And one other thing people forget now is the fact that Shane McMahon legit saved that Wrestlemania. Yeah, the match wasn’t great, but they needed a draw and his returning to fight Taker in the Cell was exactly that draw. They desperately needed to make sure they filled that building, and they pulled it off. The funny thing about this is that a lot of the wrestling fans I’ve known that have been driven away by HHH watched 32 purely because they knew Shane was back. He’s weirdly a draw. There was a lot of disgust when they saw that HHH was still in main events mind you... A lot of people who have kept watching wrestling or returned to fandom since the Attitude Era ended don't realise how big a draw those guys still are. Shane used to be a big draw for his stunts at the time, and people remember that shit. |

I also have never forgotten Miz mentioning Triple H along with JBL in his post-WWE title win speech. Since Miz and H had never had any onscreen interaction, it always made me think he must have been a real asshole to Miz. There's also the famous footage of him ignoring Miz's handshake. I know he pulls him in for a hug after but it's conveniently when there's a camera on him. Miz's hurt expression when the handshake is ignored says enough.
Perhaps I'm overthinking it but those two incidents have always stuck in my head.

I didnt start watching until 2003 or 2004. Casually at that.
2005 is when i hunkered down and became a fan.
Even before i bothered to go online and join forums, finding out who he was and all that. He bugged me. His matches always bored me. The best way to describe my thoughts on his matches, I feel as if he and Hideo Kojima are brothers from different mothers.
Edit: i dont have any interest in shows or people that take themselves overly serious, and his character/ego has always resonated through the screen.

Because the slightly less over-the-hill guy from the 90s beat the slightly more over-the-hill guy from the 90s? It was probably because for most fans it was a once in a lifetime chance to see Sting in a WWE ring, he had been one of the biggest stars in the business, they hadn't seen him in TNA. Also, this was the most famous man to never set foot in a WWE ring. That alone was huge and it would have made sense to open his WWE career with a win. I'm not as angry about it as some but I do think Sting should have gone over there.
