The Buzz

I guess PWInsider(I could have the wrong news site, as I grabbed this from the official Sting forums.) is saying there may be a deal worked out where Sting will remain in the company, but with even less appearances with his appearances as more of "big deal". So I guess he's going for four-five match a year type of deal. Could be bullshit but like I said they said there are "rumblings" that this may be the case.

I might try to pick up the Cena, HBK, and World Class dvd in the ROH buy 3, get one sale. Throw in Bound For Glory 07 for my freebie. WWE's best area is their dvd releases. While I wish every start could get a box set of 5 discs, they do well with what they give.

Just wanted to let the people know that gave me a little bit of help, TNA did actually finally respond to me after my tenth email about my missing dvd. They sent out my dvd with a free copy of TNA Year One.

If the deal is still good in two weeks I'd probably be able to pick those up. Just throwing that out there looks like a great price.

That is a perfect way to put it, and I think it accomplished what they wanted as I fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

Oh yeah I finally saw that for the first time a few months ago, didn't even realize Carpenter made it. Pretty fun movie.

Well that sounds like a pretty cool experience man. I'd love to be able to workout with a guy like Shamrock in person. I usually am stuck picking the brains of old powerlifters and bodybuilders on Dr Squat and Testosterone Nation. Since I'm starting my wrestling training it'd help to hear how a guy who did it trained for the sport.

Was he a nice guy or just all business?

I loved his take on the novel Vampires more than the book itself. Hell even the sequel that he didn't make was better than the horrible third movie. I liked the first two Halloween movies, and the Escape movies. I liked the movie where he played a crypt keeper style character telling scary stories, can't remember the title. Good creative mind imo.

That's pretty cool, I'd be afraid to lock it up with Shamrock even in his current form.

I could be wrong on the street date of 12/11 on the WCCW dvd, but my FYE in Michigan had several copies today for 29.99.

I've added a copy of WWE Unforgiven 2005 Unopened to the deal without raising the price. I'll probably give ebay a try if no one is interested soon.

All that I have to say about those last two episodes after finding them via google is wow. I was going to post the links, but I've already been beat to it. Good stuff, I'll definitely be tuning in to see each of them a second time.

same here, I'd rather watch them now, and then rewatch them when they come out.

Well just saw this movie, and I thought it was pretty good. They had that sense of urgency going throughout the movie at the right times, and I thought some of the characters were well done. The ending was a little dreadful, but I understood why he did it. It was almost heroic, but then when the ending rolls around you get that knot in your stomach where you just got punched. The movie was good and the ending was good. It was just reallymorbid.

To be honest the only movie of his that I think was a let down is Walking Tall.

Booking Sting-Lance Storm Commentary November 28, 2007 I got a lot of really good feedback from my “Booking Flair” commentary so I thought I would throw out another idea I had recently and wanted to get it out there before someone else thought of it. From what I understand Sting’s TNA contract has expired. I’ve heard TNA wants to resign Sting but that Sting is considering full retirement. Assuming these statements are true and I was in charge of WWE, I would make a huge play for Sting, but not in the way you are likely thinking. As great as it would be to finally bring Sting to WWE, there is no way at his age he would be interested in working a full time WWE schedule, and to be honest at his age, putting the time and effort into introducing him and pushing him, is likely not a smart move either. That being said I would still offer Sting a contract and attempt to steal him away from TNA. I doubt you wouldn’t have to make it a huge money deal either because his TNA deal is approx. $500,000 and he has to wrestle and work 60 dates a year. You could offer him a legends contract where he doesn’t have to wrestle at all, and the only traveling he would have to do is to the studio a couple times a year to contribute interviews for 24/7 and DVD releases. In addition to the legends contract there is the potential merchandise royalties he could earn on Classic series Action Figures, not to mention a Sting career DVD retrospective (WWE owns all of his WCW footage). The icing on the cake for this deal would be a Hall of Fame induction for him this year. All the rumors out there are that it’s Flairs year for the HOF, and they want to make it a bit of a Ric Flair themed ceremony. What a better way of doing this than also inducting, Arn Anderson, Ricky Steamboat, and Sting. Arn has been Flair’s right hand man for decades, and Steamboat and Sting are two of Ric Flair’s greatest feuds. Sting is the biggest standout (if not the only guy) who was a big star during the WWF vs. WCW days that has never stepped foot in the WWF or WWE. This would be a way to make it happen. Sting’s inclusion in the HOF would be awesome, and doing it the year his greatest opponent was inducted as well would be prefect. This would also give Sting a brief WrestleMania appearance, as they always acknowledge the HOF class live at Mania. I think as an added kicker too, guys from Flair’s past should be used to help build the significances of Flair’s potential last run and last match, and the more “legends” from Flair’s past that can do cameos along the way, or sit ringside for Flair’s Mania match would make for a even more monumental moment in wrestling history. I know for a fact Sting credits Ric Flair with making his career, so having Sting show up on RAW before Mania to show his support for Flair and thank him for everything he’s done for him in the past would be tremendous. With a HOF and Mania appearance, a legends contract, and potential merchandise royalties, Sting could earn a decent payday and not have to wrestle anymore, like he would in TNA. I also think inclusion in the HOF and minor involvement in Ric Flair’s retirement, would mean the world to him. When the guy is looking at retirement anyway, how could he pass up a Hall of Fame induction, a chance to appear at WrestleMania in front of the largest crowd in North American history, and a chance to say thank you one last time to the guy who put you on the map and made it all possible? This feels so right to me, I get goose bumps just thinking about it. Here’s hoping!!! Lance Storm

It's called we literally probably let the guys pick random cases rather than having a plan.

I too hate the six sided ring, it still seems to confuse wrestlers after all this time.

They'll probably just have him wrestle random big matches until Mania, maybe once or twice a month. So that the angle can get over without being overexposed.

Maybe Konann, Sting, and Senshi are the smart talent for leaving TNA. Hell, maybe Hall didn't want to waste his comeback on TNA. I don't blame the man.

That's the first thing that came to my mind lol.

Not unhappy enough to give up a national tv deal anyway.

That's what I was hoping for with Lila, and I guess it's a possibility judging by the previews where she finds the cabin if she gets her finger prints on enough things. I read in an interview where Michael C. Hall says we saw Dexter as the calm and collected Dexter in season one, the wild Dexter this season, and by the end of Season 2 he's changed into something new again. I mean I really think Doakes and Dexter both stick around, but I'm leaning toward Dexter getting caught and going on the run with maybe Doakes tracking him down.

I'm not usually a guy who harps on TNA or WWE a whole lot. But damn it just seems like everything has fallen apart since Bound For Glory. They really need someone to step up as a leader backstage or on creative, and give them a definitive direction to work for. Hell even Bill Watts coming in would be an improvement as atleast he'd pick something and run with it.
