10 Dumbest Things WCW Did To Sting
7. RoboCop
Professional wrestling has a checkered history when it comes to cross-promotion. Sometimes it takes a company to the next level like the marriage between WWE and Mike Tyson in 1998. And sometimes its RoboCop. For those of you who were popular in high school, RoboCop was a late 80s action movie about a murdered cop who was brought back to life as a cyborg robot.
The movie made a ton of money, which spawned a few sequels. It would have made sense for WCW to jump on the bandwagon when the first one came out in 1987, but they didnt. This was all about RoboCop 2! The sequel! I dont know if you've ever seen RoboCop 2, but I can tell you that its no Terminator 2. WCWs one-off pay-per-view Capital Combat centred around an appearance by the fictional crime-fighting Frankenstein machine. Who got the privilege of working with him? You guessed it.
During the show, Sting came to the ring to address the fans before being attacked by Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, and Sid Vicious. As they attempted to lock him in a small cage, the late Gordon Solie reacted backstage to the arrival of RoboCop, who was here to save the day. Jim Ross, on commentary, did everything he could to make the ridiculous sound believable.
RoboCop came out to the arena, scared off three of The Four Horsemen, ripped the steel door off the cage, and saved Sting. In an interview on Jim Rosss podcast, Sting called it 'One of the more embarrassing moments of my career, thats for sure'.
