Sting can still go, can he?? I guess you didn't watch Wrestlemania this year to see Sting blown up in the ring with Triple H, doing rest spots cause he was tired and looking like a haggard old man at the end of the match?? I am a huge Sting fan - but do I want to see him wrestle the WWE Champion in 2015?? No! I am also a huge HBK fan, do I want HBK to come back and wrestle at his age?? No! What WM is this? The only person getting blown up year after year and match after match is Undertaker. It was no 5 star match and Sting isnt wrestling like he was in his 20s. But for a guy in his mid 50s wrestling like he was in his 40s was pretty damn cool. Not to mention that what the match lacked in technical savvy, it made it for in entertainment value. Ahh that would be this year's Wrestlemania. The one that they had to have NWO and DX get involved cause the match would suck otherwise. And saying Sting being in his mid 50s wrestling like he was in his 40s isn't really a strong case in saying Sting isn't old. Sting is gonna be wrestling the 29 year old Seth Rollins in a few weeks. 29.... like half of Sting's age!! Sting is two times older than Seth and we are to believe that Sting is gonna still go and have an awesome match with Seth?? No freaking way!! Sting coming to the WWE is good for two reasons. Hall of Fame induction, and DVDs/Blu Rays on him. That's all we needed. Hell, he could have even been an acting GM for Raw to face off against The Authority. But no way should he be wrestling now at his age.

But no way should he be wrestling now at his age. The outside interference was nothing more than to add entertainment value. I would have preferred to see a one on one....but I understand what they were going for. Sting is old. I never said he wasnt. I simply said for a guy his age, he is defying the odds and is still more bankable than guys in their 30s. Would I believe that Sting could beat Rollins? Actually....yeah. Age isnt all that relevant. Sting has done a fantastic job over the years in order to build his character, much like Undertaker. Why UT is still believed to be a legit bad ass is for that reason.....branding. While I do not want Sting to defeat Rollins, I wouldnt think this was the worse loss of his career. A loss to Ambrose would be much worse to Rollins right now just because of where Ambrose is in his career.

At the end of the day I watch WWE for entertainment like many others and if Sting can still wrestle and entertain people then his age shouldn't be a question. Also hate me for saying but he is in much better shape than The Undertaker who is much younger than him.

Wrestling fans seem to overthink and nitpick stuff to such an extreme that they can't actually enjoy watching wrestling.
Here's how I view it. Wrestling is a show for kids when it comes down to it. I try to enjoy it as so. I don't really care about who should "go over" or "needs the win". I watch it for pure dumb entertainment. Sting on TV and wrestling for the title is a lot more entertaining than Rollins vs orton or Ambrose from the millionth time.

I thought he looked great at Mania. Loved the match until it became NAO vs NWO. Didn't need that.
And I do see Seth winning, because I think he has been killing it as the weasil heel Champion. But that said would I be disappointed or upset if Sting won the title? No, I wouldn't. It would be nice to see him finally be the WWE champion. Although I would rather see him have another run as US Champion or just World champion if the titles weren't unified.
This is professional wrestling where it doesn't need to be credible or believable. If it were believable Daniel Bryan should have never won the title at WM30. In no universe was it believable he could beat Triple H, Orton and Batista in one night. Nor if healthy should he have been main eventing and beating Brock at WM31 like 90% of this board was asking for.

The fact Sting isn't intimidating in stature or appearance (Doc Brown does Goth) Monday night Raw's segments with Sting were brilliant, kinda felt like his TNA joker bit but toned down and no silly facepaint.

Honestly, the moment I saw him dump the statue in the truck, I said to myself "holy crap, they're letting him do Joker Sting".
Which I'm totally fine with. Now, if only he had the bright red suit...

It's much better that Sting show some charisma. He's got plenty of it and there's lots of kids who've never seen him before.

If I watch the show alone I find myself picking the show apart and ulitimately not enjoying the show at all. The past 9 months ive been watching with a buddy of mine as a fan and not a critic and ive enjoyed the shows. People should really allow the writes to tell them a story rather than trying to write their own, no one writes to JK Rowling and tells her Harry should have died cause Voldermort needed the win coming off a 10 year absence.

Sting is my favorite wrestler.... Anyways here's a long post.
I thought the whole silent thing for last years mania was stupid especially when he challenged triple h. It looked weird in this era, especially when Sting spoke on the Raw after which lead me to wonder what the whole point of him being silent was for. The build up in my opinion could of been done better especially with today's technology, perhaps more theatrical. Actually, if they wanted to make us feel nostalgic they would of used the rafters for a segment and not that crap with the horrible Sting fakes. The mania match was alright until the DX segment, other than that I watched it because it's Sting. I like others, hated the ending but it was whatever really. NOW... As far the whole thing with Seth. I think it's been pretty good, the whole surprise thing with Sting being under the curtain made me feel like a little kid again. The promo where he kissed triple h's ass annoyed me but I blame that on the creative writers. This past Monday night was great, makes me wonder what they have in store for Sting this upcoming week. I really hope Sting wins, he deserves to have a wwe championship win at least once in the books. Eventually, I hope this all ties in with a retirement match with Taker. And one last thing, I really hope we do get at least one rafter segment for old times sake.
