Good question: Who has Sting put over?

Sting is not god, he was a decent wrestler for his whole career who happened to have a couple of really good matches with Ric Flair but since then has not been involved in anything major himself. He has leached his name off onto other big things. His wrestling career is still solely based on his matches with Flair and his time spent in the NWO. Other than that, Sting isn't really anything major. People say Hogan was right place right time? No where NEAR compared to Sting. And even in modern days, Sting is like a lesser version of Ric. Ric had the good sense to get out when he knew it was time to get out. For the last few months leading up to Wrestlemania, Ric really wasn't putting on outstanding matches but pulled one of the best match he's had in ages, arguably in his career out on his last match. That is the way to go. There is no way Sting can have that kind of retirement match. Why? Because no one really cares THAT much when the Stinger retires. The man who could really give him a retirement match he deserves has already had the best send off possible and to **** on that would be a travesty. Sting is not god, he's the object of a fantastic wrestler in Ric Flair and the bi-product of the biggest thing WCW ever did being the NWO. Granted Sting used to be able to hold his own in the ring but the only classic matches he has ever had were against Naitch. And now everyone seems to think the entire wrestling industry owes Sting a favor but the way I see it, it's only because he's still hanging around. Sting needs to either start building some talent with the name value he has and stop leaching off the wrestling business or just retire altogether. I am sure that people like Kurt Angle, Booker T, Kevin Nash and the like have a big enough name that they can rub off on some of the younger talent.

You don't understand what "putting over" means, do you?

Sting can still draw without the belt. Are people more likely to go see a TNA event because Sting is the champion, than they would be if someone else was the champion? NO! That's the entire point, which you clearly have just decided to blindly overlook.

Putting over guys is a time-honored tradition in pro wrestling. Something that helps to cement your legacy, in fact. When your career is nearing its end, you do your best to help guide the younger guys into taking your place for the future, when the company will need new guys to draw.

... Not to mention, it's not like Sting is some amazing draw. He doesn't even work house shows! If he was the only draw TNA has, like you're making it out to be, TNA would be closed right now.

The guy is WELL past his prime, his "mystique" is completely gone, he can't keep up with the top young guys in the ring, and he's way overpaid for what he does.

Your shoulders don't have to be pinned to the mat to put someone over in essence. If you make the guy look good, they can get over just fine.
