Major WWE Signing

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Guess this answers the question "who's gonna be replacing Vickie on Smackdown?".

I just can't see it. Sting holds out going to WWE for this many years but he is going to sell out to become Smackdown GM? Not buying it. Of course I've been wrong before (jk jk I probably haven't).

I'll wait until he appears on WWE television or confirms it himself in an interview or something before I believe it. That said, 2014 is long past the point where I care to see Sting in a prolonged role in WWE, so I find it hard to be excited about this either way. A few matches I can live with, but I hope he doesn't have a big role on-screen as an authority figure/general manager or something. Sting was at his most interesting when he wasn't talking (i.e. Crow Sting), so I've got no interest in seeing him in a role that involves him doing a lot of it.

Except Vickie didn't leave (yet)

Crow Sting was an amazing gimmick (right place right time) but its incredibly unfair to paint Sting as a bad talker and just use the cherry picked fact that Sting was best when he wasn't talking. Sting is versatile and entertaining on the stick.

I don't know, I'll wait for him to debut. I am pretty curious about how he'll be used if he does sign, though.

Authority figure?? just imagine him all suited up doing similar to what kane done last few months. Dont think they would though who knows.

Thought this said @Majour WWE signing.

I wish!
As for Sting, I never became a fan of his when I was younger. I don't really care if he signs as long as his angle isn't terrible.

[Aids Johnson]

his position is great for the network (although Kevin Nah would have been goat) but more importantly it keeps him in a suit for the year leading up to him vs taker. Let's be serious, they could announce it on smackdown before RAW and we would all mark. If sting loses the weight, and comes down from the rafters after Undertaker comes out in 10+ minutes, we still have a huge match, mostly based on chilhood heroes.

 

[Nero_x3]

They should actually sign him and have him do a DVD or something to air on the Network, makes the most sense in my opinion.

Just like Paiges debut was the end all - be all right? ity2:

 

[Farooq]

Hope Sting comes out and beats up Brock Lesanr, then beats the shit outta Paige with his bat, then takes out all the champions and reforms WCW with all the belts.

I actually agree with her slightly in this instance. I don't dislike Sting or anything, but I feel some people do tend to make him out to be a bigger deal than he is. People really overestimate how big of a splash his debut in WWE would be, especially at the elderly age of 55 years old. He's a legend because of how long he's been around in the business, not because he had some type of huge impact on the industry in terms of drawing money. In fact, about the only time he really drew significant money was during the NWO angle, and he obviously wasn't the lone attraction in that. (And no, I don't judge the quality of a performer based on how many tickets he sells, but I'm striving for objectivity here.)
