Sting's Heel Turn

[JurassicBonez]

I've never really been a Sting fan. I didn't watch WCW so besides dvds, youtube, and what I read online. If he left, I honestly wouldn't care. When he takes his leaves and comes back, it's like "OH YEAH!! Sting's back." It's just "oh he's back. I forgot he was here."

But that feeling changed when he made his previous return. He came back and turned heel. And I for one thought it was awesome. He was kick ass, fuck authority bad ass. This was nothing like his heel/tweener run during the MEM. For once, Sting caught my attention and I was intrigued at what he would do next.

But that has all changed. With him rarely appearing on the show, I lost interest in him in. People were questioning him yet no answers. TNA hyped that Hogan would call out Sting and the closing segment of that episode left me scratching my head. After 10 minutes of talking, we still didn't know anything we didn't know before. The Sting/Jarrett could have meant alot more, Sting taking Jarrett out could have been alot more. I'm disappointed all together how this has played out.

What are your thoughts on Sting's heel turn?

The fact that 3 months into it we still dont know why he turned speaks volume of the entire heel run

Yeah that's the thing I think that's making it worse. Even if it's a lazy excuse, at least give one. They keep putting all this hype into why he turned, but yet still no answers.

CMS, did you see that episode where they hyped up the entire thing on Hogan calling him out, only for no answers to be given?

I have always loved Sting, so I honestly am liking his heel turn. It is somewhat reminiscant of his inital change in wCw from his blonde haired surfer character to the darker crow type character fron what I can remember.

When he first transformed into the Crow it was somewhat similar to how he is now, not always being there and not saying anything. Which I think is making for an interesting build up for him eventually explaining everything.

i dont know ive always liked sting but tna has turned him ( like they do with alot of there talent ) so much that im kind of over him now. sting i think makes a better face not really feeling this heel run we dont even know why he did it. i just thing tna needs to plan things like this out better in advance.

Yeah I saw it. Quite frankly I don't know if the lack of explanation is something intentional or they actually think fans know why he turned. If it's intentional, they are not doing a good job keeping it in the minds of fans.

Besides, even if Hogan would have gotten an answer out of Sting in that show, it would have been 3 months after he actually turned. They should have explained it two weeks max after the turn.

The thing about this heel turn is they have overplayed it so much. Really it would only make sense for him to turn heel on Hogan and say that he has always hated Hogan. Since they had a year long rivalry in 1997, he could have said it time he gets his pay back.

Its a really big turn off when you hear Jeff Jarrett keep saying "Why did you go to the dark side?!?!?!".......Hes not Anakin Skywalker, he just doesn't like Hulk Hogan.

But the biggest turn off about this heel run is Sting is out of shape and doesn't really seem to care about wrestling anymore. He keeps getting pushed and I believe he is still the highest paid member on the roster and for him to not take care of his body is ridiculous. I would just put Sting in a feud with younger talent such as Desmond Wolfe, Rob Terry, D'Angelo Dinero, and put them all over.

I'm not sure when his contract is up but when it finally is I would promote the shit out his last match by saying it will be his retirement match. TNA is in finacial trouble so not re-signing Sting would only be the best thing for the company, hopefully its up in November so he can have his last match at BFG.

This willl lead to a Career on the Line match with Hulk Hogan, or to make it even more mind bloggling, against Ric Flair
