Mr. GMI'm up to the "nWo Sting" moment on Monday Nitro. I feel like without context this would be huge, but even as someone that didn't watch much WCW back in the day I know this is a fake-out. The real Sting hangs out in the rafters for awhile and it leads to the debut of Crow Sting. Even as a WWF kid, I always thought Crow Sting was cool. I look forward to (eventually?) seeing his work in context!

More of WCW's brilliance with early nWo:
They had these bumps they'd play where they'd show spliced together clips of someone who just left for WWF that end with "WCW: Where the Big Boys Play." It was kind eye-rollingly obvious what they were going for.
On the WCW Saturday Night just before the first Hog Wild PPV in Sturgis, they did another one of these, but this time it was Nash and Hall in clips from their then-short time in WCW. This sold that they were outsiders.
