The latter years of WCW generally aren't look upon too fondly by many wrestling fans, but there were still some awesome matches taking place in the promotion, evidenced by a titanic battle between Sting and Diamond Dallas Page. Page was the reigning champion, and would hot shot the belt on one episode of Nitro on April 26, 1999. In a match set-up by Roddy Piper, DDP shockingly lost out to Sting in a fantastic bout, before he'd later regain the World Title in a four way match also involving Kevin Nash and Goldberg. This kind of thing was typical of WCW, flinging the most prestigious belt in the company around recklessly - worse yet, this was months before Vince Russo would join the promotion! http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x20i3n2_wcw-nitro-1999-sting-vs-dallas-page_sport Regardless of any controversy surrounding the title itself, DDP and Sting put together one hell of a match, one that's fascinating to look back on as a time when WCW were still right in the mix as one of the top wrestling companies in the world.
