Jeff Farmer

Um, and I've never heard of the team, uh, Thunder and Lightning.

I looked them up, and Lightning is Jeff Farmer, who-

Ooh

... would go on to play bogus nWo Sting later on when the nWo takes over.

Doppo's Finger, which I guess he makes his rounds, look just like the Stinger.

Like, I mean, if you d- if you saw him at a, at a signing or something, you would really think he was Sting.

[laughs]

Bro, he, he had the bat and everything, had the jacket on.

Yeah.

Like, bro, he was that.

He looked like nWo Sting, like nWo Sting back.

[laughs]

Not cool.

Number four, nWo Sting versus Mr. JL, October 21st, 1996.

At Fall Brawl 1996, Sting shocked the world when he betrayed WCW and joined up with the evil nWo.

Or did he? This turncoat was, in fact, Jeff Farmer, the former Cobra who had painted his face to look exactly like the Icon's.

Rather than disappear after the pay-per-view though, nWo Sting stuck around and even got himself a main event match on the October 21st Nitro.

His opponent was Mr. JL, better known as Jerry Lynn, meaning that match featured a fake WCW Champion and a future ECW Champion.

What a world we live in.

Now, the contents of this match aren't really important, but how it ended sure is, folks.

But it's the fake Sting.

And now the nWo is just calling him nWo Sting.

And this is kind of fun, especially after what happened last week, because as you'll recall, the real Sting, he withdraws from WCW because nobody believes him.

So even though he's not here on the program, well, the nWo's just gonna keep using his identity.

It would've been really easy, Eric, for you to use this nWo Sting as kind of a one-off, just through WarGames, and then that character disappears.

Why was it important to have Jeff Farmer continue to portray nWo Sting after the reveal was finished? Usually, when there's a fake like this, hey, they, they get rid of that character, and then we move on.

He's actually gonna be a part of the presentation moving forward.

Why was that decision made?

Both of his sons were dressed like him.

NWO Sting and the surfer Sting.

Yeah, I remember that.

I'm

so f- yeah, Flair comes out, lo- [laughs] low blows people, gets a bunch of, uh, of positive crowd reaction, and then it's time for the fourth nWo member to come out, and it looks like it's Sting.

[laughs] Jeff Farmer.

[laughs]

Jeff Farmer, yeah.

He's got the, he's got the, uh, the face paint, he's got the haircut, he's got the black tights, and he's got the physique too.

He does from far away look like Sting.

And yes, there's a fun undercard.

But what everybody's really talking about is, did Sting betray WCW? Now, as a reminder, Sting, that jumped out of the limousine a week prior, was actually Jeff Farmer.

The actual card itself we'll run through briefly.

DDP is working with Chavo Guerrero Jr. DDP catches the Diamond Cutter, and he's really starting to heat up here.

And I like that we're not allowing both teams to be out there.

Why do I think that's important to point out? Because if we had seen fake Sting come out right away, we would've all had another op- opportunity to lay eyes on him and say, "Hey, that's not really him." So the third guy, of course, is Hollywood Hogan.

And the fourth guy is gonna wind up being Jeff Farmer.

So now we've got nWO Sting, and they have a four-on-three advantage.

happen

i'm thinking like true spirit of wcw fall brawl is what i'm thinking here and there's a part of me that's like you have a chance to make something really interesting happen and i think i'm gonna try it and just see what might be left over but i got a great wraparound pick so first i'm going with the warrior oh okay and then i'm gonna go with nwo sting

yeah Fill the ring with the smoke.

All right.

Just leave him in the lurch on that one.

And then my main event, which I only put, like, I didn't want to put, like, street fight, but, like, grudge match so there's relaxed rules, you know, so they can have a little fun with it.

But it's Sting and Warrior versus the NWO Sting and Renegade in the main event of

Fall

I like Undertaker, bro.

NWO Sting.

See, and, and, and-

That's the nigga eat worms?

That wasn't Sting.

Oh, Sting is the motherfucker, Black and White light.

NWO Sting.

Sting used to come out the guy with the skull and the bat.
