#2 Sting vs. Big Van Vader: Superbrawl III

After Ted Turner bought Jim Crockett Productions and changed it to WCW, one of his priorities was hiring international wrestling talent.

Among the stars that Turner managed to snag for a WCW contract was the legendary Big Van Vader. At this stage of his career, Vader weighed in at well over four hundred and fifty pounds. Despite this, he was capable of pulling moves like the moonsault, and Sting didn't enjoy much of a speed advantage over the Mastadon.

In order to spice up this match, WCW made it a "White Castle Strap Match," but really, it's just a normal strap match. If you're into technical wrestling clinics, this match isn't for you. However, if you enjoy brutal slugfests and plenty of vicious attacks with the leather strap, then this match is going to be one of your favorites of all time.

Why this is a must-see match: Here you have two legendary wrestlers in the prime of their careers doing their best to put on a memorable pay per view main event. It's good vs. evil in all its glory.
