So no one really has watched TNA. Look at RVDs TNA debut. Beat Sting in ten seconds. If you think losing to Triple H at Wrestlemania due to cheating or being in the title picture against the top heel in the company is worse even close to that level of badness, you're a damn fool. I like TNA, but that was really the small pond though. Wrestlemania is supposed to be the grand stage-and the one that everyone was anticipating Sting showing up to one day....this was 'the moment' where Sting finally showed his panted face in the WWE...for him to just lose and to Triple H another semi-retired guy, not even a young up and coming talent was really anti-climactic. It's kind of like everyone packing the theaters in December for the new Star Wars movie instead just getting a big Rick Roll on the screen.

People are failing to realize that if sting was really that un happy none of this would be going down I'm sure he has more say in what goes down then most wrestlers do . People are just mad bc sting isn't doing what they want him to be doing. I'm sure he's happy where he's at and what he's doing

That was one instance and RVD jumped him from behind. Sting was a multi-time TNA Champion, headlined countless of Bound for Glory's too. You're basically picking one single night of Sting's TNA career to compare to this.

Sting probably made more wrestling 1 match at WM than he did the last 10 years in TNA. Do you think the guy gives a ? He is in his mid 50s and knows his career is coming to an end so the dude is taking a couple fat checks to the bank before he does. People are looking too far into this. If Sting still felt the way he did, He wouldnt have joined WWE. plain and simple. The guy knew damn well what he was getting himself into when he signed the contract.

One thing people fail to see with Sting is this:
It was TNA.
Yeah, it's a smaller pond, but to me, I'd rather lose at WrestleMania than get beat in ten seconds on a TNA show.
Multiple time TNA Champion? Yeah. Because he spent 10 years there. 10 years of his career
I hope he wins the WWE Championship, but if you think he should come in and win multiple World Championships and headline multiple WrestleManias, it's like making up for lost time, you can't do that anymore.
If this was 2008-2011, I'd feel let down. It's 2015. He waited til the very end.

If people think Sting honestly cares about wins & losses, they are more than likely wrong. While we may not know what is going on in Sting's head, I seriously think he doesn't care. He doesn't really have any reason to care. I feel like this run was more for the fans than him. He knew people wanted him in WWE so before he rtires he gave the fans what they want. Though I doubt he made more money doing that Mania match than everything he made in TNA. From what has been reported, he was doing amazingly money wise in TNA.

He was a regular roster member, not a special attraction like he is now. Of course he could lose in ten seconds, heel in WWE Mr. Kennedy lost in six seconds to Super Crazy. Sting was a regular roster member of TNA so he wrestled and did angles like a regular roster member. Coming to WWE is lime a special attraction. Similar to Brock Lesnar. He doesn't wrestle all the time, but when he does the fans get excited. So I think all these "losing in ten seconds" comparisons are completely asinine. I feel like people don't know what they are talking about.

It happened
Sting walked out onto the ramp and looked into the eyes of the Universe that clamored every year for him to come where he belonged.
He set up a program with the COO, Triple H.
He attacked the Authority, looked strong going into the match.
He had his first WrestleMania moment, with a special entrance and all.
He lost with a sledgehammer shot by the Game
He goes missing, and returns to battle for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on PPV
If this were five years ago, no one would have time to complain. This would be unreal.
But yet everyone is disappointed. Sting isn't used weekly. He isn't wrestling. He lost his first match. It turned into WWF vs. WCW. He doesn't wear the coat and carry the bat. He talks too much. His hair is thin. "TNA used him better"
Sting was in TNA for TEN YEARS. In ten years, John Cena won 15 world titles. Ten years is a LONG time.
Stings days of wrestling week to week or even month to month are probably over, and they should be. He's winding it down.
In my opinion, TNA over exposed Sting. Now he's getting paid to do what he should have been paid to do in TNA, make a ton of money and make sporadic appearances to promote special matches.
I hope Sting wins the WWE Championship. It would be a true feel good moment.
But if you really think a small company that gave Sting multiple world titles and weekly matches is in any way comparable to the WWE era, you're missing how cool it is to finally see this.
At the next PPV, Sting is going for what was the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships. Let that sink in...
Don't compare TNA and it's sinking ship to this. This is special.

On a side note, if Sting wins, can you imagine the sight of seeing him with the WWE title and what was the WCW title on each arm if the belts weren't unified?

There are tons of sore spots and bad matches I could go through his ten years of TNA to use, but I don't really have to. Hell I could list a lot of bad WCW bookings of him too. Outside losing to Triple H, no one can really argue that he is being booked bad because he's been booked much much worse in the past. And saying that what he has done in WWE has tarnished his career is insanity,

I have enjoyed everything he has done in WWE and didn't have issue with him losing to Triple H. It made sense with the story they were telling, I feel. I just feel like if someone can't make the point they want to make, they just automatically crap on TNA even though they weren't involved in the discussion. And according to WWE, TNA doesn't exist. Sting went from WCW to WWE. I respect your opinion though and agree with what you said after you explained it better. I just hate how people will crap all over TNA for seemingly no reason at all.

I have no issues with TNA overall. I love some of their stuff like how Joe was pushed in the beginning and the Bully Ray run. Just saying he was booked poorly quite a few times there much worse than he's being booked now. Hell the only time anyone has gotten the upper hand on him in his WWE run was at the end of his only match. And that was due to Sledgehammer. Though the verbal blowing of Triple H was a bit ridiculous. Even though it's solely to plant more seeds to the eventual Hunter/Rollins fued.

I see nothing wrong with what Sting is doing or did so far in WWE.

It's really not that surprising. It sucks but it's typical WWE.

First of all, I'm not reading this bait & click article that requires ten pages of clicking?
Anyhow - I'm enjoying the Sting/Seth Rollins feud, and I totally expect Sting to lose... and I'm fine with it. Rollins will gain some much-needed credibility with old school fans with a victory over Sting, and Sting will headline (main event) a WWE show for the first time ever! I'm really looking forward to this match, regardless of the outcome....
I still have major issues with Sting losing to Hunter at 'Mania - and Sting would have a lot more momentum going into his title match if he'd just been booked to win at WrestleMania.
Also - if they truly are building to a Hunter/Rollins feud - it would have made MUCH more sense to have Sting beat Hunter at 'Mania - then have Seth defeat Sting - "Look Hunter, I beat Sting when you couldn't!"
I think it's fine that the Sting character has evolved & changed..... he'd been wearing the black trench coat since 1996.... IMO, there are so many guys wearing black these days, I kind of miss the "colorful" old days of the WWF.... the colorful Sting robes will make neat figures, anyway.... Sting's early (surfer) character was well known for being very colorful! It's a homage to his past to add some color to his attire!
I do wish he used the bat a little more, though....

It's 2015 and the main event of a PPV is a 30-year-old Crossfit guru vs. a 56-year-old man in makeup at a time where the talent pool is deep enough to start pushing new, ing talented guys to the main event.
