10 Wrestling Stalker Angles

3. The Black Scorpion

The Black Scorpion typically lands on any WrestleCrap.com list due to the absurd nature of the gimmick. In 1990, Sting was as big a babyface in pro wrestling as there was, the franchise player of Ted Turner's organization. But his dominance over the company was threatened by a dangerous newcomer whose identity was a secret to everyone. Shrouded in darkness and with a voice that sounded as if he had spent time gargling Drain-O, he played to Sting's pride and character, goading him into defending his championship against him in a contest. But the stalking did not stop at cryptic video packages. The mysterious figure began showing up in arenas, using the most pathetic attempts at magic to strike fear and paranoia in the Stinger. There was just one problem with the angle: there was no clear answer for who would be revealed behind the hood. Rumors from that period suggest the company had bigger plans than they could have possibly delivered on but, unfortunately, they fell through. With no one else to turn to, they went right back to the tried and true Ric Flair, who was beaten and dispatched of, leaving many to wonder what the purpose of the angle was in the first place. Flair has admitted his embarrassment of the storyline countless times before, and for good reason. It was the height of WCW's stupidity and a sign of things to come over the next decade. With that said, it still was not the worst stalker angle in wrestling history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOJHXy0IeFg
