Sting vs. Cactus Jack (Falls Count Anywhere - Beach Blast - 6/20/92)
How in Gods name is this not nominated? I even nominated their TV match already and didn’t bother searching for this because I figured it was already nominated. I’ll just assume everyone hates Foley now? Foley’s first big time PPV and he delivers. This is a strong contender for Sting’s best non-Vader Big 3 Trilogy match. I LOVE the opening segment on the old WCW ramp. Foley is just insane. So much of his offense hurts him more than his opponent. His apron elbow to the floor with no mats. His goddamn apron sunset flip is insane. Even his swinging neckbreaker its like he makes a point to splat his head on the concrete. He’s is just a lunatic. The crowd is OUTSTANDING. I know Sting was one of the worst drawing aces of a major company ever, but this crowd is going insane for Foley’s bump over the railing and Sting’s suplex in the crowd. I know there’s probably some production values, but you can see the audience jumping up and down. Foleys’ always been a limited offensive wrestler but his little stuff looks good here. His falling headbutt & running knee in particular were solid. The Cactus clothesline & Sting’s bump from it are fantastic. Sting’s huge dive at the end on the ramp was a crazy awesome spot and still looks awesome almost 30 years later. Really a great fucking match.
