Paid Members Benno Posted November 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2014 3) Sting's debut was completely spoiled by the graphic on the WWE Network replay. I know his debut was leaked, but it completely took away the will-he-won't-he factor, and I'm sure it did for many others too. Â Â Yikes. If I hadn't stayed up and avoided Twitter & Facebook all day and got home to that, I'd be fucking fuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted November 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2014 Why do they keep fucking with iconic themes? Part of the fantasy appeal of seeing him show up in WWE, was to hear that music while it's happening. Still a great moment, but considering I got goosebumps just from a 30 second promo that he was going to be a character in a game not too long ago, him actually showing up didn't live up to the way I've dreamed about it for the last decade. Â And that's not down to unrealistic expectations or anything, it's down to WWE's pointless tinkering. I'm not sure what their thought process behind it was, "Okay, the fans want Sting, exactly like he was in WCW, so we're going to book him like it's 1997 again... But surely they'll want a modern theme, though! Johnston! Knock one up for us when you get a spare minute, 'dark and brooding' should do. Cheers!" At least they waited a few weeks before butchering Goldberg's in 2003 and let him debut with the one everyone knew. Â I feel for Ryback, yet again. The Rusev table spot should have been on him leading to a double count-out. Â tiger_rick, on 24 Nov 2014 - 10:51 AM, said: I'd love to see them utilise Triple H as a full time wrestler now. Â Same. I got my hopes up earlier this year when he wrestled three PPVs in a row that he'd be back competing semi-regularly. I'm well up for seeing him against anyone that isn't Orton or Lesnar.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted November 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2014 WWE is totally slipping on the stuff people actually want from their wrestlers. I loved it, dont get me wrong, but if this was the early-to-mid-2000s, there would be so much more attention to detail. Fans like the old themes, and they like the customs. They could have easily made a replica of his Starcade 97 gear instead of his t-shirts and tarted up jeans. When KISS got back together, they never wore the old suits from the 70s. They got it re-designed with a new shine on it. Sting always had that luxury that his most famous run and match had him covered up to the neck in a bodysuit. Should have worn that or at least a version of it. Â But fuck it. I'm not complaining. I once saw Sting wrestle Bobby Roode in blue boots and a white t-shirt. I've developed low standards for Sting. And you cant do much with the Berbatov hair. Old blokes dying their hair black is very risky. There's a risk he could have ended up looking like a Roy Wood. Â See much better with the crow theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idlTIYINLOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 They compressed the original six-month Ryback build and fuck up into a one month slot. Brilliant work!  Main event was a cracker, aside from what looks like more Cena vs Big Show coming. Ziggler looked great, Harper and Rowan looked great, and it was full of thrills and spills.  I was a bit underwhelmed by Sting as well, but mostly because I wish it had been a surprise. I was never a WCW guy, either, so I was never going to be jumping for joy unless they did something really smart with the entrance.  Ambrose vs Wyatt was good, too. Their match was very unique to them, which was nice. Solid brawl.  Just watched that video with the proper theme dubbed in -- that would have been perfect!   Dting Dting Dting then Dting. Go on then, you're dying for someone to ask.  It was all the rage in the RSPW days, no doubt. Because the S and D keys are next to each other, lol!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members FLips Posted November 24, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 24, 2014 That Crow theme dubbed in is EXACTLY what should have happened. It's actually quite pathetic at how good WWE are at missing the target completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Mask V Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Nobody gives a fuck what colour Sting's hair is.....the fact is he has made his WWE debut and its the biggest thing thats happened in wrestling for years! Â I agree with Slapnuts, WWE have got me hooked on their product at the moment...and they are going to have a great few months leading to Mania.
