20 Most Horrifically Stupid Things That Ever Happened In WCW
15. Sting Goes To The Dogs
In June of 1999, Sting was engaged in a pretty standard feud with Rick Steiner, who had recently turned heel. No new ground was broken, no imaginations were captured - it was simply a program between two wrestlers that stood to culminate in a match at The Great American Bash that month.
When the time came, the two had a completely unremarkable match... for about nine minutes.
The match spilled out of the ring, as they often do, and the two grapplers brawled down by the backstage area. When they got behind the curtain, though, an ambush took place Rick's brother, Scott, and their associate Tank Abbott were lying in wait. Abbott choked Sting with a towel, but it wasn't the men who would do the bulk of the damage - it was two Doberman Pinschers, let loose on The Stinger.
One made a beeline for his hand (still holding the towel) and the other began biting at his kneepad. Sting was pulled down, but he wasn't out. Before he could blow his comeback on the dogs, though, Scott Steiner returned with an enormous Rottweiler on a chain, which he let loose to attack the 'Man Called Sting'. The canines, employing a Shield-like "pack of dogs" mentality, all went to work on Sting, and WCW's head of security Doug Dellinger ran (presumably for the first time in the 1990s) over, along with a host of guards, to help save the day.
The Randy Savage-cobra angle this wasn't; it was more comedic than frightening and, in the end, did nothing to increase interest in a tepid feud.
