Jeff Jarrett vs Sting Halloween Havoc 2000


Sting vs. Jeff Jarrett by Stinger1981

I'm not going to act like this match was not full of stupid stuff. Or that 2000 WCW's bad production did not hurt the better parts. But I'm sorry I just lost it for the Stinger Corps. The feud was set up with Jarrett mocking Sting and saying he had no heart. Dressing like Sting (and aside from the goatee is a dead ringer.) making fun of the old WCW Mastercard commercials Sting did.


So Sting is all fired up to lay a floggin on Jarrett's noggin. His initial burst of offense is interrupted by Sting's trademark howl. It's Sting circa 1989 who looks just like 89 Sting. Sting beats him up and hits the Scorpion Deathdrop. Jarrett tries to ambush Sting but Sting throws him over the railing. They fight thru the crowd asnd Sting hits a suplex.

Now Sting is attacked by 1990 Sting. Wearing the gear Sting wore at Halloween Havoc 90. This guy does not look that much like old Sting. He is pretty bad too. Sting takes him to the same spot on the ramp and hits the Scorpion Deathdrop.

Sting goes back to attacking Jarrett but the Wolfpac theme hits. Bringing out Wolfpac Sting. Madden gets really insufferable here on commentary. Anyway Sting really tears into Wolfpac Sting. Taking him back up the ramp. Which btw is really getting annoying. Hits the Scorpion Deathdrop. But Jarrett clips him with the bat.

Okay sequence with them exchanging sleepers. Sting locks on the Scorpion Deathlock. Now this is awesome. 97 Sting tears thru the ring and drags Sting under. They stay there for a minute til 97 Sting gets thrown out of the hole bloodied followed by the real Sting.

Back to Jarrett and the lights go out. Sting of Christmas yet to come falls from the ceiling. His wig falls off revealing an old man. Sting puts him thru a table.

He locks Double J in the Scorpion Deathlock. 97 Sting has recovered and kabongs him. Sting no sells and vanquishes him with a final Deathdrop. Only for Jarrett to get another guitar and kabong him for three. Yes that bugged me.
