8 Things We Learned From WWE’s Sting: The Lost Tape
A blink-and-you'll miss it hidden gem...
If somebody had said that WWE would upload some backstage footage from a forgettable 1995 WCW pay-per-view onto the Network in 2020 and tack a match onto the end of it, you'd have been forgiven for slapping a Scorpion Death Lock on them.
Alas, they did - 'Sting: The Lost Tape' has landed online, and pretty much nobody saw it coming when WWE were previously focused on The Undertaker's excellent mini-series..
This is, by quite some margin, one of the most random releases on WWE's subscription service. It's roughly 14 minutes of Sting mingling with other members of the mid-90s roster, meeting happy fans and speaking passionately about his career.
