WILL FLAI

STMN

The NWA belt hangs in the balance!

E ven though he was
nearly permanently in-
jured at the hands of the
Four Horsemen, Sting con-
tinues to be a king-sized thorn
in the side of Ric Flair and
company as he launches his
comeback attempt. His target:
the NW A World Heavyweight
Championship. Despite sus-
taining a ripped patella ten-
don, a career . ending injury
for most athletes, the Stinger
embarked on a rigorous reha-
bilitation program to get back
into the ring. Fully recovered,
he's now ready to take on the
Horsemen and avenge his
suffering.
When the injury took place
in Corpus Christi, it was evi-
dent that the Horsemen feared
Sting's wrath. After expelling
him from the group, they
tried to get him eliminated
from the sport permanently,
rather than meet him some-
where down the road. After
Ole formally kicked him out
oJ the group on national tele-
vision, Sting was attacked in
the parking lot by the
Horsemen. Instead of putting
Sting on the shelf forever, the
Horsemen merely awakened a

This is Ric Flair's worst
nightmare. Sting has not only
returned from his knee injury at
the hands of the Four
Horsemen, but he seems
stronger and tougher than ever!
In a recent match in
Philadelphia, Sting came very
close to taking Flair's champi-
onship belt. Here, the Stinger
has the Nature Boy trapped in
the corner, and he's ready to
dish out the punishment!
