Without the Wrestling Thread, There Is...No...You! - - Part 187

[Lead Cenobite]

As much as I loved seeing Sting, I did hate his theme. It sounded so generic and wasn't his iconic theme that the fans know. Made no sense not to use his WCW music.

Also, the rumor is that this appearance was a last minute decision. You could kinda of tell since Sting's hair wasn't dyed like in his other WWE appearances. I alsi hope he is in good shape physically whenever he debuts in the ring for them.

For a last minute appearance, they certainly tossed him right into the fray. I expected him to be like Hogan, acting as a spokesperson and rarely(if ever) being directly involved in story lines or getting physical.

I have AXS tv as well, plus I recently found out that one of our local stations carries Ring of Honor.

After the great reception they got from the WWE 2K15 commercial, it makes no sense for them to not use that music. It was freaking epic.

I finally got to take a breather and before that main event, it probably would have gotten a 5.5/10 but now it gets a 7 because nothing on wrestling has made me feel this way since Mania 30.

Haven't watched that much wrestling, huh?

New Japan to air on AXSTV

Cool, I have this channel.

 

[vantheman77]

Since Sting is 55, I assume he underwent a physical and passed.

I can see Sting and John Cena trading stories about their mentor, Rick Bassman.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

At Lynnhaven Mall?

Yup! You in this area too?

Remember when the crowd went nuts after his theme played right when airing the 2k15 commercial? Vince sure doesn't. Jim Johnston had to get paid somehow.

It was a cool moment but I dunno.....I thoroughly LOVED seeing Cena get decimated by Lesnar at Summerslam. The rest of that card was pretty solid as well.

 

[the dmg]

Wooooooo!

I just wish we had seen Sting join WWE years ago.

 

[runawayboulder]

The Scorpion Death Drop is one of the coolest moves in all of wrestling. I loved when he would do that s**t a hundred times to all the NWO members back in the day.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Edit.

Personally, I would've saved Sting's debut for RAW following Fast Lane to confront Undertaker.

I'm guessing it was supposed to be Orton to make the save, but got changed to Sting as a desperation move. Can't say I blame WWE though. They make it free for everybody to lure in the most watchers possible then make a big move like that to try to turn them into subscribers. Well played.

Thinking back to Sting at Comic Con, he needs to keep it wet or gel it like Punk so it keeps his hair closer together and looks full.

Sting's brother-in-paint, Road Warrior Animal, commented several years ago that Sting is not an icon until he's in WWE. This should answer that now!!

If Sting gets inducted into WWE's HoF next year, he will be the first man to be in both TNA and WWE HoF.

Anyone seen pictures of his son, Steven? I smell second coming.

TNA HOF. Hahahahahahahaha.

That's such a silly comment by Animal. Sting has nothing he needs to prove to the WWE audience. Everyone knows who he is and what he's accomplished.

The WWE HoF is more of a Professional Wrestling HoF at this point.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

TNA HOF. Hahahahahahahaha.

It's been buried by both Kurt Angle and the Dudleyz.

 

[Dr. Evil]

TNA has a Hall of Fame?

 

[cabel]

Yup! You in this area too?

Yup

 

[TheNextNolan22]

So NJPW's AXS TV deal is going to be playing clips/shows from 2013?

 

[the dmg]

TNA has a Hall of Fame?

Don't think about it too much.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

TNA has a Hall of Fame?

It's even more kayfabe than WWE's.

 

[Slushy]

TNA HOF. Hahahahahahahaha.

To be fair, I like the style of it (I attended Sting's HOF two years ago). Only one inductee with a bunch of talent talking about said person for the event. We also got served a 3 course dinner during this. t:

Thirteen episodes, so it has to be.

 

[Hunter Rider]

So Dolph wins the main event and then gets overshadowed...............another day, same old ****.

Looks like Sting has trained off the pot he was getting in TNA.

Wooooooo!

So, Sting vs Triple H at Mania I guess.
