Sting n Luger to WWE Rico Haas Eddy

[Guest Trivia247]

take for a grain of salt.

 

WrestlingObserver.com is reporting that WWE has been in contact with Sting over the past few weeks. Sting reportedly doesn't have much interest in working for WWE, but the rumor going around is that if he could get WWE to sign Lex Luger, he'd be willing to sign a deal. Luger, who is a close friend of Sting's, is experiencing some major financial problems right now due to all his legal expenses, and Sting is using himself to land Luger a job.

 

 

According to reports, Eddie Guerrero is taking his role as WWE champion very well, and isn't taking any time off despite being very banged up physically.

 

 

There is talk that the reason Charlie Haas is being paired with Rico is to have Jackie begin falling for Haas, and eventually leave Rico for him. Management wants to pair Haas up with Jackie because they feel it would add more depth to Haas's character.

Line 'em up, and I'll put them down. LUGER NEEDS TO RETIRE! Get a job at Chuck E. Cheese as a pitiful animal, just stop stinking up the ring. But since I'm a Sting Fan 4 Life, I won't argue that, although there is nothing he can really do.

I would shit blood if they brought Lex in. He's completly useless and brings too much bad shit with him.

[Guest Trivia247]

I agree ... Luger would have the specter of "Uh yea here comes the guy who shared drugs with Liz till she died"

I don't think even having Sting come in for hell freezing over stint is enough to lug Luger around with him..

[AndrewTS 0]

I'm hoping Sting can help Luger turn his life around, but that would have to happen and he'd need to be able to get in 1989 condition before I'd want to watch him in a match again.

 

Gee, I wonder why building stars takes time?

[BifEverchad 0]

Jesus, Lugers so pathetic he has Stiong tryin to land him jobs again. according to the MNW DVD, Sting did that for Luger in 1995.

 

Now its, 2004 and he's doing it again.

 

Sad.

 

Luger must go away. Infact, I have no desire to see Sting around either.

[EdwardKnoxII 0]

I'm a huge Sting fan so I do want to see in the WWE. But, you just know that Vince would just love that get his hands on him and book him like shit and have him say things like how he always wanted to go to the WWE and how he hated WCW since Sting IS WCW.

[Guest Choken One]

Luger needed help getting a job in 1995? When Vince was still using him? That sounds odd...

 

I thought Luger was still capable of getting work even then...

 

but again WWE would be fools to do this. The press won't respond nicely for vince hiring a guy who was arrested for Possesion of Steroids and other shit and was a suspect in a murder investigation of his girlfriend.

 

Sting would be another Hogan, Huge reaction at first due to nostalgia but unless Sting can jump on track right away and show he is still capable of hangin with the big boys...then thats fine.

 

HBK was able to come back and make himself relevant again but Sting will have to make the sacrifice Shawn did...at first shawn just did A handful of raws and the PPVs and now he is a main eventer again with a revived career working nearly every show dispite ACL injury.

 

 

However, I doubt sting has that same desire/ego that shawn does. I wouldn't mind sting coming back for a one time deal...Saying that he always wanted to go against the best, He beaten Flair, Vader, Hogan, Foley, Austin but never met THE GAME.

 

If it's CROW STING...Then use the same idea with Undertaker which would be a good draw TAKER VS STING.

 

But No Luger.

Actually, they won't respond at all. They didn't care the last time he hired an ex-con (Nathan Jones). Why would they care now?

It looks like that Luger vs Hardcore Holly dream match could come to fruition

[Downhome 0]

I don't care who it is from WCW that would come to WWE, take your pick of almost any of them, and I'd like it for at least the first show they were on.

 

I miss WCW.

[Guest duck420]

sting would suck in wwe who would he wrestle? you know he would refuse to job to a young star. cant put the title on him(well you could) i would like to see him with blond hair though fighting edge

Screw that. I want to see if Luger and Billy Gunn can both exist together side by side.

Because Lex Luger's involvment in Liz's death actually got mainstream coverage and the steroid incident was another covered story...

 

 

Hiring an Ex-Con from Australia is one thing but hiring a relatively known Steroid Abuser involved in a quasi high profile death with suspicious circumstances is different.

 

 

It's the same reason no one would Hire O.J Simpson to be a coach...the name has a bad stigma.

That's odd, I don't recall it being covered by any non-wrestling media outlets. I'm sure the local news in the area it happened covered it, though.

 

Still, why would they care to give a smidgen of attention to that insane carnie Vince? They tend to pretty much ignore him after the Billy/Chuck incident.

Sting's not really a selfish guy and if Hogan (the king of selfish assholes) was willing to lay down to Angle and a Green Lesnar...I doubt Sting would care about laying down for Orton or Christian or Trips...whoever they use him for.

 

 

Although I can see Sting requesting for a match with Flair...I'd be fine with that...as long as it's not a huge main event or a big deal...Just call it "Legend Vs Legend"...dont say it'll be the greatest match ever because it won't...but it wouldn't offend anyone really (well, some here will be).

 

But Sting as far as I know (i dont watch TNA) is still in decent shape and can still go...He's been stuck in TNA where the upper talent can't touch what WWE (it's a fact. live with it tna fan boys. ). So I think sting would be motivated by the big pay day and higher profile match with a bigger name on grander stage.

 

Seriously, when Jeff Jarrett is the biggest high profile name in your company...you can't be that motivated to care.

 

However, I still doubt Sting will come, Vince will throw alot at him but he won't flinch.

I can vouche for that. It was also mentioned on CNN.

 

If they do want to bring Sting in, they should for a short time, like next January through Wrestlemania. That would be enough time to bring him in, have a brief feud and than a big match against Flair. Then he can dissappear before he gets stale/exposed.

[Guest wrestlingbs]

Luger just screams "mistake." If Sting wants to help him, get him clean first, and then get him far away from wrestling. Because it's very easy for a recovering drug addict to fall off the wagon while on the road.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

There's absolutely no reason to sign Sting. There's even less reason if 1 of his stipulations is to sign Luger, as well.

[AlaskanHero 0]

If they were to sign Sting and Luger, how do you know they aren't gonna feed him to Orton? They are technically Legends. And Orton is still the Legend-Killer. Otherwise, I can't see any use for them other than trying to help Smackdown with the "Star-Power" of the two.

Bishoff hated his attitude and thought he sucked in the ring, so didn't want him. He offered him a very low figure just to tell Sting that he'd tried, and, much to his surprise, Luger accepted it.

[Guest Choken One]

then why was he shoved down our throats for 4 years?

[Use Your Illusion 0]

Because Sting was their biggest draw, Choke. You and I both know that it was the inmates who were running that asylum.

 

I'm unsure on the details, but didn't Sting & Luger have an argument around 2000, causing him to instantly fall out of favour with management? I believe it was Russo at the helm by that time, so maybe it had nothing to do with Sting and everything to do with Vince hating Luger.

 

Either way, because of Sting, WCW payed Luger millions to do whatever it is he called what he did in the ring.

 

UYI

I don't know if this is what you're talking about but, around '99-'00 Sting became a born again Christian and he told his wife about all the wild things him and Luger had done on the road. Sting's wife then told Luger's wife which led to Luger and his wife getting a divorce.

[The Buzz 0]

I am one of sting's biggest fans but I'd rather he stay retired or work tna for two reasons. I don't think he deserves to have to put up with the wwe bullshit after working in wcw for most of his career. And secondly...as much as Sting is worth seeing for a year or two....Luger is just that much more not worth it.

[Guest Trivia247]

the thing with Sting is that he was so no where near the WWF at any point in his career that you can't think of to many MONEY matches you'd want to see with him vs anyone in the WWE today.

 

the closest I can imagine would be Sting vs the Undertaker but thats about it...

 

and Luger heh...

 

I can imagine Randy Orton going after Luger.... Luger trying to restart his grassroots movement in coming back to the WWE, using the old Lex Express....he arrives in his first PPV with the Lex Express and has his match with like Batistia or someone...and Randy Orton is seen stealing the Lex Express and drives it off a cliff.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Sting can still-go for a man who's been semi-retired for 3 years, but the problem is the traveling. He works TNA occasionally because it doesn't require criss-crossing around the country all week and it's only now and then.

 

It's nice he's a good enough friend to help Luger get a job, which really we can't blame him. How many people have friends who help other friends get jobs when they need help? But the problem is, no one wants Luger around. Promoters don't like his attitude and greed, and fans don't like his attitude, lazyness, and everything else he does wrong.

 

Maybe in WWE Luger can change his ways and try (), but if Vince is smart enough, he'll just snub the idea like when Luger claimed WWE would be calling him any day....a year ago.

 

BTW, out of no particular reason, Miss Elizabeth died exactly one year ago I think. (May 1st)

[Art Sandusky 0]

I rather liked the idea postulated by someone I read who said that Sting should stalk HHH or Benoit or some big name for a long time, like he did Hogan in 1997. Just appear in the rafters, be mysterious as hell. Okay, almost a year, like in WCW, would be waaaaay too long, but three months of Sting mysteriously appearing would be pretty darned good. Plus, Sting can still work a match. He might not put on any ***** classic, but damned if he couldn't get a solid *** PPV match at least.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

Anyone know how old Sting is these days?

 

While I'm at it, how about Luger?
