Also Sting beating HHH wouldn't hurt HHH at all. Sting is one of the greatest of all time. Beter than HHH to. Hunter could have given one promo and been right back where he was. WWE has wasted Sting and made his decision not to sign with WWE years ago a smart one. Just wish he would have stayed away from WWE if they weren't going to use him right.

Lol Sting is way below HHH in terms of all time greats. Come on now.

Look I get you are partial to Sting, so it's tough to have a rational discussion about his spot. Sting at best was going to work 3-4 matches. Even in his debut, he wasnt over like some of the huge stars (Rock, Austin, etc), so why waste a win over HHH on a guy like that?

Sting will always be better than HHH as far as all time greats go. I wouldn't even put Hunter in the top 5. Come on now.

I dont think you even know anything about Sting other than his WWE appearances. Sting was winning World Heavyweight Championship while HHH was still terror rising.

I wasn't angry at HHH for this. He could have said no, but this was one last chance for Vince to say "Fuck you, WCW! I won!" It was incredibly pathetic, if you ask me. The commentary pissed me off the most.

How do you know that was the motivation behind the booking?

If Sting going over was the right call for business, why would Vince turn down that money?

You overestimate his business acumen and underestimate his inferiority complex.

I heard it from a number of sources, including Corny, who actually, you know, WORKED for the guy.

Also, inferiority complex can easily explain the XFL, WBF, WWE studios, etc. He is ashamed to be in the business, and tries to prove himself the head of a media empire.

Also, inferiority complex can why he frames the Monday Night Wars as Vince vs. Turner, when in reality it was Vince vs. Bischoff. Turner didn't even have Vince on his radar. He couldn't see himself getting upstaged by Verne Gagne's coffee go-fer.

Hell, look up the McMyth's podcast HB2K (iirc) posted that was filled with his delusions.

I believe Cornette made statements giving his opinion on Vince making decisions that he didnt agree with, and therefore made the correlation that Vince makes decisions that are not best for business.

LOL. He's tried on multiple occasions to EXPAND his business to other forms of entertainment. Admittedly those were failures, but it doesn't mean he's ashamed of the sports entertainment indutry, hell, he invented it as we know it.

If it wasnt Turner vs Vince, why did Turner call Vince to tell him he was in the "wrasslin" business? Saying it was Eric vs Vince is an insult to Vince, because Eric didnt own WCW. I dont know if you have ever owned a company, but when you are putting everything on the line, its different than some guy who is just drawing a paycheque. Now, on Ted's side, WCW was a small portion of his overall empire, whereas for Vince it was his everything. Which is probably why Vince ultimately won.

Sorry, Mcmyths? I have no idea who that is, and I certainly have no idea what type of connection they have to Vince to know if they are just another parrot of the Dirt Sheets or actually have some useful information to share.

If Sting wins fans get behind him and buy mask, shirts and other merchandise. HHH is not going to seel anymore than what he has for years. Vince has money and doesnt worry about making the max dollar on guys he didnt create.

The only people who would be looking to buy Sting masks are likely now in their 30s or 40s. So I'm guessing sales would be minimal. Hard to imagine a new flock of kids seeing 50+ year old Sting and saying "thats my guy".

Gotta let go of your childhood hero man.

Kids don't root for 50 year olds? OK here's where I have a problem with your logic. You say the program is tailored to the kids but WWE can't build up an Icon in this business good eneogh to sell Sting mask to kids. Kids will still root for Sting today and if they dont that just goes to show you how bad HHH did in their program. I suppose kids weren't cheering Undertaker any during Undertaker week seeing how old he is and all.

My youngest nephew is about 9 and (through no fault of mine) he is IN LOVE with UT to the point where we have to get him everything taker related his mom got the WWE network because he asked for more Taker.

Shit there's a video of a special needs child who requested to meet Taker.

I don't think Sting is good enough at this stage of his career to justify pushing him to the point you would need to to get little kids behind him. And if they did, watch how quickly people on here would "lol wwe they are pushing a 50 year old over Kevin Owens"
