Sting: Moment of Truth Part II

jon MichaelThe big moment is here.  I climb into the ring and here comes the man they call STING.  A million things are running through my mind right now.  First and foremost, this is STING talking to me right now!  I don’t care who you are, you’d have to admit that Sting is a legend in the wrestling business and it’s an honor to be speaking with him.

Sting and the director of the movie discuss a few scenes with us, but there’s one specific spot they want to see.  They have the camera framed up to catch it just the way they want to see it.  Sting explains that he remembers one of his first episodes with watching wrestling featured a guy slamming his opponent’s head into the turnbuckle.  After he slams his head, he clawed the opponent’s face… then, delivered a devastating forearm shot right across the face!  Sting remembered that spot after all these years and wanted to put it in the movie.  So, here we are.  We’re going to make that happen for him.

We shot the scene.  It was a little stiff, I have to admit.  But luckily, I was the one slamming, forearming and clawing at Ken’s face.  So, he got the worst of it.  They had us go through this a few times until we had it spot on.  Pretty easy day, huh?  I actually get PAID to do THAT?  How awesome?

After everything’s done, Sting requests that we have a match.  Ten minutes or so.  Back and forth match – and he requested that we put that same spot within the match somewhere.  So, I went from doing a very small part – to wrestling a full-on wrestling match!  I was thrilled!  This was going to be BIG for my career!  Not to mention, I’ll be in the ring… and STING will get to see me work!
