[@lsdmolelekki]

In a perfect world, Sting would've ended the streak and retired.

[@Jameslawz]

We all know why he didn't get the match, Vince didn't want one of his Golden boys that he's spent his entire career building up to lose to an "outsider" like Sting who was the poster boy of a rival company. All that does is sends the message that WCW still has hope in this saga and puts over a WCW star over a WWE legend. Imagine what that would do to merchandise sales? Takers likeness and being at the end of his road, they wanted him to go out on a high (financially and reputation wise). Taker has been loyal to the company for years thus Vince wasn't worried he'd jump ship to any new promotion that may start up, whereas he was unsure with Sting. Sting also was collecting injuries which meant he couldn't use him and put him in the WWE fold of things, instead it just felt like the last WCW warrior taking on the giant that is the WWE. I am sure after a few works, Vince would have made Sting a WWE star, but in order to do that he had to break him down and all the WCW glitter with it and then rebuild/rebrand him. Vince doesn't make the matches FANS want to see, he protects his assets/wrestlers from depreciating in value which will cost him money.

I'll never forgive WWE and Triple H for how they handled sting when he finally joined. For never giving us sting versus The undertaker. We didn't want to see HHH with him. It was a rivalry no one wanted. Bunch of petty nonsense making it a point to bury as many WCW guys as they could. The Monday night wars were long over and they literally had one job with sting. But Triple H never can resist being the biggest egomaniac around. He absolutely should have lost that WrestleMania match to Sting. And you didn't need the stupid NWO reunion angle either. HHH didn't need any more wins. It's pretty well known that he has been the booker for any match he's been involved in in about the past 10 years or so

if they did sting vs undertaker I don't think fans would of been upset if sting lost and it would of really made up for the dumb decision to end takers streak in the first place. instead we got undertaker and Bray wyatt...who cares? also I agree Triple H was on the bottom of dream matches we wanted to see sting in when he finally got to wwe. Undertaker, The Rock, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold, even John Cena. all I would of rather seen wrestle sting at mania over Triple H. I will disagree about not needing dx and the nwo though. It was pretty obvious Trips and Sting weren't going to put out a wrestlemania quality match by themselves so they kind of needed those run ins to keep the match interesting and make it wrestlemania worthy. But Sting definitely should of beat triple h. if he wrestled taker no one would care if he lost. but triple h? fck off. just let him win his first fcking match then triple h can get his win back since his ego cleary needs it at a later PPV.

Finally THE STORY OF THE ICON STING THANKS ALOT WRESTLE WITH ANDY ,great work truly appreciateable and did amaizing documentary

[@BigDaddyJinx]

McMahon's decision to: - bury Sting at WM 31 - deny him the match of all matches with the Undertaker - deny him AGAIN the match of all matches with the Undertaker is why Sting waited as long as he did to get to the WWE in the first place. He knew the WWE would fuq his character, and he was proven right on more than one occasion. I don't blame him at all for going to AEW, who clearly know what to do with his character. McMahon would've had the buyrate to end all other buyrates ever if he had only chosen to put Sting and Taker in a match at WM (or pretty much any other PPV). They could've milked that storyline for well over a year to build as much hype as the world could stand and then delivered on it putting them in the ring for a match. Instead, he blew it all to Hell more than once. Vince is poison. His product has never been worse. Thousands are flocking to AEW now as a result. His buyrates are trash. His shows are plummeting. He needs to step the Hell down and let someone else steer the ship before he hits the cliff that we can all see ahead. If anything, AEW's popularity won't be as much their own doing as much as it would be Vince burying his own show so bad that AEW benefits by default. Not saying that AEW doesn't deliver the goods...but their rise to the top as a contender would be as a direct result of Vince's decisions that lead to his own product becoming all but unwatchable. It's like watching the waning years of WCW all over again, just under a different banner. I can't recall the last RAW or Smackdown I watched. It's been THAT long. From a man who used to cancel all other plans on those nights to be in front of his TV to watch it live. I've refused sex to watch RAW live (no, watching it in DVR isn't "the same thing" dear...). Now you couldn't pay me to watch a show. My bro got me to watch a couple episodes of AEW and now I'm watching that instead and it looks amazing.

the crow is my favorite movie character thats probably the reason why sting is one of my favorite wrestler

[@dancrews7769]

When Sting was with the Wolfpack, they were huge. There were red & black shirts & signs everywhere

[@loulou7194]

You're right. And the WCW ratings were better than WWF in August and September 1998 but the WWE network will never talk about it...

[@musicfan8493]

Yes! So true!

[@trevagraham1605]

Sting is the best to ever do it, and probably always will be!

[@ajtaylor8750]

Sting was one of the wrestlers who made me love TNA/IMPACT more than I should've and put on some of the best matches on that program. He's definitely on the Mt. Rushmore and I believe he could've had an iconic feud with the Undertaker in the early to mid 2000s if he wasn't signed to TNA and went to WWE.

[@MichaelThomas-decga]

Sting is, was & always be WCW! He never left! Never. The Icon is my favorite of all time.

[@Xjr555kid]

I always wandered why old school Surfer Sting and Ultimate Warrior had such similar face paint. Never knew they were a team.

Thanks for a GREAT retrospective of The Man Named STING

[@johnperez9358]

Worked for different companies and stood tall and he is still wrestling in AEW. The GOAT!

[@ClassicCityMinistry]

Sting was and is my favorite wrestler....i remember watching him when he first started...i was like 6 years old

[@anagaldamez6218]

STING knew that wwe wasn’t going to give him the spotlight he deserves, but he came to wwe due to fan popular demand.He didn’t let his fame go over his head, therefore he’s had an an amazing career path

[@rommelv75]

Thanks for putting this together...... Just loved it.......

Sting the only wrestling could turn heel and people still cheer for him in history in professional wrestling

[@anthonybrown4402]

Add stone cold steve austin and the road warriors to that list

[@steviecritiquenewby7874]

@@anthonybrown4402 Stone Cold he started as a heel stunning Steve Austin and WCW right before he became Stone Cold so I can't agree with that

[@williamcronshaw5262]

@@steviecritiquenewby7874 Pretty sure Sting was a heel in his very early days. And of course you have to establish yourself before fans will cheer you.

[@DawnYzaguirre-ct4hw]

Sting will always be number 1 in my book. When I think of watching WCW it was mainly because of Sting.

[@acaron20]

Ihope he gets the send off he deserves. AEW is catching WWE and fast. His wwe run was a let down. AEW hes been done right. Let Darby take his boots

[@wildcardvincent]

AEW has a better vision for long-time storytelling imo

[@Kraken160th]

They have to be careful with it. I didn't watch WCW. So to me its been 6 weeks of sting showing up and doing nothing. Last week he finally hit someone. But this week he's doing nothing again.

[@wildcardvincent]

@@Kraken160th After tonight I believe he'll do something with Darby, probably a tag team match against those guys that were bullying Darby, probably ending up on a full on retirement, but Idk, we'll just have to wait and see

[@stickstudios7551]

Sting was very old when he joined wwe , what do you expect from wwe to do with a 50yr old new comer

[@krosskross1221]

@@wildcardvincent What do you think WWE should've done? Give a random guy Sting's gimmick and let Sting past the torch to him? Sting, whether in WWE or AEW, can't wrestle a match like he used to. As far as I know the closest to someone of nearing his age pulling off a great match is Triple H and Goldberg, the latter whom have started having uninspiring matches lately. Sting put over Seth, and he main evented the PPV. He also had memorable mania moment as survivor series debut. Taker Vs Sting could've happened sure, but without the aura of Streak and with both men nearing their retirement age, you can't blame WWE for sleeping on that match. Besides, people really wanted full time young stars in high profile matches at Mania. So um, to hell if they do and to hell if they don't? Aew have handled Sting in the best and worst way possible. Passing the torch to Darby is great, but he have lost his mystic. In AEW he feels like American Badass in a Deadman suit. And let's admit, whom have benefitted in any way by this long tiring Taz Vs Darby feud?
