The WWE released The Best of Sting DVD on Tuesday in what is the first major DVD and Blu-ray release for the former WCW and TNA icon within the WWE realm, and there is a significant error in the packaging of the video.
WWE SmackDown Spoilers For Friday
Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that the WWE accidentally included a photo of the Impostor nWo Sting that was played by James Farmer on the back of the DVD while showing pictures of Sting's WWE career.
A Twitter user named @WCWWorldWide pointed out the error on the back of the DVD:

WCW pulled a swerve on its fans in Sept. 1996 by having Farmer, who was wrestling under the ring name Cobra, dress up as Sting and attack Lex Luger -- making many people believe that Steve "Sting" Borden turned heel.
It later was revealed that it was a "fake Sting" who turned on Luger and that the impostor was played by Farmer.
Farmer eventually moved on to New Japan Pro Wrestling in 1997 and was a part of nWo Japan. The photo of Farmer that appears on the back of Sting's DVD comes from his appearance in NJPW.
Regarding the real Sting, there are rumors that he will have a match at WrestleMania 31 on March 29, 2015, and Sting himself has said that he wants to wrestle, but it remains to be seen if that will come to fruition.
Sting has wanted to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania and even said that The Streak being wiped out by Brock Lesnar in April doesn't hamper his desire to still meet him one-on-one in Santa Clara, Calif.
The Undertaker's career could be over after he lost The Streak and was injured in the match with Lesnar, but that is also up in the air.
Sting has also said he would like to face Triple H, so there is a possibility of that match happening next spring as well.
Sting has yet to wrestle in a WWE ring and he has hinted that if he does compete somewhere down the line, it will likely be his final match.
