WWE NEWS: Report - Sting has signed with WWE

 

 

 

Wrestling star Sting (Steve Borden) has signed a contract with WWE, reports the Wrestling Observer.

 

The deal is reportedly not just a Legends Contract, but for a TV role. It remains to be seen what capacity Sting is used.

 

Sting, who has never worked for WWE in his career, had multiple conversations with WWE CEO Vince McMahon in recent years, but returned to TNA on his annual deal.

 

Sting was written off TNA television in January when he lost a "career" versus title match against Magnus.

 

Earlier this week, TNA officially removed Sting from their roster page.

Dr. Jerry Wiseman of The Examiner reports that Jeff Jarrett was involved in a physical altercation with 17 year old John Calvin, the son of IWA Mid-South promoter Ian Rotten, at Sunday night's IWA Mid-South event. The report is that Jarrett was upset about not receiving the amount of money he was promised. Apparently Jarrett was given half of his pay at the show and was promised that he would receive the rest in "two to three days." This led to Jarrett cussing out workers and either slapping Calvin's glasses off his head or breaking them.

 

Ian Rotten later said:

 

"Jeff and Karen Jarrett were both intoxicated. I have a locker room full of people to back me up on that."

 

One IWA wrestler, who asked not to be identified, stated that at one point, Jarrett was "out of control" while also being egged on by his wife Karen, who reportedly threatened to go to the ring and "expose" Rotten while Drake Younger was taking part in an interview.

 

Rotten also issued a statement through his Facebook page:

 

"So, I will address the 500 lb elephant in the room in full.

 

Jeff Jarrett was paid half of his money tonight and was told he would get the rest of it in 2 or 3 days as through one way or another, or just plain stupidity, we forgot to get the advance money out of PayPal. I know it sounds incredibly stupid, but it occurred. Am I embarrassed about it? Yes, but a very intoxicated Jeff Jarretts actions to follow would be absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for. INCLUDING knocking the glasses off of John Calvins face, taking said glasses, and for a time period threatening to not give them back and break them. Screaming at numerous people in the dressing room that it was their fault, they were behind it like some paranoid coked out raging idiot. Not saying he WAS coked out, but I will say he was drunk, him and Karen both and I have a locker room full of people that will back me up on it.

 

Jeff Jarrett will get his money in a couple days as promised, then he can spend it on a defense attorney as I will be going to the sheriffs department to swear a warrant out on him tomorrow for assault on a minor. This was not some wrestling angle or anything of that nature, and he had no right to take it out on anyone else but me. Don't get me wrong, I was wrong. We should have had that taken care of, but Jeffs actions after that along with Karen insisting on going out to the ring to interrupt Drakes speech was absolutely despicable. That is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

Haha, ohh that's brilliant.

 

 

So many random points to pull from this.

 

WFT Jeff? Why are you even farting in the same state as Ian Rotton? I mean, really?

Secondly... Fuck off Ian you fat pathetic shite finger. You knew Jeff's booking cost, but didn't pay him the full amount as it slipped your fat fuck mind to have enough funds?

Thirdly... Timing or what? I read that initially thinking, Ian you carny cunt, I bet Jeff wasn't anywhere near as bad as described and that this is some elaborate ploy to fuck Jeff over due to his new company starting up. Negative press. "Lets not pay him properly, exaggerate his anger, pretend he might be a coke head, he attacked a minor, the 'boys/pond dwellers' will back me up."

 

Then I thought, I hope he smashed his guitar over his fat fucking skull.

 

Whatever happened... Ger' up

In a "who's the scummier promoter and more likely to be lying" stakes, I think Ian Rotten wins every time. I'd back Jeff to be the wronged party here.

 

Edit: unless it's a work of course, to gather some potential rivalry between Jeff Wrestling and IWA

Dara o'brian has tweeted about feral devitt to progress wrestling to his 1.5 million followers. Not sure how to paste on my phone. Also noticed Diana vickers of X factor fame was in the audience for their last show.

What a fucking cunt. If I was Jeff I would have kicked off too. Ian Rotten is famous for fucking workers over on pay.
