The early 90s in WCW was a weird time. The second part of this miniseries covers Sting's 1990 through 1994, discussing Sting's time as WCW's main character. From his return from injury against Ric Flair at Great American Bash 1990, to his Falls Count Anywhere brawl with Cactus Jack from Beach Blast 1992 and King of Cable brawl versus Big Van Vader at Starrcade 1992, Aaron and Mike evaluate what Sting meant to a rocky WCW, why it feels like Sting was covered in this fashion, and the booking politics game.
