Night of Champions They wouldn't really do this... would they?

[Prince Bálor]

I'm about to watch this shit now, suggest t me what to watch and skip plz and thank you.

If you wanna cringe and LOL like never before, then watch the opening segment with Sting. It's so ridiculous. lol

Be sure to watch KO vs Cesaro and The Dudleyz vs The New Day. The New Day's pre-match promo was hilarious.

Rusev/DZ and Ryback/Show were both OK matches, but the thing with 'em is they keep spamming the crappy finish to Rusev/DZ and Ryback/Show/Miz saga should've already ended.

Everything else is pretty much skip-worthy.

Oh, and watch the closing segment.

 

[Trip in the Head]

Yeah, I'm on the "I hope they don't give the strap to Sting" bandwagon

You don't Charlotte bro? WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! We need her as a smiley.

I love Charlotte! I love Becky, Paige and Sasha, too. But, there was nothing even remotely good about the divas on this week's RAW.

Beat the clock challenges are often kind of lame. Sometimes, they can be cool but simply because they tried to make it seem like neither Charlotte nor Paige had a chance by having Becky win the first match so quickly, they fucked the whole thing over. I guess they thought that would be suspenseful... but what would have been better would have been having Becky set the mark to beat at about 10 minutes, have Paige in the second match not beat the clock and have Charlotte's match get really close to Becky's 10 minute mark and having her win maybe with about 10 seconds left on it.

The method they went with was just awful.

Oh and On topic,I agree that I could see them being stupid and giving Sting the belt to have Sheamus cash in. Honestly with some of the stuff they have pulled out last year and some of the REALLY bad Raw shows I would not be shocked. Not happy, but not shocked.

Couldn't do this with a simple "Agree/Disagree" thing.

I agree completely with the comments about the Divas Beat the Clock Challenge. They could have made it meaningful, but they fucked it up.

I'm going to have to disagree with most of you about the idea of having Sting go over Rollins (the idea of having Hunter cost Rollins the title actually makes it even more compelling), only to have Sheamus come out and cash in (I'd do it immediately, maybe have Rollins attack Sting immediately after their match, but that's not even necessary...not exactly a long shot to have Sting "worn ragged" during his match with Rollins...he is 50+) to win the title. That would set up a Rollins-HHH feud and a Sheamus-Sting title match at Hell in a Cell (or even at MSG). This is Sting's last run. He'll probably be inducted into the HOF in Dallas in April and it wouldn't be a bad thing to let the guy have one world title reign in WWE, even if it's a 15-minute title reign (although I wouldn't be opposed to him carrying it ultil HiaC personally).

I'd actually have no issue with Sting getting a short reign that lasted more than 15 minutes if they did it right. If he wrestled a few matches and won them, got the title shot, put on an excellent match (or at least a decent one) and then maybe held the title for a few weeks. That wouldn't bother me at all. I just think the backstory should be there to support the reign.

If Sting wins the title, it won't be bad for the belt. He's still Sting. I just think if they were to give him a last reign, that should have added some substance to it is all.

It's like with Flair, my favorite wrestler ever. One of his 16 recognized title reigns is Kevin Nash handing him the belt. It's stupid. It looks bad for Flair. It wouldn't really be the same since Sting is wrestling for the belt, it just seems so out of nowhere.

 

[Trip in the Head]

This is Sting's last run.

This is why I'm afraid I will be disappointed and Sting will win it

And I don't have an objection to what you're saying. If I were dream-booking WWE 2015, I wouldn't have it set up like they've set it up (hell, in my fantasy booking game, I had an Undertaker-Sting retirement match at Wrestlemania XXIX...which Sting lost.....but he's still an authority figure in the company), but, given the situation into which they've booked themselves, these were my thoughts.

It's just, as a fan, this wouldn't disappoint me.

Given how both Sasha and Charlotte own victories over Nikki, this whole Beat the Clock Challenge deal wasn't really necessary.
They could've either had a #1 contender's match between Sasha and Charlotte or could've rolled with it and had a triple-threat at SummerSlam.

You nailed it there. But also speaking of not being shocked, well, Rollins winning clean wouldn't really shock me. But, it would make me happy.

And if Rollins wins both matches clean, it'll make you REALLY happy

Oh, you know what I'm gonna do, brotherjackdude. 3:

I just want to clear the air here.... I'm not on the 'Don't let Sting win the WWE-WHC' bandwagon because LOL.

It's because how poorly he has been handled since coming to the E.

Sting should've gone over Hunter at Mania to begin with. But, instead, they had to make a joke out of his loss and have him shake his foe's hand after losing in a crappy way. Vince was probably like 'Hey, you're gonna put over HHH at Mania or there's no HOF for you, pal. Because WWE>WCW. Always and forever!'

What really makes me loathe this idea of Sting becoming the champ is because he ain't done diddly-squat in order to earn a championship match.
I get it, he's one of the GOAT, but they should've built him a bit, have him go through some competition first and then have him face Rollins.
This way, it just doesn't feel special. Sure, there's that feeling of 'Hey! It's Sting!', I mean, yeah, but why is he here? Especially after what went down at WM.

There's another thing I really hated on Raw and it's related to Sting, him kissing Hunter's ass was just ridiculous. Not his fault, though.
Don't get me wrong, I love HHH. But, why the hell would you be doing that, Sting? I mean, wake up, dude!
Forgive me for sounding like a broken record here, I'm tired of writing it for the bazillionth time, but it was really annoying watching/listening the opening segment and hear this guy talk about 'Rollins isn't half the man HHH is.' That's why you're here and gunning for the WWE-WHC?
As I've said before, HHH had his goons and a sledgehammer help him defeat Sting. You, Sting, are the so-called VIGILANTE and you're at peace with it? kthxbai

I, too, see the bigger picture behind this Rollins vs Sting match that is set to take place at Night of Champions.
HHH is the guy to trigger Seth's face turn and put him over. I mean, it was being hinted at the whole night on Raw, that Rollins was being positioned for a face turn.

It's obviously Sting's last run and they should make the most of it before the man rides off into the sunset...
So, I'll say this again. Knowing how lame WWE can get, it wouldn't shock me if they booked Sting to win, only to drop it to Sheamus a few minutes later.
Because LOL, it's what's best for business.

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

You could've posted that here, since it's related to Sting/Rollins, but anyhow...

Yeah my bad I noticed the thread after I posted but left the topic since this is actually drawing a discussion
