Craig H Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I hope two lessons were learned here with WWE not doing Taker/Sting while they could have: - Wait too long to do a money match and it might not happen. See Austin/Goldberg, Austin/Hogan, Tsuruta/Fujinami, Misawa/Mutoh, Kobashi/Mutoh and now Sting/Taker. - Politics/Grudges come and go, money can last forever. That's fair, but I would argue that money can't last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Just watched that Cena/Sting Tag Match. Is the TNA/WWE scorpion deathlock the worst submission move ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I told you it felt wonky Do remember, this is the same WWE that claim that they also own the lineage to the NWA World title because they had a big gold belt. Title history and lineage wibble wobble like timey wimey does for a Time Lord. Jesus, did I just type that? Yes, you did. And anyway the NWA aren't exactly blameless in the revisionist history department. Abraham Lincoln, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be worse than The Rock's version of the sharpshooter. That might be the worst submission I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 No no no. That would be Sgt. Slaughter's Noogie of Death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 So now that sting is retiring and he spent 10 years in TNA if we were to compile the Best of Sting in TNA, what would everyone put on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Some of Jericho's WOJs in WWE have looked really bad too. And Miz's figure four. On a consistent basis, it has to be Rock's sharpshooter, though. Don't know who thought it was a good idea for him to keep doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'll say it's Cena's STF. In maybe one match it looked painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehabilitated Rick Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'll say it's Cena's STF. In maybe one match it looked painful. Yeah the receipt in the Raw match with Seth destroying his nose, which begs the question, is Cena that careful of a worker to not apply the hold correctly in fear of popping off someones head? I don't get it, hell even Austin has pleaded with him to tighten that shit up and he didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Austin will be on his death bed many years from now still wanting Cena to snug up the STF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Some of Jericho's WOJs in WWE have looked really bad too. And Miz's figure four. Miz did a good one this week on Smackdown against Dolph. I wonder if his was supposed to suck because he's Miz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Re: Sting Imagine if he had come back in say, 2007, and he was the one to retire Ric Flair. That would've been fucking perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm not gonna bore everyone with it again but there's a thread on here where I went crazy with ideas for Sting between 2003 and today. It almost hurts to think about. As for his TNA matches, I'd have to really think about it, but I really liked the one where he beat Jarrett for the title. Bound For Glory 05 or 06 I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most common answer I've seen about Cena's STF is that they're concerned about children using it while playing, so the looser it looks the less likely they would be to cinch it in and hurt each other.

Tromatagon Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Oh man I could only imagine how horrified people that worry about that would be if they saw me and my friends as kids Dustin Rhodes bulldog headlocks everywhere son Nobody gave a shit. We were so lucky the Total Elimination and shit like that wasn't around yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobholly138 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Unbelievably classy. I couldn't watch it though, sick kids really mess me up bad. Same thing here. I worked in a morgue for years,but my only two rules were I didn't work on anyone I knew or anyone under the age of 10. Just got to me too much if I had to do either. Oddly seems like I am one of the few that grew up in the 80s who doesn't give a shit about Sting. Last time I liked him he was tagging with Steiner in Mid South/UWF.

Tromatagon Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Sting was the local guy who became a wrestler around these parts. That was pretty fucking huge as a kid for me and my friends. I'm wearing a surfer Sting shirt in my 5th grade class picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Sting in the WWE earlier in the 2000's will be the greatest of what if's. Yep, what if he had jumped 10 years earlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromatagon Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Kids need to toughen up. We sharpshootered the shit out of each other constantly and goddamn that's probably why my fucking back hurts right now 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I very seriously doubt there is a single person here who didn't "try this at home." Some of us just took it a little further than others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
