  Old NWA is so underrated. You should do an entire series on the NWA era

  Paul Heyman wrestling Jim Cornette is such a weird wrestling fun fact that I didn't know until today.

  JR really sold Dr. Death kicking out of the double clothesline because of his history calling Dr. Death matches in Mid-South and UWF. Both being from Oklahoma didn't hurt either

  Flair won his 5th world Championship at Starcade in 1987 beating Ronnie Garvin. &nbsp; &nbsp;He defended the belt at Starcade 88 against Luger.

  Regardless of this particular PPV, I think the Varsity Club is an historically underrated faction (stable?).

  &quot;Less-than-modified clothesline&quot; is gonna be my new favorite JR-ism

  I think Sting inherited the 90&apos;s, whereas I think both WCW and WWF tried to make Luger a thing and ultimately failed. &nbsp;WCW&apos;s dominance in the Monday Night Wars happened during a time when Sting was on top and squaring off against the nWo. &nbsp;Yes, the WWF guys eventually overtook them, but I think to any fan watching both shows at the time, for a good while Sting was the more tenured and recognized headliner when lined up with the likes of Austin and Rock, but they did inevitably overtake Sting in the pop culture mainstream. &nbsp;While both had mishandled booking and feuds that didn&apos;t pay off for them, I think Sting pulls ahead of Luger in relevance. &nbsp;He&apos;s got a more iconic look, wrestled better matches, cut better promos (granted, not by much) and just had a bigger presence about him on the global stage I think.
