The packaging for WWE's new 'The Best Of Sting' DVD contains a major error. The back of the DVD and Blu Ray case features a brief synopsis on Sting, in addition to three photos that aim to showcase his career. However, in a glaring error, one of those photographs doesn't show Sting. The middle photo is actually Jeff Farmer, the impostor Sting who portrayed the role as part of a NWO angle in September 1996. The 'NWO Sting' was clearly a phoney, as you can tell from his bigger body and subtle differences in hair and face. Somebody in WWE's images department is probably getting laughed at right now for this mistake, possibly even getting a bit of heat from his bosses. The impostor Sting storyline ran through the autumn of 96. The NWO were looking to get one over on the WCW side by making it appear that Sting had turned his back on his fans. Jeff Farmer, who had been wrestling as Cobra, dressed as Sting and attacked Lex Luger, thus kicking off the angle. The ruse later came out and 'fake Sting' was sent packing by the real Stinger. In 1997, Farmer ended up travelling back and forth to New Japan Wrestling, where he was part of NWO Japan - where this photo was taken from. The Best Of Sting DVD was released on Tuesday and contains a selection of Sting's greatest matches. You'll get to see classic bouts against the likes of Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. Unfortunately there isn't a documentary portion of the production, but this remains a great collectors piece for any serious wrestling fan.
