I liked Rude and during the time I actually liked him more. But over the years when Rude was fading into obscurity Sting began to thrive. He was a much bigger draw then rude despite having lesser mic skills Sting made up for it in Charisma.



Sting is a living Legend and may end up the first person inducted into the WWE hall of fame despite never wrestling there.

You're so full of facts it's hard to seperate the opinions huh?

shhhh, might wanna keep that part in bold a secret from guys like Verne Gagne, Nick Bockwinkel, Eddie Graham, Gordon Solie and others, they'd probably be quite surprised to find out they apparently wrestled for WWF/E

and by "Rude fading into obscurity", do you mean "retired from a serious back injury"?

Don't forget, obscurity also means appearing on both RAW and NITRO in the same night with 2 of the most known stables in professional wrestling (nWo and DX) more than 3 years after your last match, managing Curt Hennig for a period of time in WCW, and was rumored to be training for a return prior to his death.

That fucker definitely faded.

Your point is understood but much more needs to be said. The WWE recognize wrestling lineage. It traces its roots to NWA, CWC and the AWA. I guess it would go against my own logic then since Sting is a NWA/WCW wrestler. But in the end he will end up in the HOF along with Rude.thi


and how can this guy mention a back injury when he returned from that.


And him joining NWO was when they were fading aswell when infighting became their undoing. And Rude wasn't even a major factor.
