10 Great Sting matches every wrestling fan should see

#9 Sting and Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk and the Great Muta--Halloween Havoc

Sting prepares to fly off the top turnbuckle at the first Halloween Havoc in 1989.

During the late 1980s, the level of interest in pro wrestling hit a fever pitch. The rivalry between WWE and the NWA was also at its hottest level ever.

In order to compete, the NWA devised the Halloween Havoc pay per view and created a new steel cage match type; The Thunderdome. The main premise was that the cage would have a roof, and certain sections would be electrified.

Former rivals turned allies Sting and Nature Boy Ric Flair teamed up to face the international duo of Terry Funk and the Great Muta at the first-ever Halloween Havoc. This was over a decade before Hell in a Cell, and fans hadn't seen this type of cage match before so it was a real treat.

Why this is a must-see match: Ric Flair, Sting, Great Muta, and Terry Funk. 'Nuff said, but then you factor in the steel cage and the x-factor of Ole Anderson, and you have a pure classic.
