Never allies until then. And I'll agree that wwe screwed up on not giving us anything with Sting and taker but they didn't treat Sting as just any other guy by a long shot. Instant match at mania? Title shot with Rollins? (Which doesn't count as a match btw) Alright, man, we’re all glad you enjoyed Sting’s WWE run. A lot of people didn’t. And the Rollins match counts as a match. It’s mind boggling you’re acting like it doesn’t. Rollins who?

No, it’s more because they brought him in, used him as just another guy, completely failed to deliver the Undertaker match everyone was clamoring for, and then proceeded to do nothing at all to give him even a semblance of a send off. And, yeah, Moxley and Kingston is going to be way different in most people’s’ eyes. Moxley and Kingston were old friends who became enemies over jealousy. The NWO was Sting’s sworn enemy for multiple years. It’d have been more similar if, like, Luger came down to aid Sting at Mania. Hogan and Sting were NEVER allies. Never allies until then. And I'll agree that wwe screwed up on not giving us anything with Sting and taker but they didn't treat Sting as just any other guy by a long shot. Instant match at mania? Title shot with Rollins? (Which doesn't count as a match btw) I genuinely don’t understand saying a match doesn’t count as a match. It happened. There was a match.

Tony Khan said we will probably see him in the ring wrestling regular matches at some point to. Along with these cinematic matches.

I didn’t see Triple H vs. Sting live. He’s my second favorite wrestler I would have loved it. Sting and the NWO, didn’t make sense to a lot of people but to me it was kinda like a sibling rivalry, I fight with my brother but if any one messes with him their in big trouble. It’s what family does. Also sometimes in wrestling you just turn off you brain. DX vs. NWO at wrestlemania. Mark the heck out. Also HBK kicking Sting while he had hhh in the death lock? Ive been dreaming about that spot for 20 years. Also it’s not like sting was jobbed he took a sledgehammer to the face. If you are a sting fan you know he doesn’t give two craps about winning and put over whoever.
As for tonight’s match. It was fine. Sting is like the closest thing wrestling has to Batman. You really can’t compare the two. I was just happy to see one of my favorites kicking ass. There was some badass spots. I’d watch another one of these in a few months. It’s not like their going to give him a world title.

I know why it's because he lost to HHH. Because they had the nwo help him. Because HHH had him shake hands yadda yadda speaking of NWO helping Sting, is Kingston helping moxley much different? So what if long time rivals turn to alliances? No, it’s more because they brought him in, used him as just another guy, completely failed to deliver the Undertaker match everyone was clamoring for, and then proceeded to do nothing at all to give him even a semblance of a send off.

The NWO was Sting’s sworn enemy for multiple years. It’d have been more similar if, like, Luger came down to aid Sting at Mania. Hogan and Sting were NEVER allies. Sting was in the NWO at one point... Also I remember Sting and Hogan being allies. Sting even guest starred on thunder in Paradise. If anything look at it as an NWO face turn. With all the reunions WWE did over the years they pretty much were at that point.

Sting was never in the "real" nWo. He was in the Wolfpac, red facepaint and all. And when the nWo factions reunited, he was on his own again.
As for the topic at hand, in honor of AEW's newest signing...
Tomko, give me a beat.

Is this the defacto appreciation thread? That match ruled; pretty much the antithesis of his WM match. Darby absolutely stole the show IMO before....ya know....

Even if for some reason you're nonsensically not counting the Seth thing as a match, he also had a match with Big Show on Raw then a tag match with Cena against Show and Rollins afterward.

To be fair, you could consider his HOF induction as a sendoff. As for the 'Taker match.... about 5 years earlier you might have gotten something good, but as it stood, cinematic matches weren't a thing in 2015, and even if they had been in TNA (My memory is hazy, so maybe that'd already happened there), the WWE wasn't doing them. So you're left with a 1 on 1 match that in all likelyhood would have been total assheeks. It sucks we never got Sting/Taker, but by 2015 the chance had passed

I completely get why they did Sting vs. Triple H instead of Sting vs. Taker. Sting was coming off being pretty genuinely terrible toward the end of his TNA run to where he seemed like he could barely even move anymore, and in his own right Taker was coming off getting his brains scrambled against Brock. There was every reason to think on paper it'd be an utter disaster and that they should both be against someone more capable, even if come the actual show both Sting and Taker did fine.

Haven’t seen the Street Fight yet, but that Sting vs. HHH Mania match was great, run-ins and all. And the loss was Sting’s idea because he thought it was his last match.

The only thing I didnt like was the commentary. They really shouldn't have had the commentary but I think it was used to mask them building the sparklers
