The nWo saving Sting still makes absolutely zero fucking sense

 

[Data West]

How gross is it going to be when Rollins does a buckle bomb on his first match back.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Sigh.

And the one WrestleMania he wrestled in wasn't against Undertaker. Goddamnit Vince, you had one job.

It would be terrible. Quit pretending like it'd be good. It would be TERRIBLE.

 

[Aiii]

It would be terrible. Quit pretending like it'd be good. It would be TERRIBLE.

It would have been a better match than Shane verse Taker, for sure.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Trash overrated WCW / TNA edgy superstar who couldn't make a gimmick of his own so he spent his whole career stealing from movies. Surfer dude, Crow, Joker, what a fraud.

It's going to be awesome, because Seth is the best thing going. Sting is a respected vet. If those bumps occurred it's because he was okay with them occurring. It's not Seth's or anyone else's fault that his old ass body couldn't handle them anymore. Sometimes guys need Father Time to smack them across the face and tell them to quit.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

People why say he should have come to WWE back in the day should go find the interview where he explained why he didnt. If anything, you can blame Vince and his cronies for it never happening.

Yeah the whole way booker t got treated.

 

[imBask]

Would it surprise anyone if Seth was told not to hold back? i'm not saying it happened, but i'm saying I wouldn't even be surprised by it. Ruining wrestlers who made a career outside of WWE is the norm by now

 

[yogloo]

Sting would be another person who's a hero. The matches he's created over the years, I don't really watch it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that.

 

[Sephzilla]

It would be terrible. Quit pretending like it'd be good. It would be TERRIBLE.

It would have been better than Undertaker vs Bray or Undertaker vs Shane

Spoiler

or Triple H vs Undertaker 2 & 3

. And c'mon Vince, you of all people should appreciate that Undertaker vs Sting has much bigger selling power than either of those other matches.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I guess he had to put up the red light. Those days are over, he doesn't have to sell his body to the fights.

Sure. But it would have been the drizzling shits, no matter what you're comparing it to.

[giancarlo123x]

My favorite of all time, his last match with Seth was pretty great until the unfortunate spot that injured him.

He was in the nWo at one point, though it wasn't black and white.

 

[Data West]

Sting was having matches with guys around the same age and speed as Rollins in TNA frequently, like Bobby Roode or Austin Aries.

The difference is Bobby Roode didn't have to do a psycho driver off the ramps into a table because he knew Sting was older and he didn't need to rely on big indie geek moves for reactions to his matches

 

[Sephzilla]

And that was dumb too!

Yeah, Seth is an idiot. Why would he do those moves to someone who's almost 60?

 

[bjork]

Of course it was, it was wcw. That's why he was never going to go over superior WWE legend HHH.

 

[Zach]

One of my favorites until Starrcade '97. RIP Sting.

Oh, he's alive?

Uh, thanks for the pre-Wolfpac memories, Sting.

Remember when Sting beat the shit out of a kid?

TNA gifs are so good. More please.

This joke doesn't really work when talking about one of the most prolific characters of prime-time television in the 90s.

 

[Chamber]

What moves are safe to do on a 56 year old? Father Time was coming for Sting eventually and it just so happened to be in the form of a Buckle Bomb.

 

[mreddie]

 

[Ninja Scooter]

OP should have used the more common "Man Called Sting" name.

 

[bjork]

I really really hate road dogg. He has the most punchable face.

That's okay, Sting was actually a kid in disguise anyways.

Road Dogg heat.

No, that was Jim Neidhart.

Yeah, who could forget the classic film, "Surfer Dude", about the surfer who painted his face and beat up bad guys. So overlooked.

 

[Striker]

He did a powerbomb into a turnbuckle. It's mindless stupidity. More "gotta get these indie spots in to get some cheap pops" type of moves. Not nearly as shitty looking as his superplex into a Falcon Arrow spot, though.

I didn't want to be the first to blame indie wrestling fuckery and deal with "gimmick" cries but I'll gladly be the second.

Indie wrestling put Sting in the retirement home. This is fact.

Terry Funk was doing moonsaults at that age.

Flair did a ladder match with Edge, but he's kind of a freak.

 

[DieH@rd]

He is my favourite wrestler of all time.

A true legend and a phenomenal performer both on mic and in a ring. I'm amazed that he managed to wrestle for so long [I watched his entire run in TNA].

 

[mreddie]

When Sting met Sting

Look at how HBK wrestled 60 year old Ric Flair. You never had to worry that Flair was going to get crippled in that match. Everyone watching who saw Sting take the buckle bombs knew that was incredibly stupid as soon as they saw it.

Mae Young and Moolah were much older.

Seth never would have done those moves unless Sting was okay with it.
