Slapnuts Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 The bat is in no way important for me. I don't for, one second, expect to see WCW's Sting in the WWE. I think we should see this as the next evolution of Sting. That's why new music for him doesn't bother me. For me, the bat was only brought into existence due to the numbers game he was facing against the NWO so not bringing the bat to Survivor Series makes sense. Plus he's a babyface and HHH is the heel. A babyface has no business bringing a weapon out against an "unarmed" heel. It's wrong booking and the kids would've seen Sting as weak straight of the bat (Pun not intended). It's just the lighting dammit! I really wish they'd have just turned the lights off, haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slapnuts Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Lights out is Bray Wyatt's thing. Â I've never associated "lights out" with any one superstar. Batista has had lights out ever since that "I quit" promo, Jericho has lights out for his countdown, even Miz has lights out for his "can we please have quiet on the set" bit (Off Topic but is that bit of Miz's tron lifted from Hollywood Rock era's tron by the way?) Are lights out for Evil Kane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glass Smash Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Can you imagine if we were to get Taker V Sting at Mania? It would take up at least 30 mins just for them both to walk out to the ring inside the Levi's stadium. Getting back to Survivor Series I was disappointed he didn't grab the mic and sing a bit of Roxanne for us.

Glass Smash Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I actually liked his debut appearance and music. But I think it could've been a little better if they had played a longer intro vid with some weird cryptic shit instead of showing his face almost straight away on the big screen.

King Pitcos Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm guessing that spending your Tuesday afternoon posting things giving away what happened and didn't happen on Raw outside of the Raw thread -- before everyone's seen Raw -- is going to get you banned if you carry on.

Glass Smash Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Agreed. That's why I avoid the Raw thread until I've watched it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 According to PWInsider  - Sting has signed a performers contract with WWE but there's no word yet on how long it's for or what the details are.  As noted, Sting reportedly didn't get the call to come in until Thursday. Sting is not expected to work any WWE live events and will likely work very few TV tapings. We noted yesterday that there's talk now of wrestling more than one match but not many more than that.  Part of WWE's plan with Sting will be to tease him a lot until he's needed for a big event.

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted November 25, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 25, 2014 I really liked Sting's promos when he played the Joker character in TNA, hopefully he gets time to let loose.  Can’t say I rated them. Was a 50-odd year old doing a bad Joker impression for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
