Sting was so hamstrung by booking it's not even funny. The Black Scorpion angle killed him deader than dead and then who better to put him up against at Halloween Havoc but fucking Sid Vicious then Starrcade with fucking Flair under the Black Scorpion hood jesus. Ole Anderson was so goddamn awful as a booker in that year. Windham should've gotten the first shot at Sting.
Sting before his injury was heading for big things, he was taking the strap from Flair at Wrestle War then advancing on to the megafeud with Luger who was the hottest heel in the business before being turned because of Sting. Sting & Luger at that time with their momentum could've done some big business I thought.
