Valentine, 69, is best known for his multiple stints in WWE between 1978 and 1994. He also had two spells with WCW (1992 and 1996-1998). His first run abruptly ended after Sting was booked to defeat him on the October 19, 1992 taping of WCW Saturday Night.
Speaking to Title Match Network, Valentine said he only wanted to lose if he could attack Sting after the match or the following week.
Valentine’s refusal to lose ultimately led to his departure from WCW. He also said in the interview that he never received the $5,000 paycheck he was owed for the booking.
Greg Valentine is not a fan of Sting
Sting, 62, has worked for companies including WCW, WWE, IMPACT Wrestling, and AEW during his 36-year wrestling career.
Despite Sting’s experience and respect among many of his peers, Greg Valentine admitted he has never been a fan of the WCW icon.
Five years after retiring, Sting recently returned to in-ring action with AEW. He joined forces with Darby Allin to defeat Brian Cage and Ricky Starks in a cinematic Street Fight at AEW Revolution in March.
