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.

You're not seriously comparing Sting to Taker are you? Taker has a legacy in the company that's lasted over a quarter century. Sting is not at a point where he can build such a legacy in WWE. He's gotta live off what people remember. I'm guessing a 9 year old doesn't remember Sting's WCW run.

My point is that age doesn't factor in kids like who they like.

For myself I discovered I liked Piper as a kid I knew nothing of his previous work before showed up to challenge Hollywood hogan and by then Piper was no where near the worker he was.

You really think kids have to have an extensive knowledge of a wrestlers body of work in order to like them?

No I just don't think a kid would look at Sting and get behind him, because just about everyone on the roster moves better than him. If they wanted to cheer for a face painter, they would cheer for Balor.

People who were fans of Sting want to see him win because of his legacy, but when you factor in his age and how little he will work, I don't see who on the roster you put him against that would have a big match feel and be willing to put him over. Maybe a guy like Jericho as a one off, but putting him over multiple guys makes no sense to me.

You don't have to have him go over multiple guys. He should have had won against HHH to build him then have him put over younger talent. Sting could have great programs with guys like Stardust, Wyatt, and Cesaro to put them over. A kid takes one look at Sting and thinks he is cool, their not going to notice his speed. For you to say kids wont get behind Sting is just dumb.Its sad when TNA books Sting better on his way out than WWE has so far.

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"

Yeah Sting and Taker a very comparable, they both have legacys. My point is WWE hasnt capitalized on Stings and have left money off the table. Stings and kids go hand and hand with each other. Kids are smarter than you make them out to be. Sting doesnt have to be pushed to the moon. Why sign him if he didn't justify the selling some merchandise to kids. Like said its WWE and Vince's job to tell Stings story but all they did was stick to killing WCW again. HHH/Sting shouldn't have been anything about WCW but that's what they made it. The only time they used Sting right was the build to Night of Champions as he was playing mind games and messing with Rollins. Sting should have came in and had a big win to build him up and then been used to put talent over. I have no problem with Sting doing the job to Rollins but Rollins had just lost a match to Cena that made Sting look even weaker and did nothing for Rollins.
