Impostor Sting From NWO To Wrestle At Joey Janela's Spring Break
An interesting booking for a promotion that colors outside the lines
If you've seen one Joey Janela's Spring Break...well, you most definitely have not seen them all. The first two WrestleMania-weekend events have slid far past "surreal", combining the bats**t insanity of lawless independent wrestling with imaginative and eclectic talent booking. The Great Sasuke, Dan Severn, Marty Jannetty, Dink the Clown, and Glacier are just some of the names of prior eras that have appeared at the Spring Break events, and another curious name will be popping up on Saturday night, April 6 in Jersey City.
Jeff Farmer, portrayer of the nWo version of Sting, has apparently been booked to wrestle in the "Clusterf**k Battle Royal", per a tweet from Janela.
Farmer has been largely retired from the ring since 2005, save for a pair of matches for Keiji Muto's Pro Wrestling Masters in 2018 and 2019. Now 56 years old, Farmer has since worked as a project manager at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
Farmer first appeared as the nWo Sting in September 1996, as a ruse to trick Lex Luger, as well as other WCW wrestlers, into thinking that the real Sting had double-crossed them by joining the New World Order.
