Guest EternallyLazy Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 from Meltzer "Sting said he has not closed the door on working for the WWE. He has talked to Vince McMahon over the last year and would entertain the idea. He said Wrestlemania last year was almost a done deal but it wasn't done in time. He wants to come in with a great storyline and give the fans true bang for their buck. Sting did say he will not go on the road full time. He would do TV once or twice a week and certainly a pay per view once a month."
Guest Choken One Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Fuck him, We already got one aged past his prime god boy...we don't need another.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 If he won't do an almost full schedule than forget him. The WWE doesn't need someone whose allowed to only work 9 days a month.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Remember when Vince used to rip on WCW because all they did was employ old people? Yep.
Guest redneckBEBE Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 This would rock. I always wanted to see the Stinger in WWE.
Guest Trivia247 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 So The New Born Christian wants the life of Booze drugs sex and Violence again...guess Facing Painting a Crucifix isn't as rewarding when your sitting at home. If you look back, Sting was just one of those Character wrestlers, he didn't have a impressive moveset anyway, but knew how to tap into the audience with character developement. Sting and HBK the Holy Avengers! I Smelllll Ratings espically if Sting goes against the Dark Lord in the form of...Sean O Haire!
Guest Choken One Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 This would rock. I always wanted to see the Stinger in WWE. Why even care? Sting wasn't a draw, U can't say that it was Sting alone that drew the fans in 1997, because NWO did play a crucial role in that angle...Sting was ALWAYS at the top but he never fully got it done...I don't think the fans would care about another WCW hasbeen flooding the scene.
Guest JMA Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 I'd like to see Sting as a booker, but he is too past his prime to wrestle. I'm sure Sting doesn't want to be seen as the "old guy." It's bad enough Hogan and Flair ocassionally get in the ring.
Guest EternallyLazy Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 As much as I would mark out, I still think it's a mistake... in the long run it's not going to help anything. I think he should go to NWA TNA... it would benefit them, but in the end, it wouldn't benefit WWE
Guest converge241 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 im telling you Sting - Taker, while not a great in ring clinic, would be great using all the visual aspects /mythology of the characters i assume some people will be along any second with the "will never happen" replies as they always do
Guest notJames Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 "Take it outside, God-Boy." - Superintendent Chalmers to Ned Flanders "Take it outside, Washed-Up Has-Been Born-Again Part -Timer." - Me to Sting
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Keep him out of my TNA! We have old people problems of our own!
EL DANDY~! Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 redneck, your "Lex is justice! Lex is Rule!" quote just pissed me and a bunch of other people off...but in all reality, Sting coming back wouldn't be too bad...it wouldn't be great, but it wouldn't be horrible...
Guest EternallyLazy Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 I'd like to see Sting as a booker, but he is too past his prime to wrestle. I'm sure Sting doesn't want to be seen as the "old guy." It's bad enough Hogan and Flair ocassionally get in the ring. Say what you will about Hogan, but Flair still has "it" when he's motivated... see Austin/Flair from Austin's last RAW appearance for example
Guest Choken One Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Who would he honestly fued with? Huh? Flair again? I really can't see him working in today's environment...Steiner works somewhat well because they still employed roided monsters...Flair stands above all others...Page still cared...I just don't see Sting working out for WWE.
Guest redneckBEBE Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Why even care? Sting wasn't a draw, U can't say that it was Sting alone that drew the fans in 1997, because NWO did play a crucial role in that angle...Sting was ALWAYS at the top but he never fully got it done...I don't think the fans would care about another WCW hasbeen flooding the scene. Because I find him entertaining and I like to watch him wrestle?
Guest EternallyLazy Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Yeah and last year I couldn't have EVER imagined seeing Bischoff working for Vince McMahon, but it happened didn't it? I'm not saying I'm in favor of it... but I've learned to never say never.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 I think Flair's the greatest wrestler ever...but I don't enjoy watching him now. That's why I have tapes.
Guest Trivia247 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Older wrestlers aren't terrible if you set them properly in their spots, thats how HBK still comes off Somewhat Decent, and he is the best of the Older generation in the WWE. Hogan and Flair are slower, Nash hell he is Quad prone, and Steiner can only belly to belly, Sting coming in, if he does would have to be timed well in his spots and put against people of his speed.
Guest EternallyLazy Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 I think Flair's the greatest wrestler ever...but I don't enjoy watching him now. That's why I have tapes. Of course he's not as good as he once was, but I was quite impressed with his work last year... not ALL of his work, but he stood out on several different occassions. I'll take Flair's current ringwork over Test's any day of the week and twice on Sunday
Guest oldschoolwrestling Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 This week, the legendary Sting joined the No Holds Barred radio show and here are the highlights. Sting put over the WWA and the upcoming pay per view where he will work with Lex Luger. He said its great to be back in the ring with the WWA after being out 18 months. He felt better and better as the tour went on. Sting joked as he remembered a conversation with himself, the Ultimate Warrior and Jerry Jarrett. Back in Memphis, Jarrett told the both of them to find another line of work when they were starting out. Sting remembered how bad they were but they obviously improved and went on to have great careers. Sting talked about the last Nitro where he worked against Ric Flair. He said that was the way to go out. He said Flair always helped him through his career. He said although Flair and him only had 8 minutes to wrestle that night, it was still Sting verses Flair. He remembered the classic match they had at the Clash of Champions where they went for 45 minutes. Sting said the most fun time in his great career was the Sting verses the NWO angle. He loved the look with the white paint and the ball bat. He said the creative juices in WCW were at an all time high during that period. Sting gave Scott Hall the credit for the idea for the new look. He said the look reminded him of a combination of Kiss, Marilyn Manson and the Rocky Horror Picture show. Sting said he has not closed the door on working for the WWE. He has talked to Vince McMahon over the last year and would entertain the idea. He said Wrestlemania last year was almost a done deal but it wasn't done in time. He wants to come in with a great storyline and give the fans true bang for their buck. Sting did say he will not go on the road full time. He would do TV once or twice a week and certainly a pay per view once a month. Sting feels his greatest accomplishment in his great career was turning WCW into a huge success. He remembered WCW being second class citizens and to see them turn into what they became was a huge thrill for him. He talked about Lex Luger being frustrated overseas with the WWA tour. Lex was sick with bronchitus and was battling a hip injury. He only had 3 weeks to get ready for the tour and Lex was 300 pounds when the tour started. With the injuries, Lex still worked and finished the tour. Sting doesn't rule out Hollywood but would like one last hurrah to say goodbye to the fans. He said many fans come up to him and tell him they want him to come back. He said he would love to be involved in 1 last meaty storyline and then he would put over who they wanted him to put over. Sting's favorite superstars to watch are Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy. He loves how they both work and could watch them all day. Log on to http://www.noholdsbarredwrestling.com to hear the entire interview. The No Holds Barred radio show airs Sunday nights from 9 to 11 PM on 101.5 WPDH.
Guest redneckBEBE Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 He said the look reminded him of a combination of Kiss, Marilyn Manson and the Rocky Horror Picture show. I guess he's never seen The Crow...
Guest Choken One Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Yeah, I really was worried that They get a Gimmick Infringment lawsuit during the angle...
Guest converge241 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 yeah no kidding until he incorporated the marilyn manson extra lines to the paint it was exactly the crow , especially the first few times he even had a damn bird with him on a nitro!! it wasnt a crow but i mean come on..that little kids voice too just like sarah in the crow
Guest Trivia247 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 even when he was recovering from the Bret Hart match he had at Havok in 98 the announcers wondered how will Sting return? The Sting of the 80"s the Wolfpac Sting, or the CROW Sting... oye. it is obviosuly gimmick infrigement that Time Warner especially didn't want the headache of. the character orignally was probably gonna be based like the Crow, with a Risen from the Dead stuff, but the warning bells went off and they had to change it around.. They just wanted to make a Undertaker character LOLLLL
Guest oldschoolwrestling Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 He said he would love to be involved in 1 last meaty storyline and then he would put over who they wanted him to put over. At least he's willing to put someone over. I don't think you'd hear Goldberg saying anything like this.
Guest Choken One Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Didn't they even have a segment where the lights flickered on and off and the bird flew to the ring (it was a Vulture) and Bischoff went after it and it flew away as some young girl's voice over gave a speech and they showed Sting with his head down and NWO terrified?
Guest converge241 Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 yes they did but the bird screwed up somehow if I remember correctly (apparently hes been banished to hosting Velocity Saturdays at The World since his screw up)
Guest EternallyLazy Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 Whats this about Wrestlemania last year almost being a "done deal"? I don't remember hearing anything about Sting coming in... who did they want him to face? Anyone know??
