If YOU Were The Booker, What Would You Do With.............

[Watson]

I realize how HHH has buried former WCW wrestlers or all wrestlers that weren't made famous in WWE for that matter. But the fact is Sting is one of the most over babyfaces of all-time, Triple H is one of the top heels in recent years. So therefore a feud between the two would increse WWE ratings. Not only because of the feud but also because of the fact that the mainstream audience hasn't seen Sting in a long time. You wouldn't believe the amount of marks tha have come up to me and asked me "What ever happened to Sting?". Like I said, Sting is past his prime and is not as good a wrestler as he once was, but I believe he was working for a big company again he could get back in the groove and still be as over as he was before WCW died.

If he's such a horrible talent, Why has Vince McMahon been trying to get him to sign for so long? Because Sting is VERY charismatic and the crowd loves him. Hell even when he tried to turn heel back in WCW he was STILL cheered constantly. The crowd loves him and that's what matters. That's why WWE isn't as great today as it use to be, because the fans generally hate some of it's current talent. Even faces. Just look at Edge and I noticed somebody in the RAW thread saying that Eugene was being booed last night. Hogan got a last run. Undertaker has had many. So has Shawn Michaels. That's all I'm saying is that Sting should get one last run in WWE, a place where he's never competed and what better person to feud with than WWE's most hated wrestler.

I would bet my house that ratings WOULD NOT increase if Sting was brought in and worked a program with HHH. Sting was brought into TNA a bunch of times. Did the PPV buy rates go up a lot? Nope. Sting IS NOT a draw anymore. He's finished and the WWE wouldn't let him get anywhere near a success anyway. Hogan's last run failed misaberably. Yeah, it was good short term, but the nostalgia wore off real quick. Same thing would happen to Sting.

Sting would come back, get a huge pop, beat up HHH, ratings might increase for that show and that's it. It will all go downhill from there. The WWE tried with countless guys the past few years. Hogan, Hall, Nash, Goldberg, Steiner, Booker T, Did these guys do good business when brought in? No.

Do you know why Taker has had many runs? Answer: Because he has a big say in his direction back stage. Expect another run from him soon.

The WWE needs to create new starts, not rehash old ones. Orton, Cena, Dupree, Benjamin, HAAS, etc... are the guys they need to build around.

Yeah I mean if I signed Sting to a 5 year contract I would immediately contact my lawyers and see if I could get out of it.

Sting is a mystery to me in that I'm not really sure whether or not he would do anything for ratings/buyrates. I mean he would have a better chance with WWE than TNA because WWE has all his footage and a much bigger marketing machine to get people interested.

But you have to be realistic about things. Sting will never sign on to a deal where he has to go on the road. As a result, I dont see any point in making him a full time character on TV.

And unlike a guy like Goldberg or Hogan I dont think he has a natural rival in the WWE. The only guy I can think of is Undertaker.

So, with that in mind, what I might do is have Taker wrestle in some matches and at the end the lights go out and they focus on a crow at the end of the arena. This goes on for a month or two.

Then instead of the Crow we start to see a silouette of Sting holding a baseball bat. This would cause Taker to call him out by name to show his face. Then at some point, Taker is in a program and multiple people are beating him up. Lights go out, and Sting is in the middle of the ring with the bat and he KOs everyone around Taker. Taker gets up and looks puzzeled, Sting leaves and points the bat at Taker.

Taker and Sting wind up teaming up at a major PPV (say SurvSer) against the guys he laid out and in this match Sting is waiting for a hot tag, he cleans house, but then grabs his bat and KO's Taker. Taker/Sting lose and Sting walks off with a smile on his face.

Over the next few weeks Sting assembles an "army" who do his bidding, along with someone to do the talking. Sting would play a role simialr to what TAker did with the Ministry, kinda like a cult leader. Taker comes back about a month later, goes thorugh the "army" and eventually gets to Sting. They lock horns at Mania, Taker goes over and Sting goes home.

Its not exactly revolutionary stuff, but it might make for some entertaining TV.

That was basically what I was gonna put down. I actually looked ahead through all the posts to see if anyone posted what I was thinking and you did.
