Major WWE Signing

[JC4Life37]

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.)

I must retort. From the perspective of subjectivity (and, let's be honest, beyond dollars and cents its all subjective... even though that is an argument in and of itself), Sting was great between '90 and '94 as he was the flag bearer for the 'upstart' WCW brand
The NWO angle was enhanced by the belief that Hogan had taken Sting's birthright from him without confrontation. Hogan conspired to turn Sting's fans against him and completely sh** on the five year investment Sting made with the WCW faithful
Sting rightly deserves the pedestal of saying 'no' to Vince McMahon. Sting is WCW. That company's 11 year run (as WCW) had him as their focal point, despite his increasing age and the mishandling of Goldberg's creative direction
He was never a great technician, he stunk on the mic and if his angle was sh**, then Sting was sh**. Great size, great charisma, great principles and the flag bearer for the only company to shank the federation.

It's funny how afraid he's been Vince would sink the Sting brand, when Borden has done a fine job doing that himself. At best, he was #1 in the #2 company (pre NWO WCW) yet at the same time being #2 or #3 when the company was #1 (during NWO)

I registered to say... Amen. Everything you said is correct.

And you know what? I believe that Sting feels the same thing you're saying; that he was a flag bearer of WCW and the brand. I also believe that's what he feels about his involvement with TNA. Which is why Hogan and Sting would not 'feud' like they did back in WCW. Different time, means mutual respect.

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

What the fuck? Have you even watched TNA, at all? I barely even watch much TNA, but I know he's worn a suit before.

Couldnt give a flying feck if he wore a tutu in tna, all my point was i just imagined a similar character to kane being done when the words authority figure was used by a previous poster but would WWE creative want to cast that type of role again so soon after changing kane back. shouldve maybe added that in first post. It was what image came into my head when read those words.
