I guess Ill write my own little review in the comments.
Okay, Sting looks REALLY weird in pink. I mean really weird.
Basic back and forth fighting, until Sting gets the backslide for 2, then does a SWEET slam onto the ramp, followed by a painful one-handed Bulldog. That didnt look like it hurt at all *sarcasm*. Sting attempts a leap on Jack but misses and hurts his balls. Jack then jumps off the ropes for a mediocre elbow drop for 2. The announcer: In WCW, the floors are ALL concrete! Duh. Jack hits a nice neckbreaker, but it looks like he hurt himself in the process. Nice back and forth flow going here. Jack gets a 2-count after the neckbreaker. Wish I knew a bit of the story behind this. Jack hits an awkward looking Sunset Flip on the concrete for 2. That appeared to be a bit botched there, but whatever. Announcer: Both men have not made it into the ring yet Exactly WHAT match are you watching? Last I checked, they both were in the ring, just not at the same time. Sting gets a sweet shot to Jacks head on the barricade. Damn, Jack sold those amazingly. I love the refs reaction right there. Jack gets a Irish Whip on Sting into the barricade. I cant get over how different Sting looked then. HOLY CRAP STING THREW JACK OVER THE BARRICADE! That can NOT be an easy thing to do. Nice suplex in the crowd by Sting. Great match so far, with no apparent winner yet. Suplex got a 2-count. The ref seems to count faster than other refs. Okay, now they are on the other side of the barricade. Wondering when that chair will be used. Back in the ring, and Jack gets a SWEET clothesline on Sting. Jack attemps to hit a running diving headbutt, but it doesnt really connect. Bad camera angle on that move. Okay, really odd camera shot with Sting looking like hes possessed or something. That wasnt freaky at all. Jack hits a nice running shoulder on Sting in the corner. I am just loving this match. Surprised no weapons have been used yet. Now we get a resting submission by Jack. Cmon Jack, at least make it look like youre trying. Sting pulls a Czena and gets out of the hold with some sick elbows to Jacks head. Now Sting is unloading on Jack. Still cant tell who is going to win this thing. Ref just did a funny little hand wave. I quite like this referee. SWEET clothesline by Jack to send them both over the ropes. I can not get over the great back and forth flow of this match. Jack gives us a creepy smile. I find the announcer that is not JR to be annoying. He kind of sounds like the Hulkster. Sting gets thrown into the barricade, and then kicks Jack in the face. That wasnt a predictable move. Okay, I didnt see what just happened because of a really stupid camera cut. I think it was a clothesline by Sting, but Im not sure. And Jack has the chair. About time. Jack shoves the chair into the gut, and then SLAMS it on Stings back. That looked quite painful. And another chairshot to the back, but Jack didnt do a good job with it. I guess hes in love with the chair now. I wonder who is going to make the wedding invitations. Jack isnt doing a good job with those chair shots. The first one was great but the second and third were not high quality. Jack does a fun little taunt after dropping the chair. Jack gets a semi-Mandible Claw on Sting while walking to no apparent spot. Sting gets a nice back suplex, and gets back some momentum. STILL can not tell who is going to win this, and thats amazing. Back suplex got a very close 2 by the fast-counting ref. They both hit right hands at the same time, which is pretty cool. Jack pins Sting for 2, then Sting rolls him up for 2. Sting gets his chest SLAMMED into the barricade by Foley in a sweet reversal. Jack kind of hits a piledriver on Sting, but I think his knee gave way. Jacks up on the second rope, and this could fail epically. It failed. Im not sure if Sting hit him on the way down, or if Sting just rolled out of the way, but either way, it failed. Okay, he just rolled. Thank you announcer. Now they are back on the ramp, and Im guessing that it will finish up around there. Wow, Sting just unloaded with some sweet chops to Jack, followed by a nice powerslam. Sting has some amazing upper body strength. Sting has a chair, and the crowd is going insane here. How is Jack not down after 2 chair shots. Stings chair shots are much better than Jacks. Sting hits Jack in the leg with the chair and tries to get the Scorpion Deathlock, but Jack reverses it, and they roll off the ramp. Woah, sweet overhead camera view there. I still dont have a clue who will win, and there is a little under 2 minutes left on the Youtube video. Thats an amazing feat for me right there. Jack gets a mediocre Double-Arm DDT on the ramp. Sting kicks out, and the crowd is pretty dead. Sting just hit a SWEET running clothesline, and hes going top rope. He hits yet another amazing clothesline from the top rope, and gets the win with it. Great match.
RATING: A Im gonna go with the same grade KB gave. The only bad part of this match was Foleys chair shots, and thats just being anal about it. Up until the very end, I could not tell who would win. Great match, and a definite must-see in my book.
Okay, for my next review, I really need to be less talkative. A lot less talkative.
