If this was Sting's last match, which it probably should be, it was a helluva swan song. Whether the injury is legit or not, Sting gave this match everything he possibly could. The post match stuff with Sheamus and Kane took away from the moment. After the doctor left the ring and sting started circling the ring with his fists up, it told a story. Don't count me out, I didn't hear no bell, it was like the ending to a rocky movie. Sting looked incredible and he went the 15 rounds. I hope he's alright and I really hope he's not on raw tonight with a "Seth is the man" promo.

I thought he looked pretty good until that stupid table bump. It was a dumb spot for anyone. The monitors were still on it and he looked like he hit his neck and head on one of the monitors pretty hard. After that he wasn't the same, and that last turnbuckle spot was just too much. I'm fine with Sting still wrestling, but it makes no sense for him to be taking bumps like that in any match these days. Yeah, I definitely thought that was where the injury happened. He was all bruised up and everything immediately after that happened, too. I have no idea why they didn't have them remove the monitors and everything before doing that spot. That was just incredibly reckless.

He collapsed twice after the buckle bomb

Don't post much on here, anymore, but I logged on to see what everyone was saying about Sting.
Personally, I feel that Sting gave everything he had in this match. As someone who's been a fan of Sting and has looked up to Steve Borden the person since my childhood, I loved seeing him mix it up with Rollins, another one of my favorites. Sting looked great up until the table bump. That's when I started to worry. Then, he jumped off the rope to the outside. I know he did it at Mania, but this one looked like a much rougher landing. Finally, the buckle bomb was just one big bump too many.
I don't understand people saying that Sting looked old, or bad, though. He looked like he belonged right there with Rollins until just a bad bump that could have done the same to anyone. Any type of maneuver that could cause a person's head/neck to whip back like the buckle bomb could hurt anyone. It wasn't because he was old. After seeing all that, though, to see him get back up and finish the match was amazing. It's been a long time since I marked like I did when he put the Scorpion Death Lock on Seth.
He probably shouldn't have won. I would have liked it, but it was a career win for Seth. Regardless of the outcome, I couldn't be more proud to be a Sting fan after seeing his performance last night. He gave everything he had, and if that was the last match, I'll take it. I just hope that he heals up quickly from his injury, and that it isn't as serious as it looked.

But he wrestled in the WCW and would do so much for the belt because nostalgia! Yea he can hardly work, but he wrestled when we were kids! The WWE is ruining him!!!! I'm not sure what match you were watching, man. Crap booking aside, in the match I saw, Sting stood shoulder to shoulder with one of the best athletes in the WWE today and didn't look at all out of place working with him. Not at all Sting's fault that Rollin's missplaced a move and injured his neck is it? (It's not especially Rollin's fault either, crap happens in wrestling, but it's a dumbass move that's asking for trouble). I saw Cena go toe to toe with one of the best, again, and saw Sting take a couple bumps then get hurt in a decent little match. All personal opinion here.

I thought he still looked good until he jumped off the top rope. He was totally bruise up on his back and right arm after that table bump though. But when he climbed the corner I was saying to myself this won't end well. I felt after that was when it started to show he was hurt.

I think the second turnbuckle powerbomb is what got Sting. Watch his legs after the move, his ankles look like they are made of jelly. He went right down.

(It's not especially Rollin's fault either, crap happens in wrestling, but it's a dumbass move that's asking for trouble). Just like any move, you're supposed to tuck your chin on the buckle bomb. Seths done it to hundreds of today's wrestlers but shocker, he injured a 50 year old man. And yeah I see how sting stood toe to toe when he collapsed trying to duck a simple clothesline. Face it he's too old he's nearly 60 he shouldn't be wrestling. It's a stupid dangerous move. And it only takes one time for a stupid dangerous move to injure someone. The rest of your post is just lol and not even worth responding to. I think the second turnbuckle powerbomb is what got Sting. Watch his legs after the move, his ankles look like they are made of jelly. He went right down. Neck injuries can, obviously cause some trouble standing/walking. Clearly what happened here. I'm amazed that Sting was able to finish the match. That's why he's one of the best ever.

After what happened to Orton at WrestleMania XXX, the monitors should never be left in again.

Sting was nothing short of fantastic last night before the injury, anybody saying otherwise clearly has an agenda.
I still see a ton of Rollins hype around here and i just can't wrap my head around it. The guy is a great athlete, decent crowd worker, decent promo. The needle has not moved with him as champion, regardless of whether or not you like his ring work. We are no closer to another boom period with this guy on top who would be jerking the curtain in any other era.
Now i was hoping for Sting to grab a place in History by securing the WWE title tonight, but it just didn't happen. He run has been disappointing for his fanbase who clearly want to see him achieve some kind of glory in the WWE before he hangs them up. It can just be a single big win at this point, they just need to throw us some kind of a damn bone.
Some of you act like those of us who have tuned in for the sheer purpose of watching Sting should be thrilled just to see him perform on the WWE stage and be happy that he's putting a young talent over, why would someone like me care? I only watch for the part time Icons, the WWE's current talent pool does nothing for me, so things like Rock beating Punk don't bother me. I don't care about the future of a company i think creatively jumped the shark years ago.

Throwing someone like that against an uneven surface is ASKING for trouble. It would be far easier for that to go wrong than most other moves.

The only way that would go wrong is if Rollins tripped over his own feet or misread the size of the ring... Neither of which is likely to happen with someone that has been wrestling for several years. Rollins can't prevent the whiplash of a move, Sting is an older man, bones break easier. It is almost to be expected for trying to wrestle and keep up with a guy like Rollins who is in his athletic prime. Sucks that it happened but it's no ones fault and it wasn't a dangerous move.

Because you are only watching for the part timers and the icons, so you obviously aren't behind Rollins regardless. Yet you question why anyone else is. Your agenda is liking the past and questioning the present. Rollins can go like Sting used to.

Dirt sheets are saying Sting WILL be on RAW. If true, I'm shocked.

I definitely have time to follow the product faithfully if i cared enough to, i just cannot connect with guys who are clearly wrestlers first and entertainers second. I'm a promo-storyline first guy, and this is the weakest era in regards to those two things i've seen in my lifetime thus far. I watch for the larger than life aspect of wrestling and a guy like Rollins doesn't capture my imagination when i've seen guys who never held the WWE title with more charisma.

Sting is my favorite wrestler, so it's sad to hear that. I honestly got a weird vibe when he took those bumps, I honestly to agree and say that the table bump was unnessasary.
