Hall and Hulk's reaction to HHH going over Sting at WM31

[Deleted]

“I was there and obviously involved in his match at WrestleMania last year,” said Hall. “We’re rehearsing the match in Cali last year at Levi Stadium, and it’s the Kliq and the New Age Outlaws out there, and we all know each other. And then there’s Sting, who doesn’t know anybody. He’s an outsider. I just think he never felt comfortable there. Being hurt was answered prayer for him–just let it end.

“You need to remember that Vince is never going to go with something he didn’t create. But we didn’t get anything done at the rehearsal the night before, so WrestleMania day, there were tents in the parking lot set up with rings for rehearsal. So we’re all in there again, and I’m next to Hulk on the ring apron and Triple H is going over the match and then he goes, ‘OK, he’ll break the sledgehammer, then I’ll hit him with the sledgehammer, and cover him, 1-2-3.’ I looked at Hulk, and Hulk looked at me, and I was thinking, ‘Sting, what kind of lawyer do you have, bro? You’re coming in the door doing a job? You weren’t even guaranteed to go over?’ That’s Vince just reminding you who won, even if he’s going to make money the other way.”

I wanted Sting to win. But seeing as how he got the upper hand every step of the way leading to Mania, I had a bad feeling he was going to lose.

Shit, and that's HHH's BUDDY talking.

Yeah, but Hall's always spoken highly of Sting as well.

Either Sting should have won or he should have faced someone else where he could have won. Otherwise, what was the point of bringing him in other than to pad HHH's resume as the Killer of WCW? If Sting was going to job, just do Sting/Taker and move on. Just a really stupid result in what amounted to a pointless match.

Win or lose, it was just dumb that the nWo was on Sting's side.

Thinking about it, it's pretty weird.

I made 2 threads today. In one Triple H is an angel but in the other he's the devil.

Have we ever gotten Sting's reasoning for being willing to take the fall in his WWE debut match? I'm assuming that he wasn't too fussed about it because the money was good.

I'd imagine he probably figured, "I lost to Magnus repeatedly, I can handle Triple H."

That's what this is, right? Quoting dudes named Walter? Fun game.

"YA SEE, JACK, THE STINGER, MAN WAS ALWAYS TOO NICE. IF I WAS HIM, DUDE, I WOULD HAVE SAID: LISTEN VICIOUS VINCE, IS HUNTER REPAYING ME IN KIND? THAT'S HOW YOU DO BUSINESS. I WOULD HAVE SLAMMED HHH THROUGH THE RING, BROTHER, RIGHT THROUGH THE SAN ANDRES FAULT!! CALIFORNIA WOULD HAVE BROKE OFF THE USA, MAN, AND WHILE STEPH WOULD HAVE TEARS AFTER I KILLED HER HUSBAND, I WOULD TELL HER, DUDE, 'JUMP ON THE LARGEST BACK IN THE WORLD, AND I'LL SWIM YA TO SAFETY!!!!' SO WATCHA GONNA DO, WHEN HULKAMANIA DESTROYS YOU?!"

So Huntor The Burbarian could stroke his ego in his attempt to convince himself and everyone he's bigger than he really was.

All this resulted in wasting everyone's time and utterly meaningless and now we're about to have it again it looks like.

Honestly, he probably didn't care. He never seemed to have a problem jobbing to people in recent years.

Though it is very much the Hall and Hogan thing to talk about winning being in your contract

[Sam Punk]

It never made sense how the nwo backed sting.
