Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 I'd say Smackdown could use him, but then he'd have to be heel, and that probably wouldn't fit very well. Remember Fall Brawl 1999? Sting cheats like hell...and the crowd still cheers him. Sting = not a good heel. Once he turned face in 87, he was stuck that way for good.
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 I'd say Smackdown could use him, but then he'd have to be heel, and that probably wouldn't fit very well. Remember Fall Brawl 1999? Sting cheats like hell...and the crowd still cheers him. Sting = not a good heel. Once he turned face in 87, he was stuck that way for good. Normally I would agree with that, but Sting has been out of the average fan wrestling eye for sometime now. Thus I feel if done the right way he could easily become a heel. But it would take some work from the WWE booking committee(good luck there) that I really doubt they would be able to handle......
Guest Trivia247 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 Sting: I'll sell my soul to you Satan..Errrr I'll sign the Contract Vince Vince: Bwahahahahaha oh I mean, yes that will be mutual beneficial. Sting: Oh just one thing though. Vince: Huh? Sting goes and opens the door and there is Lex Luger folding his baseball hat trying to give Vince Puppydog eyes through drugged out bloodshots... Sting: He signs...I sign. Vince: Ah Shit.........
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 I think that's a little wrong.. Vince: Hey...how you doing Lex? I think I'll give you that World Title run I promised you ten years ago. Someone get me Chris whatshisname. His title reign bombed, so it's time to give it to a real champion. Sting: What about me? Vince: Uh...you can have that other title on the shitty show. Sting: NWA-TNA? Vince: HAHA! Just for that, you get the title instead. Lex, you'll have to wait some more.
tbondrage99 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 I would almost say give Luger a chance but after the first fuck up his ass is thrown out the door, since surely he wouldnt be lasting to long....ALMOST but not quite.
iliketurtles Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 They were going to do that at WM19? The same WM Austin was having heart attacks the night before and planned on simi retiring at? And from SAFECO FIELD? RIIIIGHT. That has disaster written all over it.
Jobber of the Week Posted May 20, 2004 Report Posted May 20, 2004 They were going to do that at WM19? The same WM Austin was having heart attacks the night before and planned on simi retiring at? Actually, outside the show that year, prior to anyone going in and seeing what the rigging looked like, there was rumors running around in the line that the dome would open up and Sting would arrive in a helicopter. The dome is really fast to open as far as sports domes go, so most people assumed it might happen until they noticed the big thing hanging from the ceiling.
Guest CronoT Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 In an interview with IGN.com (to promote the upcoming new Legends of Wrestling game), Sting says he wants to work for WWE. "If it were done properly, I would do it. This last Wrestlemania would've been a good one, Wrestlemania XX, just the fact that I've never been a part of one. I would definitely do it. You know, Vince and I have talked several times over the past few years. The Wrestlemania before, he wanted me to repel out of the ceiling and do something with Stone Cold Steve Austin, and we were set to do it, we were going to do it, but once the attorney's get going, and it's not my attorney, he's only doing what I ask him to do, but once their attorney's get involved, it's tough. When I talk to Vince, it's easy. Anyway, I had to call Vince and tell him that we couldn't do it. He's been great every time I've talked to him, so you never know. It's something I'm interested in." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ When "The Stinger" shows up in wwe, i'll mark out like a bitch !! What do you say ?? Yes or No to Sting ?? Work.
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 SmackDown could really use him. Even if it means turning Eddie heel.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 no way Sting would go to Smackdown initially.
Use Your Illusion Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 I think it'd be great if Eddie formed his own little 'minority' stable and raised hell, feuding with the likes of Undertaker & Sting. Before I'm torn to shreds, I know it only sounds good on paper. Forgive me, my Taker sense blinds my judgement. I love you, Mark. UYI

Im sure the WWE would do the stable more justice than WCW did.
Lil' Bitch Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Remember Fall Brawl 1999? Sting cheats like hell...and the crowd still cheers him. I loved that so much. Sting is already loved, he turns heel, and they loved him even more! Just like with Eddie. Im sure the WWE would do the stable more justice than WCW did. Hey, at least Disco Inferno isn't around.
Guest Anglesault Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 I know it only sounds good on paper. It sounds good on paper?
iggymcfly Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 The last thing the WWE needs is another washed up "star" in his 40s who can't wrestle anymore. He's a good fit for a fed like TNA that's desperate for name value, but he wouldn't do anything for the WWE.
King Cucaracha Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Sting is about the biggest name in American wrestling that Vince could bring in, that hasn't already been brought in. Plus, merchandise wise, Vince can hardly lose with Sting. It'd certainly do Smackdown no harm to bring Sting in, even if it's in an Undertaker type 'makes irregular apperances' role. How you'd turn him heel effectively though is beyond me.
Guest DeputyHawk Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 They were going to do that at WM19? The same WM Austin was having heart attacks the night before and planned on simi retiring at? And from SAFECO FIELD? RIIIIGHT. That has disaster written all over it. I think he probably meant two years ago, ie WMX8 at the Skydome. I vaguely remember chat about Sting getting involved in the NWO Invasion angle when they were going with Austin vs. Nash & Hall. That at least makes more sense.
humongous2002 Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 What's worse than an unmotivated wrestler on SD? A highly paid old unmotivated wrestler with facepaint on SD.
King Cucaracha Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 What's worse than an unmotivated wrestler on SD? A highly paid old unmotivated wrestler with facepaint on SD. Either that, or a whole big bunch of nothing on Smackdown except Eddie, Taker and Dupree's Wang.
Guest M. Harry Smilac Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 A Flair/Orton Vs. Shelton/Sting match would be cool. Sting may be washed up but his offense is not like Scott Steiner's in that you need to be in your prime to do alot of your moves. The only thing I could see him not doing anymore is maybe press slams.

The only thing I could see him not doing anymore is maybe press slams. Judging from his TNA matches, he is in great physical condition, and hasn't changed at all excedpt for his age. And I think he still does press slams, but I'm not 100% sure.

The man has taken the worst stretches of UT's work, combined them with piss poor mic work and iffy, at best, drawing prowess --- and stretched it over 7 years. -=Mike
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Well when you consider how he was booked from mid 98-end of WCW in 2001, you'll get the answer why. If I was Sting, I would've half assed the nonsense feuds with Luger and Vampiro too.

If I was Sting, I would've half assed the nonsense feuds with Luger and Vampiro too. If you're going to half-ass work because you're not thrilled with your booking (even though you do wield considerable clout IN your booking) --- then you are DEFINITELY not needed in the WWE. They already had one Goldberg. -=Mike
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted May 21, 2004 Report Posted May 21, 2004 Well when the writers tell you to sit 50 feet above the ring instead of wrestle for 15 months, I guess he has no right to complain about being mis-used for four years.

The writers didn't tell him to do it --- he fulfilled his contract, refused to renegotiate, so they pretty much had few other options. He COULD have decided to churn out WATCHABLE matches after that --- but he didn't. His work was horrid. He was BAD --- by WCW under the Bisso regime standards. -=Mike
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted May 22, 2004 Report Posted May 22, 2004 Well that's getting carried away. Watch for example GAB 99, and you'll see 10 of the shittest matches ever. And our ol pal Sting has to pretend he's viciously attacked by DOGS.

Guest Trivia247 Posted May 22, 2004 Report Posted May 22, 2004 Anyone mention the Vampiro feud with Sting with graveyard matches and that Match involving Fire.
