Anyone like how WWE is using Sting at the moment? I feel as though it's going back to his post-1997 Starrcade character, which is a lot better for this feud.
When Triple H faced off against Sting, Sting was the brooding silent type. He didn't talk at all, and just made random appearances. This time around, however, he is back to his post-Starrcade 1997 character, where he's basically the charismatic surfer Sting in Crow Attire. Instead of appearing and taking out Rollins week after week, he's cutting promos and acting a bit comedic. This version of Sting really fits in WWE right now. The brooding type didn't as it was a bit too dark, plus the fact that he hasn't really been silent for at least a decade.

I'm not a fan of how WWE is using Sting at all. He should not be an active wrestler in my opinion. He could have signed with the company for merchandise and a HOF induction. I'm aware that he's Sting, and he's accomplished a lot in the past but the fact is simple - he's an old man. Him wrestling Seth Rollins in 2015 for the WWE title seems absurd to me.

It's classic wrestling tho. Bring in a legend even if he's well past his prime, and have him put over the young up and coming break out kid. I personally have no problem with it. Im sure seth's excited as hell to be working Sting |

I'm just not a big Sting guy, honestly. I haven't really enjoyed anything he's done under WWE contract thus far.
Regardless, I am looking forward to the Seth match.

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.

I'm aware that he's Sting, and he's accomplished a lot in the past but the fact is simple - he's an old man. Him wrestling Seth Rollins in 2015 for the WWE title seems absurd to me. I find posts like this extremely offensive. Sting is 56 years old since when was 56 old? 70 is old and so is 80 but in this day and age 56 is nothing. Also Sting can still go and at the end of the day that's all that matters. If he was in a similar shape like Bret Hart or even Ric Flair I would say yes get him out of the ring but if he is in good shape and can wrestle a match then let him go and do what he does best.
I find it really absurd that people are complaining about Sting's age and why do you even care? Age is just a number nothing more and nothing else and if his age is you guys problem then you really need to loosen up and stop spoiling the show on your selves.
Also Sting is basically a new guy in the company and hasn't hogged the spotlight like Cena, Big Show etc has done for years. He is a legend who has just arrived and we have waited years to him in the WWE so he deserves his chance just like everyone else has.
Ageism should be illegal imo and it's one of the biggest problems in the world today.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so I respect yours but I still disagree with it. Age isn't just a number in pro wrestling I don't think. It comes to a point where people shouldn't be competing anymore and I believe 56 is well passed it. In the grand scheme of things, 56 is not old but in athletics it certainly is but that's just me. |

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! |

HBK had been around for years so there's no place for him anymore. Sting is new in the company and it is a real to see him stand in a WWE ring let alone wrestle. Also don't forget Sting hadn't wrestled for 1 year before WM so he did pretty well and even jumped ontop of DX. NOC will be the telling point. |

To me personally, Sting always shined because of his personality. He was electric and energetic. Crow Sting took all that away. This is more of a mixture of the two and I like it.
I do agree though, Sting waited too long to join WWE. At this age he's good for an appearance or two, but he really shouldn't be winning many matches.

Nope. Not one bit.
After 14 years, Sting finally joins the WWE, and he's going after the one belt that's alluded him throughout his whole career, and THIS garbage storyline is the best they got for him?
This is Sting's first WWE Title shot. Let that sink in. After 14 years, Sting is going after the WWE Championship. And what's been the main focal point for this feud? Seth Rollins looking to end the icon that is Sting? No. Sting looking the obtain the one title he's never held? No.
The focal of this feud has been Seth's statue. A f*cking statue. That's been the focal point of this feud. Absolutely indefensible.
Sting, for so many years denied going to WWE, because he thought they were going to book him horribly. Well you know what? He was right. WWE got Sting, the one guy everyone though they weren't going to get, and they booked him, just like they booked Booker T, Goldberg, DDP, Steiner, and every other WCW to WWE main eventer. They booked him like s*it.
Sting is now just another guy on the roster, now.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't think Sting should be '97 Crow Sting, but at the same time, I don't think Sting should be acting like Joker Sting, during the buildup for his first, and possibly only WWE Title match.

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. |
