with friends that they know can't really be trusted but you still want to believe in their ability to get better. Sting's continual attempts to trust guys like Luger kinda spoke to that to a lot of people. Which is why Cynical Sting didn't really catch on in WCW. He could be gloomy and pissed about the situation but 90's fans, despite wrestling moving away from whitemeat babyfaces, really couldn't handle a Sting that didn't trust openly.

[@HereIsWisdom1318]

11:00-I always contended this is the Real Sting, but WCW had to backtrack cuz Sting with the nWo, or just against WCW would make WCW too weak!

[@SlimSlashie]

You know what? I never liked Sting. He always seemed, to me at least, like he was phoning it in. He never had passion or fire, and he was the "top guy" kinda by default. Basically he was the best they had, which isn't saying much when the best you have can't promo and just goes through the motions in the ring. Then Hogan comes in, and, well that's not gonna work for me brother so I stopped watching WCW.
