The best Sting theme of all time...........

[jontabs]

In the wake of all the Sting speculation, I got around to thinking, "what was the best theme song Sting used in his career" ?

I'm not asking you guys, what theme he should use IF he does sign with the WWE, rather, I'd like to get your views on which theme song would be best fit when you first think of Sting. SCSA had the breaking glass, Angle had the trumpets, HBK had Sherri Martel, Bret Hart had the guitar riff, etc, etc.

Also, which theme song best complemented the character he had going at that time.

For me, I have to go with his Seek and Destroy theme. You had the wicked guitar solo as an intro, plus it was fast paced and intense. As much as I liked the brooding crow gimmick, Sting isn't sting with out his "Sting crowing".

Old school wrestling fans, what are your thoughts?

In my opinion,

Crow Gimmick - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fTZydB359w&feature=related

Stinger Gimmick - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uho6rvmGRvs

Sting's TNA theme song was by far the worst i've seen. I loved his dramatic crow gimmick theme from 97', fitted the character tremendously well.

I would have to say the Crow theme because it matched the Crow gimmick better than any theme matched any character in wrestling besides maybe the Undertaker, it made you feel the torment Sting was selling.

Not to mention the fact that he had that sadness in his eyes always, he never spoke: Sting in 1997 would be the best executed character I have ever seen in wrestling.

The best sting theme is the 2nd wcw theme which I will post. Then the 2nd best is the crow theme from 1997.

For me, I have to go with his Seek and Destroy theme.

Yep, can't go wrong with Metallica.

It's gotta be "The Man Called Sting" for me everytime, I remeber watching WCW as a kid, & the whole place going nuts when his music hit:

Closely follwed by this bad boy:

Same reason as above, I just prefer the 1st one

For me, it's Seek and Destroy, suited him to a T.

 

[UnBEARaBULLfan]

For me its seek and destroy, the crow theme then a man calle Sting, the first two fit the character of the moment and the third is what it is to the point of who was coming out but it was still up tempo just like Sting was.

"The Man Called Sting" was the best for his surfer gimmick because it was intense and fast pitched like him, the eerie theme suited his dark character cuz it reflected his emotionless demaenor.

 

[AntiChristDeicide]

For me the best Sting theme, is the «Crow Sting» theme. I liked that theme because it reminded me of The Crow movie ( Yeah i know thats why its known as the crow sting theme but for the benefit of newer wrestling fans that don't know about the movie i had to explain). I also liked it because its was so similar to how the Undertaker came to the ring (during the ministry of darkness era).

As I said last week in a post about The Stinger, I would totally go with his Man Called Sting theme song. It always got me riled up for The Stinger. I think if Sting were to show up in the WWE, I would want him to lighten up on "The Crow" image and head back towards the original idea of Sting, maybe a hybrid of crow Sting and Sting from like '94-'96. Colorful face paint and black tights with colorful scorpions. I don't really get around to watching much TNA, Was he doing the howl in TNA?

Instead of infracting 1/2 of the posts in this thread, I'm just going to move it to the spam zone.

NOTE TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER: PLEASE DO NOT CREATE THREADS IN NON-SPAM SECTIONS UNLESS YOU FEEL THEY WILL NOT BECOME SPAM TRAPS. THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH EXPLANATION POSTERS CAN GIVE ABOUT THEIR OPINIONS ON WHY THEY THINK A THEME SONG BETTER FITS A PRO-WRESTLER.

His original theme sounds like a lame rip-off of the Ultimate Warrior's theme (like the kind you'd find on a wrestling game where they didn't have licensed music). Seek and Destroy was the best.

Didn't him and Warrior team up before Warrior went to WWE/F? Im pretty sure i read somewhere they was tag partners.If so how could he be a rip off of a person he was teamed with.If anything the Warrior was a rip off of Sting.


Hellwig and Steve Borden, who would later go on to success as "Sting", formed a tag team known as the Blade Runners, with Hellwig changing his ring name to "Blade Runner Rock" and Borden changing his name to "Blade Runner Flash". Debuting in the Memphis, Tennessee-based Continental Wrestling Association (CWA) promotion, run by Jerry Jarrett, the team played baby faces at first, but fans were actually slow to take to the hulking duo in a territory that had featured sympathetic "good guy tag teams" like the Rock 'n' Roll Express and The Fabulous Ones. They were quickly turned heel as The Blade Runners. The Blade Runners went on to wrestle for the Mid-South Wrestling promotion, which became the Universal Wrestling Federation (UWF) in 1986. They were part of Eddie Gilbert's Hotstuff International group, before disbanding in 1986 when Hellwig left

Be interesting to see who used what first but considering they was tag team partners i don't see an issue with them having similar characters in competing promotions.

As for the topic of the thread... Seek and Destroy was great but i'm going to have to go with the theme he came out to when he first started the Crow gimmick.
