SO I can't be the only one. And being from the South, let me tell you Sting is the fucking man. They love him. He is a huge draw in the South and making him the forefront of the Bisch/Hogan story is good news, kinda coming full circle for all those fans obsessed with Sting and Hogan in 97.
I think we might see a Hogan/Bisch split as the shock here but I don't know, I'm actually enjoying it I do know that.

I can agree and respect with your opinion Fragile and yes i do know that Sting is the man in the south, he's been the man in the south since the 80's and his days with JCP and early WCW. Always has been and always will be. I've been following wrestling for over 25 years so I know where you are coming from. I too am interested in watching Impact with the direction they are using Sting from the perspective of the promos and backstage vignettes, but that's as far as it carries me. I have no real desire or passion to see Sting in ring. Someone mentioned that he can't carry anyone anymore, thats the main issue right there.
Impact is moving in the direction of wrestling matters and pushing younger talent, if Sting can't carry a guy anymore or make him look good enough for the fans to make it believable that they are over, then let a Kurt Angle, AJ, or Jeff Jarrett calibur guy that can still decently go do it and be honorable enough to take the high road and get out while you can get out on top. That's all i'm saying. If Sting could still work a limited schedule and do 1-2 television matches here and there and deliver a 3.5 star match on TV and carry a 4 star or higher on PPV then I would be all for him staying in the business on the performer side, but the truth is he can't and thats what turns me off to anything relating to him in the ring. That's why I'm saying the Hogan/Bischoff vs Sting thing will probably end at BFG.
