He's the legend. He's the icon. He...is...Sting! As we say "goodbye" to Sting after his final match EVER took place at AEW Revolution, we are taking a look back at some fond memories of Sting's career. This week, we're covering Sting vs. Vader in WCW, whether they're one-on-one or in a multi-man match. Then, we cover the most infamous and star-making feud of Sting's entire career: Sting vs. Ric Flair! Most of the time, they were opponents, one-on-one, but sometimes, they were in tag matches or battle royals against each other. Our coverage literally goes from 1989 to 1995! This was incredibly fun to put together. I hope you all enjoy. https://linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

Anderson was a founding member of the Four Horsemen and Virgil is best known for being Ted DiBiase's bodyguard and a member of the NWO in WCW as Vincent. https://linktr.ee/MainEventMarks ARTICLE 1: https://www.f4wonline.com/news/other-wrestling/four-horsemen-member-ole-anderson-passes-away-at-81-years-old ARTICLE 2: https://www.f4wonline.com/news/other-wrestling/former-wwe-wcw-wrestler-virgil-passes-away-at-61

After some truly disgusting allegations have been leveled against Vince McMahon, he has finally resigned in disgrace from WWE and the TKO Group. This isn't a temporary leave this time, either. He's gone for good!

Unfortunately, we're starting off the first show of 2024 with some extremely devastating news. However, we're still bringing you some fun content and we're gonna have a good time memorializing a great man who touched a lot of lives. This is a compilation of the greatest 30-man Royal Rumble matches we covered throughout the years. For the full shows, go back through our archives and give us a listen! Host Troy is joined by co-hosts Greg and Jacob Grondy (from the Curtain Jerkin' Podcast)! #wwe #royalrumble #wrestling https://linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

In his WCW World War 3 1995 promo, the Giant had some of the weirdest lines of all freaking time. What the hell was that big guy even saying!? #wwe #wcw #paulwight linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

As the dust cleared from the steroid trial against Vince McMahon and the WWF, unbiased outsiders could see that there were no good guys in this whole thing. #wwe #vincemcmahon #wrestling linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

On this episode of Curtain Jerkin host Jacob Grondy talks where Jericho was, where CM Punk wasnt, where Kota Ibushi will be and the week that was in WWE, AEW and New Japan pro wrestling! #wwe #aew #wrestling #njpw #vpw #jericho #cmpunk #noah_ghc #wweraw #smackdown #aewcollision #aewrampage #ibushi #okada

With the fallout the WWF steroid trial, the US government was now looking into the man they claim was Vince McMahon's "fixer" for the trial, Marty Bergman. #wwe #vincemcmahon #wrestling linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

In 1995, everyone was pretty much sick and tired of Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania. This caused Hogan to lash out at his critics, including Uncle Dave Meltzer, who seemed to enjoy angering the Hulkster. #hulkhogan #davemeltzer #wwe linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

Sixty Men... Three Rings... Three Giants... One Battle Royal! That was the tagline for the very first ever World War 3 event for WCW in 1995. It was not great, but it was unique and it drew a pretty good sized house in Virginia. Johnny B. Badd (not shockingly) opens the show against DDP for the TV Title and it tests the Diamond Doll's allegiances. The All Japan women are in tag-team action that puts what the WWF did a month earlier to shame. Big Bubba Rogers and Jim Duggan face off in a Taped Fist match (yes, really), Sting takes on Ric Flair in a forgotten match-up, and Lex Luger faces an injured "Macho Man" Randy Savage. In the main event, we've got 3 rings, 3 commentary teams, 60 men, 3 giants, and 1 winner. However, the finish was marred with controversy and you'll see why. Let's just say that it makes the babyface Hulk Hogan look like a giant douche. In the news, we discuss one of Vince McMahon's lawyers being investigated by the FBI, WCW and NJPW's working relationship possibly coming to an end, Sabu's surprise return to ECW, and much more! linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

It's a bit sad that a lot of WWE legends figures are peg warmers. We see this a lot in Walmart, but it's also in Target and other department stores. #scratchthatfigureitch #wwe #aew linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

At the post Survivor Series press conference, Triple H commented on Jade Cargill's status. He says it's "by no fault of her own" that she's not ready to go. So, whose fault is it? #wwe #aew #jadecargill linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

On this episode of Curtain Jerkin host Jacob Grondy talks about CM Punk returning to WWE, the week that was in AEW, ranking every match from Survivor Series from worst to first and more! #wweraw #wwe #survivorseries #aewdynamite #aewcollision #aewrampage #aew #njpw #cmpunk #mjf #randyorton #jellyroll

This is a comprehensive review of the greatest wrestling trilogy of all time. We will hear no other contenders! In 1989, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair took on Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat at 3 separate events: Chi-Town Rumble, Clash of the Champions VI: Ragin' Cajun, and WrestleWar '89: Music City Showdown. All 3 events kind of sucked and drew like crap. However, the one and only match from all 3 events that anyone was talking about (and is still talking about to this day) is Flair vs. Steamboat. Your Main Event Marks watched all 3 events in full and will review the main event matches for you in detail, giving our opinions as well as the opinions from Uncle Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer "News" letter at the time. linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

Yet again, there's not much at Walmart for a Main Event Collector and Figure Hunting Warrior. Before Black Friday, the pickings are slim. That's so Walmart! #scratchthatfigureitch #wwe #blackfriday linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

Just 6 days after Survivor Series 1991, we've got a shortened show titled This Tuesday in Texas. The Undertaker was only 1 year into his WWF run when he defeated the goose that laid the golden eggs, Hulk Hogan, to become WWF Champion on Taker's 1 year anniversary (with the help of Ric Flair). Now, he's the defending champion against The Hulkster. "Macho Man" Randy Savage also looks for revenge on the evil snake man, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, who had been making Savage and Miss Elizabeth's lives a living Hell for months, including crashing their wedding reception and having a cobra bite Macho Man. Bret Hart also takes on Skinner, the British Bulldog does battle with the Warlord, and Repo Man teams with Ted DiBiase against Virgil and El Matador to continue "The Million Dollar Man's" feud with his former "servant." This show took place on December 3, 1991, at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas. The event was an attempt by the WWF to establish Tuesday as a secondary pay-per-view night. Lukewarm reaction and a disappointing 1.0 buyrate rendered the experiment a failure, and the company shelved its plans until October 2004, when it held Taboo Tuesday. linktr.ee/MainEventMarks
