Like I said..He kept his wrestling morals and decency. It's not about the money. Don't know if you ever kept up with his career or just watching him through a few youtube vids, you will know what a great wrestler he was and will always be a great wrestler.
Regardless of how he came to his conclusion it boils down to this one statement: "I didn't trust how I was going to be used" Is there a more legit reason for him not to have gone?
1) "who in the blue hell are you?!" is one of The Rock's famous catch phrases, he'd say it to fellow wrestlers, commentators and anyone who'd 'get in his way'. 2) Booker T was obviously being pushed, The Rock was one of the most popular wrestlers during that time, so making him fued with Booker T was an obvious push. Sting needs to get his head out of his ass, and honestly he isn't even THAT great, good no doubt but I've never seen him as a legend like I do, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, Ric Flair, etc
Seeing how they handled the Invasion, Steiner, and then Goldberg, I think Sting was totally right to not be confident about the way WWE would use him.
bull shit sting is a fake punk! he won't go because he can't perform at the level wwe has their wrestlers perform. he can't wrestle every night and can't keep up with people like shawn michaels, taker, huh, etc. That's why he likes TNA cause he doesn't do shit.
@godlikecharacta Sting would beat Undertaker at Wrestlemania.Shawn Michaels is better off tag teaming with Marty Jannetty before he think about messing with Sting.Sting is amazing.
i dont like tna/wcw i am a wwe fan, and i have seen Sting b4 and think it would be cool if he came to wwe but whatever he does is fine, its his life not mine.
@lafatsia A dork? really? what are you like 14? Look at the perspective like an adult. Sting was simply too good to be vince mcmahons pawn. He has kept his wrestling morals where as WWE is all about sex & sluts..not to mention the writers suck! I don't blame Sting for not wanting anything to do with WWE bull.
you are correct! like an adult hmmmm, lets see....he would have been paid more in the wwe but would have been kicked out before he got to the fame status he reached in wcw ,ecw, tna, who really gives a shit. if sting was as good as i guess YOU think he is he shouldnt have been scaredto join. besides the point ..does the wcw even still exist? now heres my honest opinion. I beleive sting joining wwe would bring him great success , just needs to stop being so scared and worried
and im not 14 im old enough to tombstone your ass in real life not fake life so fuck you i used to bodyguard for the heart family and know a thing or 2 . like for instance did you know the rock got breast implants? i didnt either until HE TOLD ME!
my favorite wrestler is the ROCK! , my favorite rapper is eminem!. ive been watching wwf since the mid 70s and this is why i feel i can make this comment. TO ME they were both fags and i hated them when they burst on the scene . i didnt know who the rock was until some fag walked up to me in highschool and asked me what my name was ....IT DIDNT MATTER what its ws lol , i loved the rock since. same with eminem , you gotta buit a career out of nothing and if vince likes you he will make u a star!
I agree with Sting, if they were to use Sting especially for Wrestlemania most likely he would lose against the Undertaker. Sting is great and that would be a "dream" match, but I think that's all it ever will be, a dream and I don't think it should get any further than that. But man would it be an awesome match!
Sting is wrong...Booker T'[s 1st night in WWE was at the KOTR 01 when he attacked Austin and was chased thru the crowd, a memorable moment that sparked the inVasion, next night he attacked Vince and was chased off thru the crowd in MSG, a big time moment
Actually Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, were the top 2 men to jump from WWF to WCW. Hogan returned in 2002 as NWO leader then turn face reverting to his red and yellow. Savage on the other hand never return to WWF as he and Vince McMahon had bad blood for number of years until his death in May 2011.
So basically The Rock burying Booker T is the reason why Sting never came to the WWE? Sting should tell the truth, He was fuckin scared. The Attitude Era guys would have ate him up and spit him out. That is the reason why he didn't come to WWE.
@AgeOfPunk Ok, then how would the "attitude era guys" chew Sting up and spit him out?? Sting was right up there with Austin and the Rock as far as popularity, and more popular than HHH, DX, etc. plus was a great athlete and good wrestler. Sting didn't want to put up with McMahon's bullshit, plus he had a guaranteed contract with AOL/Time Warner if he didn't go to WWE. I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to wrestle in that sorry organization either.
@bull864 Yes Sting had the popularity, but when it came to being psychical in the ring Sting didnt have it, He still doesnt have it. That is why he stayed WCW and now TNA, they dont ask him to do much. Plus WCW was PG just like WWE is now. So tell me this why would Sting wrestle for a PG WCW and Then a TV 14 TNA but not a PG WWE? Wouldn't he feel right at home in WWE? And yes McMahon is a hard ass who runs a successful wrestling company unlike Dixie Carter and Ted Turner.
Sting just admit it you knew you were not the same guy anymore and you could not measure up. Afraid due to the other WCW guys? Oh yeah cause god knows they made Chris Jericho look like a real jobber huh?
@WWECMPunk2011 you know at first I was gonna strongly object to your statements..BUT then I thought look at what WWE did for chris beniot, eddie guerraro (Hall of Famer) and chris jericho and your right I don't see logically why sting would turn down vince mcmahon and the WWE.
Booker T was never buried, he just wasn't as great as The Rock.
Sting is perhaps wise to be cautious, but he could have worked great programmes with Undertaker & Kurt Angle & Jericho and Stone Cold if he'd been there. Goldberg was never a great wrestler, neither were guys like Nash
I think Sting was afraid he'd be exposed as what he was a guy on the end of his career who would not have been able to hang with guys in their prime like Taker, HHH, Angle, Brock, ect.
I believe if Sting was to ever go into the WWE between now and while Vince is still alive, it would completely ruin everything Sting made about himself. Look at what happened Goldberg.
damn The Rock says that sh*t all the time don't take it so seriously! everybody knew who Booker T was even me as a kid and i only watched wwf! to then become (e) who in the blue moon are you!? haha classic if you can't come back from that then you got to up your game!
Even though Sting's suspicions are, by and large, justified. He can't legitimately claim that all WCW Superstars were undermined and misused in the WWF/WWE. My immediate example to that effect is Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit reached heights in the WWE that they would have never have reasonable reached in the WCW. Mainly because of the ridiculous Wolfpac/NWO "takeover" of the WCW.
@MrCarl220 lol yer vince is a dick,,, but sting could have made a debut like steiner or goldberg after that invasion shit!! Their HOF is alrite imo, but their shows suck donkey balls these days!!!!!!!! Id rather look at old vids on youtube lol
I don't think at all Sting would have been misused have he went to WWE. Sting is in a league with the likes of Ric Flair. By 2001 he was a wrestling legend. Vince never misused Flair so why sting. Back then guys like Booker T had to prove their self they were worthy for wwe, and now booker n Rey r regulars/veterans. The rest didn't. Sting could have had great matches w. taker, hbk, rock, hhh, cena, edge, randy, but now he's no where to be found to the general public. I believe he would been wwe
Sting might have a chance to go in2 the WWE Hall of fame,, Vince owns WCW & if he can put the horsemen in the Hall of fame then I dont see why Sting cant be!! But,,, It would have 2 be long after sting retires!! ( & maybe after vinces death) lol
@spinert Sorry, in all due respect, their HOF is a joke! I'm glad Sting never worked for Vince! "Who are you?" is such an insult by the way! PIss on Vince! Just my opinion.
@spinert their plan was to bring him in last year, go up against taker at mania and then be inducted in the HOF but he returned to TNA instead and they turned his promos into undertaker promos (idk you remember, trenchcoated figure walking up to house?? originally sting)
Sting was an idiot for not going to WWE......fans would have loved to see him there,but i guess he didnt care about his fans,so now he's a washed up loser in TNA,good move Sting
Truthfully, and not marking or anything, but I've seen exactly that, and can agree with Sting completely. I have even seen it here in local independent promotions. I don't blame him for not joining WWE.
In short: He's a fag but he didn't want to perpetuate the fag-entertainment of watching grown men get oiled up in Speedos and play-fight with each other. But he's still a fag like any pro play-fighter.
@HOaliyartMO Buddy, if you want faggotry in sports, I suggest you take a strong look at the blatant homoeroticism present in UFC. Two half naked musclemen rolling around on the mat hugging each other. For at least half the match. Sometimes three quarters of it. It's for this reason that it's been confirmed that UFC is gaining popularity among circles of gay men. Seriously, for all it's scripted fakery, pro-wrestling provides FAR more action and entertainment value than that shit.
@jordanmachuca Mind your own business, you fuckstick twat!! I don't recall asking you for your opinion on mine. It's my own and I'm free to express it as I please. And WWE IS and always was second rate and childish in attitude next to WCW. Don't agree? Go fuck yourself!
Wrestling is a contact sport, much like football and MMA. So physical contact is a foregone conclusion and only the blindest and most ignorant of wrestling haters use that as an argument. Homophobic because you're using said contact as a long stretch to attack people by calling/implying those involved with the sport is gay. (there's not nearly that much contact in wrestling than you live to believe)
I mad? Nah. Just calling you out on your ignorance and homophobia.
Come on, im an old school fan, i dont watch it anymore coz its shite, has been since 97. But Sting had a very poor persona for it to work in the WWF, i mean all he did were copy The Crow, he should of gone back to his old character with the white hair and facepaint, i think he would of been as big as ever if he had that look today in the WWE. Oh well
Sting was right not to trust how he'd be used, especially given the rather admittingly routine juvenile immaturity of the WWF's storyline motif and the way they treated ex-WCW stars that jumped ship after it went under. I dunno, WCW always seemed so much more mature in their storylines, content tone, and overall delivery and execution of their wrestling brand (at least til '99). WWF/E always had a 3-ring circus/( and later on)Jerry Springer soap opera vibe to it. And it still does.
@protoroc Yeah, but TNA is raunchy in its own right today. I'm not knocking TNA, but they've got a tough reputation. He's right, though, about the takeover thing with WCW and WWE; the WCW stars were looked down on back then. I still believe the real reason Sting didn't join the WWE is because he likes being the big fish in a small pond. His decision is all right by me.
smartest decision he ever made, they would have ruined him, like they did to all the other wcw guys. Vince Mcmahon finally had a chance to make years and years of great matches, feuds, or he could have finananced wcw to stay in buisness and let them keep their own show.
But instead out of bitterness, he buried them just to prove a shitty point, wrestling went down the toilet since the invasion angle if you ask me. Unbelieveable how mcmahon fucked that up so badly.
@ChillPill365 Excatly. When WCW folded, DDP, one of that company's top rated wrestlers was basically in the WWF reduced to an easily pushed-over 2nd rate and put into degrading and humiliating storylines before being quickly given the heave ho, get lost, nothing more we can do for you stick.
@ChillPill365 LOL @ the 39 retards who gave u a thumbs up, ok, lets look at what happened to DDP, he came in and feuded with a top star,Undertaker, then was injured during one of their bouts, he was in his mid 40's and his career was fading away, so he was put in the midcard to limit his ring time, DDP then came up with a spokesman gimmick and won European title, DDP retired less than a year after signging with WWE....How is this relevant to Sting?
Sting is a champ. He stuck to his guns and didn't go to WWE. You can't blame him for thinking that. I mean the WWE/WWF/etc had screwed a lot of wrestlers over in the years.
All the WCW and ECW talent got dumped on during the whole 'Invasion' angle. It could've been the greatest storyline in pro wrestling ever and it ended being a waste because Vincent K, McMahon let his ego rip these guys apart. A few guys like Booker T. and Ron Van Dam did okay FOR AWHILE but most of those guys were just buried.
Look at how the WCW talent was handled during the whole Invasion angle. It was made clear to the audience that one WCW couldn't beat one WWF guy. WCW always had to use the numbers game or some underhanded tactics to win.
And if that's not enough, they had Stone Cold Steve Austin join the WCW/ECW Alliance because lord knows, all those WCW/ECW weren't a serious enough threat. I mean the very final WCW/ECW vs WWF confrontation only featured 2 WCW/ECW guys in Booker T and RVD
So essentially Sting thinks he's worth more than all other wrestlers, and doesn't think he should have to climb the ladder in a new company. Okay there Sting. Go put on your clown makeup for TNA and pretend you're the Joker from a 4 year old movie, using the same tired old internet "why so serious" meme. You're a joke now, and that isn't just talking about your facepaint. Get on your knees and suck Hogan's cock you fucking flaming faggot!
@crumpman85 doubt that he is worth more than rock and steve austin... these guys do movies commercials and make guest appearances in music awards... even the rocks theme song was big, method man done a track you smell what the rock is cooking. not sure about your research
@teradac2 Either way going to WWE or not going Sting IS and will ALWAYS be one of the greatest. He didnt trust Vince who has a track record of screwing people, its that simple and if I were at his level I damn sure would not want to work my way up through some no name card fillers.
@teradac2 He has been around for a loooooong time so the chances of him being worth more are pretty good, not to mention he was with wcw which paid their superstars more money. Are their any of the old wcw guys still in the wwe today? Im not sure but I dont think so.
@crumpman85 No he isn't WWE's superstar Undertaker is big & better then sting any day of the week & at least undertaker keeps fight unlike sting & tna.
@EDDIETORRES101 I didnt say anything about WWE, I said Sting is one of the best ever. That means one of the best wrestlers ever for any brand. Undertaker is good too.
i think what sting meant to say was "the reason i didnt go to the WWE was because i like second rate shows with not nearly as much money as i deserve"... there, thats better
@ColloseoCru sting has money y u think he didnt go to wwe he is happy y would u want him to go some where he dont want to sting is not like some of these old guy who blow away theyre money
@dbzdezz1 The most talented of the buch always rise to the top. He didnt want to have to work his way back up to the top, so he didnt go to the WWE. It wasnt anything about pride/the way they treated those guys, it was because he did not feel he had to work to be a star again. Its whatever, im not mad at him, he really not super talented anyway, not a loss for WWE.
@ColloseoCru wtf thats like tellin a start qb that he has to start at the bottom hell y should he have to work his way bac up how long has he been in wrestling come on now sting right now still can go not like some wreatlers who have one match a yr and people dick ride him when he show up
@dbzdezz1 you just compared wrestling to football. seriously? this is nothing like telling a starting qb to start back at the bottom, unless that qb was the star of a failed football league, and he was to be picked up by a team in the NFL. would that qb not have to go through the tryouts and the riffing of their new teammates? Come on, dont let your love for a now fallen superstar get in the way of what has truly transpired
@ColloseoCru wait how is he a fallen superstar hmmm he still has his money not like some other wrestlers his age he happy with what he is doin so how has he fallen iam like if he wasnt happy and didnt have money he might have went to wwe but he has thoes things so how has he fallen if u happy with ur life and how it is u have not fallen
@MrDeePay I totally agree, wrestling as a sport is great. High school and olympic wrestling, as well as grappling tournaments, are great for anybody to get involved in and they are a great source of entertainment. We have no disagreement there.
You claim I'm ignorant when you think grown men getting oiled up in Speedos and play-fighting is wrestling? Real combat sports don't involve tag team flaming table ladder matches. Sorry, play-fighting is just gay. So are the fans of this trash.
I like how you say nothing about that homophobia I called you out on. On top of that, wrestling's staged, whoop de doo! Everyone knows that, but nobody cares (just like how nobody cares that movies and TV shows are mostly staged). It is a common criticism people only use because they're too ignorant to come up with a better argument.
Which brings me up to this question: If it's so "bad because it's fake" and "gay", when why did you post on a wrestling-related video?
@MrDeePay I did respond to the homophobia that you tried to imply. I said I have nothing against fags, simply the fags who watch grown men get oiled up in Speedos and play-fight.
I posted here because this video was wrongly put up as related to real fighting, and because people like you need to hear these things. Look at how defensive you get.
It's clearly fake yet in the last post you said it was a combat sport? Stupidity and a lack of reality are your only 2 weapons haha.
For someone who claims not to have anything against gays, you sure constantly use a derivative term for them. But still to claim that people that work in wrestling and the fans that watch it are gay is nothing short of ignorant no matter how you look at it.
It also has nothing to do with being "defensive" as you have said nothing anyone else has said against wrestling in the past hasn't tried to pull. Those similar comments were as stupid then as they are now.
While the likes of WWE, TNA, ROH, NJPW, etc. are all forms of sports entertainment, wrestling will always be contact oriented; real or not. (much like football, boxing, and even MMA)
And if this video was "wrongly put up as related to real fighting", then you could've easily ignored it and moved on with your life, but I'm guessing that was too difficult for you to do, so...
Anyway, I'm starting to feel you're just pulling my leg on this whole thing, so yeah.
@MrDeePay I agree, people can always ignore posts they don't like online. You should try taking your own advice since you posted to me first (and continue to post multiple responses each time).
Fag isn't "derivative", derogative perhaps but even then it's you who is putting the negative connotation on it.
It's not a contact sport, it's play fighting. Guys in football don't willingly let the guy grab them.
Fags play-fighting while oiled up. It's ok to come out of the closet man.
And you can easily ignore any of my posts if you don't like them. See? It goes both ways!
All you're doing at this point is regurgitating the same crap against wrestling and it's clearly showing how little you actually know about the material you're bashing. It's really making you look quite foolish. You are using the negative connotations of "fag" as you're using it as a means of an insult and nothing more. If you weren't you wouldn't be using "fag" in the first place.
Wrestling (real or "play fighting") still requires people to make significant contact and it would fall under at least a full-contact sport, even though the WWE/TNA/ROH/etc stuff is scripted. Look it up.
As for me, no, I'm not gay, and neither are most wrestling fans or those that work in the profession. Again, you trying to say otherwise is nothing short of ignorant and homophobic, if not outright trolling if you're still that persistent on the issue.
@MrDeePay Full contact wouldn't involve pulling punches.
Real wrestling (olympic, collegiate, etc) is a contact sport. Let's not be stupid and get the two confused now. Full-contact means just that, FULL CONTACT. You don't throw them in a way to where they land soft and you don't fake punch them. Plus it's scripted so it's not a sport either.
You aren't gay? Then why do you get so much entertainment out of watching grown men get oiled up in Speedos and play-fight? It doesn't add up.
For a troll, you sure are persistent. OK, I'll continue to entertain you.
A full contact sport is any sport in where physical contract between players to a significant level is allowed for within the rules of the game. Football, wrestling (both real and fake), MMA, boxing, and even hockey would fall under that definition.
Your question I know you're just gonna twist around no matter the answer, as you've already shown how little you actually know about wrestling. That and at this point you're just outright trolling anyway.
I can definitely understand Sting's concern about being in WWE...still, I would've marked out if i saw him against guys like The Rock, Stone Cold, or the Undertaker
sting makes a good point here, because booker t did lose something when he went over to wwe like sting said here he was treated like a nobody on wwe when he first went there which is wrong, i knew of booker t before i knew of the rock or any of those wwe wrestlers, big respect for sting after seeing this because hes 100% right. And hes 100% loyal
Wwe needs to put out a sting dvd like the randy savage one...at least we would have great matches and promos...maybe one day...it would be a top seller no doubt ...peace ...toddio
In all honesty Sting doesnt mean this, the only reason he latched onto Booker was because he was the champion. It wasnt that Booker was disrespected it was that the champion was disrespected. If you go back to Jerichos first debut, The Rock did the same exact thing to him. Its the Rocks character, and if Sting knew anything about it he would of known it wasnt a personal attack it was in character.
@jason60152 Stone Cold, Bret Hart, Undertaker, CM Punk, Chris Benoit, HHH, Cactus Jack, Chris Jericho, Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Shawn Michaels, etc. Sting stinks, and his promos are unoriginal nonsense.
@morningwould Sting is wayyyy better than Chris Jericho,Randy Savage and HHH.Sting innovated a move! Sting was the king of WCW.Bret Hart even borrowed the Sharpshooter from Sting.
@balser77 yeah it be like if Peyton Manning was traded from the Colts to lets just say the Jets... he would only go if he was going to be the starter. hes a vet and has earned his place. hes paid hes dues (as Sting has) and wouldnt wanna tarnish his legacy and all his hard work for a couple bucks. good for him. he chose loyalty, respect and honor over vince mcmahon, attention and money
Actually WCW from 1998-2001 sucked. WCW from 1995-1997 DECENT, But WCW from the late 80's till 1995 WAS WRESTLING. The WWF was all cartoony crap, and im a huge Hulk Hogan fan. He is the only reason i watched the WWF. I was a WCW fan first. I MISS IT SO MUCH. And sting took a huge shot at Booker T Huffman here, HE was in WCW from 1993 till 2001 and was a 5 time champ and the last champ. He was a mainstay, he wasnt just some packcage deal, Sting is just mad he wasnt final original WCW Champ.
@TombstoneInc Are you serious? WCW in the early 90's had crap like the White Castle of Fear, the Dungeon of Doom, amnesia angles, Ding Dongs, etc. Plus, for a while, Lex Luger was their top star. I wouldn't associate any of this with great wrestling.
come or not he is already buried. thing is they actually put effort on their work. sting is the kind of person who wants to take it easy lazy ass bastard...
Damn. I think Sting misunderstood what the Rock meant by saying, "Who are you?" The Rock said that to everybody back in the day. It wasn't meant to put Booker T down, it was just something that the Rock said. Still, best not to dwell on that past. Sting did not go to the WWE, and it's apparent that he never will. Doesn't change the fact that Sting is one of the greatest wrestlers who ever lived.
@TeeAiDee : I don't think he was so much indicting The Rock as being a douche or anything, I think that when The Rock said that comment that the reality to the situation finally dawned on him that the chances of him being used correctly would be slim to none. It wasn't until MANY years later that Booker T finally got a real run with a title match against HHH at WMXIX. The whole WCW/ECW Invasion angle as exciting as it was could have been so much better.
Cont: One random question. If Sting ever finally did come to WWE, who would you rather see him in a program with? The Rock, or The Undertaker? For me, the perfect scenario would be for Undetaker to declare he wanted one last shot at a title before he retires so he enters the Royal Rumble. Taker is in there, lights go off then come back on, and suddenly he stands out on the floor with Sting standing in the ring in "Crow" form. He points to the Wrestlemania banner with his ball-bat.
@D2Kprime Yeah, the Invasion could have been the greatest storyline in professional wrestling history. It could've had Sting, Goldberg, nWo, Bret Hart, all sorts of things. Too bad Vince had an opportunity to make all the dream matches that never were.
@EpicFknBrutality My comment said one of the greatest wrestlers, so I meant one of the greatest wresters. Just because storylines are involved doesn't make the sport any less physical, dude. It's still wrestling.
@Darazz Very true. Unfortunately, the WWF(at that time) couldn't afford to get those "top stars" of WCW. In fact, the only the only WCW wrestler I recognized during the "Invasion" storyline was Diamond Dallas Page. Everybody else in WCW, I didn't recognize. Hell, even the top ECW wrestlers like New Jack, the Sandman, Sabu, Axl Rotten, and Balls Mahoney weren't part of that "Invasion" as well. If the top stars from both WCW and ECW were present, the "Invasion" of the WWF would've been better.
STING is and has been ONE OF THE BEST WRESTLERS IN THE WORLD!!! A GREAT TALENT AND HE IS RIGHT!!! McMahon used the WWF as a tool of REVENGE against TURNER when he bought the company. The WCW talent was BY-FAR GREATER than the WWF and everyone knows it and Vince was jealous of that fact and wanted to bury the guys from there. IN WCW, those guys were REAL WRESTLERS, in WWF, they are ENTERTAINERS. Everyone who is a real wrestling buff, like me, have known of the rivarly for decades from the two.
Lol yeah because some dipshit troll who can't come up with anything else to say other than go cry must think he knows something. ROFL stupid bitch it's ok..I know you're just butthurt that I actually know something and you don't know shit;)
A smart decision when you think about it like that. But at the same time, WWE is WWE. And I imagine Sting wouldn't have been buried as low as Booker T, considering Sting was a huge star for many years before Booker, and he has the skin pigmentation that it normally takes to be a star in WWE (or any wrestling promotion for that matter, but especially WWE.)
@shakinggenitals He did, but the issue was if Sting did come in, eventually he would've been buried somehow under the politics back then with Vince and HHH. Booker had a good run with WWE, but it took a while for him to really rise to the top even after leaving WCW as its champion. Same thing with Goldberg, DDP, during their run. Sting was comfortable with how he was handled in WCW, and Vince wouldn't have been so delicate in handling Sting against guys like HHH, Rock, and Taker
Like I said..He kept his wrestling morals and decency. It's not about the money. Don't know if you ever kept up with his career or just watching him through a few youtube vids, you will know what a great wrestler he was and will always be a great wrestler.

1) "who in the blue hell are you?!" is one of The Rock's famous catch phrases, he'd say it to fellow wrestlers, commentators and anyone who'd 'get in his way'. 2) Booker T was obviously being pushed, The Rock was one of the most popular wrestlers during that time, so making him fued with Booker T was an obvious push. Sting needs to get his head out of his ass, and honestly he isn't even THAT great, good no doubt but I've never seen him as a legend like I do, Bret Hart, Stone Cold, Ric Flair, etc

bull shit sting is a fake punk! he won't go because he can't perform at the level wwe has their wrestlers perform. he can't wrestle every night and can't keep up with people like shawn michaels, taker, huh, etc. That's why he likes TNA cause he doesn't do shit.

Sting was right up there with Austin and the Rock as far as popularity, and more popular than HHH, DX, etc. plus was a great athlete and good wrestler. Sting didn't want to put up with McMahon's bullshit, plus he had a guaranteed contract with AOL/Time Warner if he didn't go to WWE. I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to wrestle in that sorry organization either.
bull864 5 days ago
@bull864 Yes Sting had the popularity, but when it came to being psychical in the ring Sting didnt have it, He still doesnt have it. That is why he stayed WCW and now TNA, they dont ask him to do much. Plus WCW was PG just like WWE is now. So tell me this why would Sting wrestle for a PG WCW and Then a TV 14 TNA but not a PG WWE? Wouldn't he feel right at home in WWE? And yes McMahon is a hard ass who runs a successful wrestling company unlike Dixie Carter and Ted Turner.

Even though Sting's suspicions are, by and large, justified. He can't legitimately claim that all WCW Superstars were undermined and misused in the WWF/WWE. My immediate example to that effect is Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit reached heights in the WWE that they would have never have reasonable reached in the WCW. Mainly because of the ridiculous Wolfpac/NWO "takeover" of the WCW.

I don't think at all Sting would have been misused have he went to WWE. Sting is in a league with the likes of Ric Flair. By 2001 he was a wrestling legend. Vince never misused Flair so why sting.

@HOaliyartMO Buddy, if you want faggotry in sports, I suggest you take a strong look at the blatant homoeroticism present in UFC.

It's for this reason that it's been confirmed that UFC is gaining popularity among circles of gay men. Seriously, for all it's scripted fakery, pro-wrestling provides FAR more action and entertainment value than that shit.

Wrestling is a contact sport, much like football and MMA. So physical contact is a foregone conclusion and only the blindest and most ignorant of wrestling haters use that as an argument.

TheRantMachine2011 1 week ago
Sting was right not to trust how he'd be used, especially given the rather admittingly routine juvenile immaturity of the WWF's storyline motif and the way they treated ex-WCW stars that jumped ship after it went under. I dunno, WCW always seemed so much more mature in their storylines, content tone, and overall delivery and execution of their wrestling brand (at least til '99). WWF/E always had a 3-ring circus/( and later on)Jerry Springer soap opera vibe to it. And it still does.

But instead out of bitterness, he buried them just to prove a shitty point, wrestling went down the toilet since the invasion angle if you ask me. Unbelieveable how mcmahon fucked that up so badly.

All the WCW and ECW talent got dumped on during the whole 'Invasion' angle.

A few guys like Booker T. and Ron Van Dam did okay FOR AWHILE but most of those guys were just buried.
Leftysfive93 1 week ago
He's absolutely right!
Look at how the WCW talent was handled during the whole Invasion angle. It was made clear to the audience that one WCW couldn't beat one WWF guy. WCW always had to use the numbers game or some underhanded tactics to win.
And if that's not enough, they had Stone Cold Steve Austin join the WCW/ECW Alliance because lord knows, all those WCW/ECW weren't a serious enough threat. I mean the very final WCW/ECW vs WWF confrontation only featured 2 WCW/ECW guys in Booker T and RVD

@HOaliyartMO
I like how you say nothing about that homophobia I called you out on. On top of that, wrestling's staged, whoop de doo! Everyone knows that, but nobody cares (just like how nobody cares that movies and TV shows are mostly staged). It is a common criticism people only use because they're too ignorant to come up with a better argument.
Which brings me up to this question: If it's so "bad because it's fake" and "gay", when why did you post on a wrestling-related video?
MrDeePay 1 week ago
@MrDeePay I did respond to the homophobia that you tried to imply. I said I have nothing against fags, simply the fags who watch grown men get oiled up in Speedos and play-fight.
I posted here because this video was wrongly put up as related to real fighting, and because people like you need to hear these things. Look at how defensive you get.
It's clearly fake yet in the last post you said it was a combat sport? Stupidity and a lack of reality are your only 2 weapons haha.

For someone who claims not to have anything against gays, you sure constantly use a derivative term for them. But still to claim that people that work in wrestling and the fans that watch it are gay is nothing short of ignorant no matter how you look at it.
It also has nothing to do with being "defensive" as you have said nothing anyone else has said against wrestling in the past hasn't tried to pull. Those similar comments were as stupid then as they are now.
MrDeePay 2 days ago
@HOaliyartMO
While the likes of WWE, TNA, ROH, NJPW, etc. are all forms of sports entertainment, wrestling will always be contact oriented; real or not. (much like football, boxing, and even MMA)
And if this video was "wrongly put up as related to real fighting", then you could've easily ignored it and moved on with your life, but I'm guessing that was too difficult for you to do, so...
Anyway, I'm starting to feel you're just pulling my leg on this whole thing, so yeah.

@MrDeePay I agree, people can always ignore posts they don't like online. You should try taking your own advice since you posted to me first (and continue to post multiple responses each time).
Fag isn't "derivative", derogative perhaps but even then it's you who is putting the negative connotation on it.
It's not a contact sport, it's play fighting. Guys in football don't willingly let the guy grab them.
Fags play-fighting while oiled up. It's ok to come out of the closet man.

If you weren't you wouldn't be using "fag" in the first place.
MrDeePay 1 day ago
@HOaliyartMO
Wrestling (real or "play fighting") still requires people to make significant contact and it would fall under at least a full-contact sport, even though the WWE/TNA/ROH/etc stuff is scripted. Look it up.
As for me, no, I'm not gay, and neither are most wrestling fans or those that work in the profession. Again, you trying to say otherwise is nothing short of ignorant and homophobic, if not outright trolling if you're still that persistent on the issue.
MrDeePay 1 day ago
@MrDeePay Full contact wouldn't involve pulling punches.
Real wrestling (olympic, collegiate, etc) is a contact sport. Let's not be stupid and get the two confused now. Full-contact means just that, FULL CONTACT. You don't throw them in a way to where they land soft and you don't fake punch them. Plus it's scripted so it's not a sport either.
You aren't gay? Then why do you get so much entertainment out of watching grown men get oiled up in Speedos and play-fight? It doesn't add up.
HOaliyartMO 13 hours ago
@HOaliyartMO
For a troll, you sure are persistent. OK, I'll continue to entertain you.
A full contact sport is any sport in where physical contract between players to a significant level is allowed for within the rules of the game. Football, wrestling (both real and fake), MMA, boxing, and even hockey would fall under that definition.

In all honesty Sting doesnt mean this, the only reason he latched onto Booker was because he was the champion. It wasnt that Booker was disrespected it was that the champion was disrespected.

Its the Rocks character, and if Sting knew anything about it he would of known it wasnt a personal attack it was in character.

@balser77 yeah it be like if Peyton Manning was traded from the Colts to lets just say the Jets... he would only go if he was going to be the starter. hes a vet and has earned his place. hes paid hes dues (as Sting has) and wouldnt wanna tarnish his legacy and all his hard work for a couple bucks. good for him. he chose loyalty, respect and honor over vince mcmahon, attention and money

Actually WCW from 1998-2001 sucked. WCW from 1995-1997 DECENT, But WCW from the late 80's till 1995 WAS WRESTLING. The WWF was all cartoony crap, and im a huge Hulk Hogan fan. He is the only reason i watched the WWF. I was a WCW fan first. I MISS IT SO MUCH. And sting took a huge shot at Booker T Huffman here, HE was in WCW from 1993 till 2001 and was a 5 time champ and the last champ. He was a mainstay, he wasnt just some packcage deal, Sting is just mad he wasnt final original WCW Champ.

@TombstoneInc Are you serious? WCW in the early 90's had crap like the White Castle of Fear, the Dungeon of Doom, amnesia angles, Ding Dongs, etc. Plus, for a while, Lex Luger was their top star. I wouldn't associate any of this with great wrestling.

BEST WRESTLER EVER
rscr316 2 weeks ago
Damn. I think Sting misunderstood what the Rock meant by saying, "Who are you?" The Rock said that to everybody back in the day. It wasn't meant to put Booker T down, it was just something that the Rock said. Still, best not to dwell on that past. Sting did not go to the WWE, and it's apparent that he never will. Doesn't change the fact that Sting is one of the greatest wrestlers who ever lived.

@TeeAiDee : I don't think he was so much indicting The Rock as being a douche or anything, I think that when The Rock said that comment that the reality to the situation finally dawned on him that the chances of him being used correctly would be slim to none. It wasn't until MANY years later that Booker T finally got a real run with a title match against HHH at WMXIX. The whole WCW/ECW Invasion angle as exciting as it was could have been so much better.

Cont: One random question. If Sting ever finally did come to WWE, who would you rather see him in a program with? The Rock, or The Undertaker? For me, the perfect scenario would be for Undetaker to declare he wanted one last shot at a title before he retires so he enters the Royal Rumble. Taker is in there, lights go off then come back on, and suddenly he stands out on the floor with Sting standing in the ring in "Crow" form. He points to the Wrestlemania banner with his ball-bat.

@D2Kprime Yeah, the Invasion could have been the greatest storyline in professional wrestling history. It could've had Sting, Goldberg, nWo, Bret Hart, all sorts of things. Too bad Vince had an opportunity to make all the dream matches that never were.

@TeeAiDee You mean one of the greatest actors, right?

@EpicFknBrutality My comment said one of the greatest wrestlers, so I meant one of the greatest wresters. Just because storylines are involved doesn't make the sport any less physical, dude. It's still wrestling.

Sting's instinct is spot on.

If there had been more WCW top stars lke him, Goldberg, nWo members on invasion angle in 2001, it would have been more exciting story.
Darazz 2 weeks ago
@Darazz Very true. Unfortunately, the WWF(at that time) couldn't afford to get those "top stars" of WCW. In fact, the only the only WCW wrestler I recognized during the "Invasion" storyline was Diamond Dallas Page. Everybody else in WCW, I didn't recognize. Hell, even the top ECW wrestlers like New Jack, the Sandman, Sabu, Axl Rotten, and Balls Mahoney weren't part of that "Invasion" as well. If the top stars from both WCW and ECW were present, the "Invasion" of the WWF would've been better.

STING is and has been ONE OF THE BEST WRESTLERS IN THE WORLD!!! A GREAT TALENT AND HE IS RIGHT!!! McMahon used the WWF as a tool of REVENGE against TURNER when he bought the company. The WCW talent was BY-FAR GREATER than the WWF and everyone knows it and Vince was jealous of that fact and wanted to bury the guys from there. IN WCW, those guys were REAL WRESTLERS, in WWF, they are ENTERTAINERS. Everyone who is a real wrestling buff, like me, have known of the rivarly for decades from the two.

A smart decision when you think about it like that. But at the same time, WWE is WWE. And I imagine Sting wouldn't have been buried as low as Booker T, considering Sting was a huge star for many years before Booker, and he has the skin pigmentation that it normally takes to be a star in WWE (or any wrestling promotion for that matter, but especially WWE.)

And didn't Booker then have a pretty good career and become the best commentator ever?
shakinggenitals 3 weeks ago
@shakinggenitals He did, but the issue was if Sting did come in, eventually he would've been buried somehow under the politics back then with Vince and HHH. Booker had a good run with WWE, but it took a while for him to really rise to the top even after leaving WCW as its champion. Same thing with Goldberg, DDP, during their run. Sting was comfortable with how he was handled in WCW, and Vince wouldn't have been so delicate in handling Sting against guys like HHH, Rock, and Taker
