I'm going to go out on a limb here and since HHH won and Rollins is champion, the Authority's true reign of terror is imminent. I think Sting v. HHH at SummerSlam with a power control stipulation on the line is a real possibility.
I also could see Sting, Reigns, Ziggler, Orton, Cena v. HHH, Rollins, Sheamus, Kane, Big Show at Survivor Series this year (maybe War Games) to finally end the Authority?

Surely he signed well enough knowing where everything was headed. He didn't get screwed. Don't be ridiculous. This. His whole contract was constructed around this match. People who think he was screwed over are being over the top. I was very surprised Sting didn't win, it seemed he would. I see the point they were projecting and drawing parallels of WCW Vs WWE. Also, HHH was one of the guys he WANTED to work with. Sting got an epic entrance. The crowd behind him and a nostalgic feel. I'm okay with the outcome.

Unless HHH comes out tonight and calls Sting an idiot for shaking his hand etc etc etc? I don't see where this can go.
Also I don't think anybody thinks Sting got legit screwed over here. He had to be totally OK with this....but unless this is part of some HUGE storyline development? I cant see the point in it.
that's what people are moaning about and they are 100% entitled to do so.

Sadly, this is the only thing that will restore credibility to Sting in the WWE. I highly doubt he would let it happen and honestly it shouldnt but WWE & Triple H did exactly what they wanted to do, they made the biggest name in WCW History look like a schmuck. That would be the literal worst scenario to happen.

Vince comes out and demeans Stephanie and Triple H for their comments at WrestleMania. They don't own the people and all that. Says since Triple H shook Sting's hand then they must be on good terms. Then let's see how well you work together. Vince names Sting the new GM to balance out the evil Authority.
Not saying I want it to happen but I could see it happening.

The outcome only makes sense if the Sting/Triple H feud continues. If Sting doesn't ever show up again when Triple H is abusing his power, then this entire thin was for nothing and it accomplished nothing. Shaking Sting's hand and then burying him an hour later didn't make any sense. Shaking Sting's hand and ending the feud only make sense if Triple H ends the authority and turns face....otherwise Sting should either A) Continue to go after Triple H, or B) Like I said this whole thing was for nothing and accomplished nothing and the only purpose that this served was WWE putting the screws to the one WCW guy they never managed to get. Last night was basically Sting being ok with the fact that Triple H cheated, had 4 guys interfere on his behalf, and then crack him in the head with a sledgehammer....why would Sting shake his hand? In kayfabe and in real life, nothing that happened last night made sense. Like I said, it was basically just WWE reenacting themselves winning the Monday Night War at Sting's expense. Stuff like this was exactly what he was worried about for 14 years and I don't understand how he agreed to that.

Lorenzo Alcazar You know I actually for some reason forgot the handshake. I do agree that made 0 sense, especially after HHH came out again and cut a hell promo on him. Idk the fan in me Is hoping Sting does 4 more matches, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble then a retirement match and HOF at Mania 32. I guess we shall find out something tonight.

The match was better than it had any right to be. My main question is what in the hell happened to hhh's leg last night? Surely i'm not the only one who saw that huge-ass bruise that went from his butt down his thigh.

I didn't see the point in a UT match before and I really don't see the point now. Sting is beaten......cannot understand this decision for the life of me. Maybe it will make perfect sense on Raw tonight? But I doubt it. I never really understood why everyone wanted Sting vs Taker so bad either. That is, until last night. My brother said something that made me see it. Basically what he said was that they are the same character. Not in the sense that Sting is a dead guy that makes the lights go out and fun stuff like that, or that Taker carrys a baseball bat and rights all the wrongs, but real character. Undertaker is a guy that has remained loyal to WWE since coming there, over time he became a leader of sorts for the other performers, basically Taker is WWE. Then when you look at Sting, his story is the same for WCW, he was loyal his entire run, and basically is WCW. Now I am with everyone else in wanting this match to happen.

Vince McMahon said on the conference call today that he brought Sting out of obscurity and made him an attraction. I think that explains the booking last night.

Yeah I doubt Sting even looked at a contract without having this entire feud mapped out; if he didn't want to lose, he wouldn't have.
Honestly I just wanna see next year having both Sting and Taker get inducted into the Hall Of Fame and thats it

I think you downplayed Sting there, he's an Icon who is more over and has more presence than Seth EVER will. I wouldn't call him mediocre on the mic either, he's slightly above average to me, but to each his own. Yes he is indeed 56, but at least he's a bonafide main event player. Seth is just playing one on TV.

Seth is just playing one on TV. I grew up on Sting in TNA and from what I've seen, he's really not that great in the mic. And of course Seth isn't a "main eventer" his singles career has barely started and Sting has been wrestling for over 20 years.

sting makes an appearance tonight. then he's done. he said recently that this was it for him, and that MAYBE if they ask him to do something at survivor series or WM32 he would be open to it.

Also, another shot at Sting....when he made his entrance, Lilian Garcia never even announced him. And the commentators talked crap about him the entire match. They said he was just as much to blame for trying to put WWE out of business as WCW was. This was the first time any of the announcers had said anything negative about Sting. The entire feud he was "a vigilante" who was trying to make sure that justice was done and that power was not abused, but at Wrestlemania he was just a guy from a company that tried to put WWE out of business.

Stuff like this was exactly what he was worried about for 14 years and I don't understand how he agreed to that. It took a Pedigree, a Sweet Chin Music, and a Sledgehammer to beat Sting. Sting did not look weak. The handshake was an act of respect. It has nothing to do with picking sides. Nerd alert, but in the X-Men movies, just because Xavier plays chess with Magneto, it doesn't mean Professor X is happy with Eric's viewpoint. It's an act of respect as in "I underestimated you completely, Sting." I do agree with the idea that they changed gameplans midway. The last few weeks was all about the Authority being corrupt with power. The match is about WCW and WWE. Something was changed as one part of the storyline was brutally ignored.
