10 Best 'Meet The REAL Villain' Moments In Wrestling History
6. Sting's Friend Turns On Sting #23084
...but this one was the best one.
It became a device so clichéd that WCW were in the middle of one of the best incarnations a year after this Halloween Havoc '95 angle that they had to drop cold due to the New World Order. Locate any episode of Nitro between February and April 1996 and enjoy Lex Luger showing nothing but disdain for the ringside fans while flashing the widest smile to old friend 'The Stinger'.
It's a hoot, just like this one.
Ahead of WCW's October showcase, Ric Flair and Arn Anderson had uncharacteristically been at each other's throats, to the point where Flair reached out to his longtime rival for help because he was the only one that could. Sting threatened and warned and promised that Flair was done for if he yet again betrayed his trust...but the 'Dirtiest Player In The Game' did it anyway. After Sting had worked the bulk of a tag match against Anderson and Brian Pillman, Flair arrived for the hot tag then pivoted his hips and decked the WCW icon.
The Horsemen were reborn, and not for the first time, they'd made Sting their first victim.
