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

[Hunter Rider]

I'm guessing Sting has been watching even though he hasn't been onscreen.

But seriously it's most likely for HHH's dream to clear off his Flair bucketlist.

As for Ziggler thankfully, fans were still hot for Ziggler winning that match and he got to be the last face to leave while still selling the beating he took in the match.

The second is the most likely.

So Sting left after dropping Triple H and Dolph was left as the final shot?

I marked out.

Cool.

They actually used continuity for once, so that's good. They executed it wrongly because AmDrag was the one that screwed himself to lose at WM against Sheamus. This just turned it into a petty jealousy thing now, so Brie is heel for no reason. They also have Nikki as the champ, who is a complete *****.

Thinking about Show, it might not be a heel turn, but who am I kidding. In the context of the situation, it made sense.

Even when trying to use continuity WWE screw it up, maybe that's why they rarely bother.

What happened with Show?

One of the best fake racks around without a doubt, John definitely forked out for a top tier surgeon.

Let's see how many exclamation points we'll get out of that guy.

We'll have to wait and see when he comes off the 24 hour mandatory watch for patients.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Show turned heel for the millionth time.

Sting will probably just have a retirement match with Triple H at Mania and ride off into the sunset. Then he'll get his much anticipated Hall of Fame induction. I don't see Sting doing much besides taunting the heels. Maybe he'll be a GM. A title run is unnecessary. He's a special attraction and anyone he faces is basically a dream match at this point.

The good stuff was Dolph winning though, I mean Sting suddenly randomly cares about what Triple H does?

The booking was over-the-top, but Dolph's moment was pretty awesome, and he sold it well...just like he does everything else. I was legit happy for the guy.

And despite the fact that the man is 55 (it still trips me out that he is actually a couple of months older than Magnum T.A.), I still marked out to see Sting enter a WWE arena, and step into a WWE ring! His staredown with Trips came off as a really big moment, and Trips sold the hell out of the Scorpion Deathdrop. IF they are building up to Sting/Triple H at 'Mania, Sting actually has a shot at winning his Wrestlemania debut. He has no chance if they put him against Taker, but Trips may actually job for him.

I just read what they did to AJ Brooks.

There have been conflicting reports that she may be taking some time off, or leaving altogether.

Show turned heel for the millionth time.

Show himself probably has a hard time keeping up with it.

 

[Wheels]

Trips WILL put over the HOF'er who signed a lucrative merchandise deal with WWE. There's no question.

 

[vantheman77]

Vince Russo pointed out that if WWE makes Sting a GM, they run the risk of overexposing him thus losing that specialness and he'd be just another guy in WWE. They need to use Sting sparingly in order to make him special.

I hope WWE can do something with Sting that's different from what WCW and TNA did and not being a retread. If he's to be inducted into the WWE HoF, I hope it's either Ric Flair, Lex Luger, Eric Bischoff, or Jim Ross to be the ones inducting him.

 

[SuperBatman]

What happened with Show?

Show knocked out Mark Henry to start the match he then knocked out Cena to get him out of the match and shook HHH's hand and left leaving Ziggler to pretty much win the match himself even though Sting had to step in after HHH just couldn't stop sticking his big nose into the match.

I guess given I don't watch it's irrelevant to get tetchy about it, I just felt reading the posts in here like "Why not let this just be Dolph's night" and save Sting for Raw, especially given TV ratings matter more than the events do now.

When I saw the screencap I admit I smiled and considered looking for clip online tomorrow, and I would fully expect Triple H to put Sting over at Mania if they have a match, afterall Flair narly always did. Joking aside though, Triple H is way too smart to get off on a bad foot with Sting by going over and pissing off fans at the same time.

There have been conflicting reports that she may be taking some time off, or leaving altogether.

Yeah I read that, she is best off out of there I think, I mean it's amazing how her spot has remained so in tact after what her husband did, but that seems down to Vince. I imagine the working environment is pretty hostile if you listen to Nikki and Natalya talk about her when not in character, the bitterness oozes.

Just a shame they didn't let her go out with a proper match if that is it for her, but they may work it towards The Bellas vs AJ & Trish or Lita at Mania.

I agree I just don't see Sting as a GM. Even though he was a GM in TNA but still I think they shouldn't make him the GM. I'd be all for Foley being the GM if anything. Have Sting show up lilited times building up to WM you have to have him on Raw a few times though.

 

[Slushy]

What happened with Show?

He got scared when his team dwindled and didn't want to get fired again so he turned on Cena in predictable fashion by knocking him out and left Ziggler high and dry.

Show is in a contest with Kane to see who can turn back and forth the most over their career, absolutely ridiculous stuff and sets up more Cena vs Show because that was awesome in 2012...........

 

[Dr. Evil]

Sting to Triple H: "Every breath you take, every move you make, I'll be watching you!"

Like anybody wants to see that again. LOL

Neither do I and it's going to be strange considering that he just debuted and not heavily associated with the WWE legacy. At least he's listed as WCW Alumni.

I don't normally watch WWE, but only Sting will keep my interest.

Ironic that there's history between Sting, Triple H, and Scott Armstrong that goes back 20 years ago in WCW. I hope Sting brings up Terra Ryzing and Jean-Paul Levesque the next time he appears.

 

[Slushy]

more cena vs show because that was awesome in 2003..........

 

[Wheels]

But guys, surely Cena can't lift Show, right? I mean we've never seen that.

 

[cabel]

Finished the WWN live Beijing show. Good main event with Gargano and Ricochet.

 

[Hunter Rider]

2009 as well.

But guys, surely Cena can't lift Show, right? I mean we've never seen that.

They'll even through in a failed attempt that will be sold with as much gusto as Lawler and Cole can muster for a decade old rerun!

 

[Lantern Venom]

Wyatt vs Ambrose was decent, but the rest of the PPV was useless.

 

[sweetre15]

But man, the main redeeming point of the show was Ziggler winning that match.

And Ziggler getting the rub of having Sting intercept the cheating and put Dolph on Rollins for the pin after Dolph had him beat anyway.

 

[vantheman77]

I wonder if they're going to revive the feud between Sting and Big Van Vader.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

The dirty mother ****ers did it to me again. I refused to watch survivor series as the uk STILL doesn't have the network so we would have to have paid around $45 where as most of the entire world got the damn thing for free.

And the go and debut sting

This just turned it into a petty jealousy thing now, so Brie is heel for no reason. They also have Nikki as the champ, who is a complete *****.

I don't think the Kiss of Death was as clear-cut as all that. I think tomorrow night on Raw, we'll find out Brie and Nikki were in cahoots all along, and the whole Belladrama was designed to lure AJ out until they could get Nikki in place for the title shot. They figured neither Bella could actually beat her clean, so they took a page out of her old playbook and played dirty.

 

[I'm Venom]

I wish that Owen stuff never happened would've been epic if he was up in the rafters.
