Sting in WWE

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Would you like to see Sting join the WWE?

 

If so, why? And which roster?

 

If not, why not?

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Nice to make me think he actually might sign with them...again...

 

BAIT AND SWITCH TOPICS SUCK!

 

 

Anyway, I want Sting in WWE damn it.

 

Maybe RAW, because he can fight Flair once, then jump to Smackdown to face Benoit, Angle, Brock etc.

Yes because a lot of people love Sting, he's a great worker, and he would be the closing chapter in big names from WCW that fans would still care about . And SD, because a little star power wouldn't hurt.

I can see that, but... I really want to see a Sting/Evolution feud with Flair promos and such.

[Guest Quik]

No. If he goes to Smackdown, he's just one more reason to not push Benoit. If he goes to Raw, he's just one more guy to job to HHH in order to add to his credibility.

 

Actually, knowing Hunter's Flair fetish, he'd probly try to recreate every Flair/Sting feud, including the Black Scorpion.

RAW has too many big names on it, they should at least send one of them to SD to help them out.

HHH is actually more Harley Race then Flair... what with all the knee moves, bounties on challengers, and heel cohorts. HHH has basically made himself the avatar of every long term NWA heel champ ever.

Can anyone imagine a HHH promo as the Black Scorpion? OY.

[Sonic Reducer 0]

Not me. He wouldn't be used correctly. I can guarantee that.

[razazteca 0]

No, WWE does not need another aging star to lose to HHH.

[EdwardKnoxII 0]

Yes because Sting is good worker, is over, and is THE man in WCW. He is WCW.

 

But, no because you know Vince would book him like shit. Think about you have the man that has never left WCW so you know Vince would book him like shit and have him lose to HHH and talk about how WCW was nothing and how Sting REALLY wanted to join WWF/E. Hell I bet Vince would go over "Mr WCW" himself.

[LucharesuFan619 0]

he's a great worker

This is debatable.

I don't want any more nostalgia crap. STING SUCKS. He sucked in almost everything post-1996, and I do not want to see him in WWE.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Sting can still work a super hot match. That makes him better than 90% of the roster right there.

I figured out one thing here.

 

 

Never argue over someones opinion in wrestlers. I may find HHH entertaining, and no one can change my mind.

 

And Sting was my favorite WCW guy, while some didn't like him. Of course, I watched him from 1990-1996 when he was a above average-great worker. But I agree, that after the 14 month lay-off in the shadows, he lost some of his in ring presence, although he can still go when he has the right opponents.

But he, unlike Michaels or Jericho, cannot pull a great match out of Triple H at any given time.

 

Goldberg and Steiner sure as hell couldn't do it. And Sting's getting up there in age, too. Sure, he may be able to work a hot match as far as fan reactions go, but workrate and match quality is a different story.

I think most of that was injuries, ring rust and just total despair at how badly WCW was being handled.

 

I don't think he'll work for the WWE though. He just doesn't seem to have any interest.

[Bruiser Chong 0]

No, absolutely not. It'd be surreal to see, to say the least, but once the novelty wore off, it'd be just like Steiner, Goldberg, and all the other "can't-miss" signings. Sting's obviously a better worker than those guys, but the man's been through enough political bs during his prime of his wrestling career and I don't think he needs to go through more of it.

 

Aside from that, I think it's pretty obvious that everything he went through in WCW killed his desire for this business and I can't say I blame him. Nevertheless, bringing in a big name like Sting would be cool to see, but after that, you'd just have another guy who was big in the past, isn't what he used to be, and would inevitably just get in the way or serve no real purpose.

 

I think it's been proven by now that there is no big name or one single thing that can be brought into the scene and turn things around. That notion was proven wrong many times over the last two years; it's time to try something new, and quite trying to go for the quick fix, which Sting ultimately is in the end.

[Mystery Eskimo 0]

I would HATE to see Sting in WWE. There's no way anything would be added to his career, only detracted by jobbing to HHH. I don't even like seeing him in TNA. For once, lets just have a wrestler who retires gracefully rather than dragging things on and on.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

No.

 

1) The majority of the fanbase has never seen a Sting match, so why would they care about Sting?

 

2) If he works like he did towards the end of WCW, I want no part of that (get beat on a bit, then no sell everything to run through his trademark moves).

 

3) The last thing the WWE needs is to bring in another old guy to shove into the top of the card. Build new stars, don't keep dredging up stars from the past.

 

4) Allegedly, there's rumors that WWE talent is worried about cuts after the new year (1wrestling, so take it for what it's worth). But if true, I don't want to see talented guys who never got a shot get released to bring in Sting, who won't come cheap, and who won't be the draw that people are saying.

 

5) He'll probably draw some ratings out of curiosity initially, but that's it. He won't bring back the lost WCW viewers, and he won't bring in a lot of new viewers.

 

6) How long before he tries to bring in Lex?

TNA should know.....ugh. Worst. Idea. Ever.

"Sting-uh, you'll never know my TRUE-uh identity!"

 

*Poses, spits magic*

 

 

 

Hell, I'd wanna see that.

 

To answer the question, I'm pretty burnt out on nostalgia, but I think Sting would fit in better on RAW.

[LivingLegendGaryColeman 0]

I would've been alright with it if he came during the Invasion, but by now, no. He won't do it. I haven't seen any of his TNA run, but it saddens me he did that because Sting was WCW, and that is all he should've been once he declined the Invasion.

[Guest Repo Man Reborn]

I would've been alright with it if he came during the Invasion, but by now, no.  He won't do it.  I haven't seen any of his TNA run, but it saddens me he did that because Sting was WCW, and that is all he should've been once he declined the Invasion.

I totally agree.

 

Sting would've MADE the WCW invasion, because he was WCW.

Not Mike Awesome or O'Haire or Palumbo.

 

You have Sting, Goldberg, Bischoff and Flair leading the invasion and THEN you have a great angle which could be a guaranteed moneymaker for months on end, because the WWE writers would...........

 

Wait a minute.

 

Yeah, if Sting came in, he be booked to argue in promos with Triple H and they'd probably have batting practice to see who could swing a bat more better good.

 

 

I'm glad he stayed away.

 

Where is SHUTTERSPEED II?

Batting practice? Thats pretty funny.

 

 

Triple H: Watch me hit-uh a home run-uh!

He's hidden THAT particular ability of his well since, oh, 1997. The man is lazy, crap on the mic, won't work full-time, and was NEVER a good draw.

 

WWE is stronger WITHOUT him.

-=Mike

...Oooh, let's sign Hacksaw Duggan, too!

[Guest Coffey]

If Sting just showed up, unannounced, out of the blue, and snuck up behind someone, only to hit them with the Scorpion Death Drop, then I would mark the fuck out.

 

There for awhile, Sting was the reason why I still watched wrestling. He got me back into it. He's the reason I started watching WCW, etc.

 

There was a two to three year period where I just forgot about wrestling.

Working for WCW does that too you. Especially a 14 month "just sit on your ass doing nothing" booking plan that should have killed their major storlyine finally, but fucked it up and dragged it on for a year longer.

 

The guy pretty much stayed retired longer than most people, even though he never said I'm done for good. WWA came knocking for him to be in a european tour. Then another. Then NWA:TNA brought him in a few times.

 

He's wrestled about 10 matches in 3 years. The guy just doesn't wanna be on the road anymore.

I wouldn't even sacrifice Heidenreich to get that waste of time in the ring over.

I love Sting. He was, and always will be, one of my favorites. And he represents the last of WCW.

 

So. I see it like this.

 

Sting on RAW? Jobbing to HHH.

Sting on Smackdown? Jobbing to Brock.

 

Nope, I'd rather he stay away, thank you.
