Ric Flair: "Sting believed the Black Scorpion angle had ruined his reign. He was right

"We still weren’t drawing, and Herd made a change. Just like every other time WCW needed a designated hitter to go to the plate and drive home a run, they came to me"

JR: "As much as I love Naitch, Sting didn’t need to lose a title as quickly as he did"

Read my detailed article on why Sting was stung by the bad Black Scorpion angle:

Ric Flair beats Sting to become a seven time world champion

It is an underwhelming end to the Stinger's first run with the WCW Title - not losing on PPV or a Clash, but at a house show at the Meadowlands Arena
