Well, I think this is the DVD all Sting fans had been waiting for, since the release of "The Best of Sting" a few years back. "The Best of Sting" wasn't a bad collection, but I think the thing most fans felt was missing from that particular collection was hearing from the man himself & Steve Borden reflecting on his career over the decades."Into the Light" has plenty of that, as Disc 1 and the beginning of Disc 2 feature Steve Borden--sans facepaint--going over his years at the old NWA/WCW and his recent return to "Big Time" wrestling, jumping to WWE; a moment I'm sure a lot of people--including myself--thought would never happen. But, how long is "never" in the wrestling business.As for the matches themselves, I guess I could gripe about what wasn't included--and the fact that a lot of Sting's career as "The Crow" from the beginning of 1998 was glossed over, I found to be curious; and as long as this collection was including matches Sting lost, why not go with Sting vs. Savage at the '98 Spring Stampede. But, the stuff WWE did go with was mostly solid--in particular, I really liked the Sting/Bret Hart match and that match itself could lead me to griping about how badly WCW handled Bret Hart.Sting and Bret should have been a feud that was headlining Pay-Per-Views, with the "Big Gold" on the line--but, decades later, I guess there's no crying over the many botches WCW had post Starrcade '97.Overall--if you're a Sting fan--then "Into the Light" is well worth the money....4 1/2 stars
