I don't really want to see Sting win the title, but why not. Dumber things have happened. They booked themselves into a corner with his loss at WM.

I know its already been complained about, but turning it into a WCW vs WWE thing was also really irritating. One of his main messages when he returned was "its not about WCW.. blah blah blah..." Really, it was the only booking decision I had a problem with for 31.

They should have given him a win afterwards at least over HHH or someone.

Lol wait what? Ew. Why would they put the World Heavyweight Championship on a 56 year old man? Continuity/Realistically speaking Sting, a 56 year old man couldn't beat Triple H, a man 10 years younger than him... how does it make any sense whatsoever for Sting to beat a guy not even in his 30's that is at the athletic peak of his career? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Sting should not be able to believably beat anyone outside of maybe The Undertaker...

I'm pretty sure he will be used as a way to get the Title on Sheamus.

As someone who has been a Sting fan since he first showed up in the NWA I would love to see him have one last US title reign. But I don't need to see him have a WWE World Heavywight title reign...it would be nice but I don't need to see it. Maybe if the titles were split still I would love a last World title run. That said Seth needs to keep the WWE World Heavywight title. He doesn't need to win cleanly because that is not how his character is being played. If he was a face champion sure, but he has been the weasel champion who will do anything and everything to win since winning it at WM. And he has been playing it perfectly.

Uhh... no. Seth Rollins needs to win cleanly because he has yet to have a clean title defense and he's not a 50 year old man on his retirement tour. Seth has been booked like crap. I'm not saying sting should beat him but I dont think his stock would be any lower than it is now if he did loose.

I'm not so sure about this but they can't have Sting losing again. WWE screwing themselves over once again.

Sting will not get a title reign, even if he does win. Sheamus will undoubtedly cash-in straight after the match. Regardless, Sting will not be beating Rollins at Night of Champions. Why would you end the reign of your hottest star for a man nearly 60 years-old and almost 20 years past his prime? Neither man would benefit from Sting becoming champion.
I think WWE is on to something here that everybody seems to have forgotten - they're building Sting to face The Undertaker. We keep hearing that they made the wrong decision to have him lose at WrestleMania and that he can't lose to Rollins in order to save face, but what if he was built this way on purpose? A portion of the WWE has no idea of his past or his history and therefore aren't invested in him as much as others - they don't care that he's lost his only matches in a WWE ring and to them he hasn't proved himself just yet. Sting will portray himself as someone desperate to prove himself and leave his mark in WWE after doing the same in WCW. Coming off the loss at NOC Sting can then pursue one more opponent to prove his point - The Undertaker. No doubt WWE will use the final Brock/Taker encounter to sell a pay-per-view prior to WrestleMania, thus freeing up Undertaker to face Sting at WrestleMania.

I agree with those who say neither man can afford the loss. Would be bad if Sting went 0-2, but I think the loss would hurt Rollins even more. Weighing up the pros and cons of each mans victory, IMO Rollins absolutely has to beat Sting. It would look bad on him to lose to a man double his age and plus the win would give him the bigger rub. Rollins is one of the men the company will be built round in years to come, not Sting, so he has to win. And win clean.

Why would I pay money to see a 56 year old man as the top champion of the number 1 wrestling promotion in the world? Where is the value in that? Hogan wasn't in his 50's when he had his nostalgia run with the title. Ship has sailed for me even being passively interested in Sting as champion.

He's far more entertaining at 56 than nearly anyone else in the roster is. I say give him the title, because it will be awesome.

no. rollins cant lose. rollins shouldnt lose to anyone not named bryan, ambrose or [gulp...] reigns. and sheamus should fail at cashing in mitb, just to give it the illusion that its possible.Sandow absolutely shined in that match and was rewarded with 2 years of crap.

People hated when Brock held the belt and never showed up. Can a 56 year old man handle the schedule that you all wanted Brock to be partaking in? Or is that just another double standard. What was crap when Brock did it is awesome when Sting does it.

I honestly don't care who wins. Sting and Rollins squaring off is pretty much a dream scenario for me and I'm just glad it's happening at all.
On one hand, it would be really cool to see Sting win the WWE Title. On the other, Rollins is just coming off pretty much the hottest moment of his title reign to date and looks like a million bucks. Plus, Sting needs to save face in this match if anything he does beyond NOCs, like WM32, is going to matter. I'm honestly looking for Sting to win by DQ or we get some kind of interference type of ending.
The only situation I absolutely DO NOT want to occur is Sheamus cashing in MITB. As long as that doesn't happen, I'll be totally happy with whatever WWE decides to do with Sting vs Rollins.

If TNA or WCW would put a 56 year old man over their first time under 30 year old World Champion, the world would lose their minds. Now there's a thread that wants WWE to do it?
No, Sting should not win the WWE Title. Seth Rollins is the WWE Champion. I've wanted this since I first saw him in 2007 (I know Sting fans have waited longer, but that's Sting's fault for spending so many years in TNA).
People bitch that the WWE has to rely on part-timers because they don't have any viable stars and things like this are why. There is no need for way past their prime guys to beat the top guy in the company.

It would be nice to see Sting with the title. But I think those days are long gone. He waited too long. If he somehow/someway did win the title, it'd be short lived. Next night rematch or Sheamus cashing in type of scenario.
If you've watched Sting throughout his career, he never had an issue with losing. Back in the 90's he lost so many matches he should have won. Never really defeated Vader either. Towards his last year or so in TNA he was putting over some of their younger guys too. Not to mention for years he talked about coming in to lose to Taker at WM. So I think Sting could go 0-5 and still be happy with his time in WWE.
At 56 years old, I highly doubt Sting expected to rack up victories. I think this is more of a swan song run before he walks away for good.

Regardless of the outcome. I'm more disturbed Sheamus will probably champion in the near future. Him winning MITB was such a waste of time.
