Vamp Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I can't remember when I last bought a DVD but I'd probably get a sting career one. Â Actually if I'm honest a sting match would probably make me buy wrestlemania more than a lot of things but I'd imagine I'm in the minority there.

Paid Members eugenespeed Posted January 29, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'd happily wake up in the morning to the news that I am completely wrong, but even at this moment, I still can't see Sting ever working for Vince McMahon.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 29, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'd be made up even if Sting was shown in the rafters during a segment. Really happy that he's finally sacking TNA and joining the big leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylin_and_Profilin Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Was discussing that with a work colleague yesterday. If, and it's still a big if, he does come to WWE would all that be a no-go zone with what happened to Owen Hart? Or is it fair cop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 29, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2014 Who knows. I imagine Sting dropping from the rafter is a big no-no, but him overlooking the action from high up isn't all that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Total Package Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Well I'm not sure about this, as Sting rumours have happened many times before. However, if it does actually happen, it will be the most excited I've been for someone coming in since Goldberg. Â Since it would be hard to keep it a secret. I would like to see some really cool teaser promos, like they did with Taker in the cabin vs HBK's chin, remember all the fuss that caused? It would be just great to see Sting in the big time again.

Â Rumour went round that those promos were intended for Sting as they were talking to him at the time, then if things didn't work they would switch them to being Undertaker. Everyone got excited about it once the first one aired because there was nothing to suggest it was Undertaker. Â Has there ever been some kind of copyright claim against Sting, WCW or whoever with regards to the use of The Crow gimmick? Sting has been essentially ripping it off since 1997, surely there somekind of breach of intellectual property Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The British Bushwacker Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 They could always do some kind of dealy at Mania where say Taker has won his match(vs Lesnar) but he's getting beat down after the match, have the lights go out and Sting & a ball bat make a save and could plant a seed for the following year's Mania with Taker basically saying he didn't need Sting's help or something along those lines.

Everyone got excited about it once the first one aired because there was nothing to suggest it was Undertaker. Has there ever been some kind of copyright claim against Sting, WCW or whoever with regards to the use of The Crow gimmick? Sting has been essentially ripping it off since 1997, surely there somekind of breach of intellectual property  I didn't know about that, well I knew they were talking, but I didn't know how they set that teaser up to go either way.  Never heard of Sting, or the companies he wrestled for getting into any trouble about The Crow gimmick, while it's an obvious rip-off, it's still different enough not be an exact clone. It's not like The Crow is popular on a Spiderman kind of level either, it was cult hit in both comic and movie form. The Crow franchise has been run into the ground after the first film, If anything apart from the first film and original comic, Sting's gimmick is the best thing to come out of it. Still they could sue if they wanted, I don't think WWE will have to worry about anything though. TBH, I think Sting in that 1997 era draws from The Crow and Batman.  It's not clear what is going on with the card for WM right now. Maybe they will save Sting for the RAW after like they did with Goldberg and Brock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 29, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted January 29, 2014 I didn't know about that, well I knew they were talking, but I didn't know how they set that teaser up to go either way. They didn't. The story goes, they set up the promos intended for the Undertaker. They weren't even talking to Sting at that point. They only talked to Sting afterwards and he was deep in negotiations with TNA by that point. There was little chance of Sting coming in that year. They were never knocking Triple H vs The Undertaker off for Sting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad it never happened, but tbf we also ended up getting Sting/Hogan that year, which I enjoyed more than TripleH/Taker. Not that their match was crap, both good matches, just enjoyed Sting/Hogan more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I say, look at that first vignette, you can see why people got the impression that it could have been Sting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Feinstein reckons Sting is going to be this years Lesnar. They're going to hold off on him till the night after Mania, apparently. He thinks its a year part time, with only a few matches written in, finishing at next years Mania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
