#4 Sting vs. Cactus Jack (Mick Foley)--Beach Blast 1992

Sting was enjoying his reign as WCW World Champion when he ran into a roadblock named Cactus Jack Manson.

Cactus Jack Manson is, of course, better known as Mick Foley, the hardcore wrestler who is known for using three disparate gimmicks during his career. At this stage, there is none of the humor Mick Foley later became known for. This Mick Foley is a sadistic extremist who wants to hurt people and is darn good at it.

It should be noted that during this era WCW Executive Jim Herd removed all protective pads at ringside. So when Cactus Jack and Sting fight on the outside, they are taking vicious bumps right on the concrete. Ouch!

Why this is a must-see match: Cactus Jack was not hindered by an entire career of nasty injuries, and Sting plays the do-gooder superhero to the hilt. Not a technical wrestling masterpiece, but one heck of a brawl that goes all over the arena.
