10 Must See Vader Matches
4. Vs. Sting (WCW SuperBrawl III)
Michaels need only have looked at what Vader's physical threat did for Sting's career.
At SuperBrawl III, the pair worked perhaps the greatest Strap Match in history, and they did it after having one of the cheesiest builds ever. Older fans will cringe when they recall Sting visiting Vader's "White Castle Of Fear" and playing a bizarre game of tug-of-war.
After that hokey lameness, it would have been easy for the match to flop. It didn't, and that's because WCW didn't need B-movie vignettes to sell the chemistry between these men. No, they only had to give Sting and Vader 20 minutes, a straightforward stipulation and the creative license to make it work.
It wouldn't be the best match they ever had together (more on that later), and yet there's something exhilarating about seeing Sting desperately try to haul the mammoth Vader around the ring so he could touch all four corners.
Thank God "Cheatum" the midget didn't make a run in though.
