Crossbody of Work Episode 119: Sting Part One – Surf’s Up

Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.

It is time for us to dive into the career of Sting! We’re talking about The Icon before he was The Icon. This week gives us Blade Runners action, as well as early Sting WCW bouts against Lex Luger, Ric Flair, The Great Muta, and Cactus Jack. It is a colorful start to our three-part series on Sting. On top of all these matches, Evan & Javier also talk about: 

• Bodybuilder clothes
• Naming our fists
• The NBA Draft
• Leave it to Beaver

And a lot more.
