He has earned, while it is sad that taker vs Sting never happen I enjoyed his wwe run.

 

[norm9]

Looking forward to Triple H inducting him.

ETA- Was really hoping for the best in the Sting run, but they screwed the pooch in execution.

 

[QuantumZebra]

GOAT

I will never forget when I went to a WCW event, Sting vs. Goldberg... he was about to beat him (scorpion deathlock) and got taken out by Hogan w/ a chair... Megadeth played the intermission (This was in Atlanta)

 

[spindashing]

Well deserved. Good for him.

 

[Penguin]

Becomes the first person to be in the WWE and THE Hall of Fame

 

[FStop7]

Maybe Seth Rollins will injure him some more as congratulations

 

[Strangelove77]

Nice.
I'm not a huge Sting fan(didn't watch WCW), but it still sucks that he lost to Triple H at 'Mania. It was pointless. He should have lost to someone who would have benefitted from it.

In general though, I'm glad he finally wrestled in WWE. It was actually a pretty good match.
The Rollins match was good too, despite the injury.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Put Rick Rude in already, Vince.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Looking forward to Triple H inducting him.

ETA- Was really hoping for the best in the Sting run, but they screwed the pooch in execution.

I don't think they did at all - its impossible to say since he can't actually finish out his run. I think the plan was for him to finally get over at WrestleMania this year.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I hope Ric Flair inducts him for one final swerve. Ric always seemed to get one over on Sting every single time.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Surfer Sting is best Sting!

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Surfer Sting is best Sting!

I prefer ultra-gassed bird hair Sting, myself.

 

[Indrid Cold1]

I never watched WCW or TNA, so I never felt the love during his WWE run watching an old guy with the most distracting bald patch ever creak around the ring in an ill-fitting leotard, looking like the next bump would make him spontaneously combust into a pile of dust and bones. Maybe I should check out his heyday on the network. Until I do, consider me both underwhelmed and extremely glad that they never wasted one of taker's last mania runs on a match with him.

 

[BobTheFork]

Bottom line, Sting was a fucking star. He carries WCW on his back for years, especially when Flair was gone, when the company had very little else to promote. He re-invented himself a few times too.

 

[Strangelove77]

That bargain bin Joker shit he did on TNA was fucking dumb though.

I even took Surfer Sting getting rescued by Robocop more seriously.

 

[Jezbollah]

They need to put Vader in too.

 

[OnPoint]

Sting was never my favorite but he was undoubtedly a legend.

I didn't like the disrespect of him losing to HHH the way he did. It's like, dude, y'all already won. You can put him over this one last match.

But I'm glad he's being recognized.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Put Rick Rude in already, Vince.

Wait The Ravishing one isn't in there?
I swear he got added in a few years back...

Blasphemy!

I swear to god if X-Pac/1-2-3 Kid gets in before him, I RIOT!

Sting was amazing for WCW, I watched for him
Got a little played out by going nWo Wolf pack and then back and forth

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Wait The Ravishing one isn't in there?

Blasphemy!

I swear to god if X-Pac/1-2-3 Kid gets in before him, I RIOT!

XPac will probably close the show and go on after Sting. Kliq rules!

 

[Garlador]

He should have been in the Hall of Fame immediately after this happened.

It was magical.

 

[DMczaf]

How do you get into the Hall of Fame with a 1-2 record?

 

[GraveRobberX]

XPac will probably close the show and go on after Sting. Kliq rules!

Fuck Paul and the Smile-less one

 

[yuraya]

They should still do a farewell match with him at Mania. Have him come out and let Taker tombstone him for the quick pin. Or maybe have John Cena quickly tap him out. It would be great for the fans.

 

[Toki767]

How do you get into the Hall of Fame with a 1-2 record?

Wins and losses don't matter to WWE.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

How do you get into the Hall of Fame with a 1-2 record?

he's best friends with robocop, he can pretty much do whatever he wants

 

[GraveRobberX]

Someone post that cheesy movie style thing WCW did with Sting vs Vader
I forgot what is was for guessing Halloween Havoc...

 

[Sephzilla]

He better be inducted by RoboCop, who is canon to the WWE Universe.

It's a shame we were denied Undertaker vs Sting because Vince and HHH had to show everyone that they're still better than WCW.

 

[Lightning Count]

Well deserved, hopefully he can recover from this injury and have a good sendoff match.

 

[Couleurs]

I hope Ric Flair inducts him for one final swerve. Ric always seemed to get one over on Sting every single time.[/IMG]

It's gotta be Ric, IMO. The only other alternative would be Lex Luger or Hulk Hogan and neither of those has any chance of happening.

And it damn well better end with him getting jumped by Ric and Arn one last time, or I'm going to be sad

 

[Liquidsnake]

Im surprised the WWE didn't job him out to anyone else on the roster. I thought Vince would like to pin him also.

 

[Savitar]

Who is he going to job too up on stage?

 

[Ovid]

Put Rick Rude in already, Vince.

Why?

 

[Super_Cobra]

He should have been in the Hall of Fame immediately after this happened.

Hahahaha. Oh wrestling. Why did I ever defend you on being real to my parents? They always told me it was faker than a billion dollar bill.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Why?

Fight me.

 

[The Albatross]

I hope Ric Flair inducts him for one final swerve. Ric always seemed to get one over on Sting every single time.

Yep, absolutely has to be Ric Flair. Could have been Ultimate Warrior if he didn't pass away. Although I dunno if him and Sting are still close.

 

[Lightning Count]

Why?

Rick Rude was a great heel and had numerous memorable feuds/matches, his feud with the Jake "The Snake" Roberts produced some great moments.

 

[BFIB]

Fucking yes.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Why?

Koko B. Ware is in.

 

[strikeselect]

I'm sure Vince and his cronies will find a way to bury Sting during the HoF process as well. Bunch of butthurt idiots couldn't let go of an old grudge and as a result we missed out on Sting/Taker.

 

[Violence Jack]

Flair was his greatest rival, so it would only make sense for him to induct Sting.

I know WWE would never do it, but I would've loved to see just one more zipline down from the rafters.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Why?

Rick Rude was my favorite heel as a child. Even then I could appreciate how hilarious it was that he wore his opponent's girl's face spraypainted on his crotch.

 

[Frecklestein]

I enjoyed his wwe run.

It's a shame he didn't.

Also, congrats to Sting for being the first person to be inducted into the WWE and TNA HoF.

 

[Indrid Cold1]

Why?

Amazing ring technician, extremely charismatic, the best physique in pro wrestling bar none, participated in some great WWF moments (Cheryl Roberts, pose-off with Ultimate Warrior, etc.)

Why not?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Rick Rude was my favorite heel as a child. Even then I could appreciate how hilarious it was that he wore his opponent's girl's face spraypainted on his crotch.

he also had god-tier aesthetics, yet didn't work stiff the way other cut/built dudes did. The guy could go.

He was the whole package, and the only reason he probably didn't get a more meaningful heel world title run was because supposedly Hogan refused to work with him.

 

[Iorv3th]

I hope Ric Flair inducts him for one final swerve. Ric always seemed to get one over on Sting every single time.

What about Luger? They where tag team partners.

 

[Tom Nook]

Well Deserved.

He could go for more watches but...

Thanks Seth

 

[Shiv47]

What about Luger? They where tag team partners.

Luger is a physical wreck post-stroke.

 

[norm9]

It'd be great if the Great Muta comes out and sprays him in the face with the mist one last time.

 

[Ovid]

Rick Rude never really stood out to me as being an all-time great wrestler.

Just a really good heel.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Rick Rude never really stood out to me as being an all-time great wrestler.

Just a really good heel.

He was an all time great, but regardless, the standard is this:

So you have to believe there is some kind of pettiness (maybe his family doesn't want to cooperate?) keeping him out. Rick was absolutely one of the most memorable guys of one of the WWE's most popular eras.
