BurningBeard Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 THe most upsetting thing about Sting's run is that he didn't have chance to have a partner turn on him 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 To tie up the last two topics, the battle royal should end with all 3 Wyatts in the ring as "co winners" no decision announced, Bray at ringside cuts one of his promos about eating the world, then Sting comes out and dumps them all with the aid of his bat (no one touches him of course) and has a little moment. I generally try to stay away from fantasy booking but it really bums me out that the poor guy didn't even get one WWE win. Not that losing to the World Champ in a ppv main event is a horrible way to go out, but I just love Sting man. I'm thinking about going to Connecticut to meet him in Saturday at some Indy show He won against Big Show via DQ and beat Rollins & Show (teaming with John Cena) per submission (Scorpion Deathlock on Seth) on RAW. So his record in WWE is 2-2! I honestly had no idea the Big Show match happened, and I forgot all about the tag match.

Craig H Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Unrelated to that, but I was just thinking this morning that I actually miss Cena. I think it was seeing that Sting retired that made me think that. I'm hoping that when he returns he gets new theme music that doesn't suck. I know he won't, but I think that's probably part of what annoys me the most about him when he is there. I think I could even stomach the cornball promos if he cut less of them. And no more goofy shit like the springboard stunner. Aside from the theme music, I think what I would like most is if he wrestled a different style. It didn't occur to me before seeing him next to other people, but he's a goddamn monster. I almost wish he'd wrestle like a monster a bit more. EDIT: Weird timing with the post above. I think there's probably more of us that miss the guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Scott Hall's reaction to the booking of that match is classic. Even with his friend being the guy to go over, Hall still thought it was pretty fucked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 So Xavier Woods tweeted about how Kofi Kingston now holds the cumulative record for a person holding the WWE World Tag Titles (ie: add all the time up that they were tag champ) Then the WWE account retweeted saying "541 days and counting!" I am assuming this is true - at least via their version of history I guess I just thought someone would have longer than 541 days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with his friend being the guy to go over, Hall still thought it was pretty fucked up. And he was absolutely right. One assumes, though, that Kevin Nash was all in favor of it.

The biggest knock against Cena, (and I don't know how much of it his fault) is his opponents rarely come out of a Cena feud in better shape than when they came in. Which is strange because Cena gives plenty to his opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is strange because Cena gives plenty to his opponents. It's not strange at all. When you give your opponent 90% of the offense but still win the match, you don't make your opponent look like he was close. You make it look like his offense is ineffective. You can play the underdog occasionally, but when you're portrayed as the best, you have to work your matches like it. At this stage of his career (and the last 8-10 years in general), guys would get more out of hanging in amidst a serious beating from Cena than a standard heel control formula match where they get 90% of the offense and still lose clean. No one buys that guys like Rusev and Bray Wyatt have a chance against Cena, so why not work like it? I don't know if it's as much a Cena problem as it is a WWE agent/direction problem, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rzombie1988 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.

Ramsey 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm more mad at TNA than Seth Rollins. Sting had a good ten years left in him and he wasted all of that down there. Yeah, I can't fault him for taking the easy money for having to do nothing and he did have a few good matches when he didn't feel phone it in. But man if he came to the WWE even in say 2008 there could have been so many great matches including that Taker match and hell even one with Michaels. Sting in the WWE earlier in the 2000's will be the greatest of what if's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
