Posted July 25, 200520 yr comment_2974113 Before ROH on Saturday, Paul, Tom, Phil, and myself watched a few matches. The first was a great TV match from Fall 1994 between Sting and Steve Keirn. This is after Hogan came and you would figure this would have been a 3 minute squash. Nope. This is basically worked around a hip toss early on before Keirn takes over beating on Sting and using some mat work I have never seen anywhere else. Sting wins with a Scorpian Death Lock, right? How about a Stinger Splash? Nope. He hits a friggin GERMAN suplex for the win. ASnd this isn't against Vader, it is against Steve fucking Keirn. Second up Dustin vs. Terry Funk from Florida in 1989. 20 minutes, with Funk dominating for the most part and letting Dustin get in some hope spots. This was 2 months before Funk's famous 1989 run and you can see it here. Third was an even longer Dustin v Jake Roberts TV match from Fall 1992 that is easily Jake's best match ever. Seek all of this out if I can't get the tape borrowed before it gets passed around the horn. Tim

July 25, 200520 yr Author comment_2974260 From what I understand, he was at that ONE taping, just for the Sting match and then gone. But I would have to double check Friedlanders list. Tim
July 25, 200520 yr comment_2974312 You'd think an outing like you describe would get someone more work, but knowing WCW they probably didn't appricate someone showing effort in a prelim match.
July 25, 200520 yr comment_2974390 He was there for a few months actually, teaming with Bobby Eaton in a short-lived tag team called Bad Attitude.
