Mr Main Event Top 10 Matches: Number 7

Sting vs Hulk Hogan: Starrcade 1997

Everyone who knows Mr Main Event knows I is a true hulkamanaic. When Hogan joined the colors I also traded my red and yellow in for  black and white. While I was a huge WWE fan growing up I was also a WCW fan and my favorite was Sting. When Hogan arrived I was happy to see these guys working not only in the same company but on the same team at times. 

As time went on and the boos start to pour towards Hogan he went to the enemy the cancer of WCW, the Outsiders (Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) and they formed the NWO. Once Hogan won the title things started to seem stale. No one in WCW was a match for him. They needed an answer. Who better to call than the man they call Sting? 

I loved this match. Watching two of my favorites go back and forth was awesome and I will admit I was rooting for Sting. Why, I like title changes...when they make sense. Just when it seemed Hogan would leave Starrcade still World Champion, but after what was originally planned to be a fast count but was botched, another one of my favorites, Bret Hart came out to save the day. After he called for a restart Sting would get the best of hogan and set him up for the Scorpion Deathlock. Hogan tapped and WCW was saved heading into 1998. Ironically that would be the last great year they had. Seeing all the stars come out to celebrate really showed the emotion and passion of these superstars who saw their company saved by a man who had been the face of it so long only to have it snatched away from him when Hulk Hogan arrived.

AJ Holds All the Cards


The saying goes, hell has no fury like a woman's scorn. As we head into this years WWE Championship at Money in the Bank, all eyes will be on special guest referee AJ. She was put in this position after fans voted for her. This went against the request of her ex-boyfriend Daniel Bryan. Bryan asked Special guest general manager Vickie Guerrero to ban her from ring side, claiming that she was a distraction. He continued by reminding her that it was AJ who caused him to lose his World Heavyweight Championship in 18 seconds. 

CM Punk on the other hand made it clear to AJ on Monday Night Raw that she is not a priority of his. When she asked him if he saw her match, Punk told her he was on the phone with his sister and did not have time. She was devastated 
In a tag match that featured Punk and Bryan AJ went to the ring, pulled out a table and attempted to through herself through it from the top rope. Bryan stood in front the table and told her it was not worth it, while Punk went to the top rope and attempted to help her down. AJ lured Punk in locked lips with him and then pushed him into Bryan and both men went crashing through the table. She Stood their laughing as if she had just pulled one over on both men

On The Great American Bash edition of Smackdown, AJ met in the ring with Michael Cole, who was attempting to get into her head. After Cole insulted both Bryan and Punk, he decided that he would make a pass at AJ. Both men would enter the ring and order Cole out. Bryan told AJ he cared about her, while Punk insisted that she needs help. After listening to both men, AJ would lock lips with Bryan which appeared to be a very passionate kiss. As Punk was leaving the ring, AJ followed him and proceeded to do the same thing. After she was done, she proceeded to skip her way back to the locker room leaving both men puzzled. 
 
Will AJ call the WWE Championship Match down the middle, or perhaps will she decide side with the man who she thinks deserves her heart
