What if that's how they bring Stephanie back?
I was Sister Abigail all along, Bray!
Honestly I expect Stephanie to be allied with Owens in all of this
Stepping to premium commentary finally!

Funny story. Rumor is, Becky came up with that gimmick.
But either way, they changed that in a hot second.
Dave did not. That was Alvarez. He presented the idea to Dave and Dave said "I guess that could be why".
It's nothing probably.

God, this is such a damn WCW thing.
I just fucking love how when the bells rings she gets back up and starts doing the fucking jig again, like you know she was told 'never stop doing the dance'...
Just based on how I reacted and how other Irish fans I know reacted I'm gonna go ahead and call that rumour BS.

I have an issue. I can't decide on a #1 WWE waifu.

I dunno. Even though WCW couldn't finish what was a awesome storyline between Sting and Hogan, I think the beginning of the end is Starrcade 98.

Be like me. Have one WWE (Dana Brooke) and one NXT (Kairi Sane).
Naw, They had a chance to make sting the biggest baby face in the company and fuck it so bad that sting was never the same as well as the company .

True. Going through 98, Sting is floundering. The best they have for him is joining the nwo wolfpac. He was still one of the most over people in the company.

The only time sting has ever been good
Nah.. He was pure fire in the late 80s early 90s.
I still hold to this day that the Pop when he beat Flair at GAB still holds up as one of the loudest pops ever.

Aren't you in '99 now?
Uh-oh.
You told me you knew things, Heroman. I can't believe you'd just lie to me like that. : (The only time sting has ever been good
sting/hogan was the beginning of the end
goldberg/hogan was the end. that's my canon ending to wcw, on the greatest night in the history of our sport.
starrcade 98 + fingerpoke was end of the end

I feel like since I have stopped watching Raw and SD I am watching more wrestling than ever. Outside of DDT and when NJPW put on a show I've mainly been watching old shit lately.

Im at Starrcade. Just finished the Bischoff/Flair match. Flair lost...why 🤔
Hmm, okay now that you put it like that I can get behind it.
Sting/Hogan is Simpsons season 1-8
Goldberg/Hogan is Season 9 episode 1.
Starrcade/Fingerpoke is Season 9 episode 2 - current.
But he was never the same as a drawing power Post starrcade 97. And not to mention that starrcade 97 what's the biggest pay-per-view WCW ever did and they gave the people worst pro wrestling finishes ever.

Fucking Hogan and his politics, then add to that the attempt to milk the Montreal Screwjob = disaster..
That match was the one time we needed a clean fucking finish. It was THE PERFECT FUCKING BUILD UP, I mean seriously.... Nothing will ever come close to NWO-Sting Build up, EVER.
I wouldn't out all the blame on Hogan. Like sting had like what a year to get in shape get ready for this match but didn't. And not to mention he didn't have the drive or the passion to stand up to Hogan or the bookers.
Did sting have creative control? It really feels like starrcade 97 is the one event as a booker that you say "clean decisive finish and that's that"

I agree.
I think that's because WCW got lucky with Goldberg. If only WCW put Goldberg/Hogan on a PPV on that, the greatest night in the history of our sport.

Sting couldn't even beat HHH. You expect me to believe he's one of the greats?
You got it!
Goldberg brought a year or 2 which is kinda amazing considering how bad they were. And i dont know how well a goldberg vs hogan ppv would do . I doubt it would beat their record.

Not at all
If people don't believe that someone visibly stops caring when they know something won't go well or alright, okay. That's your prerogative. Just try to remember the possibility when talking about Nak putting in another 2-star """"effort"""" or looking at old footage of the Shield and remarking about "well, Dean looked so good and STRONG back then, what happen

Shame Alicia Fox didn't get started in the last few years instead of when the division went into the dark days of the "Divas Division" when women's matches were treated as bathroom breaks and they had their shit training.
How good Sting was, was totally dependent on who he worked with, he was a relatively easy carry working with someone better than him but from what I remember he wasn't one who could do the carrying and was never the ring general sort.
