>Referee Nick Patrick on the finish
"I had one guy tell me to give it a fast count, and I had another guy telling me to give a nice, slow count."
"Each guy is like a top guy, the franchise guy, Hogan and Sting both were franchise guys. Now we've got two guys butting heads and I'm stuck in the middle. I just kinda split the difference and my count was different than normal."
"I did a WWE count, it was a little bit faster but not ridiculously fast. So really nobody got what they wanted out of the deal. I thought I'm gonna get fired, but Eric was just so glad that it was over that he didn't fire me."
>After Starcade 1997 and the 'controversial' ending to the Sting vs. Hogan match, the title is vacated on the debut of WCW Thunder. This is also the first time Sting spoke on television in over a year.
