Yeah, I am not sure I buy into the romanticization of the whole holding out thing. I get it I guess, but I am not sure it really means much. Actually, in an ideal world he just signs a merch deal and never shows up on TV. That way we all win in terms of video games, dvds, action figures, or whatever other wrestling merch there is, but we can all say he never wrestled for Vinny Mac and he never did the job at wrestlemania.

Some of us still don't want to see him in a wwe box or on a dvd cover. I know I am unique in this around here but anything associated with the wwe needs to remain Sting free. I haven't yet bought a "best of WCW' Or "Best of nitro" or any of the wwe dvds about WcW too me that production just seems disrespectful to the memory. Like allot of things wwe has done. I will be proud of myself as a 90year old dieing man having never gave a Mcmahon a dime of my money.

That is a radical stand that i can't fathom as a wrestling fan. I mean, good for you if that is how you feel.
So you have never watched WWE on TV (at least not as an adult) or bought a single WWE dvd? Nothing?

Ive watched very little on TV over the last 10 years. I have been at parties where it was on and watched, I have never paid for a wwe DVD or merchandise as an adult. I got turned onto wrestling in the late 80's by my uncle who was a big NWA / WCW fan, He had a big tape collection, so i grew up watching that stuff. He wasn't a wwf fan either so i never saw it. Of course as a young kid I would go to shows but not really notice the difference, and in the 90's I watched some. But always waiting for Wcw on Saturdays or Nitro when it came up. When the Monday night wars were going on, I was completely one sided and as i learned more and more about wrestling I just learned to hate their entire philosophy. From shutting down the regions / indies, to changing the style of match booking and writing to the way Vince has always treated the business, I have always been anti McMahon.
I dont use I-products either out of principle after learning the details of the Steve Jobs / Bill gates split.

To be fair, the WCW DVDs lately have been very complimentary of the product. They're usually hosted by a familiar WCW personality (DDP for the Nitro DVDs, and Dusty Rhodes for the Clash Of The Champions set), and really put over WCW's history.

I hate "Holy Shit" and "This is Awesome" chants.... ugh.
Look, I don't really want to see Taker back. I think he deserves to ride off into the sunset. If he did come back there would at least be some ambiguity as to who would win the match, now that the pressure of the streak is gone. Though having him lose to Sting would sort of undo a lot of the good that Brock could do with this rub.

from lordsofpain.net who copied it from the observer newsletter
Sting has indeed signed a deal with WWE. There's no word yet on details regarding what role he will play but he is scheduled to be on TV, but not right away.
It's said that the deal has been close to being done for a while but now it has been signed. Sting's assumption was that he would work with The Undertaker, which many expected, but that's up in the air with Taker's future now in question.
The deal includes Sting being on television, but whether that’s as a regular character or just to build for one match at next year’s WrestleMania, that isn’t clear. He obviously won't be a full-time wrestler

Well, I guess Sting realized that companies, like people, can change. WWE is not the sex, drugs, rock'n'roll, and more sex and drugs company they used to be.

Sting can renew his feud with Christian Cage.

I'm not bothered by Sting coming in at all. As long as he's not a full time talent? I'm okay with it. A few big matches here and there, a DVD, a Hall of Fame nod? All for it. It's if he turns into a frequent squasher of young guys or starts winning titles that I'm uneasy about it. And I do most certainly fear a title run.

I am betting on one to three (TOPS) matches. The DVD is the big payoff for me.

If WrestleMania XXX was indeed Undertaker's last match like many are speculating, then I have no idea who would be a good fit for Sting to work with. That's the only program that really makes any sense for him in the WWE, since Taker is one of the only few wrestlers left from the same era that fans wanted to see matchup.
WWE is clearly smart enough to not utilize Sting as a full-time wrestler. TNA made a huge mistake in overexposing him, thus making his diminishing his starpower as an attraction. While he is far past his prime, he definitely does need to have one or a few matches in this run, otherwise he just comes across as some random old guy to WWE fans that have never seen him before.
And it would be an absolute shame if Sting's final matches were those god-awful, overbooked messes he had with Magnus and EC3 in TNA.

Don't worry I'm sure any of the other once a year guys would be cool working sting. HHH, Rock, maybe even HBK comes out of retirement for a "dream" match.Slayer wrote:If WrestleMania XXX was indeed Undertaker's last match like many are speculating, then I have no idea who would be a good fit for Sting to work with.
