STING!! Revealed as Pre-Order Bonus for WWE 2K15
- Thread starter Macho Madness
- Start date
He came to TNA in ~2005 and stayed there until early 2014. He had great presence there, many great feuds, participation in organizations, stints as GM, and more.
I enjoyed him there a lot.
The man is nearly 60 years old

Damn Bret still can do it great. And he probably has a lot harder time with it, because of the stroke.
they still both look better than The Rocks version....

Hulk Hogan IS 60 years old and looks better shape.
Looks. Hogan can barely walk.

Hogan can't take a bump without breaking a hip nowadays.
Sting is... around 100000x more mobile than Hogan. He does not have large muscle mass, but he's still have few simpler matches in him.

I just realized Sting is 55, Hogan is 60 and Flair is 65.
I'm totally shocked there's only a 5 year difference between Hogan and Sting.
I thought Sting was like 10 years younger. And Flair, I thought he had a solid decade over Hogan.
They're all pretty close in age.
Man, I feel old now.
I remember watching Starcade with the 4 Horseman back in the old NWA and Flair looked kinda old then lol

If you ever want mindblown.gif, go look up how old DDP was when he first won the WCW title

This looks worse than Rocky's sharpshooter.
It was just as terrible as the first two.
I was so upset when i bought this game
awful

Really? Again, Sting was using the Sasori-gatame (original Japanese name, which coincidentally, translates to Scorpion Deathlock) years before Bret starting using it and renamed it Sharpshooter.
And yet even with that headstart, he still sucks ass at it.

And your basing that opinion on an obvious cherry picked GIF?

Hogan's looks are misleading though. His back is so fucked that he can barely walk. Sting can still work a pretty decent match. Hell, even Flair at 65 can still do more physical stuff than Hogan. He got involved with Bray Wyatt at a house show a few days ago, whereas WWE won't let Hogan do anything physical in case he... well, dies.
All of sting's scorpion deathlock pretty much look the same. Where he's standing and not applying any pressure.
Where bret has always applied pressure and leaned back.

They could of just paid vampiro 50bucks and put him in, instead of a silly skin

I wouldn't say that at all.
And a pic of when he beat Jeff Jarret for the NWA Championship.
I thought he was going to break his back when I saw it live.
Foe those of you who are still wondering what "Two Generations of Sting..." meant (as if it weren't already obvious), here's confirmation from the WWE 2K15 website.

Is sting back in WWE or something? Why is this happening?
Back? He never was in the WWE to begin with.
"back" is not the term as he never was in WWE before. Sting has signed a "Legend" contract with WWE. We don't know yet if he'll actively appear in the program, and potentially wrestle, in the futur.
Rumors (I know) that he'll sign a contract with WWE later this year.
I dunno, I think that last night's promo with him for the game being the first time he's actually appeared in WWE ever is a big deal and just the start. I hope he does at least one match in WWE...just for the fans.

He had an interview about being included in the game and being open to do more things with WWE (which I hope he does)

WWE crowd has had massive blue balls with Sting over the last few months. Will be insane once he's actually at a show!
I know he's not early 90's/97 Sting anymore but he can still work a match like a champ.

That thing has been around, taking donations and in development for almost 10 years now and no-one's seen hide nor hair of it.
EDIT: Actually, checking their website, it's been 11.
Doesn't being playable in WWE's game mean he already signed a contract?
I'm not sure about that. Wasn't RvD in Smackdown vs Raw 2011 while he was in TNA?
Same here, only reason why I clicked on this thread. Sting in WWE would probably be the only thing that would get me to buy this game...
