“That Doesn’t Work for Me, Brother” - Sting, Hogan & A Count That Killed the Moment
On this episode of Grappling with Wrestling, host Derrick Michaud is joined by wrestling minds Jimmy Fulp and Jacob Turner to revisit one of the most infamous botched endings in wrestling history—Sting vs. Hogan at Starrcade 1997. They break down the year-and-a-half-long build-up, the confusing fast count that wasn’t, Bret Hart’s sudden appearance, and how the entire finish felt like a swing and a miss thanks to Hogan's creative control.
