WCW/nWo Revenge - Sting vs. Hollywood Hogan - Starrcade 1997 (Hard)

I am uploading matches inspired by Starrcade 1997, which originally took place on Dec. 28, 1997. The Starrcade arena in WCW/nWo Revenge was based on this event.

I'm playing as Sting on Expert difficulty. This was one of the most anticipated matches in the history of WCW. Sting, hanging out in the rafters and stalking the nWo and Hogan for a full year, finally gets his opportunity to take the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from Hollywood Hogan. Did it live up to the hype?!?

Originally the match was over when Hogan pinned Sting clean in the middle of the ring after his trademark leg drop. Yup, read that line again. Before the timekeeper could ring the bell, Bret Hart stopped him and forced the match to continue, citing that Nick Patrick applied a fast count (he didn't). The match was restarted with Bret Hart suddenly the new referee, Sting putting Hogan in the Scorpion Deathlock, and Bret Hart declaring Sting the winner (ironic that Bret Hart plays the screw job referee role, considering he came to WCW following the infamous Montreal Screwjob). Sting would be stripped of the title the following week and would fight Hogan in a rematch at SuperBrawl VIII...
