CHRISTOPHER DANIELS VS. STING

Mike Tenay and Don West are on commentary. He explains that Christopher Daniels went to Sting for guidance but took the guidance the wrong way. That seems like half an explanation. Sting propels down from the ceiling into the ring and Mike Tenay treats it like he got an amazing entrance with a full stage.

This was a basic match with no real flow. I don't remember thinking too much of the story at the time which is now compounded with not remembering too much anyway. However, I'm glad I forgot about it. Terrible *½ match. 0/5 Personal Rating
